Recorded Last Friday - I sprung this song on Mark Imsdahl while we were playing music together.
I thought he did pretty good for never hearing the song before.

I love my mini van, lot's of room. I could try to make it sound cooler by saying I'm using it to lug my gear gig to gig but mostly it just gets the family where they are going. Cheers!

On a resent group meeting of musicians , I was reminded of the love of Latin rhythms. Thank you Bethan.
This is a tune dedicated to a los angeles luthier family ,Candelas, who build old style classic guitars. My fist real guitar was one of…
I wrote this over a year ago and could not get it. the groove was too slow and so were my hands. well tzars better.
the concept came from a friend comparing his new love with a ten round boxing match . I could not resist.
So, a song about today's World, first and foremost , without Greg Connor and his imput to push me on this song it would've happened. Thanks Greg, you're a star.
It's in my will, Greg, a third of all the profits go to you ....... sorry promised…
Wow! I really like this. I hear the "Wife" earning her 1/3 Royalty. You added some GREAT new lyrics and that chorus sounds fantastic.
I like the addition of the second guitar in strategic spots (need our friends).
Well done Roger!
Hey,
I just improvised again this night and wanted to share what came out. Usually I'm such a perfectionist and have to get every detail right, with the effect that I don't share a lot of stuff that I do.
Here I recorded the first voice…
Classic jazz was my father’s choice at home ,us kids knew all the greatest horn players . This is for Dad .
Les Paul gold top with p -90 ‘s. Fender jazz bass .

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
Have you ever felt like it was YOU who were the problem? If you haven't, then you're missing out on one of the purest forms of self loathing that humanity has to offer. This is dedicated to the fine soul who actually did find something lovable…
I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get.

Ohhh ... lovely intertwining of mando and low whistle. You set a beautiful mood right in the first few measures.
Comments made by Greg Connor
I like the chords and that 12 string. That echo in the end is priceless.
You are cooking with this! I love it.
I love those jazzy moves. Great imagery describing the balancing act that some relationships go through. That was fun!
Wow! I really like this. I hear the "Wife" earning her 1/3 Royalty. You added some GREAT new lyrics and that chorus sounds fantastic. I like the addition of the second guitar in strategic spots (need our friends). Well done Roger!

Ohhhhh ..... that’s smooth!
Nice picking and good lyrics
Reminds me a lot of Robert Sumlin.
Unique with a few fun twists like “we still don’t know how long to wait .... forever”. Love it
Great blues vibe on this one.
Excellent
Love it!
Nice clear recordings and excellent groove.
Good stuff. It's easy to slip into this music.
I like your style! Good song performed by talented musicians

This gets my feet tapping! Great Vocal supported by solid instrumentation. It's fun to hear you again!
Excellent song for the time! Very unique sound and feel.
It’s like finding the surprising soft side of some scruffy old characters
Sounds like you guys are having fun! Good song, and yes it does remind me a little of the Monkees.
