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

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.
Our twisted, Psychedelic Folk version of RAIN by the Beatles. Starry Nightmoth performs on the Yamaha E-313 KB, using it's "bag-pipe" setting. This 4:20-long song is best heard on headphones, with the lava and black lamps running, incense burning…
Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT
Don't you wear a hoodie -- No walking in the street
Armed with bags of Skittles -- There's killers on the beat
Hands up in the day time -- And never out at night
Don't be selling menthols -- No breaking up a fight
All…
HERE I AM
I've got troubles with my kidneys
My cholesterol is high
Swollen is my prostate
And my pancreas is fried
Well my blood pressure is boiling
And I really should be dead
Kiss my woman good-bye
Just before I go to bed
- But…
On 10/27/2014 I uploaded this re-mastered version, dropping the first half of the vocals by 3dbs.

You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn…
I used to play this in my High School band while shaking the hair out of my eyes.
Ahhh … . . *Those were the days*
Now I play mostly acoustic and I never worry about my hair getting in the way.
Progress? Maybe not, but it's still fun to think about.
Thanks for the memory

Black light and Lava lamps. Aahhhhh, the good old days
This might be my favorite *Steve Krell* song. Maybe Steve will record another version of *Saskatchewan* with his new Gibson J45.
Beautiful The acoustic guitar suits you. Great sound especially for a *“Garage Sale”* find
Wow . . . this one raised the standard. Nice job Andrew.
Lots of tone!
I can only imagine where the inspiration for this song came from. *Good listening!*
Perfect attitude. Go down the path with style.

That's what we've been missing! Great to find a new *Raimondi*
Well written and performed . . . but so sad.
A nice treat this morning. It's fresh and yet familiar at the same time. Good One!
OOOOOOH! I like this.
Nice vibe to this.
I just found this . . . Again. Good fun!
New beauty to an old classic
Such a contrast to my passive boring life. Listening to this, I realize there may still be a pulse in these old bones
Thanks Bethan for adding the *SPARKLE*
Stopped by for another listen to that Classic *GEM* sound. Well done my friend!
I think you might be the BIGGEST dog in the yard. Now . . . if you could only shake that shyness. Set those inhibitions free.
It's a tough choice, but I think this is my favorite of your three contributions to *PIE*
