i understand you are in canada now...how's that going?many mersey fans there??? you don't put anything on youtube?
it is a free service....people can steal your music tho...unless you give it to them...that'll keep the thieves honest...i am down at the bottom of the continent...florida...it's nice....country atmospere where i live...i use to live in south florida but i didn't want my kids in the city so we moved to the country...i was raised in the country till i was 11 tho...so i'm comfortable in the sticks... ;D you know we could make you a free web site if you are game....as fans we would do that...there are great free host to just post info on...sound click seems kind generic...even tho it is a great host...we could probally tripod you a site....tripod is the one i used for my beatles site...i think they are still free...http://originalonefeather.tripod.com/

We had no choice but to record the songs we were told to do. Cavern Stomp wasn't that bad -- it moved along a bit. The last time I saw Seridan or spoke with him was back in the '60's at the Star Club.

Holy F*n cow.

Brian Griffith is posting on this site. I cannot believe this.

Welcome sir. You may not know it, but you are royalty! I love listening to your soundclick songs. I'm going back and listen to your Cavern songs now.

Did you know Bill Harry well? He posts on here too.

Any technical help you may or may not need, there are lots of folks here that will help you gladly, me among them.

I live in San Antonio, TX., also the southern part of our fair continent.

Welcome again!
I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

Keep in mind that these songs are home recordings. I guess the quality is not too bad on some of them, but if people enjoy them, so be it ! I know Bill Harry from the old days back in the 'pool, he was a tremendous influence on the whole scene back in the '60,s. As for a few songs on youtube -- how about 'Waltz For Paddy' and 'Ain't That Somethin'.
                            These songs were done for fun, and to see if I could still put things together. My son encouraged me to start playing again quite a few years back --  so there you go.

My son put these on for me. They are from an album recorded in 1973 with Johnny Gus -- Nigel Olsen ( drums) and myself. Recorded in London in about a week, between Guinness drinking sessions and whoever turned up on time. I 've always thought that they had a simple, honest, original sound. Gus always had a great voice -- just listen to 'Angel Baby' !

i look forward to putting putting paddys waltz on youtube...do you have some ideas of some images that we can use??things that were in the groove then or something that reminds you of playing the songs...it has to be a feeling great video type thing...after all your name is on it.....and i would hate to do any injustice to your music...but i will also research something from back when if you want....so are you coming out of retirement then?????you could keep the mersey beat alive in canada...

first song is one i like something other guy and you guys do a good version of it...drinking is good for creativity sometimes tho isn't it?it sounds like club rock...at least music has come out of the basement tho huh..second song a little bit..worth a twice listen ...so far... ;).. ;D in america they called it garage rock because that's where they played it..listening to the third now all of me....you guys seem comfortable jamming together...good music not overtly agressive sounding and well put together...it is very 70s isn't it???that fits right in with the music then..you could get bear records to release an album if you provided enough tunes...they take on mersey projects among other eras..have you ever had contact from them??all of me is great...like jazz...you are very accomplished..but we knew tha already....moving on to angel baby...damn that's a smooth graceful entrance into it...is that ronnie???!!! ;D kidding i love the serious approach...i can almost feel myself at the sock hop...on to 5....moving on to if you got to make a fool of somebody...i like the horn in this one...is that an accordian too???
probally a u k release???i enjoyed them griff and will search for it on vynil...i still got a kicing record player lol
yoiu guys got shafted by decca too....bummer.......
