My first attempt at a horse (watercolour painting) - quite pleased but the jockey needs a bit more work

Water colours are very difficult I think. I watch that Painting and drawing programme on Propeller 192. They make it look so easy. :)
Nice try though. I expect the horse fell on the Jockey, that's why he looks like that. =))

Well cover me in batter, deep fry me and call me a fish supper, :o THAT is bloody brilliant Drac. ^:)^

Not perfect my arse!!!

I'd like to able to write, play and record in the same calibre as that, and no, I'm not arse licking, that's my honest opinion.

And you have immortified on the web for future Drac's and junior Drac's to hear.

Well buggle me jibblers - that IS high praise coming form the Jelster - cheers mate appreciate it. The vocals could be better as I am still suffering with catarrh but the first day on the guitar in 15 days and it all went together first time (barring a few small mistakes)

This is more satisfying to me now than it ever was in the 60's playing on stage in front of 1500 people at Bath Pavillion, even if only me and you like it - I am having so much fin making and creating my music

Just wish I could play the drums!!!!

Oh and it sounds so much better through the ipod or iphone

My latest song, written and recorded by me, can be found here http://soundcloud.com/derekrainey/nightmares

Its the fourth on the 'A Tour In Afghanistan' cd I am slowly putting together and this is about the nightmares after the tour is over, trying to get back to 'normality'

Not everyone's cup of tea I realise but I love making music and this is the first year I have been able to record it (can't play the drums so no drums on it)

There are three Guitar tracks, one bass track and two vocal tracks all done on a Tascom DP-04

As many of you know, my songwriting is posted on Reverbnation now. I am currently 21st in the local charts of Bristol Songwriters (from 17th) but i need people to actually PLAY the songs via Reverbnation.

Therefore I would appreciate it if you would all check out my new song (written two days ago) my first attempt at a Beatles style song. I know my vocals are not brilliant bit to me, the pleasure is in creating the music and words in songwriting.

All my music is created in the spare room on a four track digital recorder

Thanks in advance for your support - Lets see if you can all get me higher in the local charts
