wow! it's all so good, your story line "lyrics" are quite poetic, and your play is great and fits the mood/tone of the piece so perfect ,, i must ask if the tune or the words came first, or sort of both together? in any case this first first rate!! happy new year r
What good song! Your guitar/banjo interplay is great, as always, and your lyrics flow with ease. (Note to listeners ... don't rely on your computer/laptop speakers or you won't get the most out of the oh-so-smooth bass line. Use decent speakers or headphones.)
Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
This is one of three songs inspired by the book THE HEALING OF FAMILIES by Fr. Yosefu - B. Ssemakula.

One is love, the other, hate
One will bless, the other, curse

Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!
My "banjo-centric" arrangement of this old minstrel show tune. I recorded it for backing tracks for my live set. I kind of wanted a fiddle solo, but I don't play fiddle. So in the middle there's a little "fiddle synthesizer" - just a couple of…
At last... I've managed to finish something.
This was written months ago. I was about to try recording it with one or two others when this year's decorating started. With various buggered fingers, back muscles, etc, etc, I wasn't actually able…
Great chord changes and build ups. Well done Andrew!

This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day.
Warning: the chorus can…
Writing this song was a very cathartic experience. This gamut of emotions took place in just one week - last week.
Unfortunately, I couldn't sing the first word without it sounding ridiculous, and so I decided to get back to my Northern roots…
Right from today's headlines....a shameful tune I just had to write.

Well played and sung Greg. Wonderful balance between the instruments.
Oh, yes Iam surely at home on the skinny branches.. that's why guitars come with cases. Faved, Yes the Bose speakers do the Tune justice

You can really get some great tone on the guitar to go with those nice licks! That first beer went down fast. It's a *"two beer"* song for me.
Good *Old Fashioned* Folk Song
Lots of trouble . . . but still happy! That's the way to do it!
Ron . . . You got me laughing out loud !!!
Thanks Terry. I corrected my mistake.
I just got back from vacation and what do you know . . . more great music from *FDR*. It's a *GOOD LIFE*
I think I wrote this during the Perseid a few years ago. We sat out in the yard in the lawn chairs at 3:00 AM. Nice version my friend !!!
Fantastic tone on the guitar!
Good song with well written lyrics.
Thank the Lord for medicinal use alcohol. Take as directed by your conscience, and call me in the morning. You got a great sense of humor!
Big Sound with lots of interesting parts
I just found this today. What a treat! I like that driving beat, and the whine of the harmonica. Excellent Roger!
Powerful You have some great sounding guitar licks here.
Great Song // Great Mix
Still the best version of this song that I have heard. I was at a jam last night where someone played this song. . . *Great Song*
Great chord changes and build ups. Well done Andrew! ________________________________________ I had to go look up the word *"Dirge"*. I like hanging out with people who are smarter than me.

Beautiful I like how the Bass anchors the music and holds it all together.
