Hmmm... MY GarageBand doesn't have a tuba sound. I'd have used it if it did! Good choice for a country solo instead of the usual weeping pedal steel! :-D

Oh what a great song to listen to on this day of -45 degrees below here in Minnesota. You two do an especially beautiful job presenting the music and the thought. :) c
From a idea born in the mind of Greg Connor, who wrote half the words. I supplied the tune,at his behest. Perhaps someday he will take it up and add his accents to it.
At one point, I had a version recorded with much better guitar -- at least I thought I did -- but I can't find it now...
Another one of those tunes that kept growing after the demo was laid down, this song now has twice as many verses as you…
This song is inspired by the struggles currently going on in Syria....here are the lyrics:
Out in the streets, an awakening has begun
You brandish posters, they point a gun
Scrawled on the pavement with blood and tears

In the old days you could dodge the collectin man if your money wasn't right.Nowadays they can remotely shut off your lights,cable,internet-put your stuff out on the curb. So this is a bittersweet trip down nostalgia lane.
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
New York Times, in an article today
"Hamburgers in Paris!" Its on the front page
Everybody wants it. McDonalds in Paris
Everybody wants it
Has the taste of the forbidden. Illicit and subversive.
You can print it out. You can write it cursive…
My "banjo-centric" arrangement of this old minstrel show tune. I recorded it for backing tracks for my live set. I kind of wanted a fiddle solo, but I don't play fiddle. So in the middle there's a little "fiddle synthesizer" - just a couple of…

I like the rattle… makes me think that this peson is a real snake. And the tuba cracks me up, too. Send the jerk a copy

You, sir, and an incurable romantic. Don't seek to get cured.

Another good one. You're on a roll Terry!
Good Story!
The Full Moon affects me too! I enjoyed your lyrics here.
Reminds me of some of my favorite people . . . ZZ Top
This is GOOD.
Nice guitar licks.
My blood is pumping Now!
NICE ... You really hit the Mark!
Smooth . . . Thanks for showing how it's done.
Nice guitar playing.
Great song, and I'm very happy to not be able to relate to the subject matter.
A heartfelt song with plenty of raw emotion. I agree with Steve! One of your finest.
I like that Drop D, fragmented chord sound. The harmonics were a nice touch too.
This is incredible Kirk. I hope you have more of these recordings. They're fantastic.
This is GREAT! You're making me hungry.
Beautifully played. You can really get some nice tone out of that guitar.
Now . . . my feet are tapping! Nice Picking Robert!
Good harmony, and good recreation of an old classic.
