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 Greg! What a cool concept for your album. I love the swingy vibe of this one. Great lyrics and now it’ll be my ear worm for the day. Thanks!!!! Can’t wait to check out the whole album.

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.

Yeah I know, trying to kill one of my favourite songs is madness, but the story is ... my daughter was getting lonely in her flat so she got herself a friend, Roscoe the Pug, could've tried to write one, but came in my head. I'll take the flack…
I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…
After lots of chirpy, upbeat stuff coming from me and Jip, here's some misery - oh yes, and some rapping - oh! and a little bit of swearing! Well, there wasn't much else I could do with it.
Enjoy, as much as you can, and I'll get back to…
Determination perseveres leaving "misery" behind.
Oh Oh . . . . Is the optimist showing through?
Good song out of what sounds like a painful situation.
Many thanks to Greg Connor for helping me with this track...I have been playing this Lindsey Buckingham / Fleetwood Mac song for a while, but could never sing it...so I recorded the acoustic guitar and sent it to Greg and he added outstanding…

What is the Earth without the wind
To turn the soil
To let the water in
When it comes
At the moment of the rain
Those cracks the wind swept
Now left to drink the whole sky in
Till its bubble rise a top on…
Don't Be Frightened
Don't Be Scared
Think of all those times we shared.
Don't you know we all lose all we ever dared love.
From the window, a view
Of a young me and you
Don't you know we all lose all we ever dared love.
I heard a rumour in…
Guilty Roses
Three dollars at the drug store
For a rose as real as life
Can't pass the display
I want to take one to my wife
But she's one suspicious lady
A rose herself you see
"I'm not that complicate."
That's what she said to me…
This one got my attention. I especially like the line about the yellow M&Ms.
I'm not sure if an award or therapy is the appropriate response. Maybe that 's why it got my attention.
Now I'm pressing play again, so, here we go . . . . even better the second time.
*You have originality in spades here my friend !!!*
I was going through my song ideas folder and stumbled across this lyric that I wrote ages ago... so long ago I have no clue what inspired it. Certainly long before I ever thought up my "Banjo-centric" schtick. But this is a tune that needs a banjo…
Very Creative!
I'm trying to think back . . . I think this the first song on the subject that I have heard.
I like your singing styles and harmonica too.
Plenty of boogie here, oh yeah!
I took this bus trip from Forth Worth, Texas to Wheeling, West Virginia and on the way home I jumped off in Cincinnati and bought a ticket to Nashville... Lots of stuff happen when you are on a bus and in bus stations for over 60 hours.
Here…
A revamp of an old song. I seem to remember writing the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, those were the days. Must admit had to change the Key, couldn't reach the notes in the original Key. Anyway, played in Open G with capo on first fret…
Another one from Jip and LJ. Didn't realise how 'Teletubby' it was until it was done!
Baby
Can't you see I'm running from you
trying to get away from you so
you can't do your usual trick and
mesmerise me
Maybe
You already had it in your…
We've suspected for a long time, but now you've come right out and said it.
There is not a lot of inhibition in this song. Just a good dose of *"That's The Way It Is"*
I love it!

The things we do for family.
Great voice! Nice tight band too.
Good song. Nice treat this morning. I like the recorder, and the laughter.

Yes, the acoustic guitar and lead break are fantastic!
Quite Pretty. I like the classical guitar accompaniment.
Very refreshing and upbeat.
Starts out *GREAT* and just keeps building

Great swing rhythms. Excellent song! I like the slide

You got me laughing out loud this morning James! Nothing like a good bus trip song to bring out the gritty side of life.
I just found this. What instrument are you playing? I love the bending notes. Well done Igor.
Nice video. Your scenery looks a lot like here in Minnesota.
B E A U T I F U L
Beautiful, rich, and engaging!
I keep resisting, but there is something about a ukulele that just grabs me. Another stellar vocal track lady!
Very melodic. I got out the headphones on this one. Well done Roger!
U N I Q U E . . . And fun!
