#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
Wow..A herculean effort, this showcases your growth in arranging a song as well as any professional studio out there. Good song and amazing song crafting
Last one for the Cherry Pie festival.
Don't mind me, I'm goofing on my WG alter-ego.
If your unaware of my Gunslinging, Wall of Voodoo, Ennio Morricone,
Good, Bad, and Ugly, Fistful of guitars influences, you may NOT like this spaghetti…
FEEL THE TIME
Feel the time is rushing by,
I feel the time is near
Feel the time is crushing down,
I feel the time is here
That is how the world goes round,
that is how it goes
Just a question, when and how,
and that no one knows…
Yup. I'm having a freakin' great time with this wee little tune.
Some classic WG for ya'll. - Raw and loud. :)
I'm working on a spaghetti west version as well.
Watch this space. I might publish it.
Thanks again Greg.
Enjoy Cherry…
Here is my version of Greg's Cherry Pie...I took a little liberty with it and recorded a whole new song.....I think Greg said that would be ok!!
Tried to put the Sweet Ronnie Cream Cheese Mojo on it....good gawd!!!!
This is a fun idea Greg has, and I can't wait to hear more.
He sent me an acoustic and vocal track and asked me to complete it.
I stayed up most of the night jammin' it. :)
It's a bit loose around the edges because I didn't work anything…
Love it! Great instrumentation, and the occassional harmony makes it sparkle.

WRECK OF NINETEEN THREE
People listen to me tell you
Of the story of a man
Roamed the country in a school bus
People called him Danville Dan…
Lyrics, vocals, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and acoustic bass by Merry Bear. Fabulous and greatly appreciated harmonica performance by "Minneapolis" Mark Imsdahl.
MINNEAPOLIS MARK
He's Minneapolis Mark
He's got that magic spark

MAD AND SAD AND SCARED
I just want to get by for a friend
This is not how I would want to end
Mad and sad and scared
In everything I've shared
That is all I leave behind me
This is all I am
Hope I find a way
To kiss you every day
That…
WALKING ON THE MOON
See the Earth on horizon
Watch the Earth as she's arising
I hope the living are gazing
I hope the people are loving
Feel like I'm walking on the moon
I think I will be on there soon
My body's going to set me free…
Vocals by Greg Connor, lyrics by Connor and Merry Bear, music by Bear.
And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…
