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.
Here is my contribution to the Cherry Pie project of Greg's ....I had started it with the intention of a collaboration with Geas ...but i went down the pub tonight and watched a gig down there and came back a bit over excited..as i haven't had…
I've given this a bit of a twist ....Big E sat on the settee bored so i got him to work..hope you enjoy...another for the John Lennon Jukebox on the otherside....
One of my better Psych Folk recordings. Intro voice and keyboards by Starry Nightmoth. BG rhythm/drums generated using a Yamaha E313 KB. Lyrics, music and all other instruments and vocals are my fault.
BEHOLD THE BREAD (Unleavened)
All of…
GOOD-BYE
I don't want to say good-bye
But I have to go
Catch the train that's heading West
Do another show
I don't want to make you cry
There's no other way
Give your weary head a rest
Carry on the day
- Don't know how to say good…

Here is my version of Greg's Cherry Pie...I took a little liberty with it and recorded a whole new song.....I think Greg said that would be ok!!
Tried to put the Sweet Ronnie Cream Cheese Mojo on it....good gawd!!!!
Last one for the Cherry Pie festival.
Don't mind me, I'm goofing on my WG alter-ego.
If your unaware of my Gunslinging, Wall of Voodoo, Ennio Morricone,
Good, Bad, and Ugly, Fistful of guitars influences, you may NOT like this spaghetti…
FEEL THE TIME
Feel the time is rushing by,
I feel the time is near
Feel the time is crushing down,
I feel the time is here
That is how the world goes round,
that is how it goes
Just a question, when and how,
and that no one knows…
Yup. I'm having a freakin' great time with this wee little tune.
Some classic WG for ya'll. - Raw and loud. :)
I'm working on a spaghetti west version as well.
Watch this space. I might publish it.
Thanks again Greg.
Enjoy Cherry…

This is a fun idea Greg has, and I can't wait to hear more.
He sent me an acoustic and vocal track and asked me to complete it.
I stayed up most of the night jammin' it. :)
It's a bit loose around the edges because I didn't work anything…
Love it! Great instrumentation, and the occassional harmony makes it sparkle.
