October 2022
I have owned this Washburn bass guitar since 1985. It has been my recording bass for most of my musical life. It has had the same strings on since I the day got it (and it wasn't even new back then). However, after 37 years of faithful service, its strings were beginning to disintegrate and in fact were becoming something of a health hazard, but I didn't want to put bright, zingy new strings on.
A good pal came to my rescue, with a set of used, flat-wound strings, that he'd tried out for a little while before taking them off his own bass. They might not have suited his particular requirements, but they are perfect for mine - and they are not going to sound too bright and brash - plus they're already secondhand!
If they are as good as my old ones, they should see me through till somewhere around 2059...

...well, it can't always be good news, can it? After a lifetime of loading guitars into all manner of vehicles, I finally managed to drive the rear wheel of my car over my favourite Telecaster one frosty morning, cracking the body and damaging the neck joint. All fixed up and glued back together again now, but a needless exercise really; if I had just been more careful...

Fifty Up!
Over the past few months I have been putting some of my own songs onto YouTube. They're not studio recordings, just basic, simple vocal & guitar renditions, but they are all original Owen Moore songs and some are brand new whilst others are songs that I have previously recorded on my albums.
I haven't arranged or uploaded these YouTube tracks in any particular order, I just played whatever song I felt like doing at the time.
Anyway, I have now uploaded song number 50 and I have created a playlist which I've called Owen Moore Original Songs. There are plenty of tracks to choose from and the whole playlist can be found on YouTube.
If you'd care to, please dip into it from time to time and have a listen a song or two. Thanks...

New CD just finished.
A collection of a dozen country music songs, with the classic themes of love, loss, hope and despair. Some date from my very earliest street-singing days and many were recorded originally by such performers as Don Williams, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Willie Nelson. One or two tracks are sad and reflective, others more bright and joyful, but all are recorded in a laid back and low key style to create a gentle, mostly acoustic-sounding album. "City Streets & Country Songs".

Had an enjoyable time as the guest on Tony Pankhurst's two-hour country music show on Skyline Gold, picking a lot of the music tracks and chatting about my own songs. The following week Tony kindly played a Live track of mine that I'd only just recorded a couple of nights earlier. Quick work!

May 2014
New album now available as a download on lots of digital music sites, including iTunes and Amazon:-
"Bar Rooms, Back Rooms & October Songs"
The month of October 2013 was very busy and after recording many of the gigs I played, I picked sixteen songs for a Live album.
The songs were all recorded in small places, mostly noisy bars or cafes, so the album certainly doesn't have a perfect studio-type sound to it; far from it in fact. The music just took its chances along with everything else that was going on there at the same time, but even so, I hope the tracks will convey something of the atmosphere of a real live, face-to-face, intimate music event.
