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.

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.

A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.

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…

I was just thinking this while out walking the dog!! Great tune :) Love the banjo....nice mix.
Good one Greg, yeah fed up with winter, not cold, cold here, just Wet,Wet,Wet. ( they were rubbish as well, ha ha )
The UK stops on 2 inches of snow good luck with the next 3 months were hoping not to drown in all this rain
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!
Sounding good!

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!!!
This is now an all time favorite!!!! I’d see that band too!!! What did the name name end up as??
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

This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Back for another listen. This goes well with coffee this morning. I feel like it's the sunrise singing to me.
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Another GREAT video!
Now I'm watching the video. It's nice to know creative people!
I Just found this now! What a riot. I love the interplay between banjo and guitar. You are my FAVORITE musician in Russia.
Yes ... That Jazzmaster is sounding good.
As Ron Rouch would say "Good GAWD" That's funny!
Delightful. Finally . . . Something to contemplate
George Orwell tried to warn us. Now . . . here we are. Nice way to put it into a song.
Beautiful voice and accompanyment -.. . KA0YCO
One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!
I stopped by for another listen. It's facinating.
A rich and full sound. Beautiful
You have a nice clean approach to recording. It's enjoyable to listen to. Good song!
I like that banjo. A nice *"Feel Good"* song.
Way to bark it out! I Love Love Love it. Great lyrics, Great lead guitar. You really drove it home!
You gotta love RPM. That's when the creativity shows itself. Nice one!
That is really a cool sound.
Very interesting. I'm glad you explained the concept. Third listen . . . Pretty neat idea.
