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.
When I saw the May songwriting challenge offered by Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show…

Had to really push the good wife sing this one. After a couple of years of serious health scares she had lost all confidence in herself. Glad I did my 'Phil Spector' trick on her. ( No gun involved !! )
This song was written on guitar by Kari Eskola from Finland. He sent me his guitar track along with this fantastic vocal recording by Emmi Inkeri asking me to replace the guitar with a piano accompaniment.
I tried my best, knowing that I'm not…
I promised you the world again
Everything within my hands
All the riches one could dream
They will come from me
I hoped that you could understand
That this is not what I had planned
Please don’t worry now
It will turn around
Cause I need more…
Ok lets get some oldies out, this and the next two tracks was recorded on my old recording studio machine. Ah, the good old days,rose tinted glasses of course !!! Or is it just me ......
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
After the tragic events of the last few days, I felt compelled to upload an old song I wrote in 2007.Tragically a young Soldier girl was killed in action in Iraq. She was just 19 years of age. I had to have a rant !!! I apologize in advance if…
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…
A remix of this tune by a guy who really knows how to mix tracks proper...Andy found a producer type guy that liked this song but thought the mix was really bad...so I sent him all the individual tracks and this is what he came up with I think…
An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.
Lyrics:
20 years running through time and I remember
all the magic lines
that in our younger days
we drew…
I was planning on doing a theme-based rpm this year on outer space, but didn't manage to get all the rpm songs to fit. I've been reading a lot of Stanislaw Lem - probably my favorite science fiction author - and dedicate this to him. His books…
words by The Goods,E.G. & K.G. . music by me M.F. . our preferred rpm track . this song is about a coward and what he has coming, based on an assault of one of our loved ones. you can hear the anger. that is cool!
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…
K.G. wanted to write a "good times" song and i think he hit this one out of the park. here in indy the highway does a big loop around the city. add some fun and music and that equals a rockin' good time.

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!!!!

A provacative story, and the scary thing is that it's true.
I got a big smile out of this one! Great way to start a Monday.
Nice Relaxed Presentation with Good Vocals
Very refreshing!
This has the delight of the evening, and the dull throb of the morning after ..... all in one! Happy St Patrick's Day my Friend
Ah ... A Lovely tune indeed.
This is a beautiful song, and the piano and voice are wonderful.
What a great refreshing song!
I can just about picture you with rose colored glasses singing this song. It's very light and happy.
Pass me something with Rum in it. I'm feeling tropical.
Sad song but unfortunatly a very current topic right now.
Interesting and unique. I like that balance between staccato and drone.
Oh Yes, I'm getting thirsty now! I think I have a cold Beck's up in the refrigerator. Here I GOooo...
And the Song Of The Year goes to ......................... RON ROUCH !!!!! Good Gawd Ron ... You can really cut it loose.
I can always tell when I really like a song. i grin from ear to ear. I'm grinning my friend.
Just a hint of Grateful Dead.
Lot's of attitude here. I love it.
Ahhhhhh . . . St Patrick's Day. My favorite religious holiday. Where is that song you wrote a few years ago?
This is some "Old School" Rock & Roll.
Hey ... This hit spot. Nice electric guitar sounds, Maybe you could party with Norm and I sometime.
