When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins
Autumn leaves have all D gone
And the C geese are all G flying
Cause it’s time to move D on
When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins
We’ll sit by the Em fire
We’ll C talk about our dreams, our D hope…

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.

Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
I suspect Part 3 is coming soon. I enjoyed the originality of this story/song concept.
Fun to listen to.
I kept thinking of my niece, a young and budding actress. I could see her and her friends performing this on stage.
You might have a new career waiting for you . . . Playwrite.
this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Another quick scratch take, had to edit out a weird little noise from when the keyboard fell onto the guitar, but otherwise one take, render and upload. This will probably undergo a whole lot of revision to get a more usable center section and…
Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
For the grandchildren, when I get some!
Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!
This is Part 1 of the series - I have no idea how many there will be in total!
Enjoy! xox
P.S. This is…

I'm a teacher, a parent of elementary school children, a mental health advocate, and a pacifist. It's been a rough week... But there's still time.
TIME
Time to look in the mirror
Time to say what we believe
Is this the world we want…
first my apologies to J. Pachabell
second, my very best wishes to all my AT friends who make sharing music here so wonderful,, hope your holiday season is most wonderful and filled with love, peace to us all r
I sat watching Tom Jones on BBC4 this evening and thought i'd try and write him a song now i just have to find his management meet up with Tom sign a contract and get him to sing it then i should make a few bob...well it is Christmas you've gotta…
The cupboards, of this old house
Don't close like they used to
And your mother, is just as old now
Wouldn't you say
The lanterns, you hung in your teeth when you were young,
Still light up the room
Yeah it's true,
If anything is true
I wish…
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

Interesting sounds. Really captivating! And like *Breaking Light* says . . . Let's see the Belly Dancers!
Great way to start the morning!
Nice one Keith. I even dug out the headphones to take another listen. Great song writing! I just pulls you in.

Love It! You are the Master!
That's pretty neat
Good Story!
Oh Yeah . . . I get an instant smile when I listen to this. Over the top . . . The only way to go.
Not what I expected, but definitely fun to listen to.
I liked the early version, but that's just me.
Like a breath of fresh air. Nice one Jane. First original song? Well Done!
It's a winner Roger! Just makes you feel good.
I like that sound of open tuned strings. Nice one Kavin!
Sweet lonely sound.
I think Norm hit it . . . It sounds like a GREAT new beginning to me too.
Great way to convey what everyone is thinking . . . at least I hope we're all thinking that.
Stunning Work! Excellent.
WOW . . . . . . . Absolutely Beautiful!
You have captured him! Live Forever Tom Jones!
Wil . . . You have something special going on here.
