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

Ooohhh.... I remember you playing this one around the coffee table once before. I love this one so much! I'm guessing this one is on your CD! I've got to go download that right now...
Love it. I get a total sense of how great that hiking is without having to throw my back out of joint schlepping a heavy pack, soaking my aching feet, or providing culinary delights for the Minnesota State Bird!
Great to hear your new music here!!! I know that trail well and you've captured it perfectly here. I love the lyrics (as usual) - shout out to vibrate soles!!

And here is the first reply to In Your Hands.
I say "first" because I've found another one, When I Try To Be Me, that Mrs R says I have to do too... but that's unlikely to be the next one I post because I'm working…
The other night I was sitting out watching a little fire in my backyard, and thinking about how useless it is to let the past dictate our present and future. This one is dedicated to all of us with relationships in our history that have no place…
Wow! Beautiful song! Better send this one to Carl.
Just to set the record straight, Yes, I played guitar and bass on this, but Colleen mixed it after we had a brainstorming session on how to do it. Nice Mix Colleen!
Like beavers and willows
Bats and mosquitos
Toad frogs and flies
Like algae and oil spills
Miners and coal hills
Black holes and light

I was making the rounds, gaining ground on this cute little brunette
In a bar in Fort Worth, Texas, one night I'll never forget
But then that bartender ruined my plans…

I got a call from Russell
He had to move his Junk

When you're born in California
There are things you take for granted
The sunshine and the desert and
The forests, and the bears and the beaches

I wrote this song about my father and Dementia/Alzheimer's over a year and a half ago. We just finished the song and video, kind of surreal because Dad is in a nursing…
Poignant and well delivered message! Sorry to hear that your Dad is in a nursing facility now. There are a lot of us dealing with aging parents right now.
From what you have shared with me regarding his personality, he’s probably making friends and enjoying himself.

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

Huge rain thunder and lightning storm swept thru, and right behind
a bunch of frogs serenaded us ........ Bull frogs. ...are allright

I was messing about and this came out. Thanks for listening

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

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 really like the lyric sentiment.
I love it that you're doing mandolin. I want to do more with it myself but it is PAINFUL!! (Not to mention tuned in blasted 5THS!!

Beautiful. "Just a couple flakes of snow and you'll be on my mind."
This is a real feel good song to me...perfect for a quiet morning and my coffee!! guitar sounds great
Like it!
Great bluesy song Greg. The rhythm carries you along the trail as if you're really there. Super!
Love it. I get a total sense of how great that hiking is without having to throw my back out of joint schlepping a heavy pack, soaking my aching feet, or providing culinary delights for the Minnesota State Bird!
Out dah dah outstanding Me gabrellas were dancing to this one
Very Nice Lyrics especially if you are a hiker on that trail.
Great to hear your new music here!!! I know that trail well and you've captured it perfectly here. I love the lyrics (as usual) - shout out to vibrate soles!!

Beautiful.
Nice guitar playing! You got the touch Andrew!
Wow! Beautiful song! Better send this one to Carl. Just to set the record straight, Yes, I played guitar and bass on this, but Colleen mixed it after we had a brainstorming session on how to do it. Nice Mix Colleen!
Lovely, well played.
Short and sweet! An impression of a thought to be completed by the listener, maybe.
I love the ending. Everyone’s a winner.
Another keeper. I love the guitar playing. It’s one positive thing that has come out of this mess that everyone is in. Some great music is surfacing.
I’m laughing early this morning. James ...... you can write a song about anything.
Great memories. You really paint a picture.
My feet are tapping!
Rita and I both enjoyed the video. We especially liked “the good wife” singing back up. I have to say the ending really got our attention.
My feet are tapping in sultry Minnesota this morning. Thanks for taking my mind off the heat for a few minutes!
Poignant and well delivered message! Sorry to hear that your Dad is in a nursing facility now. There are a lot of us dealing with aging parents right now. From what you have shared with me regarding his personality, he’s probably making friends and enjoying himself.
Wonderful medley of tones weaving in and out. Love it! That slide is captivating.
Love the slide and the topic!
Oh yeah . . . . You are on a streak. Another good one.
Wow is the word! Impressive.
Rainy days are good for naps but they can certainly mess with your head. Good song Roger! I like the ending, “Don’t let me down”
Outstanding song and message!
Rita and I are giggling this morning. You guys are a lot of fun to hang around with.
