Holy wow, now that's really something. right up there with anything in the profession. A little male baritone could be nice in there too. Still powerful as industry standards go.You all have hit on a sound that possibly will make you some money.
"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.

Wish good fortune come your way
A passing glance, I’m on my way
Trading smiles

No idea what went wrong
For most of us, it’s been too long

Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…
My goodness, my listens this evening have been such a pleasure.
A beautiful song, and of course he does Greg! Look at him, isn't he gorgeous?
Cool banjo!
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…
I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…
More ambient experimentation with my fretless guitar and Roland GR20. This time I used some sounds from the magnetic pickups as well as the midi pickup. Kind of a cheesy synth patch I know, but it was working for me!
This is a collaboration with Greg Connor (check his song list here) Greg wrote this about his Heritage Millennium guitar and Heritage guitars company in Kalamazoo. He sent me his vocals and rhythm guitar track and I added lead & bass guitars…
This was completely written by Andy...he wanted to enter this in a song writing contest for a Humane Society thing in England...the song had to be about a dog's poor life and death alone.....I think he did a great job all I added was the guitar…
Well I see it's that time of the year again, where did that year go .......So here's an old one from 2007. Got my Grandson to sing on it, something to embarrass him with when he's older. He's 10 next week, so he was 5 at the time. Bless !!!
My father's Uncle Roy ran shoe repair shop in Mt Pulaski from 40's till in the 80's or so.

I step out of the car
I don't know where we are
Somewhere between a planet
A planet and a star
I never dreamed I'd end up
in a place like this
The Multnomah Falls is up the Columbia Gorge
Somewhere between Portland…
Closure The look in your Eyes
Took me by supprise
back to a better place
Where I could feel
Oh how we breathed the air feels much lighter now.
You talked of us.
We spoke of trust
I heard your words today
A promise i'll keep
if you should…
I got me a new mic and a pre-amp and I picked up the Jumbo Eko (I'll do this again when my fingertips have recovered). I tried to do finger picking when I was a teen, but didn't pursue it as it seemed like too much hard work at the time. Today…
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

My attempt at Folk music !!!! I blame Seth Lakeman, after seeing him in concert this popped out. Been meaning to re-record it for months, now seemed a good time....... as we survived the Cruise !!!!

Really makes my imagination run wild. Nice going guys!
Etherial and thought provoking. It gives me that sense of drifting. I think Sister had the idea . . . *"Filmscore!"*
Very Pretty Roger!
*GOOD GAWD !!!* Stopped by for another listen

If this is bored, then we're the benefactors. Beautiful melody.
Yes, sad song, but well written. You guys did a nice job on it. I especially liked the intro.
This is special . . . nice duet.
It's fun to catch up to you again Verne! You are a great story teller.
A complete thought in just over a minute. Nice little gem. I had to press "*PLAY*" twice. . . still hungry after the first time through.
Nice refreshing sound.
That's really pretty Jane! It draws a person in.
I stopped by for an extra listen this morning. I like the Pan Flute here. Nice touch.
Oh yes . . . is this a true story?
This might be my favorite so far. Nice presentation Terry!
I love the bending notes. Very happy music.
Beautiful
Interesting sound that you have found.
Nice going Amy. You have a great voice!
Ahoy! I like the open sea flavor too. Well done!
