An Album is for Life. . .

Talking with my good buddy Andrew he told me that modern artists don't even call their releases 'albums' any more; now they call them 'playlists'. When I put together a collection of songs and release them at the same time, I call it and 'album'. For me, an 'album' has a sort of integrity and a structure both melodically and in theme and narrative.

So anyway the family did something rather irresponsible last weekend. They left me on my own.

I suspect they thought they'd find me with the cats feeding off me when they returned but no! Within an hour I had the 'studio' set up in the living room near a warm fire, and some brandy and a track list of songs to demo for a new album.

I decided I'd do this album differently to the last one (which was a collection of songs already in existence).  For this Album I wanted to use new compositions and break them in from scratch.
So I managed to put out twelve demo versions of songs for the album. and as promised I'll include one here.

The song I have put on here is just an acoustic guitar and vocal with a basic drum-track to keep count. It's called 'Elevator'.

Then I went to the beach and did a 'video' but the android knocked the sound and vision out of sync, so I'll have another go at that this week.
