Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
I was anticipating 3 times as much, 4 times as much... but then, you know, the mark of a true artist is knowing when to stop. Twice as much is enough for any man I guess.
all I can say is "oooo". Another good one, Greg. I think that you could've added some of your famous head shaking, though... right after the part about all your charms.

Lyrics:
River run away with me
I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow
Closer to the…
(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…

The most beautiful, gorgeous Sea Shanty I've ever hear. So haunting, chilling, gripping... I'm in awe. The instrumentation, the melody -- you're a marvelous talent. Too real! Wow -- just wow!

This one is my favorite and chills me every time I hear it.
It never, ever, gets old.

Thanks Regs for making my crappy music in to great songs.
Enjoy!!!
Sunday morning and she’s gone
Sunday morning all day long
She’s gone
Now she’s gone I don’t feel a thing
I’m so happy i’m free again
She’s gone

This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

he's not stolen clean away by a fast car
but…
There’s a fire in your eyes
It burns, it bleeds
A raging wind inside
knocks me off my feet
You light up like a sunbeam
And you run through my bloodstream
All the time
Your light, it blinds
My sight, my eyes
I’m struck by lightning
You’re forked…
Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!
Uploaded just in time for the American Thanksgiving holiday, this is a kids song that can also be appreciated by the grownup crowd.
Written by my brother David who has a real knack for this sort of songwriting. It's our first long-distance…
This is an instrumental, really 2 songs. The 1st part is funky with Tom Pecard on sax. The 2nd part is a carnival, polka thing inspired by Wisconsin. Hope you dig it.
addressing the dividing disparity. in earnings, this one is based roughly on "railroading on the great divide" I stopped a little short so others may add verses of their own.
Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath
3-12, just uploaded a new version of this with guitar- and some other changes
Interesting subject matter in a world filled with high achievers buying their way to prosperity.
I like the message here. I think we need more of that.
Beautiful.
I'm curious what you are using for your wind instruments. It sounds similar to an Akai Professional EWI4000S. I have been admiring them from afar for a while now.
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…

Very Pretty story telling. I've been to Deadwood. What a place to spend eternity.
Nice guitar work.
What a great song! Nice job on this one.
Great Song! It reminds me of one of my heros, David Bromberg.
Beautiful. It just carries the listener away.
That interplay between piano and slide guitar is like "Beauty and the Beast". What a great combination!
A lot of passion here. Nice going.
Now that's music! First Class John !!!
That's pretty neat!
One of my favorite songs.
This is really pretty! I love that keyboard/harpsichord sound on this.
This one was a treat. I'll be thinking of "Turkey's Lament" on Thursday when I say "Please pass the Tur....potatoes"
Less is More. It's amazing what can be accomplished with "No Name" guitar, old harmonica, and a playful frame of mind.
Nice playing and great sounds out of that guitar.
This one really captured my attention.
There is that Woody Guthrie sound again! Very nice Terry.

Wonderful easy listening that develops all through the piece.
What a nice collaboration between the two of you.
