"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.

I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…

This is a collaboration with Greg Connor (check his song list here) Greg wrote this about his Heritage Millennium guitar and Heritage guitars company in Kalamazoo. He sent me his vocals and rhythm guitar track and I added lead & bass guitars…
This was completely written by Andy...he wanted to enter this in a song writing contest for a Humane Society thing in England...the song had to be about a dog's poor life and death alone.....I think he did a great job all I added was the guitar…
Well I see it's that time of the year again, where did that year go .......So here's an old one from 2007. Got my Grandson to sing on it, something to embarrass him with when he's older. He's 10 next week, so he was 5 at the time. Bless !!!

in a place like this
The Multnomah Falls is up the Columbia Gorge
Somewhere between Portland…
Closure The look in your Eyes
Took me by supprise
back to a better place
Where I could feel
Oh how we breathed the air feels much lighter now.
You talked of us.
We spoke of trust
I heard your words today
A promise i'll keep
if you should…
I got me a new mic and a pre-amp and I picked up the Jumbo Eko (I'll do this again when my fingertips have recovered). I tried to do finger picking when I was a teen, but didn't pursue it as it seemed like too much hard work at the time. Today…
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary

If this is bored, then we're the benefactors. Beautiful melody.
Yes, sad song, but well written. You guys did a nice job on it. I especially liked the intro.
This is special . . . nice duet.
It's fun to catch up to you again Verne! You are a great story teller.

Nice refreshing sound.
That's really pretty Jane! It draws a person in.
I stopped by for an extra listen this morning. I like the Pan Flute here. Nice touch.
Oh yes . . . is this a true story?
This might be my favorite so far. Nice presentation Terry!
I love the bending notes. Very happy music.

Interesting sound that you have found.
Nice going Amy. You have a great voice!
