The studio is almost finished now. Andrea Adriano has put much time, research and effort into its design, so if any credit is due it's certainly all his. I think it's going to sound as good as anything that cost 10 times as much to put together.
Since Liam, our drummer, passed away in December and Reg, the second guitar, went down with lymphoma we remaining three have decided to do something of a Beatles; ditch the covers thing and do our own stuff in the studio and do the occasional gig. Andrea has become our Chester Thompson (on drums).
Though there are still some baffles and things to put up etc. we put a desk and the eight track tape machine in for the afternoon and recorded a couple of rather dodgy tunes by some geezer called fretslider, to get an idea of how it's going to sound.
There are some fluctuations in volume as we used an old tape for the test - they're mucho expensive, 70 quid a pop - it's a very basic mix, but it sounds promising.

These sound very good, Fretslider. I am assuming that is you playing the lead guitar.
Could you possibly give us the lyrics, or a link to the lyrics?
Thank you for letting us have a preview.

Er, yes it is me, Jessie. I don't have the lyrics to hand. I'll have to get them - probably at the weekend. |

That would be very nice, Fret. I may be a little hard of hearing and that keeps me from being able to pick up on everything. If you are putting these tunes on You Tube, you really should publish the lyrics with a link. Sometimes the words make all the difference in whether listners go back to play a song over and over.
Good luck. It is a pleasure to have your music here.

Finally got the lyrics....
Anxious
Anxious you dont want me
Anxious you dont care
Anxious if make a date
Anxious you wont be there
Anxious about the future
Anxious bout security
Anxious about our children
And what they'll grow up to be
Everytime I step forward
I take two steps back
Do i live up to expectations
Will you compromise the Lack
Anxious about your lover
is he abusing you
Anxious that your leaving me
And I dont Know what to do
Im really anxious
Anxious about depression
The prosac there giving me
Anxious about my happiness
and the alcohol release
Anxious about the bruising
and the hurt you caused inside
Anxious about the scars on your facewhen i cut you like a knife
Every time I step forward
I take two steps back
Do I live up to expectations
Will you compromise my situation
or compromise my lack
Im really anxious
oh so fucking Anxious .
How many times (Darling)
How many times
can I bang my head against this brick wall
can you change your mind
cos what you say
make no sense at all
you say love is blind
but what you say makes me feel so small
Chorus
How many times,
how many times darling,
how many times,
do you pick me up after you make me fall
How many times do I ask if co dependancy's
to blame,
i think your wasting my time, you criticise and antagonise my brain.
How many times with your finger pointing and self
destructive heart
can you please change your view on this nihilistic self depreciative farce
How many times will your demons jump out and set themselves on me
Chorus, How many times
Im not very secure sweetheart
my feelings need transforming cant you see
to my surprise your existence is only for me
