"Better with each glass of wine..." yeah yeah yeah! :-D
But I have to admit... I thought I was bein' attacked by a swarm of Queen (as in Freddy Mercury) bees before I got the point about kazoo. Yeek!
Greg... you know, if u don't C# you'll Bb. Words to live by.
I gotta go.

@ Mark Imsdahl . . . .
I knew there was another verse to this song.
Just for everyone's information, Mark was with me last Friday when we went to meet Steve Krell at the airport.
Breakfast became quite entertaining. Ernest hit us with everything he had, and in the end became our friend . . . well . . . maybe not Steve's friend.

Me oh my! Singin' dem ol' low down Mississippi breakfast blues down on da Delta! Slippin' slide guitar... and loved the blues harp just passin' thru!
BTW- I've been to the Russian version of Ernest's Cafe. Several of 'em, in fact.
Where did this song come from?
Let's blame Steve Krell for introducing the outlaw, misfits of society theme.
It was just a laps of judgment
I should have thought it through
I swung and then I hit him
And I did it all for you
He…

I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
One of those progressions I can't get finished enough to call a complete song.In A.BTW if you load this to Audacity and seperate the stereo tracks,you can mute or delete the right hand track and add your own.
Ok, now this really is a tongue in cheek song. But, is it just me, or... are all politicians just a waste of space or just Rich & Sad. With no Life !!!
My contribution to this year's RPM Kitchen Challenge.
Very silly.

The decending line is about the coolest musical concept. Ear candy,and it can be Major or minor scale.Love my effects,but there's no substitution for plain old technique.
Well played John! You are right, it tickles my fancy!
Does the decending (Or downward spiral) have anything to do with the Republicans heading toward Florida next week?
Sorry . . . I couldn't help but ask.
I posted this song a few days ago and Bethan liked the music so much she wrote her own words. Here it is, a co-write across the Atlantic.
SITTING BY THE WINDOW, NOTHING TO DO
WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
THE SUN SHINES…
Yes, I like this too!
It's good solid music, with interesting lyrics. In fact, here is what I left on Bethan's site:
LOVE IT!
I was hooked when I heard:
"not much fun when your gum's all gone"
That pretty much sums it up!
I met this Indian one night in Albuquerque.
I think he put something in my coffee.

Another version of this. Door-to-door-to-door . . .
LYRICS:
Always heading in one direction
never knowing where the next connection
is or where it is that I am going next
Should I take a right or take a left?
There's a detour that I…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
I stopped back for a second listen. It's even better this time.
You have a lot going on in the song, and it's all going in the same direction.
You really know how to build a song!

Very different from what I'm used to, and very enjoyable!
Nice effective harmony, and such a pretty song.
Way to go Igor. You brought a little class to this joint!
I just stumbled across this today! E X C E L E N T
Sparse & Beautiful
I like the harmonica! Good Lyrics, especially when you get "kissed on the mouth by a wave". Now that is imagery I'm in the mood for traveling too.
Boy ... This is GOOD!
Excellent song to play while getting ready for work this Monday morning!
Nice playing, it really sets the mood.
Perfect timing for this song! We've been watching the Republican debates all with. It's called GOOD ENTERTAINMENT!
This fits right in with the Northern Lights this week! Fill Er Up Roger!
Neat sounds.
Nice original song Keith! Great lyrics. I like the tapping on the bottle too.
Well played John! You are right, it tickles my fancy! Does the decending (Or downward spiral) have anything to do with the Republicans heading toward Florida next week? Sorry . . . I couldn't help but ask.
Way to get your Yah Yahs off. My feet are tapping in snowy Minnesota.
Yes, I like this too! It's good solid music, with interesting lyrics. In fact, here is what I left on Bethan's site: LOVE IT! I was hooked when I heard: "not much fun when your gum's all gone" That pretty much sums it up!
Oh Yes ...... Great way to start the day! The blood is pumping now!
Roger, You certainly know how to get a groove on!
Great imagery! I can just picture the little varmint running for it's life.
