Sunshine fill my soul
Let the blues be the first to go
Sunshine can’t complain
If life shows us a little rain
Chorus
Sunshine through the window
At first morning’s light
All the stars fade away
When sunshine gets so bright
When sunshine…
Brace yourself! This is my latest Song Challenge entry for Carl Unbehaun’s Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show: Write a song about Groundhog’s Day, a Ground Hog or Woodchuck.

Like it. I just read Colleen's comment and realised that I was bopping my head along with the tempo too! Loved that "oh yeah" at the end of the bridge.

The puppies and I really like this one. I turned it on and they stopped to listen and started bopping their heads along with the upbeat tempo. Love the happy visuals!

Came back for another! Wait!!! It feels like I’ve heard this before. Woodchucks!!! (Lame groundhogs day reference)
Love this song. And glad you made it without breaking something

There is a story behind this song. I'll leave it at that for now.

Some time back, you left me a note on a song, Kingston Recliner:Destiny . . . You know, your verse might make a nice bridge to really capture the essence of “Destiny”. I just saw it and am wondering what "Destiny" is.
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"
http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son
Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I started out this morning thinking about Norm’s fantastic percussion and came across this song. Norm let me use one of his percussion tracks to fill out the song. He has an album of 94 collaborations on his Alonetone Page.
This tune is one of my top ten favorites of all time.
It's originally performed by The Mike Curb Congrigataion and used as a music track for the movie "Kelly's Heroes" starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Salavas, Caroll O'Conner, Don Rickles, Donald…
In case you are in the mood today to kick some ass with Mike and me.
Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail Drum, Bongos, and (of course) Cowbell.
Concept=>Drive=>Plan=>Engagement.
6/8
I uploaded this one earlier in the month with a rough track. Colin W. and Greg Connor helped me improve the arrangement and we recorded it at Winterland Studios this past week with some amazing equipment and awesome sound mixing support from…
This one has the stuff. I purposely left it alone for a few days so I could come back and listen to it "*fresh*".
I think it's going to be the star of the Minnesota Songwriters compilation album.
This tune began my Instrumental journey and starts my 1st CD "Escape to Clifford". Using acoustic guitars and voicings, I hoped to create a musical soundscape.
John and i are in the process of trying to write a blues album and here is our first attempt to throw at your ears. Hope you enjoy! Johns musicianship is Bloody excellent i just hope i can keep up...
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
Released via CD Baby this past week. The full version is available to stream on my site: www.robertpalomo.com/corporation_blues
I'm embedding the video here below.
I love it!
*. . . . Been there / Done That . . . .*
Now we have a song to describe the experienced, kinda like what Woody Guthrie did for us.
Your songs are always good Robert!

Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.
The old tin geetar...
Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
I wrote the lyrics and melody to this song a week or so ago when I was feeling that unsettling disconnected feeling we all get from time to time when we're missing the people we love.... Then I gave myself the challenge to try a few things with…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
What a toe tapper.... I love the lyrics and tunes. You can just be the sun shine getting brighter and brighter as you sing this tune.
That's really fun! What a great topic for a song ha ha. Well done.
Really fun song and you guitar playing is amazing :) The lyrics very uplifting ....needing that!

ooh , a little bit of the Beatles in there to my ear , love it ......
another winner...great chorus and I like the bridge!
Good stuff ....
Came back for another! Wait!!! It feels like I’ve heard this before. Woodchucks!!! (Lame groundhogs day reference) Love this song. And glad you made it without breaking something
too funny...great chorus!! ...... you win
OMG! Hilarious!!!!! True story? Just a pigment of your imagination maybe? Woodchuck hallucinations indicate a need for MORE WINE!
Came back for another listen. Love this so much. I can imagine you doing a whole album about historic subjects. I’d definitely listen to that!
Amazing lyrics. Wonder song and nice tribute.
Love this song. Nice feel, great lyrics.
Put together nicely.
So clever Greg, a peach of a song ...... maybe a Giant Peach .....
You are amazing! What a great subject and cool to have this lovely look at history set to your beautiful music. I really love the chorus!

Comments made by Greg Connor
Great contribution on both your parts!
Hang in there Paul.
What a find . . . A real treat to listen to, and a wonderful message.
Very refreshing! I've been doing a little work lately with a music producer who is using a drum machine on everything. This is much better.
This one has the stuff. I purposely left it alone for a few days so I could come back and listen to it "*fresh*". I think it's going to be the star of the Minnesota Songwriters compilation album.
Beautiful piece of music. I like all the acoustic tones and textures.
O M G That's the way to kick it! OH OH . . . I just got to the lead guitar break. JOHN, you are impressive! You guys need to do this again!
I stopped by this morning for another listen. Beautiful craftsmanship!
I love it! *. . . . Been there / Done That . . . .* Now we have a song to describe the experienced, kinda like what Woody Guthrie did for us. Your songs are always good Robert!
I really like Colin's bass and supporting vocal on this song! Softening the third verse was an inspired idea. You got the magic Colleen!
That was fun! Thanks for including me. This is a wonderful song! The song and recording combined is something that you can be proud of.
Nice combination of percussion and classical guitar intro. Lead guitar is a great accent.
Intoxicating! I love it!
This hits the spot! I agree with previous comments, Byrds, Kinks, something from a long lost era. The song feels very familiar to me. Very inviting.
Lovely . . . Lovely . . . Lovely . . .
I have had days that could support a background track like this.
Nice sounds
Sounds like you are having fun! It's always fun to get a new toy.
I'm smiling and laughing all the way through! You certainly know how to capture the moment.
. . . . . . Damn Colleen! You are leaving us in the dust!
