Archives: The Rock Financial Sessions - L.A. Woman

So back in 2004 to 2006, I could quite often be found in the basement of an office block in Kingston, playing guitar with 3 other musicians. We never performed live, but we’d meet up at least twice a week and play whatever songs we felt like.
 
Around 2005, I began to record these sessions. I had an old Tascam 4-track recorder, which I used as a mixing desk and I’d plug several mics into and record a whole session onto one minidisc.
 
Shortly before the festive period, while digging out the Christmas decorations from under the stairs, I found my old minidisc recorder, along with several minidiscs featuring these sessions.
 
They’re a bit rough around the edges, but a nice little trip down memory land for me. For posterity’s sake, I’m planning to digitise them all and upload them. There’s several hours worth of material, so it will take me a little while. 🙂
 
In the meantime, here’s our work-in-progress take on The Door’s L.A. Woman.
 
Featuring:
  • Mark on vocals
  • Terry on bass
  • Alan on drums
  • Colin (me) on lead guitar

About Merry Xmas Everybody As John Lennon once sung, so this is Christmas...  So yeah, as Christmas approached us this year, I began to consider whether I should bother recording a festive song or not. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas songs, most of them are...

About Waiting So here it is, the first song I’ve written in over 10 years.  Aptly called “Waiting”.  The fact it took me years to pull my finger out to write something and 3 months to record the damn thing, only to end up calling it “Waiting”, is an irony not lost on...
