Great groove and lyric. This might be the best GC song I've heard. You have all your images working. A total success. Vocal, production...all fully realized.

Maybe I take that challenge. But my song would be about Patti Meadors who transferred to my school in the middle of my senior year and tho she ate lunch across the street at the elementary school cafeteria with me just a few times and then transferred away before the year was over I will never forget her and...we never had that first date.

Ah a taste of summer. Nice one Greg, catchy chorus and love the banjo.
Just as I am retiring and about to be more of a supportive listener, my account has been deleted. So it's Bee here Greg and consider this has been faved.
I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.

My sister took a page from the Ozark cook book and whipped up a Rhubarb compote ,mighty fine. So is this tune faved
This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…
KC - keys, guitar, bass, vocals & mix
It's 5 AM in the morning
I'm burning the midnight oil
There's coffee to stop the yawning
Just don't care about a recoil
I decide to take a walk
A starlit night in the park
I'm in the mood for…
This is a song that I wrote some years ago
I wasn't satisfied with the result and completely rerecorded it
KC
I woke up this morning, tried to get out of bed
My head was in a spin. Lord, I felt so bad
My hands were trembling, my knees…
One of the last songs we recorded before the lockdown
Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums
Bingsolex - lead guitar
Erwin B - bass, recording
KC - vocals, guitar, keys & mix
When you told me I was blind
It almost blew my mind
When you told…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
Have you ever felt like it was YOU who were the problem? If you haven't, then you're missing out on one of the purest forms of self loathing that humanity has to offer. This is dedicated to the fine soul who actually did find something lovable…
I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get.
I like to imagine…
The other day I was having problems
So I called my son
Because he always helps me when I'm in trouble...
When the mouse can't see the dongle
The cursor is erratic.
There's something in the way
Move that chair
Hmh, maybe I Google it…
Well it's been a long while (as seems to be the pattern lately) and I was inspired by Greg and Ron's new songs.... Then I saw a lovely note from the Proods saying "I must have been writing during this crazy time" - so I had to respond with something…
Well the virus has my friend and music partner in Krakow Poland sheltering in place but we are using the time to write and record..here is our latest...we tried to write in the style of Motown...check it out ... all music and production by Art…
CALIFORNIA
Capo @ 4 in C/Am
I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin
(Am, stepping down A G F# F E)
Where the back pasture builds
To Sierra foothills
And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean
I’m going back…

OMG! What great story telling... Now I know this never happened to you :-) :-) :-) Beautiful!!!
That story sounds familiar
you are the next Bob Dylan!!! love the song, has a Dylan flavor...Excellent
Ha! Another one discovers that you can use banjo AND squeezebox and get away with it!!
Hey there! This one is a real keeper. Love the imagery of your lyrics and your banjo / harmonica just gives it a sultry sound. Love it!!!!

SKATING is another of my suicide songs. I must do a trip to your coffee table group sometime.
Man , you should be better talking about you then that. Ive heard a ton of stories from you and I faved them all
Great to hear you playing more electric!!! excellent solo, very melodic..... outstanding song, has a feel like Roger McGuinn and the Byrds love it

Excellent
Love it!
Nice clear recordings and excellent groove.
Good stuff. It's easy to slip into this music.
I like your style! Good song performed by talented musicians
This just sounds like fun.
This gets my feet tapping! Great Vocal supported by solid instrumentation. It's fun to hear you again!
Excellent song for the time! Very unique sound and feel.
It’s like finding the surprising soft side of some scruffy old characters
Sounds like you guys are having fun! Good song, and yes it does remind me a little of the Monkees.
I love it . . . .especially the part where the fly is stuck in the kitchen.
You got me laughing on your last comment and now found this treasure! It’s a good life.
Beautiful and a great reminder to keep things in perspective. Let's keep on writing!
Lovely music to accompany a peaceful message. Who is playing the piano?
Outstanding! I feel like taking a trip to Detroit.
Nice positive message, and interesting lyric and melody. Excellent!
"Where the moon on the beach pushes time out of reach" That's Poetry!
Very catchy
I love it! 26 seconds long to convey a complete thought.
A bit of a departure from your usual reflective messaging. This one is a real toe tapper.
