DescriptionI am an "senior" musician, and have played guitar and bass in numerous bands, professionally and semi professionally over the last 40 years or so. I am married with two adult children and four wonderful grand children who I love with a passion. Arthritis has curtailed my band playing days, so I have now moved on into the world of composing and producing; I often work in collaboration with my son who is a reasonably talented guitar player. I have a compact recording setup at my home, running Logic Pro X. Whilst I love composing, I often struggle developing lyrics; I seem to have an ever growing catalogue of music, patiently awaiting a suitable lyric. I would love to find a lyricist who is looking for musical challenges to attack. I'm comfortable writing to a writers pre-set lyrics or developing a musical composition for a lyricist to write to. I'm easy going and above all realistic about my musical ambitions; I'm also honest and committed, but I do have musical standards which I won't compromise. Let's talk

Music

Forever

Instrumental needing lyrics/vocals, Genres: Oldies, Pop, Blues

A tricky combination of orchestration and rock. Big THANK YOU to my son Aaron for the guitar solo and help developing the bridge. Very pleased with the way the transitions between sections has come together. Lyricists......where are you?

It's Much Better That Way

Instrumental needing lyrics/vocals, Genres: Classical, Oldies, Pop

This one was started some time ago but it just didn't quite work. It's funny how little simple things make all the difference.....played around with simple French horn and oboe motifs and .......there she was. Lyrics and melody will be a challenge!

You Give Me Wings

Instrumental needing lyrics/vocals, Genres: Country, Oldies, Pop

An upbeat melodic piece, with an interesting tempo change in the bridge. Needs a lyric.

Wish Away the Pain

Full demo song with music and vocals, Genres: Classical, Pop

A ballad for George

Full demo song with music and vocals, Genres: Classical, Pop

George was a fabulous drummer/vocalist that I worked with for over 30 years. He passed away in 2022. We were very close, he was like the brother I never had. This is my tribute to him and who he was.

Big Piano Gospel Ballad

Instrumental needing lyrics/vocals, Genres: Pop

A big piano ballad with a hint of Gospel

A Song For Mark

Instrumental needing lyrics/vocals, Genres: Pop

My cousin Mark, a fabulous father, husband and friend, took his own life in 2022. I wrote this song to help me express some of my feelings and emotions through music.
