WOW!! as a huge Beatles and George fan I love this...great job getting the feel and sound of the Beatles.. guitars have that 60's sound...most excellent..... reminds me a little of Norwegian Wood and your voice has a little Tom Petty sound.....love it love it love it...can't say enough good things about this tune!!!!!!
Here is an old song with a brand new wash and shine. Recorded today. It's a song about a fictitious girlfriend that Steve Krell created and . . . well . . . I just couldn't help but steal her away from him. In fact we both stole and lost her…

My light-hearted take on a serious issue.
Over- prescription of powerful and addictive drugs, and the unknown and (to some) worrying relationship between doctors and the drug companies.

A Piece of Pi is our newest composition. It’s a brief summary of the story “Life of Pi”. A wonderful story needs a wonderful song. Hopefully we can meet this challenge and find like-minded people out there.
Well done...
Ooh, I just got to the vocal. Nice, and I like that bass too.
8 minutes of enjoyment. Just enough time to take a look at your website posted on your profile.
I recorded this one a while back for a short film which I am told will be out soon.
It's a reworking of my earlier piece, [gypsy caravan](http://alonetone.com/colingarvey/tracks/gypsy-caravan).
A bit of a musical kinda song.....
I DID WRONG
Counting on my fingers, counting on my toes, the years go by, but life is so slow
where life leads, to where it goes ,where it’s heading, no one really knows
But a small mistake a wrong place…
This is Fun! We may have to do this again in a few weeks.
I'm planning to sing this live tomorrow night at the Rosemont Jam. Harley will be playing bass. We could use some harmony if you are free.
I wrote another verse, subject to approval and Tweaking:
Broken Windows throwing stones
I don’t know how to heal these bones
I tripped and fell hurt more than my pride
If only my woman was by my side
I’ve been down this road before
I found myself on the cold hard floor
I picked myself up and carried on
Now my woman, now she’s gone
Honey I’m comin, home to you
A broken man, who’s sad and Blue
I need you back, and I’ll be true
Honey I’m comin home to you
I’ve spend my life, in foolish ways
Makin bad decisions, and then I pay
And it hurts me more, than you know
I’m Comin home again, broken so
MORE WINE!
Once in a nightmare
I knew you then
I think we were related,
I'm not sure
maybe we were strangers.
We'd look in windows and climb
the trees that grew,
and if it'd rained outside
we'd take off our shoes.
And when I'd see you
I would…
I remember a long time a go, there was a band called "It's a Beautiful Day". They had a song called "White Bird".
I don't know why, but this song reminds me of that sound. I love it.
Very retro sounding guitar too.

Here's my last studio effort of the summer, as we roll into fall!
I wrote this one earlier in the year sipping mojito's at the proverbial beach bar and then posted it here.... I thought I'd give it a little sprucing up with the help from my…
This song is a improv guitar with some modifications in audacity.

Wow . . . Talk about involking images. This is neat.
This would make GREAT background music for the "Talk Like a Pirate" Challenge going on right now.

Big clean transparent sound. Wish I knew how you do it. (Good blues tune too!)
Well done, Greg. Never retire from playing your wonderful music.
Nice job, Greg!!
Yummy ,Southern Fried
Congratulations on the CD
Great tune! has a real southern feel...that "Black Water" groove by the Doobie Brothers another outstanding job all around!!
Now that's how to write a tune. The second verse was perfect....... If we I get to sing this one together ,I got dibs on that second verse.
wonderful folk song, full of images that somehow take me off the range as well. Much enjoyed.
Congrats on being able to retire. I probably never will. You got much more than stories left, sir. You got songs!
Great lyrics....and of course outstanding singing & playing...reminds me a little of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Boy you sure can write a good one!!!! Another masterpiece! Thanks for sharing the song challenge too!!!
Okay. Seriously!!! You are just amazing. This is wonderful. I hear that Beatles influence for sure. Love the lyrics. My guitar and my thoughts are once again friends - killer!!!
Ha brilliant, 12 string electric still there ,well used. Blue in color as I remember
I love this as well!
Nice use of 12-string acoustic.

Very Refreshing. I wasn't expecting this, it's good fun.
Nice Bass with Strat / keyboard Introduction. And then it gets even better.

I just found you on YouTube . . . Good Stuff James! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IL1HCW3uzE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRukvPERWZk
Power piece of music! That harmonica sounds pretty good.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . that felt good !!!
Love the piano! Good humor.
I love that powerful voice of yours!
I noticed that you are getting a lot more fidelity out of your recorder than me. Let's remember that for next time.
Ahhhhh . . . There it is. The Glass song that we were talking about the other day!

Nice picking and bending!
Refreshing . . . . You have a great style.
Holy Cow !!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding Colleen! All three of these songs recorded at F5 Studio are excellent.

I like that touch of adding new instrument voicing at different times of the song. It freshens everything up. Well done.
Tranquil and inviting! The loop that comes in at the end is a great idea, but it distracted me from the easy listening.
. . I Love It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is GREAT Fun.
