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

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…

HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair

IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY
If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe
If it makes you happy I will tickle you
If it makes you happy I'm telling you true
If it makes you happy I'll be happy too
If it makes you happy I will wiggle my ears…
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.

It has been a salty year for me, performing with a great sea shanty group in Saint Petersburg. I've written a number of sea songs this year, and this one especially for the 2014 holiday season.
Sorry, to post just a clip here, but I've released…
OMIE WISE (traditional)
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omie_Wise ]
Oh, listen to my story, and I'll tell you no lies
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise
He told her to meet him at Adams's Springs
He would bring her some money…
i was watching the new BBC wildlife program the other night and it showed the plight of a young Whale and its mother and a bunch of sharks and i i'm basing this one on that........coming up from the bottom to the top........
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…
Here's the classic sea song you know. The sea shanty group I play with is planning to record it for a video production. Right now we sing it like 99.9% of all sea shanty groups on the planet: straight thru with all the voices in unison on the…

Oops, guess I wasn't logged in before. I must have used all brain cells recording the song. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this, and as you said, we've all been friends for a long time.
Remember Terry's radio station? It's been a lot of enjoyment.
I've been up to my neck in Equations and other wonderful stuff since i started to train as an Electrician that's why i haven't been about much....i've had my head in the books.......anyway by way of some relief from the learning i've written a…
DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning
I struggle for the shore
I'm swimming 'neath the surface
I'm sinking ever more
While Davy Jones is laughing
And Neptune scoffs at me
I'm swimming on with purpose
I'm frantic to be free

I just toured your website. Wow . . . That's an impressive life.
*Smiling*. By the end of this.
I had to stop by for another taste of this.
*Oh* . . . . . . This is good! You hit the spot with this one.
Ahhhhhhhh . . . Now I'm in the Christmas Spirit!
Pretty Song!
Nice beat. Interesting texture to the song.

Excellent! Well done to both of you! Great story.
Spaghetti Western? What's not to Love?
I can actually feel those sharks. Well done.
Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.
"Put him in the bed with the Captain's daughter" great visual imagery!
Original and it catches a person's attention

slkrell (172.248.226.134) said yesterday at 8:35am "Cool drums they sound boxy, Cigar?" Yes . . . Cigar Box Drums! What do you think?
Oh . . . . I like this.
A nice ethereal quality to this. Well done!
