You commented on my song I KEEP MY RADIO ON. You also added, "I once had someone call me selling a security system. I told them “I don’t need it.” They will only come in here once." Did you write that song?

Well ... there is nothing better than turning criticism into music. That's some beautiful piano playing.

A grumly guest I'm sure…

I like the way this bounces. Now that Norm has mentioned waffles, I'm getting hungry listening to this.
I certainly can relate to this one!
Very Philosophical You can learn something from everyone. I like your musical style.
I can really feel the grit in this one John! Nice song, short and sweet.
I like that: "Don't Save Your Kisses" Good advice
I think you have touched the melancholy side of things here. Very pretty.
That is some beautiful guitar playing.
Oh yes ... this hit the spot .... and just like Bethan, it's sweet with just the right amount of grit.
You gotta love a 19 second song. It's Right to the point.
Great Lyrics and Great Sound. This one is a lot of fun!
Great driving beat.
I like the chord change and upshift in the song. Good song.
Very pretty
That's some fancy picking Robert
Now that is a "Kick Ass" Lullaby!
You gotta love it.
This is so beautiful
I love that Mandolin!
This is absolutely beautiful.
