I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.
Originally written for a song writing challenge using the phrase *"Chicken Plucking Time In Petaluma"*
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to one of my sloppily recorded ideas! I have had the worst time with basic song construction and even coming up with more than one verse or chorus and then completely loosing my drive. I'm not under the impression that my riffs or ideas for songs suck or anything but I fell cumbersome because I have no endgame and without a point , what's the point right?? ;) anyway, that leads me to my reason for swinging by at the moment, thank you tremendously for the kind words on "4 the kisses...." I waswondering if you would consider putting a vocal track to it please? I understand fully if you can't or simply don't want to, but if you do..... !!!!!!! I would be eternally greatful and for the rest of my stay at alonetone.com I would consider naming my 1st born Greg
LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…
.
Full moon, full of mystery
Full moon, shadows thru the trees
I can feel your spell, I’m beggin at you please
So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view
I can feel that dark side, all because of you
Way down…
Pleasure boats and fishermen
Tugboat pushin three barges wide
Sit on the banks from morn till evening
Wave to the people as they pass me by
Up in Minnesota she’s fast and cold
Walleye fishing just below the dam
Go and catch em til…
TRUE STORY
Here comes Ernest he say how you want your eggs
Don’t matter what you say to me, don’t care how much you beg
This here is my damn place and you are just a passing through
You’re lucky just to be alive cause I don’t care about…

Looks like your How to Assemble has reached 100 plays, and all 5 Currently Kicking Ass tunes are STILL How to Assemble songs, but your is on top. Congrats -- I'd call that a hit, and you are once again "The Featured Artist" -- and that's a damn good choice!
Just musing about all the "can do" quotes I see on Facebook.
If I could play the fiddle, I’ll tell you what I’d do
I’d believe in what you say and I’d believe in you
But I can’t play the fiddle no matter how many I try
Since I was in the…

First collaboration with Greg Connor for 2014!!

I posted my version of "POP" for about 6 hours and took it down again. It just didn't "POP". This does!
Good one *Sweet Ronnie Cheesecake!*
Live piano, recorded with a touch of strings, no sequencing, its just my fingers, music made up on the fly. This is me just being creative, its how I "write" my music.

Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?
Lately Ive been dreaming of you lying next to me and I realise your gone
And I cant seem to find
A way to stop these tears, from bleeding out this heart of…
Once again, Greg Connor has kindly added his wonderful harmonica and Dobro to this song. Thanks so much, Greg! Mean Streak Blues is a song about how wrongly we could deal with frustration....enjoy listening

Great song!
im sitting in a dark room with good speakers falling into this very cool evocative piece,, nice
The percussion section is exceptionally groovy. Great job on the harmonica. Well, really, all of it is great.
Just listened to this one again.... Wonderful song!!!
@Steve, I had to go back and look up my version of the story. You and I are consistent. Ernest was one of a kind.
Singing's good, Greg!
Came by to hear if I still liked this one. Apparently I still do. Gorgeous.
sooooo well done,, your play is beautiful,, is that a penny whistle or some sort of flute,, it's quite breathy as a whistle,, and beautiful indeed
Wicked !!!!!
Wonderful slideworks !!!!! nice song well performed !

This puts me in the mood . . . Let's Party . . . Well . . . As much as I party these days.
Very comforting to listen to.
Beautifully improvisation
It certainly would be fun to meet you some time. Every song is *Full Speed Ahead*
Nice jazz sounds. You have a great touch on the guitar.
Good collaborative energy.
Beautiful . . . Excellent picking style on this melodic composition. The bass brings it home.
I grew up with this song. I remember my Dad singing it. Nice to hear it again. Thanks Dan.
That's a nice fresh sound !

Just like a train going down the tracks. Very inviting.
Beautiful song. I also listened to a couple *"Atlantic Skies"*. Very impressive!
Endicott . . . You've been holding out on us. This is beautiful. Vocals are perfect for this music.
Good collaboration. Very nice fit!
I've listened to three of your songs so far. . . All of them keepers! Nice lyrics and Nice Licks!
Stopped by for another listen this morning. Still got the juice!
Very romantic. I like that syncopated rhythm.
