Dusted off (so to speak) a bluegrass style oldie (meaning I wrote years and years ago) about the ending of a long drought... dedicated to all my friends, known and unknown, in Colorado and other dry spots that are burnin' up right now.

A NON Banjo-centric song that pokes a bit of fun at the zaniness of the 1980s.
This is the G-rated version. There is a PG-13 version with one additional verse which contains some unvarnished language. You can get that version on my site…
Cracking good song , fun and yet when you read the last verse poignant and true.....how did they crowbar the banjo out your hands ....oh with a crowbar....'kay...
Cheers

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.

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…
Greqateroony...this is one of the songs on an old album I had called This is Bluegrass back inthe seventies....one of my favourites and this is an excellent version....those Russians obviously have great taste and appreciation.

My arrangement of an American traditional tune with tons of variations on title, lyrics and tune. I went for a little delta feel with some light slide on the guitar, and harmonica along with the banjo... definitely strange but I think it works.

I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.

While wiring up a new FX processor in my studio I was messing around with this classic traditional sea shanty. Probably because at this time last week I was playing at the Harwich (UK) International Sea Shanty Festival. Anyway, while messing around…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

Something new here. Tilden Barger offered to arrange and produce this song. Tell me what you think.

Here is the latest Coffee Table Recording. We gave ourselves 2 1/2 hours to pick a topic, write the song, and record it. It was GREAT FUN!
I left the pre bantar in just so you could get a feel of the "mood of the room".

I'm having a déjá vu moment here. Is it possible I've heard a different version of a tune sometime? Or am I just suffering from campaign 2016 mind rot?
Comments on Robert Palomo's stuff
That's some wonderful playing!
Cracking good song , fun and yet when you read the last verse poignant and true.....how did they crowbar the banjo out your hands ....oh with a crowbar....'kay... Cheers Jarvo
Good entertainment this morning! Well played my friend, and the lyrics are hilarious. I like your trailer too.
Here's a rip snorter.!
I remember your song but I think this is smoother, the rough edges removed. I would say it's a lot better now. I do like your Irish accent too.
Nicely done
@GregConnor - been re-recorded from scratch & 'tis needed remix. Will miss St. Paddy's this year :-(
A lot of fun. Great vocals and very pretty whistle.
Love this ...first heard this song or a versionj of it back in '76 on SteelEye Span's Commoners Crowm album....the late great Peter Sellers did a spot with them and supplied a ukulele part...this different but the same ....superb......
Ahhhhhh . . . St Patrick's Day. My favorite religious holiday. Where is that song you wrote a few years ago?
Greqateroony...this is one of the songs on an old album I had called This is Bluegrass back inthe seventies....one of my favourites and this is an excellent version....those Russians obviously have great taste and appreciation.
Now . . . my feet are tapping! Nice Picking Robert!

Ahhh crap - now my beer is all salty!!
Ha! Another one discovers that you can use banjo AND squeezebox and get away with it!!
Bloody birds! They do it every time.
Big clean transparent sound. Wish I knew how you do it. (Good blues tune too!)
Congrats on being able to retire. I probably never will. You got much more than stories left, sir. You got songs!
Nice use of 12-string acoustic.
Those acoustic guitars sound super.
@valsvil - Just me. No, I lied. There was also a bottle of rum involved.
Really nice production! You've obviously been to that joint a few times. Now what about a tune "Minnesota Mosquitos"?
Who the heck are you? Never saw the man before in my life, officer!
Uhm, right. That explains why James Taylor was such a flop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUFwk1Ibwkc
I love it that you're doing mandolin. I want to do more with it myself but it is PAINFUL!! (Not to mention tuned in blasted 5THS!!
Love it. I get a total sense of how great that hiking is without having to throw my back out of joint schlepping a heavy pack, soaking my aching feet, or providing culinary delights for the Minnesota State Bird!
Another CLASSIC!!!!!
That's a fine soundin' mule you got there.
Been there. Nicely done. Had to replay this one.
Purty!
Dang... I just went thru a 3 hour session yesterday with a new trio and all we drank was tea. The 2 other guys ARE Brits... but still. Wine next time!

Reminds me of the night I was drunk and adrift in a longboat.
