especially for Someone. (8th October 2003) My voice is definitely going so I never really got this to sound like I wanted. Also I haven't played in a long time and it notices that I am a bit rusty. |

Vocals - Clive Lead Guitar - Clive Acoustic Guitar - Peter Welch The Rest was created on a PC as a midi file |
Light Rock. This is the early days of playing guitar with Peter Welch, its a bit loose and the odd bad note but the song is good and Peter plays some excellent guitar in this. |
| Driving (Size = 1,705,900) |
Lead Guitar - Clive Rhythm Guitar - Peter Welch Percussion - Yamaha QR10 |
This was not a song at all, I left the four track running while we were just jamming and this was the result.... Also there was a gap between takes and a small hole was left in the track, the tape had originally been used for Orbital satellite reception and in the gap at 2mins 13secs into the song you can hear a line of NOAA12 satellite picture, I thought it sounded okay so I left it in. |
| Up Early (Size = 962,977) |
Guitar - Clive Percussion - A very old early type drum box that sounds awful by todays standards |
I got up at about 4am one morning and just played this straight off, I made it up as I went along, its very old now but it may interest some people that like instrumental guitar picking. |
| Out
On A Limb * (Size = 878,136) |
Vocals - Clive Keyboards - Peter Cooper Lead Guitar - Clive Rhythm Guitar - Peter Welch |
Light Rock. My son Peter wrote this tune for a school music project, I liked it and decided to put some words and lead guitar to it. |
| Without
You (Size = 611,032) |
Vocals - Clive Keyboards - Clive Midi File by Clive Percussion - Yamaha QR10 |
Ballad. This song went through a number of phases and had about 3 sets of words written for it, I liked the chord sequence so persevered with it, I am quite happy with the end result. |
| Dreaming

| Lady
Of Shalot ** (Size = 1,100,872) |
Vocals - Clive Lead Guitar - Clive Rhythm Guitar - Peter Welch Percussion - Yamaha QR10 |
This is an old tune although this is a
slight variation of it, so if you think it sounds like 'Old Love' by Eric Clapton then it
does, the words are excerpts from a poem by Alfred Tennyson called 'Lady of Shalot'. This was a straight live take and I find it quite difficult to both play and sing at the same time and it notices in this. |
Note :-
* = Music written by Peter Cooper, Words by Clive Cooper
** = Words are excerpts from the famous poem by Alfred Tennyson called 'Lady of Shalot'
music is a variation of 'Old Love' by Eric Clapton.
A very special thanks to Peter Welch who played a lot of styles and things that he personally didn't care too much for but we had some fun recording these.
