Oh yeah. Nice song... makes me feel warm... hope you're keeping warm too. Trying to imagine 7 inches of snow... and in 3 months the Cricket season will have started here!! (Assuming the rain stops!)
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!
Great to hear a new song Greg!! Sounds really good, love the lyrics...we still have snow on the ground after the storm came 3 weeks ago. Just starting to warm up.
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…

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.

It's nice the way this old ghost-ship of a website comes alive any time you post a song....reminds me of the old days, when this place was a real nice musical community.
The song is another good one, too.

IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY
If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe
If it makes you happy I will tickle you
If it makes you happy I'm telling you true
If it makes you happy I'll be happy too
If it makes you happy I will wiggle my ears…
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.

It has been a salty year for me, performing with a great sea shanty group in Saint Petersburg. I've written a number of sea songs this year, and this one especially for the 2014 holiday season.
Sorry, to post just a clip here, but I've released…
OMIE WISE (traditional)
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omie_Wise ]
Oh, listen to my story, and I'll tell you no lies
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise
He told her to meet him at Adams's Springs
He would bring her some money…
i was watching the new BBC wildlife program the other night and it showed the plight of a young Whale and its mother and a bunch of sharks and i i'm basing this one on that........coming up from the bottom to the top........
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…
Here's the classic sea song you know. The sea shanty group I play with is planning to record it for a video production. Right now we sing it like 99.9% of all sea shanty groups on the planet: straight thru with all the voices in unison on the…

Oops, guess I wasn't logged in before. I must have used all brain cells recording the song. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this, and as you said, we've all been friends for a long time.
Remember Terry's radio station? It's been a lot of enjoyment.
I've been up to my neck in Equations and other wonderful stuff since i started to train as an Electrician that's why i haven't been about much....i've had my head in the books.......anyway by way of some relief from the learning i've written a…
DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning
I struggle for the shore
I'm swimming 'neath the surface
I'm sinking ever more
While Davy Jones is laughing
And Neptune scoffs at me
I'm swimming on with purpose
I'm frantic to be free

Our twisted, Psychedelic Folk version of RAIN by the Beatles. Starry Nightmoth performs on the Yamaha E-313 KB, using it's "bag-pipe" setting. This 4:20-long song is best heard on headphones, with the lava and black lamps running, incense burning…
Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell

Nice work, Greg! - Jim
It's hard.....for me not as often as it use to be. Still, a great song.
Leave it out Greg !!! What you on, knocking out all these great tunes .....
Good one! Reminds me of your Lily Pad Blues tune
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!!!

Outstanding music and vocals. Your production is great!
Love it!! I would come see the The Prison House Band
You keep coming up with songs. Keep them coming

*Smiling*. By the end of this.
I had to stop by for another taste of this.
*Oh* . . . . . . This is good! You hit the spot with this one.
Ahhhhhhhh . . . Now I'm in the Christmas Spirit!
Pretty Song!
Nice beat. Interesting texture to the song.
Ahhhhhhh . . . . I've missed you.
Just found this! What a treat!
Excellent! Well done to both of you! Great story.
Spaghetti Western? What's not to Love?
I can actually feel those sharks. Well done.
Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.
"Put him in the bed with the Captain's daughter" great visual imagery!
Original and it catches a person's attention

slkrell (172.248.226.134) said yesterday at 8:35am "Cool drums they sound boxy, Cigar?" Yes . . . Cigar Box Drums! What do you think?
Oh . . . . I like this.
A nice ethereal quality to this. Well done!
Black light and Lava lamps. Aahhhhh, the good old days
This might be my favorite *Steve Krell* song. Maybe Steve will record another version of *Saskatchewan* with his new Gibson J45.
