Now we have a song to describe the experienced, kinda like what Woody Guthrie did for us.
Your songs are always good Robert!
I uploaded this tune several years ago. The other day I found the track was truncated,and when I tried to replace it, that didn't work. Well, anyway, since then I've redone all the vocals and remixed & remastered the tune, so I just blew away…

Hi Robert,
I haven't experienced that problem of downloading automatically.
I have to say your songs are reaching a new level of professionalism. You are leaving the rest of us in the dust.

Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
I've been teasing Steve (SLKrell) about Rose, from Las Cruces Nevada, ever since he wrote a song about her for Valentines Day a few years ago.
Rosie is a figment of our imagination. I wrote a song about stealing her away from Steve:

Greg you never shoulda trusted a woman who'd pick up a banjo player in a drive-thru!

Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…
Reminiscent of Neil Young and certainly as good a song as just about any of his. Never did like his voice though. Yours works well with this tune and instrumentation.
Lyrics:
After the Sun goes down
Lay in bed no sleep to be found
And the shadows dance on walls
After the Sun goes down
Just a reflecting time
The clock just seems to unwind
The silence gets so loud
Just a reflecting time
It won…

This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day.

Comments on Robert Palomo's stuff
Hahaha! This has to be a true story.
Robert . . . I'm laughing over here! It's another bullseye! *Big Celine, My kinda gal*
That was so much fun my toes are damp.
Now that's telling it like it is!!! Love this. Awesome!!
This is so good Robert! I can feel every painful word.
I love it! *. . . . Been there / Done That . . . .* Now we have a song to describe the experienced, kinda like what Woody Guthrie did for us. Your songs are always good Robert!
fabulous!
I'm smiling and laughing all the way through! You certainly know how to capture the moment.
..great band, joe..
whoa, that's different
Wahoo!
Great work as always!
exceptional..

this is wonderful! I love the lyrics. Your voice is glorious!
FANTASTIC ROBERT! This is a great song! Impeccable production too!
Another good one, your vocals continue to mature. Here"s, a thought: how about a Greg Connor / Palomo collab. Uh hah !
Wow. I mean really wow.
Andres Russe: Rum is indeed an important ingredient. It's the main ingredient of this one: http://www.robertpalomo.com/port_royal_rum :-)
love your voice!!!!
Comments made by Robert Palomo
I will love this song as long as love don't end!
Tight "band", simple, straight-ahead tune, from-the-heart lyrics. Yep. I like it.
B.B. Connor!
Reminds me of Neil Young. But I'd rather listen to your voice than his. Never was a big fan of his that way.
Do we have... I THINK we do have... a Rose of Las Cruces TRILOGY!! Greg you never shoulda trusted a woman who'd pick up a banjo player in a drive-thru!

It's GREAT as is. But if I had a pedal steel and knew how to make it cry...

Yum yum. Tasty!
Smile smile smile
I'm an acoustic maniac. But I love this. Very very tasty. And seriously good lyrics for our times. A keeper for sure.
That was very nice to listen to whilst sitting watching it snow and wondering why. :-)
@GregConnor - been re-recorded from scratch & 'tis needed remix. Will miss St. Paddy's this year :-(
Ah Connor me boyo, faith and 'tis smilin' I am!
Going very nicely with dessert.
I hadda go and play this after a long day with very light lunch, right as it's getting to be dinner time. Working in Prague this week - now I gotta find me a Czech greasy spoon. It'll be beer, not coffee.
Another crazy S.O.B. takes his hat off and goes, "Pilgrim, that sez it right there, yessiree." As fine a tribute to a friend as I've seen.
You know you're listening to a good song when you find yourself going "wow, that's about me!"
12-string and open-back banjo: LUV it!
You really know how to get to a guy who lives up at 59.6 degrees North latitude, don't you? Another winner!
