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.

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

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…

My favorite song by Jane Bowers
She was still alive back when I 1st learned
this song from the Kingston Trio.
I didn't know, back then, that I could have met her.
WHEN I WAS YOUNG by Jane Bowers
When I was young and dreams were new…
Thank you Greg Connor for putting his wonderful harmonica on this song. Enjoy!!
My little steam train
Rolling down the tracks
My little steam train
Going to take me back
All aboard!
The conductor shouts
Hear that horn blow
Hear…
This is a *GREAT* song Nick !!! You have captured the essence perfectly.
And even though I have told my wife repeatedly that the song is about a Train . . . well, let's just say she's on to you.
a little bit of blues....live in the living room at the end perfect timing the wife opens the door ans says See you later.........
my baby’s gone and i don’t know what to do
my baby’s left me, she left me cold that is true
she gone and left…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
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.

Here's a clip from a new folk single I just released. You can hear the whole song in the video below, or on the song page on my website.
This features 2 instruments people love to hate: banjo and accordion (in this case, melodeon). But both…

This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

Song inspired by listening to Nick Cave and reading all the bad news in the newspapers. Enjoy.
Lyrics and Music by yours truly, Nick Plagakis

Time is now to intoxicate the soul
Up high, private jets…
A Facebook Friend posted a picture of a
sign hanging on a tree that had the words

enough alone...I Googled the verse and
found it was written by Dallas Clayton.

PRETTY GIRL
Pretty girl, pretty dress

Say, "Hey! I love you
They make it look like something
So easy to do
Pretty girl, pretty dress
Well, I…

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.
...has a familiar feel - which is often a sign of a well written song. Nicely done.
Nicely done!
Dig this
Stunningly heartfelt.
You are too good at this songwriter/singer thing!!! When you gonna release a CD?...Maybe with your royalties from Dirty Thump you can get in the studio.....you need to be published and recorded...your that good!!!!

Comments made by Greg Connor
This song has that *"Relax and let it wash over you"* feeling. Well done James
Interesting . . . Now what could we do with it?
W O W ! Now I understand all of the previous comments!
Very Pretty. I think you have one of those "soft centers" that you always hear about the tough talkers showing occasionally.
This is a *GREAT* song Nick !!! You have captured the essence perfectly. And even though I have told my wife repeatedly that the song is about a Train . . . well, let's just say she's on to you.
You can *REALLY* belt it out! I'm with Roger . . . I'm smiling!
A nice easy feel to this. Just what you'd expect from a *"fine looking woman"*
Raw talent is what this shows.
This might be one of my favorite *Gene Eric Man* songs.
Beautiful song! I love the video. I got a kick out of your comment regarding banjo and accordion.
This was the first of Gene's (Ricky) songs I remember listening to. That was back on *EZFolk.com*
This is the first of Gene's songs I remember listening to. That was 10 to 12 years ago on *EZFolk.com*.
I stopped by for seconds!
Simply Stellar Andrew! You hit the mark again!
I like this It has a gritty "loose ends" kind of feel to it , like life is not always perfect.
I just really like your style. This song is so inviting, it's like an old friend.
I had to play this one again. Beautiful!
Interesting technique on the guitar. Very creative!
I really enjoyed this. That piano sounds great!
Interesting bridge. I didn't expect that. You know how to keep the listener's attention.
