Andrew, Thank you for keeping up with me lately. I just spent three hours coming up with that one minute. It took me that long to think of something to say. Thanks for commenting. 82 degrees in Cowtown and time to take the puppies for a walk. Thanks again for listening and commenting.

Wow..... just wow. Between the shoebox and the broom closet there is a magic Songwriting genius machine. This one choked me up. So so sad and so well done.
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.

You is the most important word in songs. I learned that from a poet named Shannon Elizabeth on Facebook. Thank you for telling me more. Once we've captured a story in a song some of the confusion from the time is illuminated. We don't ave to cling to is, so as not to lose the memories.

You're currently writing amazing songs that make my heart hurt a bit. If that didn't happen, I'd like them even more. That's the trouble with fantastic songwriters.
This is a piece inspired by J.D. Salinger's short story.
My friend Stasya's doing the vocal parts.

Thought I'd have a go at a soul number. FDR did some lead but the song was left all alone on my comp until today when I landed on it's lyrics while driving home. Thought I'd have a plumb at auditioning for the 3rd Reg, lol.

All Alone
I turn your knob

I palm your panties

I turn the lights off

I feel your fears

Aww, this is mighty fine.
You're tempting me away from the multi-track things I'm stuck on at the moment... mebbe I should try some 1 guitar 1 voice stuff again.

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Nice guitar playing! You got the touch Andrew!
Great work! I can hear the Tull influence but also reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot... If you remember him?!
Wow... your vocals on this are just perfect. I hear that Jethro Tull influence there. Really pretty guitar playing.
Great stuff the lyrics moved me and I take pride In being a stoic The picking style is driving in an old timey way This is really fine good work , Andrew

This song just reeks with sadness. Completely different voice from Edith. The starkness really works in the one.
Andrew, Thank you for keeping up with me lately. I just spent three hours coming up with that one minute. It took me that long to think of something to say. Thanks for commenting. 82 degrees in Cowtown and time to take the puppies for a walk. Thanks again for listening and commenting.
Another keeper. I love the guitar playing. It’s one positive thing that has come out of this mess that everyone is in. Some great music is surfacing.
Deep thoughts about being responsible. Great fguitar finger picking.
Thanks so much for the background notes. You are so right.... now I love it even more. And it sounds like you are an amazing friend as well... but no surprise there!!!! Hugs to you !!
This is a great composition and the production top notch! Excellent work!

It was definitely worth perservering with - love the melancholic vibe
Great songwriting here. Reminds me of Verve Pipe, very good.

Like it.
I can't play a 4 minute solo FORWARDS and make it sound coherent, let alone backwards!! You seem to have managed it :)
Do more vocals!
Good, extremely good :)
Oh yes... a masterpiece!
Enjoyed it :)
Cool version
Ha ha! Excellent guys
Oh yes, both rock AND roll.
This kinda crept up on me while I was listening to it in the background. Nice one.
Remix? Sounds even better than 1st listen the other day...

Lovin this EP Superb stuff.

Crumbs, I'm gonna have to listen to more of your stuff. I love how you fling tortured guitars at it and it just works.
Wooo! This works - like it. Some tasty guitar playing.
Yep. This is the business.
Oh my goodness! YES!
Oh yes. Very tasty.
Love it!
