It was 3 degrees this morning and with a new/used dulcimer in the house, well, the only thing to do is write a song.

It's nice the way this old ghost-ship of a website comes alive any time you post a song....reminds me of the old days, when this place was a real nice musical community.
The song is another good one, too.

OMG! Another total masterpiece. I love the chorus on this so much. Total earworm for the day. Good luck with the competition. You’ve got a real winner here.
Too many rainy days lately, so what is a boy to do? Write a song!

Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster.

Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge

A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.

Yeah, very, very good Greg. Wet, wet, wet here, and I can't swim !!!!
Sounding very good with the music and vocals.
Nice, love the new Dulcimer..great tone! excellent chorus, lyrically and musically!!
P.s. that dulcimer is really pretty!!! Send pictures!!
You captured the moment perfectly. Under the covers is the best place to stay indeed! Love this!
Another pretty song that brightened my day. Thanks Greg!
Sounding very good and fine slide work. Good job.
it gets my vote
Do you ever listen to anyone's music but your own?
Leave it out Greg, we all struggle with songs, then you drop a gem like this, *#*@#*# or words to that effect. Love it.
Great song...really love the chorus! Amazing lyrics
Love it! Harmonies, catchy lyrics, guitar solos - this song has it all 👌
Gregg, Another gem. Keep em coming! JB
Gregg, pure genius without AI. Another Gem.
OMG! Another total masterpiece. I love the chorus on this so much. Total earworm for the day. Good luck with the competition. You’ve got a real winner here.
Beautiful song, Greg. I used to pick up agates growing up in Western Wisconsin, but none here in NW Minnesota.
Sorry I was you guest commenter yesterday! I didn’t realize I wasn’t logged in. Great song by you!!!
Great song! all the instrumentation is excellent, especially love the Mando!
Another well-written song, thanks for sharing

This would make a great Stadium Rock Anthem.
Another good one. You have some great guitar licks here.
Refreshing . . . right between the soft and the hard.
Good combination of music and lyrics.
You have a nice groove going here. I like that bass.
Attitude +Plus FDR - You Got Style!
First Rate! Nice going guys. This is a great song.
I think your *"Back Up Band"* is holding you back. I found myself leaning in to hear that GREAT voice of yours.
Lots of tenacity here. Your lungs may be coughed up but the family jewels are still clanging together. Nice delivery !
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster. I can just picture those 4,000 souls floating out on the Gulf of Mexico.
Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Back for another listen. This goes well with coffee this morning. I feel like it's the sunrise singing to me.
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Another GREAT video!
Now I'm watching the video. It's nice to know creative people!
I Just found this now! What a riot. I love the interplay between banjo and guitar. You are my FAVORITE musician in Russia.
Yes ... That Jazzmaster is sounding good.
As Ron Rouch would say "Good GAWD" That's funny!
Delightful. Finally . . . Something to contemplate
