I played a set at The Song Room last week, 23 July, and thought I’d record the same songs for the website.
I did a bit of talking between the songs, which I edited today…quite an illuminating exercise! Lots of little vocal clicks, tics, habits and halations. (Unfortunately for my alliterative ambition, ‘halations’ isn’t actually the blanket term for exhalations and inhalations, instead having something to do with photography. If anyone knows what the word is – if one exists at all – for breath noises, be they in or out, please share.)

Let me know what you think of the podcast, so I can improve things for the next one.
I’ve started a new page on the site, ‘Any requests…?’, up there at the top right. The idea is that people (you?) might send in a request for a song you would like me to record and I’ll put it up on the page. I sent a note to my fans on Facebook (all two dozen of them – legends every one 🙂 – follow the Facebook link on the left and become one today!) and got a couple of interesting songs suggested within a day or two. Please keep the ideas coming and let me know what you think of the ones I’ve already posted. Don’t worry about being critical: I have to approve the comments before they appear on the site anyway!
If you do like the songs then please consider throwing some virtual coins into my virtual PayPal guitar case. If you don’t want to do that then please tell your friends about the site, link to it on your blog, your Facebook site etc.
