Sorry, your song just reminded me that I tell that to Suzanne every fall!!....seriously though, another great tune from you, love what you are playing in the background.

Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????"
There are two theories:
1. It's Rita calling me for dinner.
2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.

When I was about 5 years old, my grandmother gave me a set of those old 78 rpm "records" titled "Songs Many Lands". For some reason this song was always my favorite... to the point I don't even remember anymore what other songs were in that collection…
I am currently working on a Concept album with a good friend of mine and great musician/ guitarist Chuck D. Although this track does not feature Chuck , it was developed based on the chord progression he came up with which opens the song up. We…
This is another collaboration with Greg Connor....
Greg wrote the lyrics and asked me to come up with a blues song...I recorded the guitars, bass and organ.....and screamed out some vocals...but the best part is Greg blowing harp...check out his…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…
The singing and lead break are classic *FDR*.
The rest of the song is somewhat on the mellow side for you.
I like that. . . but it's not the *dog on the end of the chain* sound I've grown to love.
Do you have a new girlfriend that you are trying to impress? What's going on?
I enjoyed the song, and I always enjoy teasing you a little.
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…

Changing Room 2013
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 !!!*
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
The classical guitar sounds sweet...love the sound of nylon strings...and I always want to hear the Irish whistle!! excellent!!!
Beautiful Greg ...... and yes, it seems darker this year ....
Good leads on the new box, I enjoyed this one
A cracker Greg ....... as always ..... : )
"When the snow is on the pumpkin it's time for dicky dunkin" Sorry, your song just reminded me that I tell that to Suzanne every fall!!....seriously though, another great tune from you, love what you are playing in the background.
Simply lovely!
Back for a second listen..... and about my earlier question that you gave me options for: I think it was RITA!!!!
I'm so glad you put this playlist together! What a great story.... Love that last line! Hilarious...
And this... woah, mighty fine... and the Elk Rut noises... yep SCARY!
Missed this. Fabulous.
Good job here it was hair raising spooky
Oh my the lightning got you, same thing happened to me
Scared the pants off me .... I ain't going into those woods ....
Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????" There are two theories: 1. It's Rita calling me for dinner. 2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.
I don't know how you do it. A deep well - your story telling skills.... Love this one!!! Who did the scary cries?????
Fun!! love the sound effects....neat story and a catchy chorus!!!
great lyrics and well played sung and recorded very much enjoyed! KC
Was there a minor chord in there, I may have effected you, drew you closer to the dark side
Now .... can this be classed as a song about Rita ?? or is it about your car ??? As always Greg .... good stuff.
Cool! really dig the vibe here, good playing and singing! Always love songs about cars and driving :-) keep on cruising ! KC

Beautiful
Big Sound I hope we get a chance to hear the whole album.
Now I can comment . . . Excellent Guitar work, with just the right touch of keyboard. I like that *"Trademark"* singing style too
Your video . . . Starting my day off right!
Happy Birthday FDR! It was my Brides birthday 3 days ago (Another Rocker). May your glass never be empty, and all the ladies look your way.
Very uplifting song. Perfect accompaniment to a perfect evening!
*That's what I'm talking about. . . . .*
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.
Determination perseveres leaving "misery" behind. Oh Oh . . . . Is the optimist showing through? Good song out of what sounds like a painful situation.
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
