Two hours before morning light
Highway signs go by all night
Open window to catch the breeze
Helps me clear my cluttered mind
Road noise rumbling through the floor
Been on this road once or twice before
My mind is racing up ahead
Leaving…
That one is getting added to my collection of late night highway cruising tunes. Wish I'd had it when I used to drive all night between gigs in your general neck of the woods. Don't have that much use for the collection these days, but ya never know.
Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.

This might be my favorite SLKrell song.
This is an impromptu version that Buck & I played with the tape rolling.
Here is the original version of the song:

I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.
Originally written for a song writing challenge using the phrase *"Chicken Plucking Time In Petaluma"*
I've been teasing Steve (SLKrell) about Rose, from Las Cruces Nevada, ever since he wrote a song about her for Valentines Day a few years ago.
Rosie is a figment of our imagination. I wrote a song about stealing her away from Steve:

Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…

Hard rock song about losing faith....
Lyrics:
I'M GOING DOWN
Sedate it with barbiturates
Inject it with a needle
Calm this stirring anger
That I always feel
Lord, where are you
You've mocked my every prayer
Everything around…
Love song about strife in relationships....the song needs more work; gotta redo the vocals....nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. Here are the lyrics:
Beyond the horizon,
The sun burns bright…
Cover of a 19th century minstrel tune attributed to S.S. Steele, popularize by the late great John Hartford. This is my own arrangement. I use it as a backing track for alive set without the banjo and lead vocal tracks.
BTW- that banjo is an…
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
Not really Irish ... a Scottish ballad ...
An earthly nourris sits and sings
And aye she sings, "Ba lilly wean
(and) no ken I, my bairns father
Far less the land that he dwells in."
And up come he to her bed fit
A grumly guest I'm sure…
OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…
JV Andres- guitalele, vocals
Veejay Andres- vocals, melodica
Daniel Wilson- engineer, snare, bass drum
Philip Cartwright- lyrics
Forty-five sparrows hum you a tune
This fowl form of choir
will sing through next June
And head up north…
This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…
Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Nice one. a very lonesome sound
Love how mellow but driven this is. The harmonica is great as mentioned!
Loving the laid back, groove!
The harmonica is one of the most professional things that I've heard on Alonetone. Very VERY nice!
Boy you really have a nice story here. Great instrumentation and mix! Great harp BG. Gotta get one of those.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really love this. That harp is killer good, and the rest is so great. Love the rattler. Great lyrics. You are a writing machine!
This might just be your best work to date...amazing tune .. love the title..great mix

another beauty Greg.. love that backing Banjo
Great song.... always good to listen again
..sounds like a tune off the old "Sun" label in Memphis - very nice..
Pretty and lilting... Very cool version of a great song.

Where are you Bethan? Let's hear a little of your great voice.
Let us hope that love don't end. Ha ha!
Still and all time favorite of mine. Came by for a listen and a smile.
OMG! I just found this.... These lyrics are hilarious. You guys are the bomb :-)
Beautiful song.
Comments made by Greg Connor
Oh yes ... this hit the spot .... and just like Bethan, it's sweet with just the right amount of grit.
You gotta love a 19 second song. It's Right to the point.
Great Lyrics and Great Sound. This one is a lot of fun!
Great driving beat.
I like the chord change and upshift in the song. Good song.
Very pretty
That's some fancy picking Robert
Now that is a "Kick Ass" Lullaby!
You gotta love it.
This is so beautiful
I love that Mandolin!
This is absolutely beautiful.
I never met a monkey I didn't like. Wonderful beat supporting some nice riffs.
Great story telling, of uncertainty, which gets resolved, or at least somewhat resolved.
Nice song // Great Lyrics
Nice groove! I have to say the lyrics sort of slid in quietly and then REALLY captured my attention. "You Got What I Need"
I found myself rocking back and forth a little while listening. This is very addictive!
You have a great banjo, guitar, harmonica sound going here. Very Pleasing to listen to.
Great to hear a little banjo around here! Seems like they're always ... over me ... sooner than the other way around.
Wow ... That is a full & beautiful sound.
