This one is still a bit rough, but I wanted to share and see if anyone has an interest in adding some guitars, bass, other vocal parts for fun. I left the chords in the lyrics below, in case you wanted to collaborate. I hope you enjoy it…

One after another . . . Strong lyrics and a great melody. Excellent!
I see you decided to put Laural & Hardy's version out of its mystery. Good choice. We were making it much more complicated than it needed to be.

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...

Too many rainy days lately, so what is a boy to do? Write a song!

First song I'm posting for RPM 2025. Not sure I'll finish this year....but I'll try.

Love this one too! I hear a big production anthem style someday. An arena full of people singing this at the top of their lungs! Fantastic! What a fun morning for me to listen to so much of your great music!

Wow! This one really hits a deep emotional chord. Your writing is superb as usual, but this spare arrangement just feels like raw emotion. An instant fav!!!

I started this one first but got stuck in the surrealism of the opening line (it was "He" originally). I really didn't want to give the suntan…
Excitement is one of ten songs on my new album "Treasures". The album covers a list of 10 words describing different characteristics of ENJOYMENT. The words are:
Love, Joy, Happiness, Relief, Contentment, Amusement, Pride, Excitement, Satisfaction…
Oh Greg! What a cool concept for your album. I love the swingy vibe of this one. Great lyrics and now it’ll be my ear worm for the day. Thanks!!!! Can’t wait to check out the whole album.

I am on this wagon as well! Well written, well played, and beautifully sung. Older is good! Nice to hear your awesome voice again. Hope you and yours are well.
I wrote this song 5 years ago and have recorded a new version of it every year since (I think). This version features a Baritone 8 String guitar and Mandolin.
My lyrics turned into a song by Amigos Imaginarios, my ai band.
Echoes Of A Past:

Poor old Reg more bad news, it never rains but it pours......

Your voice is getting better and better Colleen I love this one a lot really good lyrics
I would love to add a few twiddles on this great song but I don't have the luxury of spare time at the minute. Stands up very nicely on it's own.
Rough Raw Great
