Hi, I’m John. This site is a showcase for my songs as well as a few pages of hints and tips on home recording and songwriting.
The ‘About’ page gives you some information about me. The ‘Songs’ link at the top of this page takes you to some of the songs I’ve written and recorded where, if you're interested, you can listen to them as well as read the lyrics and also some background notes to each song. The ‘Guides & Tips’ pages include information on how I go about writing and recording songs, together with tips I hope might be useful to other home recording and songwriting enthusiasts (there’s a lot of us out there!).
July 2011: I’ve given the whole site a makeover and brought a few things up to date, I hope you like the new look. I’ve also made a few of the photos in the Guides pages into popups so now you can see larger versions of the images where I think that’s helpful.
January 2012: I’ve been working a lot lately with Presonus’s DAW ‘Studio One’ following their release of version two at the end of last year. I’ve been a loyal Sonar user for many years but I’m being won over by Studio One’s ease of use and smooth new design. My ears may be mistaken but it sounds better too! If you’re curious check it out here.
Visit the ‘Gallery’ page if you want to see pictures of my studio, recording equipment and guitars. The ‘Links’ page includes useful web sites dealing with home recording and music making. Finally, there’ a ‘Contact’ page for you to send me any feedback or questions. Thanks for dropping by!

A ‘where’s the meaning of it all’ song that’s been sitting around a long time waiting for the right style; this country rock feel seems to work well.
A song about how you can’t keep hurting the one you love with endless promises of ‘never again’...
A song about Yin/Yang, Karma if you will! If someone’s having good luck then it must mean someone else is having bad luck.
