Yeah, I know, it's early. But the Banjo Hangout is having a contest for banjo renditions of this tune, and I decided to toss my hat in the ring, so to speak. Might win the 6-string banjo first prize, which I can't imagine having any use for, or…

And now for something completely different...
Well, friends, I think I may have over-banjo'd myself the past 3 years. It's not abandoned totally or permanently, but since the weather turned I've been feeling the need to turn to something else…

Uploaded a tweaked mix that I think is cleaner. Discovered settings on the piano VI, and like usual, there was too much reverb. Seriously cut it back, and added a but of HiPass filter on the track. Moved things around a bit and now the tenor sax is more up front where it should be.

Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
I keep hearing songs about meteor- or star-gazing after going out to view the Perseids on two recent nights. Hmmm. This song captures the experience perfectly in a decidedly folksy manner; unfortunately, real life had far less of the Venus action going on.

My "banjo-centric" arrangement of this old minstrel show tune. I recorded it for backing tracks for my live set. I kind of wanted a fiddle solo, but I don't play fiddle. So in the middle there's a little "fiddle synthesizer" - just a couple of…

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.
Warning: the chorus can…

slkrell - that's my bodhrán synthesizer, lol. A high-tom played gingerly. A real bodhrán would be lower pitch, but the lower toms come out too muddy. Enough Jameson and and nobody should care.

I was going through my song ideas folder and stumbled across this lyric that I wrote ages ago... so long ago I have no clue what inspired it. Certainly long before I ever thought up my "Banjo-centric" schtick. But this is a tune that needs a banjo…
Well here's my contribution to the Pirate challenge from Robert Palomo. I think you'll agree it was time to call it a night on this one, but it was a lot of fun writing and recording it! Hope it gives you a chuckle or two.
Why Do Parrots…
"Smells like cabbage" - too funny!! This is great pirate song! The uke evokes a tropical island that has been visited by pirates.
And ye've learned well yer pirate speak, briny wench... arrr!

Only a true Minnesotan could write a pirate song like that LOL! Shiver me timers but I like it. Open tuning, flutes... awesome arrangement. Fav fav fav.
Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…
Reminds me of my trip a couple of years ago starting in Las Cruces and ending up in the old ghost town of Pinos Altos, not far from Silver City. If you ever get the chance, go there!
Reminds me of the drunk brought into night court:
Judge: "Well, what brings you here this time?"
Drunk: "Two -hic- p'licemen!"
Judge: "Drunk as usual, I see."
Drunk: "Yep. Both of 'em."
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.

Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
That one is getting added to my collection of late night highway cruising tunes. Wish I'd had it when I used to drive all night between gigs in your general neck of the woods. Don't have that much use for the collection these days, but ya never know.
Here's a clip from a new folk single I just released. You can hear the whole song in the video below, or on the song page on my website.
This features 2 instruments people love to hate: banjo and accordion (in this case, melodeon). But both…
This song pretty much sums up my life right now. No direction and no ambition.
Maybe because it's SpringTime and Love is in the air.
In keeping with the romantic nature of the season, it features:
BANJO . . . . . The instrument made…
.
Full moon, full of mystery
Full moon, shadows thru the trees
I can feel your spell, I’m beggin at you please
So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view
I can feel that dark side, all because of you
Way down…
Singin' the blues! I think the first 2 lines are the same as "Blue Night", but then it goes off into it's own realm. There's nothing like a reso for the blues. One of these days I should pick up a decent one. BTW - resophonic/dobro with slide is getting really popular here. There was just a big festival going on down in Moscow recently.
Got dat ole Memphis honky tonk smell to it, yessiree Bob. Nice mix, and the tune, well, you just gotta smile. Love the stand-up bass sound. If that's midi it's real good.

Justin Otter Guy - yeah, banjo came much later in the mix. I'm proverbial "jack of many, master of none" when it comes to instruments. I make it a point to play everything on my tracks myself... for better or worse! ;-)
Comments on Robert Palomo's stuff
This sounds really great! Very nice recording. Good luck on second place, but this might be too good!
nice
Beautiful. Nice mixture of jazzy and traditional folk.
Truly wonderful rendition
Fabulous.
Uploaded a tweaked mix that I think is cleaner. Discovered settings on the piano VI, and like usual, there was too much reverb. Seriously cut it back, and added a but of HiPass filter on the track. Moved things around a bit and now the tenor sax is more up front where it should be.
It's a winner Robert . . . My feet are tapping! You are a man of many talents.
Slick, Robert
you're pretty good at "stumbling"!

Absolutely wonderful! w;-)
Nice Robert, My favorite Author Greg Connor can write a tune Hay?
That is just sweet. What a feel good and warm sound. Great song.
I think I wrote this during the Perseid a few years ago. We sat out in the yard in the lawn chairs at 3:00 AM. Nice version my friend !!!
Great Song // Great Mix
Remixed, mastered. Swing yer partner!
The remix really sounds good..
slkrell - that's my bodhrán synthesizer, lol. A high-tom played gingerly. A real bodhrán would be lower pitch, but the lower toms come out too muddy. Enough Jameson and and nobody should care.
Love the drum thump
Remixed and mastered w/ Ozone 5 (rank newbie mode). FWIW.

Nice tune. Nice production work. Like that clean guitar tone.
Every now and again I just have to come back for a dose of Rosie. She just makes me smile.
"You're the bubble in my brew" - love it!!
Yeeeeehaw!

Andres Russe: Rum is indeed an important ingredient. It's the main ingredient of this one: http://www.robertpalomo.com/port_royal_rum :-)
What would you do with it if you DID catch it? :-D
That's after bein' right a loovly tune, me boyo.

That's the way to propose!
Hey Greg... taking a winter vacation this year and will be going to Las Cruces!!! Can I buy Rosie a beer? :-D :-D http://www.innofthearts.com/

Visceral acoustic. I like it!
