Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) : Recorded at Trackside Studios in Essex in October 2003 this was a Red Letter Days gift for my 40th birthday. This was my attempt at the Paul Young version of Marvin Gaye's song. I'm not entirely sure why I chose this song!
Heaven Tonight : I learned recently that Pete Way and Paul Chapman of Waysted died in August and June respectively. Their album Save Your Prayers is a favourite, so this is my attempt at a tribute.
Ballroom Blitz : Recorded for a competition on The Fretboard forum. I think it was the second single I ever owned.
California Uber Alles : Recorded for a competition on The Fretboard forum. I first heard it years ago on the Johnnie Walker radio show, bought the single, and played it over and over.
Don't Wait For Me : Recorded for a competition on The Fretboard forum. Took a melancholy Thunder song and made it more melancholy.
