Wait!   (60′s beat)   3:15
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
In the 1970s I played guitar in a band, in Dublin, which played a lot of Beatles songs. Naturally enough, I wrote a few 60's beat songs. This is one of them.

Although You′re Gone   (pop)   4:08
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
This song is about a lovely elderly neighbour of mine in Achill, Catherine McNulty, who died in 1998 She was a kindly and friendly neighbour.

Achill Island   (pop - rock)   3:49
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
This song began as a slow air in the early 1970s but changed to an up tempo song in the 1990s.

Rainy Day   (folk pop)   3:01
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
An 'acoustic' song with harmony - very easy listening.   Yet another 'negative' song. Sad songs are much more fun!

5
The Hooley   (celtic rock)   4:29
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
Don't be fooled by the vocal start - the 'rock' part comes after - get ready to 'lep' around the kitchen!

6
Your Song   (romantic ballad)   4:18
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
A love song - a true experience. Acoustic song with orchestration. Full of music. Have a good listen.

7
Angel Called Love   (world pop)   3:32
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
An acoustic song, simple lyrics, unusual orchestration - pan pipes, flute and a lovely rhythm.

8
Dancing Gang   (rock n′ roll)   3:58
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
Rock 'n' roll with harmonies. Nice guitar solo - a chance to let my hair down (before it all falls out!).

9
It′s No Use   (melodic blues)   4:42
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
A simple blues song but with harmonies and a sus4 chord structure (on the dulcimer) making it sound different.

10
On A Saturday   (alternative)   4:35
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
A song about the terrorist bombing atrocity in Omagh, Co Tyrone, Ireland, on Saturday 15th of August 1998.
This is a strange song with bleak verses but with beautiful haunting choruses with strings. Well worth a listen.

11
Springtime Blues   (jazzy blues guitar)   4:52
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
This is an electric guitar improvisation track. Nothing was rehearsed. A 'one take' experience. THIS is Lou.

12
Singing High   (alternative)   6:06
  -   Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
This song is about the concentration camps during WW2. I heard a story of Jewish elders questioning whether god had abandoned them to extermination. A bleak song. The music is a bit like a funeral march but well worth a listen.

13
Baby Carrie  (orchestral)   4:07
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
Originally hummed to a chord exercise. Beautiful but slightly unusual orchestral piece - includes electric guitar. Certainly not the norm.

14
On A Saturday (acoustic)   (alternative) 5:23
Play Low  -   Play Full  -   Music Shop  -   Song Page
(see track 10). This is the 'original' version - how the song was written. Just 1 voice and 1 acoustic guitar.
