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.

Something of Neil Young for sure, some essence of David Crosby. And that refrain does sound spookily like you got Graham Nash in the studio with you. Nice.
Today I got an email about a lyric contest and the title had to be I WONDER...so I wrote this!

I wonder, I wonder out loud
Why I wander under a cloud
A cloud with it's rain
It's lightning and pain…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

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!

I'm smiling and laughing all the way through! You certainly know how to capture the moment.
..great band, joe..

Wahoo!
Great work as always!

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.

'Bout 2nd verse I had to go get me a beer to cry in LOL But this wasn't wasting time!
Sweet!
Your voice is so soothing on this. Nice bit of de-stress therapy.
Dang you, Greg. Now I have a strong desire to stuff that cheap shrieking plywood reso of mine in the woodstove and get one that sounds like this!
Yep.
Nice mellow guitar. Some wistful Irish in there methinks?
Something of Neil Young for sure, some essence of David Crosby. And that refrain does sound spookily like you got Graham Nash in the studio with you. Nice.
Some classy changes in this, and a really nice lyric.
My mom was an avid bird watcher. The clip of the cardinal finch reminded me of her... it was her favorite of favorite birds.
I'm trying to find the words to say why I liked this. The best I can come up with: "it's real".
Nice "new-age"-ish piece, with echos of Chopin. Nothing yet invnted surpasses a nice grand piano.
Mitch Ryder got nothin' on you, my man! You sure you not from Motor City?
I'm enjoying discovering your non-banjo stuff. Production is getting really good. Clean, nice sound image... something that still eludes me.
