This one might be developed into something pleasant enough, though it currently only has a few interest chord progressions part-way in.

This one actually has some potential as the beginning of a song. I may revisit it, time allowing.

Just practicing my fingering techniques. No rude comments, please…

Playing around with some interesting chord progressions.

Just tooling around, as we said back in the day. Still, near the end of this little free form session I found what I was looking for – some hooky chord progressions I could build a song on.

Aside from my atrocious singing, this is a pretty good tune. Put the squawking goose aside, if you can, and you’ll hear an upbeat little ditty reminiscent of some of the clever chord progressions in some of the Beatles more light-hearted offerings. Now, if it only wasn’t for that screeching cat on the vocals.

An experiment in discord. I hear my dog, Flop, in the background near the end. That means I was still living at home with my parents when this recording was made, so it was definitely pre-1976 but more than likely around 1971 or 1972.

I never listened to punk music until after the year 2000, but apparently I was right in the timeline for composing musically correct unharmonic tonalities, though this one is probably a bit too gentle and melodic to even qualify as Punk’s little brother.

I’ve always thought of this one as like the ending theme for an upbeat Charles Chaplain silent movie. Makes me smile. (Wait… was that a reference to a song Chaplain wrote? I guess we’ll never know…)
