Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…

The most beautiful, gorgeous Sea Shanty I've ever hear. So haunting, chilling, gripping... I'm in awe. The instrumentation, the melody -- you're a marvelous talent. Too real! Wow -- just wow!

This song was inspired by a long walk....

Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night

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.

Tortured Love .... It will get you every time. Great expression of true emotion.
Yahoo! First banjo song!
Boy Terry, I left two comments so far and neither has shown up. Let's hope this one does. You fit these blues songs! It's like calling from home!
"Hey Constance" What a beautiful heartfelt song!
I love the sound of a wooden acoustic guitar. You have captured a lot of emotion here Roger.
Nice surprise to find this today.
First song of the day. Great way to get started.
That is some very smooth playing Kirk.
Pretty Cool Sound that you have created
Nice romantic song Terry . . . You old Softy!
"Nice to have a live one on the table" I love it!
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 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.
