Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…
This may be one of my favorite turns of yours. Love the bluesy cool feel. And the lyrics are so good!!! The guitar work is wonderful. I love that slide thingy. An instant fav

Lyrics:
Don’t you bow, to kings and queens
Rise above, everything
If the devil beckons, and the angels sing
Don’t listen to, anything
The time has come, to raise your hands
C’mon everybody, take a stand
Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher…
RPM tack 2 --i stand atop the cathedral Notre Dame, fluffy white clouds float in an electric blue sky, gazing towards to Tour De Eiffel, i notice a small balloon flitting and flying along in the gentle summer breeze over the skyline of Paris
Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!
Good song here! You guys sound like you're having fun!
I loved the comment you left on my last song. You got me laughing pretty good!
*Good Luck* with the RPM 2014 Challenge.

You ask me how I'm doing

And say I'm doing well

I did this as a way to practice singing....why I am trying to learn to sing at 64 is a little strange.... I wish I had leaned to sing when I was starting out..but I always played in band with lots of singers and never had to sing much…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…
Justin Otter Guy (just another guy) and Gene Eric Mann (generic man) are the same musician. My originals are penned as Gene tunes (alonetone.com/mythopoetica) and my covers are uploaded as Justin tunes (/redshirt).
Always one of my favorite songs. I used to play this in my High School Band.
Ah those were the days . . . I had hair back then. You still do. Maybe that's why you can still play this song.
In 1979, my father came home from the record store with an album that forever changed my life, Pete Seeger's Circles & Seasons. Before I knew Pete to be the blacklisted folk icon that had been on the humanitarian side of every fight since…

She put a message up on Facebook
She'd wrecked her car and couldn't get to work
I watched to see if any of her friends would volunteer
They just wished her well
There'd been a storm.

This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast?
This was a treat to listen to.
Some time ago whilst YouTubing, I stumbled across several videos of old seafaring songs or sea "shanties". Unbelievably, that triggered some very ancient RAM of elementary school music classes wherein we were taught several of these songs. And…

You have the touch! I love it. I had this visual image of three backup singers in skimpy skirts singing the chorus with you.
Richard, It's a beautiful piece of music. It just carries me away.
Beautiful . . . You have conveyed the feeling perfectly.
I like it! Interesting melody and lyrics and you got a great back up band!
Good song here! You guys sound like you're having fun! I loved the comment you left on my last song. You got me laughing pretty good! *Good Luck* with the RPM 2014 Challenge.
Good story telling and fun to hear the banjo.
Outstanding!
You just blew me away! Excellent Kirk
Interesting start to the song. Nice song! Good start to RPM Challenge 2014.
Good blend, Electric Guitar and Harmonica! Well done guys.
*GOOD SINGING!* I think you have been misleading us all along. *GOOD GAUWD MAN* . . . You got the pipes!
That's pretty darn good. Makes me want to pull out the old harmonica.
Interesting take on a great old song
Lilting melody. I can feel myself on a reach with a gentle breeze.
Always one of my favorite songs. I used to play this in my High School Band. Ah those were the days . . . I had hair back then. You still do. Maybe that's why you can still play this song.
Excellent . . . especially considering our recent weather.
Thanks to another cultural landslide for bringing this song to the foreground. Pete accomplished a lot in 94 years. We're going to miss him.
Eclectic and interesting. It just pull you right in. Nice going James.
This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast? This was a treat to listen to.
I just watched the video . . . You have an impressive banjo, and your presentation is first class.
