It is thanks to my father that this recording has survived.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love Solo
This is a great solo by one of Rocks greatest players; Brian May. I recorded this recently and will redo some parts in the future. Hopefully it will end up with a vocal track. Everything is live except the bass drum and one hand clap track. Two additional 'real' hand clap tracks were added. (They were the most difficult...just kidding-though I did mess up the timing once or twice.) The snare is an old steel Yamaha resting on a glass table. The new Remo Ambassador head sounds great but probably needs to be tighter. Still, I thought it worked okay.

Eternal Father
This is a beautiful hymn. It was composed in 1860. See Psalm 107. The idea is to add vocals at some stage.

Secure In Him
A song by Hazell and Bowen. Sung by one of the most talented musicians I have ever known. We miss his music but mostly we miss his gentle and kind spirit.

A Place In The Sun
I composed this number around 2002. Drum loops from the first Level 42 drummer help give this recording a distinctive sound from an earlier era... but one that a rather enjoy. I hope you like this too.

Never No Lament (Duke Ellington 1940) August 22, 2020
This is a special number that I recorded yesterday for my late father. He loved the music of Duke Ellington. I'm sure he would have approved of my version.
Most High and Glorious God
This is a beautiful song composed and sung by a very special friend who is no longer with us. Wade was joined by Tiffany who graciously added her angelic voice. This was recorded back in 1987.
