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.

What a pretty melody to bring the lyrics to life. Like we are walking down the path in the song. Lovely mandolin. Is that you on all the parts? Pretty cool

The Sun is shining tru the hole in my heart. I am lucky to be old and grey.
Don't ask a song writer to critique anything,
they may not have found a day job yet!!!!
Great writing I like it
Pretty mandolin. This is another one of my favorites of yours. I bet there are a few in that group might even tell Eric Clapton that his chords need to be simpler...this is lovely
I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....
Steve (SLKrell) and I have been competing over the same *"IMAGINARY"* girlfriend for years now.
And Yep . . . Steve started it. Well she's mine now, at least until Steve writes the next song. Look for Steve's music here:

Watch for Steve's attempt at getting her back!

Psychedelic Folk. Ever meet that special someone in a laundromat? Ever do it on top the dryer? Either way, you’re sure to dig this clean groove. Compilation by Stephen L. Krell and Gene Eric Mann.
Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!
This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
You guys are on fire! Each of you has the thing to compliment the other.
Colleen, I was thinking of you over the weekend. Thinking about how far you have come musically since I met you last summer.
These last few songs have stopped me in my tracks. Very impressive!
Just a little something I've been tinkering with. Lyrics and Music from yours truly, Nick P
Am I fool to love you
Am I fool to love you
I'd drive 300 miles just to see your smile
Here I am, but you want that other man
Am I fool to love…
It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…

They won't just sit around waiting for you to come up with something interesting to do
Girls aren't like guitars.
If you're having problems maybe it's because

A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…

Bullseye!
An excellent example of the power of collaboration being greater than the sum of it's parts.
I love the simplicity, and that emotional tug.
This one really caught my attention, well done guys!
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Another masterpiece!!!! Can’t wait to hear Tom’s. This one would be pretty tough to beat.
I haven't been on AT for awhile, but it's nice when I do come back that you're still making great music. Beautiful song, Greg!
Yes...amazing, again
Great lyrics, great playing and singing...what more could we ask for!!
You are a philosopher
What a pretty melody to bring the lyrics to life. Like we are walking down the path in the song. Lovely mandolin. Is that you on all the parts? Pretty cool
Always so cheery...
Well ripple is fine but Boon county dime for dime makes a better time. Daddy got into Boon county again drunk on Ripple wine!
Awesome song guys!!! Reilly and I just listened and she loved it too. Sad I missed the coffee table session. See you soon. Colleen
Fun song ...reminds me of the 70's... ripple, T bird and colt 45....breakfast of champions!!! you guys rock
Maybe some time I drop in for a few songs. Last time I did the Ripple thing I woke up later pissing out the window.
Always a day brightener to hear one of your songs Greg! Thanks for posting!
Sweeter than sweet. Congrats on this awesome work of art!!! I am guessing who that pretty quilter is on the cover art :-)
Amazing collection....outstanding singing and playing......and your dancing is really improving!!!! love the album cover btw

Good harmony! The piano and shaker is a nice touch. Well Done!
Oh . . . I'm hungry for the *GOOD STUFF* now!

I woke up thinking about this song. I had to come and take another listen. It's the only *WASHING MACHINE* song I know of.
YOU ARE GETTING YOUR GROOVE ON. I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SENIOR CITIZENS.
*I'm reaching for my harmonica to play along! Yep, key of E I'm forwarding this over to a friend. We'll be tooting along in Minnesota*
Oh, that's sweet! I love it!
Great song with wonderful imagery.
Over the top! The only way to start the day!
Kicking Ass again this morning!

I like this one Nick!
Walking on the edge again I see! A little envy here . . . I'm only a spectator now.
You can really get some nice tone out of your guitar!
My feet are tapping! Nice tone on that guitar, and interesting message.
You got me laughing this morning!
Nice imagery / Story telling.
Ah the early 80's . . . .

Oh this is good. The banjo effect was a pleasant surprise and the harmonica was the perfect accent. Bethan, as always you brought it home!
