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…

Love it intro is great, especially when Colleen says we are in Greg's recording studio!! (can I book a few hours?) outstanding song and great vocals all around, sweet harmonies!! I can't believe how good a sound you get recording live at the coffee table...no phones ringing, no dogs barking, no one yelling "turn it down"....ha ha........ I name this band LoDillCo
It's been a long time. Too many distractions and not enough time, or even focus to play lately.
Somehow this song, "Higher Ground" squeaked out from some hidden place.
We've always adored this song, there is another version but decided to re-record it. Now I think the Good Wife sounds quite good, when I think of the crap health problems she endured over the last 4 years. I am bias of course !!!! Lastly apologies…
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
One I wrote about 5 or 6 years ago, very different to the old version. It came about because of the shameful treatment of the soldiers coming back injured from that S**t hole of a country by the British Gov. They were forced into doing much more…
Justin Otter Guy (just another guy) and Gene Eric Mann (generic man) are the same musician. My originals are penned as Gene tunes (alonetone.com/mythopoetica) and my covers are uploaded as Justin tunes (/redshirt).
This is another GHOST OF JOHN MURPHY piece from the VOICES CD...
DIAMOND - Monster Wave
It started with an earthquake half a mile below
Belching like a bull whip to make the water blow
Monster in the making, Frankenstein unchained
Gravity…
A tune for Halloween.
I wanted to do something creepy. It works.
All Alone
I turn your knob
and throw Spot a bone
I palm your panties
when your not home
I turn the lights off
and cut your phone
I feel your fears
when you all…
Song by Nick Plagakis
Lyrics:
I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
You have some great lines here . . . *Got Myself A High Priced Honey"*
Judging from the headlines in the news lately I think I might have a hint where the inspiration for this song came from.
Well done Nick!
This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
OK, I'm hooked. I just hit the replay button again.
Great vocal synergy between the two of you, and the resonator guitar . . . well . . . it just brings it over the top.
Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In other words, they don't know what's causing it. And haven't been able to come up with a cure either.
- to princess...
And now for something completely different...
Well, friends, I think I may have over-banjo'd myself the past 3 years. It's not abandoned totally or permanently, but since the weather turned I've been feeling the need to turn to something else…
Every Single Time
You just make me smile.
It would be fun to meet you sometime. My wife says we're done flying, so next time we drive to Europe, will stop by.
Ok I need a lay down now. Been meaning to revamp this for years, still in DADGAD tuning, original sounded to much of a dirge, come to think of it, hope this don't !!!!!!
First things first, many, many thanks to Greg for adding Bass and a Great Harp break. Don't tell my mate Dave, my normal Harp buddy, he's been ill with Flu.
So, fast forwarding to one of my most recent tracks--with guitar, flute, bass and percussion. 9 years doing this and my style remains the same, layering of instruments around a melody. I hope you dig it
The struggle continues for the decent working folks to survive in a world run by "greed graft and corruption." which by a strange coincidence is the law firm that represents most of the enemy's.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
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!!!

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!!!!!!

Interesting bits of music! It will be fun to hear the finished result.
I don't know the original either, but I like this. Both of you sound *GREAT!*
Beautiful Andrew!
Interesting subject matter. The reality of war almost makes a person sick thinking about it. You put this together nicely though. A great tribute.
You sound a lot like my friend Gene! *Coincidence?* . . . . You got me chuckling this morning. Sincerely, *Justin Time*
I may have to download this to give the kids a chill tonight on Halloween! *WHO'S THERE ?*
*OMG* . . . You scared the Hell out of me!
I'm winking right back at you . . . *Birds of a feather*.
*BIGGER THAN LIFE* . . . Again
You have some great lines here . . . *Got Myself A High Priced Honey"* Judging from the headlines in the news lately I think I might have a hint where the inspiration for this song came from. Well done Nick!

Beautiful music . . . Let's hope *Princess* gets some strength from it.
It's a winner Robert . . . My feet are tapping! You are a man of many talents.

Oh Yeah . . . that's the stuff!
Good Fodder for thought.
Yes, this is really cool. Great layering of sound and rich texture.
