I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.

I like what you're doing with mandolin these days. Something I'd like to do more with but a) it's tuned so weird!! and b) the neck is dinky for my short fat fingers.
Sure have that same feeling of summer flying by! Good to hear your beautiful voice and lovely song here. I really like this one! Pensive and melancholy. Lovely
Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…

Here is a *MOJITO* Fueled version of "TV Dinner" that we recorded last Monday night in my Basement.
It's one of 9 songs we will be taping for Community TV, thanks to the *Minnesota Association Of SongWriters*

I need an electric geeetar. My weary old Crafter electroacoustic picks up every touch. 'Scuse the solo, I'm only a strummer..
Anyway, the song. Clogging up my brain, had to get it out. Some lasses don't know what they look like, and some lads…
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…
That guitar really caught me. I like the break into acoustic too.

I feel your pain, I grew up with Country Music. After years of professional help, I'm almost healed.
Bottle neckin' on the old 5 string. first attempt Standing on a corner with a cheap guitar...Got that empty feeling I don't know where you are...Wont you come back baby I really need my car.. I let you have my car keys ,gave you a…
A cool mixture of MIDI and conventional instruments.

There is no better lighter / slide :) Buy one, it could save your life.
For M.T.
Enjoy!
I've been trying to put another one of Mike's poems to music, but not getting anywhere.
Then jip threw this music at me, saying he hated it and asking if I could do anything with it. Pieces of Mike's poem went in and I sent it back to jip with…
Well, here we go then...

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...
Take off your underwear

Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…
Had a couple of ours spare this morning while the gang have gone for a bike ride/walk....so here goes...
Lets Fly (Lyrics)
Everybody's laughing but I feel like to cry
As I watch the party pass us by
I don't know what to think or what to do
Baby…
Had to reload this one to get it to the top of my list. Just had news ezfolk Mp3 section is to close down :( Looks like I'm here to stay !!! I found alot of fellow musicians on that site, many who are here now, any way, here's to Ezfolk, au revoir…
you know they say you have to write some rubbish before the good stuff comes out?... Entirely Garageband, not a live instrument on it but it was clogging my head up.
Another one here for 1 week only. My daughter gets married in October & she wanted 'Their' song for their first dance at the reception played by me & sung by her husband. So I came up with this version. Now I need to learn the cello…
Excellent choice for *"Our Song"*. Your Daughter has good taste.
I'll bet there is a good chance that we're going to see a video somewhere around November 1st.

Oh wow! I just listened and remember you playing this last time around the coffee table. This is one of my all time favorites of yours!
Listening to this one tonight with little Rory. He is loving it!
Love this one :)
Nice & cool
The first line alone conveys so much! Powerful song on multiple levels. Thanks for sharing it.
Great song even though there is a sad undertone.
Very Nice Greg !

Wow cool track mate

She wants to know if you're playing London some time soon!
Wife: Click the fave button! Me: OK
Wife lying on the sofa goes "who's this??" - I play her some more :-) Mighty cool tune, btw.

It's a rough world out there. This song sums it up pretty good.
Great visual imagery. Good one Mark!
Nice feel to this one! Great Music / Great Lyrics & Singing
Way to get your groove on! Well sung Fran! I can tell Roger has his Leather Pants on. He sounds like a real Rocker!
I like the violins! That was a nice surprise. Lots of energy in here. Fun to listen to.
That guitar really caught me. I like the break into acoustic too. Quote: *"I wrote this song some time ago with much more of a country feel to it. Thanks to the 12 step process I'm better now,"* I feel your pain, I grew up with Country Music. After years of professional help, I'm almost healed.
Terry . . . You got me laughing this morning! I love the inflection in your voice. It really put me into a spin!
You are on a roll.
I love that tuning. Way to think out of the box!
They may be trouble but we still chase them! I haven't caught one yet, but I still keep trying. Good song my friend.
I love it! Great driving bass line and ripping guitar lead. Just what I would expect from a Pub goer like yourself. *"Let's Go To The Pub"*
I never heard a Zippo sound so good. Nice piece of music.
Nice going Lady! The song is fresh and and lively. Great vocals as usual.
I Stopped back for another listen. I'm impressed how you can belt this song out!
I didn't expect the marimba, xylophone, whatever it was. Now you got my attention! That was fun!
Yes . . . This is a keeper! The bridge is a nice effect for resetting the song.
That organ really makes the song nice and light. Great touch. The song just bounces along.
Ah ... brings back memories of the *Good Old Days*
Delightful . . . .
