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.

Reg has lost Rita and its threw him so hard he fell of the wagon ....
Rita
I’m feel completly unknown
I don’t know myself no more
The vision of myself is confusing
I don’t know who I am any more
I’ve been shook…
I'm a madman roaring down this rain-slicked road
Top down, laughing, rain slaps like the hand of God
Left you barefoot, summer-haired, watching me go
Like a beautiful flower I should've picked
a long, long time ago
Pre-Chorus:
You were…
Here is a next song for my RPM challenge...(this is my 7th year and I'm off to a slow start...grrrr). I threw this one together kind of quickly and it sort of wrote itself- which is always fun. I kept it minimal and mostly used my Juno Synth…
Okay to laugh here, music is supposed to be fun, right? My attempt at writing a jug band style song. Yup, I used a dang kazoo:-/ And some whistling :-) Kind of sounds like a 'chicken' clucking away in this... hmmm. Maybe an ear worm just…
I got my shovel out too! God bless those who invented the snow blower too. Sounds like we all enjoyed a good snow day. Your song sure captures it perfectly. Time for a few days down south!
It’s nice having our original lead guitarist back for a visit….special thank-you to Keith for his work on Matt’s song.
Lyrics…..
Hey you, little man inside a choo-choo
You do it differently than I do.
Hey man, I hear you’re on a big-plan…
So ... While we were picking out names to call our little band to compete with the big boys next summer the name "Prison House Band" came up. After a few laughs it was voted down abruptly but it stirred something inside. Here is my first jail…
Hi gang.
The Proods are back....Brian at the helm this time.
Our methodology is thus....one of the 4 of us introduce a song, and then we'll bang out a finished track in under an hour with as few over-dubs as possible. This one we put some effort…
It was 3 degrees this morning and with a new/used dulcimer in the house, well, the only thing to do is write a song.

Been busy all week preparing for the winter weather and getting stuff ready for the horses and sheep to see them through winter. But with the torrential rain today i thought a guitar day was to be and this came out…
This song was a favorite of a dear friend we lost a year ago. It felt like a good song to practice the piano. This was the first try -- not that it was good, but it just kept getting worse.
The vocals sound distant because they are... the microphone…
Written for an upcoming Blues competition as one of several songs being considered for the contest. I sprung this on my friend Chris, without warning last night and pushed the record button.

OMG! Another total masterpiece. I love the chorus on this so much. Total earworm for the day. Good luck with the competition. You’ve got a real winner here.
Yes…we’re TRYING to do an AC~DC thing here.
The song was written by our lovable drummer Matt, but we all had fun working on it. (The Angus-style guitar lick was mine.)
As always, the song is introduced to the band, kicked around and recorded…

Baby, I'm Dead Inside- by The Proods (Joe Grennon)
I'll bet you thought that you could hurt me
Any time you'd blindly say, "I wish you would die"
Well I wasn't born yesterday
These aren't things that lover's say
I've tried so hard to…
A song about being home, not so much geographically but in a settled, grounded kinda way... Working with what is and letting go of the things that don't serve me anymore.
May it bring you peace as you listen.
I'm home...
I'm home...

So sorry for your loss!!! The lyrics of this song are so very sad
I agree with the Proods. Really lovely. Your voice is so full of emotion and is so perfect for these lyrics. Really pulls you in. Thanks
This is wonderful! It makes me feel like you are singing out over the edge of a big beautiful cliff over the ocean.
Great vocals here. Good to listen to more of your great tunes. And thanks for the kind words on my songs. I sure appreciate you taking time to listen!
For being angry, the light touch on the piano brought a bit of sunshine. That’s the best way to channel all that anger indeed!
Definitely an ear worm! Thanks for this little bit of sunshine!
Love your vocals! Deep and with that perfect rasp. Nice guitar too.
I got my shovel out too! God bless those who invented the snow blower too. Sounds like we all enjoyed a good snow day. Your song sure captures it perfectly. Time for a few days down south!
This one hits the spot!! A catchy one. Thanks Proods!!
Oops forgot to sign in. That last comment was me about the band. Great song Greg!!!! Whatever you’re drinking down in Savage I hope you’ll share!!!
Always love new music from the Proods! A good rockin dance tune! Very catchy chorus
P.s. that dulcimer is really pretty!!! Send pictures!!
You captured the moment perfectly. Under the covers is the best place to stay indeed! Love this!
Great one! And I bet the horses and sheep love hearing the music too. East wishes for winter coming. We are getting ready for it here too.
Love your vocals on this. So rich
OMG! Another total masterpiece. I love the chorus on this so much. Total earworm for the day. Good luck with the competition. You’ve got a real winner here.
