Lyrics:
Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
This song is in response to the song writting challenge offered by Carl Unbehaun of Minnesota HomeBrew Radio / Thief River Falls, MN
"Write a song about a Crazy X Girlfriend"

Snow on the ground. Wind and temperatures below zero. It's time for another coffee table evening.
Recorded live around my coffee table with:
Mark Lofgren - Lead Guitar & Harmony
Colleen Dillon- Ukelele & Harmony
Greg Connor…
No, I never wrote the song, but always thought I would begin the song with the sound of my 12 guage shotgun as I open the action.
Gunshots and clapping are very hard to record. But there are plenty of places to go grab a sample.
This tune is one of my top ten favorites of all time.
It's originally performed by The Mike Curb Congrigataion and used as a music track for the movie "Kelly's Heroes" starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Salavas, Caroll O'Conner, Don Rickles, Donald…
In case you are in the mood today to kick some ass with Mike and me.
Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail Drum, Bongos, and (of course) Cowbell.

6/8
I uploaded this one earlier in the month with a rough track. Colin W. and Greg Connor helped me improve the arrangement and we recorded it at Winterland Studios this past week with some amazing equipment and awesome sound mixing support from…
This one has the stuff. I purposely left it alone for a few days so I could come back and listen to it "*fresh*".
I think it's going to be the star of the Minnesota Songwriters compilation album.
This tune began my Instrumental journey and starts my 1st CD "Escape to Clifford". Using acoustic guitars and voicings, I hoped to create a musical soundscape.
John and i are in the process of trying to write a blues album and here is our first attempt to throw at your ears. Hope you enjoy! Johns musicianship is Bloody excellent i just hope i can keep up...
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
Released via CD Baby this past week. The full version is available to stream on my site: www.robertpalomo.com/corporation_blues

I love it!
*. . . . Been there / Done That . . . .*
Now we have a song to describe the experienced, kinda like what Woody Guthrie did for us.
Your songs are always good Robert!

Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.
The old tin geetar...
Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
I wrote the lyrics and melody to this song a week or so ago when I was feeling that unsettling disconnected feeling we all get from time to time when we're missing the people we love.... Then I gave myself the challenge to try a few things with…

Great contribution on both your parts!
Hang in there Paul.
What a find . . . A real treat to listen to, and a wonderful message.
Very refreshing! I've been doing a little work lately with a music producer who is using a drum machine on everything. This is much better.
This one has the stuff. I purposely left it alone for a few days so I could come back and listen to it "*fresh*". I think it's going to be the star of the Minnesota Songwriters compilation album.
Beautiful piece of music. I like all the acoustic tones and textures.
O M G That's the way to kick it! OH OH . . . I just got to the lead guitar break. JOHN, you are impressive! You guys need to do this again!
I stopped by this morning for another listen. Beautiful craftsmanship!
I love it! *. . . . Been there / Done That . . . .* Now we have a song to describe the experienced, kinda like what Woody Guthrie did for us. Your songs are always good Robert!
I really like Colin's bass and supporting vocal on this song! Softening the third verse was an inspired idea. You got the magic Colleen!
That was fun! Thanks for including me. This is a wonderful song! The song and recording combined is something that you can be proud of.
Nice combination of percussion and classical guitar intro. Lead guitar is a great accent.
Intoxicating! I love it!
This hits the spot! I agree with previous comments, Byrds, Kinks, something from a long lost era. The song feels very familiar to me. Very inviting.
Lovely . . . Lovely . . . Lovely . . .
I have had days that could support a background track like this.
Nice sounds
Sounds like you are having fun! It's always fun to get a new toy.
I'm smiling and laughing all the way through! You certainly know how to capture the moment.
. . . . . . Damn Colleen! You are leaving us in the dust!
