This song was written ages ago, when I was in high school, sometime around 1985. Teenage angst wrapped in cutesy English phrases I stole from music I was listening to. Me and Dirk performed this song once or twice at school events. We called it “bunck”: blues and rock and punk (with “c” because we lived close to Hattem.)
This version features Roland V-Drums, Fender Jazz bass and my Gretsch Electromatic. Recorded August 2009.
I’m rebooting this blog for the umpteenth time. This time, the emphasis will be on my music and my recordings. I’ve been having fun with my new drums and made a couple of recordings, and I need a place to show them off.
For day-to-day chatter, come look me up on Facebook.
Meanwhile, bear with me while I get this thing up and running again.
One-man band monospace plays pop music that runs the gamut between glam rock and introspective singer/songwriter material. The strong melodic hooks are sung in a pleasant tenor, and the backing is coolly minimal.
