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.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell

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

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…

Lyrics:
Don’t you bow, to kings and queens
Rise above, everything
If the devil beckons, and the angels sing
Don’t listen to, anything
The time has come, to raise your hands
C’mon everybody, take a stand
Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher…
RPM tack 2 --i stand atop the cathedral Notre Dame, fluffy white clouds float in an electric blue sky, gazing towards to Tour De Eiffel, i notice a small balloon flitting and flying along in the gentle summer breeze over the skyline of Paris
Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!
Good song here! You guys sound like you're having fun!
I loved the comment you left on my last song. You got me laughing pretty good!
*Good Luck* with the RPM 2014 Challenge.
Jan. demo for RPM 2014. Don't know if I will redo it for the album, so here it is for now...

I did this as a way to practice singing....why I am trying to learn to sing at 64 is a little strange.... I wish I had leaned to sing when I was starting out..but I always played in band with lots of singers and never had to sing much…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…
Justin Otter Guy (just another guy) and Gene Eric Mann (generic man) are the same musician. My originals are penned as Gene tunes (alonetone.com/mythopoetica) and my covers are uploaded as Justin tunes (/redshirt).
Always one of my favorite songs. I used to play this in my High School Band.
Ah those were the days . . . I had hair back then. You still do. Maybe that's why you can still play this song.
In 1979, my father came home from the record store with an album that forever changed my life, Pete Seeger's Circles & Seasons. Before I knew Pete to be the blacklisted folk icon that had been on the humanitarian side of every fight since…

She put a message up on Facebook
She'd wrecked her car and couldn't get to work
I watched to see if any of her friends would volunteer
They just wished her well
There'd been a storm.

This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast?
This was a treat to listen to.
Some time ago whilst YouTubing, I stumbled across several videos of old seafaring songs or sea "shanties". Unbelievably, that triggered some very ancient RAM of elementary school music classes wherein we were taught several of these songs. And…

Nice one great track mate
Good tune, Greg. A spot-on performance
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.
...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!!!!
Hey keeper, You are getting really good at this.....
A gorgeous song. Simple and heartfelt.

You have the touch! I love it. I had this visual image of three backup singers in skimpy skirts singing the chorus with you.
Richard, It's a beautiful piece of music. It just carries me away.
Beautiful . . . You have conveyed the feeling perfectly.
I like it! Interesting melody and lyrics and you got a great back up band!
Good song here! You guys sound like you're having fun! I loved the comment you left on my last song. You got me laughing pretty good! *Good Luck* with the RPM 2014 Challenge.
Good story telling and fun to hear the banjo.
Outstanding!
You just blew me away! Excellent Kirk
Interesting start to the song. Nice song! Good start to RPM Challenge 2014.
Good blend, Electric Guitar and Harmonica! Well done guys.
*GOOD SINGING!* I think you have been misleading us all along. *GOOD GAUWD MAN* . . . You got the pipes!
That's pretty darn good. Makes me want to pull out the old harmonica.
Interesting take on a great old song
Lilting melody. I can feel myself on a reach with a gentle breeze.
Always one of my favorite songs. I used to play this in my High School Band. Ah those were the days . . . I had hair back then. You still do. Maybe that's why you can still play this song.
Excellent . . . especially considering our recent weather.
Thanks to another cultural landslide for bringing this song to the foreground. Pete accomplished a lot in 94 years. We're going to miss him.
Eclectic and interesting. It just pull you right in. Nice going James.
This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast? This was a treat to listen to.
I just watched the video . . . You have an impressive banjo, and your presentation is first class.
