It’s a keeper! You are making lemonade out of lemons. My friend Roger Harris (oldfolks2) from Portsmouth sent me a video of the Eunice destruction. Your song captures the essence.
Well...This is song #10 for my 2022 RPM challenge- the final track for my "album". It's a bit like two songs that found each other somehow. That makes for a very long track! eek. Thank you to everyone who has been listening to my songs...it…
It’s been a fun February listening to both you and Andrew Russe achieve your goals. You have ended up with 10 songs, well crafted and recorded in a way that makes them interesting.
Well done!

Cute and fun! Love the guitar and the lyric makes me smile!
Nice and crisp Greg. Lovely chorus and whistle. Have you got a cold? No, it doesn't detract from the song, I just wondered.
This one is so good ...now you have to write Soccer Mom ...the sequel!!!!!
I have so many memories in my Chevy Astro. This song is awesome.
Lovin your mix. Gotta get a bicycle built for two,so I can get people asking about the empty seat. Give em somethin to talk about.
A freind of mine still drives an old 1970's mini van. Its really small and blue?
Vickie says thru laughter tears," There is just something about a MiniVan man" Hell No, I m' walking.
If this van is rockin'
Warm and dreamy. Saved and Fav'ed.
Great work...love the harmonies on the chorus this one's a hit for sure!!!

I think I dated this one. I like the guitar lick. The song really moves along well.
My feet are tapping!
Ooooh ooooh oh Mama! Love it
An enjoyable listen, and a little different.
I like the shuffle and imagery. It has a soaring quality.
Sparse and beautiful
This is a good listen.
Good story
Wow, what a story. Beautiful music and recording.
Great song written about a horrific event. I never thought I’d see this kind of thing happen in the world.
Nice and jazzy. You sound like you are enjoying yourself. As for Barbara, word has it that she has been observing a full moon through the neighbor’s window.
Let’s hope you’re singing about Eunice who just blew in and out your life. Good riddance.

You are a smoking hot song writer these days. These are all great songs and an ispiration to the rest of us.
Great story telling. I love the Tattoo part. Some of those never wash off. Maybe that can be your next song.
Lovely.
I love it! Great title and topic for this song.
Great Folk flavored song and lyrics. It's nice to hear this kind of music. We need more of it.
You are on a ROLL One after another. You go girl !!!!!
