Another lockdown song… You never know what sort of thoughts and feelings and words a few chords might evoke until you pickup the guitar and start playing. Well there was a lot of time on my hands back then…so I wrote a few songs. Some of them are still coming together and I’m also trying not to be too much of a perfectionist with them…easier said than done haha I’m trying not to drive myself me...

‘Giving all I’ve got’ Song I started writing on piano during lockdown I stumbled on an old recording of it on my phone while out on a walk earlier today Thought it was worth continuing with. Just needed a few lyrics here and there and it feels a bit more complete at this point Here’s an acoustic version of it Blessings, Chris

I’ve covered this before…who hasn’t lol…this time doing an acoustic version… ‘My Way’ one of the great songs made famous by one of the great voices, Frank Sinatra, and amazing songwriting by Paul Anka.

Had a fill in gig with a country band on the weekend, which kind of rekindled an interest in country music, particularly the classic stuff from 60s-90s. This song written by Vince Gill and Tim Dubois is a good example of a country song that has some heart and soul and a lovely melody too. I’ve been discovering there’s some gems in the country genre, even though it’s not all for me, there’s defi...

Song I wrote during a bit of a rough patch in early 2022. Have been tinkering with it again. Here’s a recording of it. Cheers and let the creativity keep flowing, Chris

From our first rehearsal in a few years haha Still warming up perhaps! Getting ready for our first gig in years Come along and be a part of it! Cheers! Chris And Duncan Rock and Blues Duo

One of the greatest ballads ever written IMHO. Eric is a master singer-songwriter and guitar player. One of the all time greats. Definitely one my biggest musical inspirations and influences. Thank you for the music Eric. Here’s my take on ‘Tears in Heaven’, written by Eric Clapton.

True Love Ways (Originally by Buddy Holly) Songwriting by Buddy Holly / Norman Petty My take on another Buddy song that has served me well over the years at gigs (and hopefully a few people in the audience 🤞) Some of these Buddy songs are reasonably comfortable to sing, the flowing melody and where it sits in my vocal range, sometimes that helps, to relax me a bit, give me some forward momentum...

‘Raining in my heart’ Songwriting by The Bryants Made famous by Buddy Holly I’ve sung this song at a few gigs over the years. The melody and lyrics were calling to me again the other day and was time to revisit it. Hope it helps soothe you in some way like it‘s helped me. Best, Chris

I wrote this song about 12 months ago. Took some time to land on the right key to sing it in. That can often be a question mark for a while. And hear an arrangement, how the instruments might all come together. That can be a bit of trial and error at times. I started recording it once or twice before those things eventually fell more into place. Like many of the songs I’ve written, I remember i...

Barry has heaps of good songs. They have comforted me through the highs and lows, over the last few years especially. Here’s my take on his classic track ‘I can’t smile without you.’ Peace and joy, Chris
