Fellow alone toner Gary Talbott kindly volunteered to add some of his own vocals and strings to this song, so I gladly took him up on it. Fun to keep evolving this one. Thanks Gary!

I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers.
Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.
I wrote this song earlier this week, and reached out to the wonderful Greg Connor and SL Krell here to help me with the lead, rhythm and bass guitars to give it a nice country love song feel. They killed it!!!!!! Thanks to them both for making…

I've been listening to these in the wrong order, haven't I? Love this version - only just spotted it - love the song anyway, but those slkrell licks (P90s again, Steve?) are to die for...
Nice collab guys :)

This one is dedicated to my dear friend John. Thanks for changing my life for the better....
Also a big thanks to our own Greg Connor who helped me get the chords for my own uke accompaniment, and who kindly played the beautiful guitars…
a true love song from a beautiful lady. this is a wonderful reflection from your beaming heart :) this song is a gift that we can enjoy forever. thank you
The local songwriters were in my living room earlier this week, and we had a great night. We recorded a live version of this song I posted earlier this month, and I thought you'd enjoy hearing Colin W, Greg C and Scott Z playing and singing too!

I'm just now, this morning, listening to this with nice speakers.
This is a *GREAT* Song, and I'm so impressed with the quality of the recording from that little Tascam recorder.
The blend of vocals, bass, rhythm and lead sounds balanced to me.
It feels like we accomplished something!

This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
Such a slinky cool vibe... And Embers!!!! Are there any of them left anymore? What a story.... did they share a plate of pancakes? Or was it a flame burger? Did he drive off on his Harley? Or was it a Ford Escort?
Antoinette plays keys, Anonymous plays drums, Evan is guitar left, Chris is guitar right (sorry I was a jerk and too loud) - This dates from 1977 when I was a classical major and Antoinette a piano major. Even though this improvisation was from…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
I wrote this one morning but gave up tryin to sing it . then I asked my buddy Steve Schostal to do vocals . His Canadian accent was perfect for this . Notice how he leads the beat ‘wow perfect.
I love Colabs
I was messing about and this came out. Thanks for listening
GET DOWN ON MY KNEES
I get down on my knees and I pray for a day
Where we can all go outside to run and play
Take my hand and tell what you see
can you see a future, for likes…
With a little help from Arthur & Elvis i had a bit of fun in the cellar and Regged up an old classic. Thanks for listening
My baby left me
she never said a word
My baby left me
she never said a word
You know she left me
she left…
Original song by my friend and music partner Randy Arneson.
Recorded in Garageband using a pickup plus condenser mic on a vintage Gibson 12 string (2 channels of guitar). I have a couple different versions of this one recorded...
Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)
Lyrics:
When the sun is up high, in a bright blue sky
And you're walking around in Dublin town
You got nothing…

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth
He thought…
Oh you gentlemen are just the best!!!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome --- so fun ---- I picture you all playing this in a dark noisy bar... and everyone digging it!!!
A song that sort of wrote itself, quite quickly, wouldn't say it's a happy song, but
sometimes you can't help what pops out.

Here it is in all of its glory...
THIS is the song that Mrs R and I had decided was a suitable response to a request to "Upload something HAPPY, stat!!!!!!!!!"
I tried to record it back in 2013 when I wrote it…
Wow! This one is sadness perfection. Your voice with its gravelly undertones - the perfect accompaniment to these lyrics. Mesmerizing.
And on a side note.... Moonlighting!!!! Ahhhhhh I loved that show. So. Much. Sexual. Tension..... and funny too. Loved it!
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well...
So, a few days later, I was rehearsing a pleasant little thing I wrote several years ago that has a working title of "She Was…

Magical additions! What wonderful synergy!
I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers. Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.
Gary or no...crazy good music.
... cool additions on this version.
I've been listening to these in the wrong order, haven't I? Love this version - only just spotted it - love the song anyway, but those slkrell licks (P90s again, Steve?) are to die for... Nice collab guys :)
Another outstanding collaboration Colleen great tune!!
Ditto to Greg's comments!
Another excellent version! Great song, and Gary really spiced it up!
a true love song from a beautiful lady. this is a wonderful reflection from your beaming heart :) this song is a gift that we can enjoy forever. thank you
That's a fine sound. And it's cool to hear some real people playing/singing together in a room. Nice song too.
Thank you :)
Sounds awesome, as Greg said, really balanced. Just a nice, slow relaxed tune with a nice vibe.

Relaxing, pleasant, nice song!
Excellent song!

Excellent live version of a great song. Sounds like you have been singing this song for years!

Somehow this is a perfect representation of how "noisy" our daily lives are, and how the cacophony seems almost normal.... Cool stuff here
Perfect!!
This is another of my all time favorites. You guys totally nailed it!!!! That's some magical broom closet...
One of my all time favorite songs.... I love to sing this one too!!!
Such a slinky cool vibe... And Embers!!!! Are there any of them left anymore? What a story.... did they share a plate of pancakes? Or was it a flame burger? Did he drive off on his Harley? Or was it a Ford Escort?
Wow!!! It totally does fit the narrative of Lafayette Square...
Ha Ha!!!! Truth be told, I could definitely be in better shape, so there were a few moments where I had to "catch my breath" indeed....
How fun is it for me to hear some of these earlier tracks!!! This is the best way to start a Friday I know....
Kim my is one lucky gal!
This is one beautiful song!!! You always tell such a wonderful story. Great vocals too! Enjoy the "out of doors!"
Your lyrics have captured it exactly!!!! What a crazy time we are in. Thanks for this one!
Oh that's the ticket indeed!!!!!
Great song Dave!!! You have a great voice.
YUM!!!!!! Now I'm thirsty!!!!
Snacks with a “special flavor” indeed!..... hilarious!!!
Love this playlist!!!!! It's keeping me company this morning with my tea!
Oh you gentlemen are just the best!!!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome --- so fun ---- I picture you all playing this in a dark noisy bar... and everyone digging it!!!
Not happy, indeed... but heartfelt. Life is way too short indeed. Love this one.
Wow! This one is sadness perfection. Your voice with its gravelly undertones - the perfect accompaniment to these lyrics. Mesmerizing. And on a side note.... Moonlighting!!!! Ahhhhhh I loved that show. So. Much. Sexual. Tension..... and funny too. Loved it!
Going to have this one locked in my head for a very long time...... thanks! (I think!!)
