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.

Ha just cut a batch of Rhrubarb here in pure Michigan.
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 story about my friend with impure thoughts of stealing Lilly Pads for his carp pond in the back yard.

Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
This is one of three songs inspired by the book THE HEALING OF FAMILIES by Fr. Yosefu - B. Ssemakula.

One is love, the other, hate
One will bless, the other, curse

Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!
My "banjo-centric" arrangement of this old minstrel show tune. I recorded it for backing tracks for my live set. I kind of wanted a fiddle solo, but I don't play fiddle. So in the middle there's a little "fiddle synthesizer" - just a couple of…
At last... I've managed to finish something.
This was written months ago. I was about to try recording it with one or two others when this year's decorating started. With various buggered fingers, back muscles, etc, etc, I wasn't actually able…
Great chord changes and build ups. Well done Andrew!

This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day.
Warning: the chorus can…
Writing this song was a very cathartic experience. This gamut of emotions took place in just one week - last week.
Unfortunately, I couldn't sing the first word without it sounding ridiculous, and so I decided to get back to my Northern roots…

That story sounds familiar

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!!!!
WOW!! this really has a great feel and reminds me of Tom Petty...and a little "Beatles For Sale" flavor...check out the album cover..released 1964....you win the fall challenge......outstanding

Nice Harmonica Playing Mark! I don't know why you wanted me to post this song on my site. The LAW is going to find you either way!
I'm impressed. Nice playing James!
You can really get some great tone on the guitar to go with those nice licks! That first beer went down fast. It's a *"two beer"* song for me.
Good *Old Fashioned* Folk Song
Lots of trouble . . . but still happy! That's the way to do it!
Ron . . . You got me laughing out loud !!!
Thanks Terry. I corrected my mistake.
I just got back from vacation and what do you know . . . more great music from *FDR*. It's a *GOOD LIFE*
I think I wrote this during the Perseid a few years ago. We sat out in the yard in the lawn chairs at 3:00 AM. Nice version my friend !!!
Fantastic tone on the guitar!
Good song with well written lyrics.
Thank the Lord for medicinal use alcohol. Take as directed by your conscience, and call me in the morning. You got a great sense of humor!
Big Sound with lots of interesting parts
I just found this today. What a treat! I like that driving beat, and the whine of the harmonica. Excellent Roger!
Powerful You have some great sounding guitar licks here.
Great Song // Great Mix
Still the best version of this song that I have heard. I was at a jam last night where someone played this song. . . *Great Song*
Great chord changes and build ups. Well done Andrew! ________________________________________ I had to go look up the word *"Dirge"*. I like hanging out with people who are smarter than me.
The remix really sounds good..
Beautiful I like how the Bass anchors the music and holds it all together.
