superb guitar work as usual. the lyrics were hard to hear but i caught the sentiment ,the reflection and the memories of your brother. The song was short , a mixture of beauty with a sad undertone my memories of my brother aren't quite the same, we weren't close . he was older like yours but didn't treat me like a little brother. we were 4 years apart and didn't treat me very well but it is what it is .
Very impressive guitar work,unfortunately the tiny speakers I am listening to this on are throttling the vocal so I will have another listen later.Top marks for the guit
alone tho'

I stopped back for another listen this morning! "The Minstrel Show" goes good with a cup of Coffee.
I noticed the '39 Ford. My Dad used to have one. I remember sitting on the bumper with my shotgun as he drove it down the dirt roads in the evening. We always got a couple grouse for dinner that way. I was probably around 10 years old.
~Through the night, and darkness, we rush forward to the tops of the universe. What for we're?~
The original version of this song was composed, written and mixed on board of the night train to Berlin, in 2004. Here is an updated version number…
Overnight
the world went fake
Everything has been replaced
With pale imitations
Gray reflections
The food has no taste
Surrounded by automatons
Programmed not to see what's going on
Cheap props and flimsy sets
A tired plot and bad effects…
Began with the drum beat, added some guitar sounds, messed about with Revitar 2 and put them on top of the drums, did some experimenting with the lyrics, I looked up all the strains of weed and made a list of their names and made the song out…
Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.
I read in the newspaper about an 82-yr-old woman in Houston who got arrested for growing seven marijuana plants in her back yard. The song almost wrote itself.

Lyrics:
Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
In one part I harmonized the E Phrygian intro with G Mixolydian, thought that was kinda neat. In the original tune I like the lyrics: "I am not a sailor, I am a captain, I am a captain." Electric guitar kicks in around the half way point.
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…
Poor Reg's mate Ronald lost his job in the Government cuts now this whole world is caving in..... he has the bailiffs pounding at his door and he can't take anymore........he has lost his pension....soon to lose his house ......he's already lost…
Well....the lead in the background and the main is done by a vocal Fx ......no guitars were harmed ......the rest of the music was my trusty M-audio Pro keys ......i sent it over to the other Reg as an example of what i wanted him to do with…

Morning John. This puts me in mind of Pete Seegers 12 string work, then Fred MacDowle.

Nice playing!
That train whistle at the start is brilliant... like the rest of this tune.
The mandolin is a nice touch. A very pretty and poignant song.
Listened to all the songs and liked the slices of Americana. Very nice. ER

The theremin sounds are a nice effect.
Very nice.

Like this one Gene.
Soundin like Mississippi Fred McDowelll on this one.
There's more old drunks than there are old doctors.
After years of med school they still call it practising medicine.
