I read all the lyrics before I had a chance to listen. Excellent poetry indeed. I wanted to know where you were finding that peaceful road. Somewhere north I’m guessing. Great melody and lovely arrangement. Another instant fav!!!

Great for this snowy day! Really great tune (harmonica!) and I needed these lyrics. Great coming back to find your songs - you've been productive! Well done.
You are on a roll!! Love it!! been listening to your new album...really like it...Satisfaction Is a State of Mind and Sweet Relief are 2 of my favorites!!
Excitement is one of ten songs on my new album "Treasures". The album covers a list of 10 words describing different characteristics of ENJOYMENT. The words are:
Love, Joy, Happiness, Relief, Contentment, Amusement, Pride, Excitement, Satisfaction…

Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
I wrote this song 5 years ago and have recorded a new version of it every year since (I think). This version features a Baritone 8 String guitar and Mandolin.

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

A simple guitar groove. Haven't sat in a coffee shop since before the lockdowns, and I miss the atmosphere and the music! This tune feels to me like sitting in a cafe.
(Every time I think it's done, I end up tweaking it a bit more in Audacity…
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
Antoinette plays keys, Anonymous plays drums, Evan is guitar left, Chris is guitar right (sorry I was a jerk and too loud) - This dates from 1977 when I was a classical major and Antoinette a piano major. Even though this improvisation was from…
I wrote this song as a way to process some of the feelings of sadness, dismay, anger, fear and love that were brewing inside my heart this past week. I live in Minneapolis, where the terrible killing of George Floyd occurred, and the subsequent…
Original song by my friend and music partner Randy Arneson.
Recorded in Garageband using a pickup plus condenser mic on a vintage Gibson 12 string (2 channels of guitar). I have a couple different versions of this one recorded...
Due to climate change we've had little rain in the last couple of years
The day after I had written this song it rained all day :-)

I wrote this one morning but gave up tryin to sing it . then I asked my buddy Steve Schostal to do vocals . His Canadian accent was perfect for this . Notice how he leads the beat ‘wow perfect.
I love Colabs

Here it is in all of its glory...
THIS is the song that Mrs R and I had decided was a suitable response to a request to "Upload something HAPPY, stat!!!!!!!!!"
I tried to record it back in 2013 when I wrote it…
Well done! The title is very inviting. I couldn’t help but listen.
I never found the humor, but rather a poignant feeling of loss, eloquently described.
A song that sort of wrote itself, quite quickly, wouldn't say it's a happy song, but
sometimes you can't help what pops out.

I BUY GUITARS
Em
One man might buy cigarettes and waste it all in smoke
Another marijuana and share a friendly toke
Am
Another, with more money, might invest in antique cars
Em
I buy guitars
A man might buy a baseball card
Keep it…

Outstanding song and message!
Rita and I are giggling this morning. You guys are a lot of fun to hang around with.
This is addictive! I love it.
I just discovered your Colab-O-Rama playlist. I listed to most of and just enjoyed every moment.
Sweet Memories
Great interpretation! ( I have typed and erased several times and now . . . . I'll just leave it at that)
Yes I could hear Colleen breathing, and as far as I can tell, it sounds like you were far behind trying to catch up while recording.
Is that a mandolin? Nice song.
Ahhhh ...... The good old days!
Rita and I are listening together. She wants to know why I never wrote a song about HER !
This is like an Anthem! We need to share this with someone. Outstanding message and perfectly delivered.
I love that 12 string! Great singing, nice song.
That guitar track is addictive. Your songs alway have a great groove. And this one, It’s a real foot tapper.
Is that's what living in Arkansas will do for you? You are getting some nice clear recordings with your new set up.
Perfect blend Roger! I think we got the formula now. We’re headed for the stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is one of my absolute favorites of all time
Well done! The title is very inviting. I couldn’t help but listen. I never found the humor, but rather a poignant feeling of loss, eloquently described.
Very pretty! Great message. I think this is my "current" favorite of your songs.
Ah the good old days . . . . We are all better behaved now.
This is a gem! I’ve been a member of the 12 step Guitar Buyers Anonymous for years.
