The Stars Tonight (2025)

Stronger Than The Sun (2000). “The original version of this song was recorded in a friends lounge-room on a Tascam 4 track. A single take on the second run through the song. We had just gotten together for a day of playing through whatever came to mind. I had just written this so I threw it out for some feedback and everyone there just jumped on board and this (Live track on the EP “No One Owes You”) was the result. Myself and Gordon Slattery on guitars. Kim Stubbs, Michael Slattery and Gordon on BV’s. Again a reasonably long song. This recording (Live Track) picks it up about two verses and a chorus in. It was at that stage a work in progress and I was never really happy with the verses so (ha ha) that’s why they’re not on the original take. Twenty-five years have gone by so I guessed it was about time to finish it off. “

The way things used to be done

Ideas for songs recorded on cassette between 2000 – 2001

The way things are done now

These days of course after 50 years of songwriting it’s as straightforward as making a cup of tea. Songs are written on guitar and charted (the old way) and then recorded as ‘Voice Memos’ Lyrics are then typed directly into ‘Notes’ and then uploaded to SUNO where they are re- interpreted as a ‘Cover’ which is simply a process of Arranging and Producing with the ‘target’ being to stay as close to the original as possible.

Below is a screenshot of folder contents demonstrating that getting to the sound that is right for the song is often a time consuming process.
