Listening on headphones. For such a short production, you took the mixing and mastering seriously. I really respect and appreciate that. It's short, but it's fun, and particularly so when ya can enjoy the full stereo effect that can only be had with a headphone listen. Wow -- my comment is longer than your recording!
haha…. you're entry is a bit like the guy down the street from me who has neighbors on either side with crazy elaborate outdoor Christmas displays, and hangs a simple sign reading I like it,, but I like the elaborate ones better.
I had another version of this Stan Rogers tune up here before. But I recently decided to invest in some nice plugins for my recording setup (IZotope). I used this tune as a learning project and it came out so much better than what I had before…
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!

It has been a salty year for me, performing with a great sea shanty group in Saint Petersburg. I've written a number of sea songs this year, and this one especially for the 2014 holiday season.
Sorry, to post just a clip here, but I've released…

Here's the classic sea song you know. The sea shanty group I play with is planning to record it for a video production. Right now we sing it like 99.9% of all sea shanty groups on the planet: straight thru with all the voices in unison on the…

I had never heard all of the words to this song till now. I hear the music daily because my son watches Sponge Bob. Thanks for sharing it. Perfect professional track!

I have always been very fond of this song, and have enjoyed over a hundred versions in my 54 years on planet Earth. This one sails very near the top of the best versions of this most definitive sea shanty that I've heard.

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 by James Michael Taylor
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…

Beautiful song! I love the video. I got a kick out of your comment regarding banjo and accordion.
Great Robert, I really like this series
Love it! Where's the rum?

Bwahaha! Love it. Cool drums. The banjo at the end seals it. Thank you! Keep it real and to the point!
Love it! Short,sweet and to the point!!
Great!
Ha ha yup that's one way to approach it ,, dont
Robert . . . Robert . . . . is this fun or what? The Banjo really brought it over the top!
Yar! Great song. I want to put on a three cornered hat with a feather in it a drink way too much rum.
Rock on! :D
I had to stop by for another taste of this.
Ahhhhhhhh . . . Now I'm in the Christmas Spirit!
A shant seadys.
Nice one really cool
I had never heard all of the words to this song till now. I hear the music daily because my son watches Sponge Bob. Thanks for sharing it. Perfect professional track!
"Put him in the bed with the Captain's daughter" great visual imagery!
I d like to hear 1 chorus instrumental with the whistle forward and leading, Just my humble take. Love these tunes

'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.
