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.

One for the Peace Fest on the other side....it has a touch of the Irish about it i think.....
Bugger the fighting and bugger the wars

lets put a stop to the fighting once more

Deserts of the Higher Plane
Searches end, I had to admit
Mirages were never towns
Till I finally quit with my damages aloft
Holding what I can’t, what I can’t allow
Desserts of the Higher Plane roll along

This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.
Back around the turn of the century a group of miscreants would converge in a basement on Tuesday evenings to imbibe spirits and play music. Here's a recording of a public-domain song from one of those evenings (written by Kansas Joe McCoy &…

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall....
Humpty Dumpty's Warning Song (A preachy cautionary tale)
Pieces of the heavens lost
Shattered like ice on the ground
Desperate men struggled on
To put back all they had found
I sat upon a great stone…
I was so excited when SlKrell wrote to ask if I would do the vocals on this excellent song he wrote! I loved his lyrics and the rocking backing guitars. Hope you enjoy it too!

Friends...an offering from the not-real album "Dr. Pepsi's Death Cult Glee Club". The song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold.
The sentiments…
This was part of the 'who knew' song challenge, recorded live at Colleen Dillon's on 12-09-15, with Greg Connor on guitar. Love his part, didn't edit out anything, even left the comments on the beginning and end.

a.k.a. "The Ballad of Big Celine"
What ever happened to ballads - stories told in song? The internet and TV have reduced attention spans, and long songs a la Don McLean, Harry Chapin, and Gordon Lightfoot have fallen by the wayside. If you…

Fun tune!! love you doing the harmony part with yourself......

Bloody birds! They do it every time.
Great lyrics...funny too...this sounds like I could hear it on Sesame Street!!! mix sounds amazing
Ah, so true...at timed. :)
You are so funny! Is this street nearby in Savage? And I love the Thoreau reference. Some killer lyrics throughout. Yay!

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.
Comments made by Greg Connor
Pretty, reminds me of a gentle stream.
Nice sounding organ!
Reminds me of Iron Butterfly . . . I don't know why. I can hear Thetworegs singing lyrics to this!
Powerful Song !!!
Ethereal and Deep. It makes me stop and think. Good one John!
Still good this morning!
Sitting around your coffee table has been a lot of fun! This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.
I love it! I like the way it builds. So . . . is this autobiographical?
How about if I bring a harmonica Friday night and we do this song?
This is powerful. Sparse is the perfect approach and it accents your message perfectly. One after another . . . You just keep setting the bar higher!
Now Wait A Minute . . . . I know this guy! You made my day Tilden!
I WANT CHOCOLATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the symbolic message. Good storytelling John!
GREAT WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR !!! Nice collaboration from two of my favorite people.
I found this one from the past. Nice video!
Oooooh . . . That's good!
