That's Amore Nossa Vida
This was recorded during our last song at the home of John and Alexandra. A very special way to end 10 years of making music with my father-in-law.

Another Grey Day - Viva Voce
This is a number I composed back in 1986 or 1987. It was a great number to perform live and one that Wade enjoyed. I hope you enjoy it too.

Layla performed by AB (backing Loren and Holly)
This is a recording I've just rushed to complete. It features my wife and daughter on backing vocals. It's not perfect but it has come out rather nicely I thought.

Englishman in New York
This is an idea that I had for Sting's Englishman in NY. It features the homemade cajon and the homemade white guitar. I was quite pleased with the sound. When we perform it live, Keith is on bass. He does a great job.

The White Guitar
This piece was recorded using the white home-made guitar, the home-made cajon as well as featuring the home-made recording apparatus. Note how conveniently the iPad and microphone are positioned on the device and rest on the cajon. The piece was improvised more-or-less on the spot while I recorded it but it came out quite nicely. I'm thinking of calling this number either 'Home-Made' or 'Made in the Kitchen', because that's mostly where the white guitar was assembled...
Stairway to Heaven featuring Gary Deacon
This is a short clip performed at the Winchester Mansions with Gary Deacon on guitar and myself on percussion. The piece turned out really nicely given that we had never played it together before the gig.
