Feel the wind in my sails
Heading toward a brighter day
No more dark, dead end trails
Looks like sunshine all the way
Aint no stopping me now
Been a long time in the darkness
Bangin round where I can’t see
Smell the fresh air through the window…
I just bought a new Gibson SG Standard guitar with P90 pickups. I bought it after listening to Steve Krell's Gibson Gold Top with P90's.
Here is my first recording with the guitar.
Lyrics:
Sitting in my living room
Sunlight will be fading…
Feel the wind in my sails
Heading toward a brighter day
No more dark, dead end trails
Looks like sunshine all the way
Aint no stopping me now
Been a long time in the darkness
Bangin round where I can’t see
Smell the fresh air through the window…
Wow, that is some very fine harmonica-playing! Great backing guitar as always, and your voice is really sounding good. Also ... I've said this before in other comments, but it bears repeating that you do a wonderful job with recording/mixing.

Hard to see it come to an end
But it’s going to…

Having another listen for that guitar sound :)
Funnily enough, my SG and Explorer have swapped pickups (wonder if this had anything to do with it?). The SG has come off slightly better I think, been using it a lot last few days - slightly more, er, raucous than this, but it can do these sounds as well now.

I hope you don't mind if I slap a track of acoustic lead guitar to this. Four bars into this and I was swiftly adjusting the tuning on my new Yamaha, and then... well, keep an eye and ear on your email.

Lay in bed no sleep to be found
And the shadows dance on walls
After the Sun goes down
Just a reflecting time
The clock just seems to unwind
The silence gets so loud
Just a reflecting time

Lyrics:
River run away with me
I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow

i was watching the new BBC wildlife program the other night and it showed the plight of a young Whale and its mother and a bunch of sharks and i i'm basing this one on that........coming up from the bottom to the top........
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…

Oops, guess I wasn't logged in before. I must have used all brain cells recording the song. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this, and as you said, we've all been friends for a long time.
Remember Terry's radio station? It's been a lot of enjoyment.
I've been up to my neck in Equations and other wonderful stuff since i started to train as an Electrician that's why i haven't been about much....i've had my head in the books.......anyway by way of some relief from the learning i've written a…
DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning
I struggle for the shore
I'm swimming 'neath the surface

While Davy Jones is laughing
And Neptune scoffs at me
I'm swimming on with purpose
I'm frantic to be free

Our twisted, Psychedelic Folk version of RAIN by the Beatles. Starry Nightmoth performs on the Yamaha E-313 KB, using it's "bag-pipe" setting. This 4:20-long song is best heard on headphones, with the lava and black lamps running, incense burning…
Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT
Don't you wear a hoodie -- No walking in the street
Armed with bags of Skittles -- There's killers on the beat
Hands up in the day time -- And never out at night
Don't be selling menthols -- No breaking up a fight

HERE I AM
I've got troubles with my kidneys
My cholesterol is high
Swollen is my prostate
And my pancreas is fried
Well my blood pressure is boiling
And I really should be dead
Kiss my woman good-bye
Just before I go to bed

On 10/27/2014 I uploaded this re-mastered version, dropping the first half of the vocals by 3dbs.

I used to play this in my High School band while shaking the hair out of my eyes.
Ahhh … . . *Those were the days*
Now I play mostly acoustic and I never worry about my hair getting in the way.
Progress? Maybe not, but it's still fun to think about.
Thanks for the memory
DEAR PEGGY
Dear Peggy,I thot you'd like to know
That blue tile in our bathroom you said would have to go

The SG has come off slightly better I think, been using it a lot last few days - slightly more, er, raucous than this, but it can do these sounds as well now.
So, it runs in the family I see. Another great composition - endearing lyrics, great playing (and I love the whistles conversing with each other). :)
Sweet hearts and guitars, that extra limb which grows with us until it has become us. love this one deeply Greg.
I hope you don't mind if I slap a track of acoustic lead guitar to this. Four bars into this and I was swiftly adjusting the tuning on my new Yamaha, and then... well, keep an eye and ear on your email.

Spaghetti Western? What's not to Love?
I can actually feel those sharks. Well done.
Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.
"Put him in the bed with the Captain's daughter" great visual imagery!
Original and it catches a person's attention

slkrell (172.248.226.134) said yesterday at 8:35am "Cool drums they sound boxy, Cigar?" Yes . . . Cigar Box Drums! What do you think?
Oh . . . . I like this.
A nice ethereal quality to this. Well done!
Black light and Lava lamps. Aahhhhh, the good old days
This might be my favorite *Steve Krell* song. Maybe Steve will record another version of *Saskatchewan* with his new Gibson J45.
Beautiful The acoustic guitar suits you. Great sound especially for a *“Garage Sale”* find
Wow . . . this one raised the standard. Nice job Andrew.
Lots of tone!
I can only imagine where the inspiration for this song came from. *Good listening!*
Perfect attitude. Go down the path with style.

That's what we've been missing! Great to find a new *Raimondi*
Well written and performed . . . but so sad.
A nice treat this morning. It's fresh and yet familiar at the same time. Good One!
