Wow! This is a really awesome version. I just love the whistle. Brings that mournful feeling right to the front. Gorgeous all around! You have a keeper here.

A little different angle than Champion Jack Dupree's take on seafood, but I'll always take blues, beer, and shrimp! Sounded like fun to perform and record.

Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

Yes, I like less reverb, but who am I to know. I thought you got a more natural sound on the other setting.
They're both good, and if there wasn't the request for comparison, the differences would have gone unnoticed.
well this is a bit awkward, but i have been chatting with Nosda Cariad about the various plus and minus of sound settings ie reverb,,, sometimes i feel like i have used too much, as sort of a crutch. in this version the reverb has been toned down…
rpm #7,, i think this will be the overture, to a small midi orchestral suite, which i hope will finish up as my remaining 3 pieces for this years rpm, but well see how that goes,, thanks for all the helpful comments i have received on this project…

The path has been wandered a million times then they have walked through the…
Gary and I did something good.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines in the background
In the corner of their eyes

Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster.

This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week.

That Rotten Rosie does a lot of damage> " She is not worth it Greg, What take out the trash? Ok Sweet Rosie ,Right away love"
Very nice lyrics and performance . cg .
You all sound great together!! you should name the band "Minnesota Coffee Table Crew" (MCTC) and take the show on the road...
Really a pretty song. Another fav for sure!!
Well done, to say the least.
Great song!

Unique and Fresh Sound. Well done!
Oh Yes, This hit the spot!
Wow . . . My feet are tapping. You hit the bullseye James! Nice, Nice, Nice, Song
I love the guitar. The video . . . Nice addition! Who is that Handsome fella playing the guitar? Well done Andrew! Great song!

The reverb setting is a success to my ears. Nice Cello and overall piece.
Well done! You recorded a great sound on your acoustic guitar, and the vocal harmony gives me goose bumps.
Breathtaking Good tension and resolution with captivating arrangement. Nice one Richard.
I like this. Great lyrics combined with simplicity.
This would make a great Stadium Rock Anthem.
Another good one. You have some great guitar licks here.
Refreshing . . . right between the soft and the hard.
Good combination of music and lyrics.
You have a nice groove going here. I like that bass.
Attitude +Plus FDR - You Got Style!
First Rate! Nice going guys. This is a great song.
I think your *"Back Up Band"* is holding you back. I found myself leaning in to hear that GREAT voice of yours.
Lots of tenacity here. Your lungs may be coughed up but the family jewels are still clanging together. Nice delivery !
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster. I can just picture those 4,000 souls floating out on the Gulf of Mexico.
Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.
