Started playing around with guitar sounds, looking for something of a 50s or 60s "The Shadows" kind of sound. Lyrics were then about looking back and wondering what you might change... and deciding nothing, as then you never know what would be lost.

About being human, always slipping up, but never giving up. Had a session singer hired for this one.

Jimmy Borja whom I met on my trip to Nashville last March have stayed in touch. We try to write via skype from time to time. Late in October - he suggested a Xmas Song. I started humming to some melancholy chords and "Every Single Christmas" happened.

This is a song I wrote for my wedding three years ago. I just recently set up the studio at he and so this is a relatively new recording. This was my first real rcording in Reaper so ...

This is a lyric that grew out of one of Brent's WordPlay Thursday exercises It's a rewrite of my first draft, which was basically stream of consciousness. This is basically a lyric entry. The soundtrack is just a crude rendition of the melody, but I thought it would be better than just reading it. Maybe not. You can ignore it.

Went to Nashville on my March Break with my best friend. It was our first trip. My dad drove us from Guelph. We had so much fun. One of the things I tried to do was play out as much as possible and do a bunch of co-writes - Up was one of them.

This is another of my singles - just putting it out there to see what you guys make of it!

Song about heartbreak, broken dreams and the power of the human spirit. Words & Music by Carlos Tabora and Marilyn Oakley.
