Greg, Gene Eric Mann / Justin Otter Guy / Merry Bear here to tell you, you have the magic. You just don't know how to write a bad song. This one's another gem -- sweet.

Recorded Last Friday - I sprung this song on Mark Imsdahl while we were playing music together.
I thought he did pretty good for never hearing the song before.

I love my mini van, lot's of room. I could try to make it sound cooler by saying I'm using it to lug my gear gig to gig but mostly it just gets the family where they are going. Cheers!

It’s a keeper! You are making lemonade out of lemons. My friend Roger Harris (oldfolks2) from Portsmouth sent me a video of the Eunice destruction. Your song captures the essence.
Well...This is song #10 for my 2022 RPM challenge- the final track for my "album". It's a bit like two songs that found each other somehow. That makes for a very long track! eek. Thank you to everyone who has been listening to my songs...it…
It’s been a fun February listening to both you and Andrew Russe achieve your goals. You have ended up with 10 songs, well crafted and recorded in a way that makes them interesting.
Well done!

The calluses from all this bass playing are coming along nicely! This is another RPM song (song 6) where I built the song from a little bass riff. The lyrics include some quotes and/or references - pick them out and win a prize (ha ha…
My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…
Sultry ... Another excellent song, especially considering that you are writing and recording 1 every 2 days. Number 7? I think I've missed a couple. I'll have to go back and look.

Song 3 of RPM 2022. For the many tortured artists I've met with a bit of a dance spin to it. Most of my songs are unintentional and unplanned....they just happen. Thanks to anyone who's listening!! :)

I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.

Too cool.
Wait up I'm coming with you!
Your line of credit is good over here in Dakota County, Greg. I have a full bottle with your name on it waiting for you… love the tune!
Been wonderin' if yer muse had departed. Just on vacation I see. That there's a Country Keeper.
I agree ... great mix, great bridge. Your various instrument voices always cooperate so well with each other!
This is a really great song Greg! I love the music too. Cheers Bee
That instrumental bridge is great!!!!!! more, more, more, Who -Dat
Very "catchy" tune. Love your instrumental mix.
Hey Greg...this one has a feel good sound....good to hear new music from you.... love it!!
good song.....
I love my mini van, lot's of room. I could try to make it sound cooler by saying I'm using it to lug my gear gig to gig but mostly it just gets the family where they are going. Cheers!
Ohhh ... lovely intertwining of mando and low whistle. You set a beautiful mood right in the first few measures.
Perfect Greg, for this glorious sunny Good Friday, and it reminds me, must get some strings for my Mandolin !!!
Wonderful song... yes, winter go away
Another great tune....sweet melody and of course I love the mandolin...did you have a mandolin, I forget?....guess I got fired from the band now that your playing Mando too!!!!

Lovely, That Mandolin sounds so sweet, is that a breedlove Greg?
Ahhh... been learning mandolin have we? Still struggling with mine.
The long unusual drought has broken - nice job Greg.

You are a smoking hot song writer these days. These are all great songs and an ispiration to the rest of us.
Great story telling. I love the Tattoo part. Some of those never wash off. Maybe that can be your next song.
Lovely.
I love it! Great title and topic for this song.
Great Folk flavored song and lyrics. It's nice to hear this kind of music. We need more of it.
You are on a ROLL One after another. You go girl !!!!!
Sultry ... Another excellent song, especially considering that you are writing and recording 1 every 2 days. Number 7? I think I've missed a couple. I'll have to go back and look.
Great sounding guitar and over all recording. You have the touch with Logic Pro.
Beautiful
That’s a great sounding demo Andrew! I share your thoughts on RPM. I did it for several years, but now I would rather take my time.
OMG, now that’s the blues.
Song 4 on day 6 of the RPM Challenge! That’s impressive. 4 excellent songs so far.
Well done! I enjoyed this
Introspective and touching. A heartfelt emotional message.
Yes .... I like this!
Another listen …. Conclusion … you are one of the best songwriters on this site.
Another beautiful song. A very poignant request put to music.
Beautiful piece. A melancholy feeling.
