Written for a song challenge to bring awareness to the flooding this past Spring in Australia.
The song was required to have the phrase "water is rising".

"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.
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster.

A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.

I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.

Nice production.
This is still one of my favorites!! Such a good idea and performance....
That harmonic player 97 that is really something. I like this one "Banjo Player is a lonely Man." I wish I could play like that...

Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Back for another listen. This goes well with coffee this morning. I feel like it's the sunrise singing to me.
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Another GREAT video!
Now I'm watching the video. It's nice to know creative people!
I Just found this now! What a riot. I love the interplay between banjo and guitar. You are my FAVORITE musician in Russia.
Yes ... That Jazzmaster is sounding good.
As Ron Rouch would say "Good GAWD" That's funny!
Delightful. Finally . . . Something to contemplate
George Orwell tried to warn us. Now . . . here we are. Nice way to put it into a song.
Beautiful voice and accompanyment -.. . KA0YCO
One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!
I stopped by for another listen. It's facinating.
A rich and full sound. Beautiful
You have a nice clean approach to recording. It's enjoyable to listen to. Good song!
I like that banjo. A nice *"Feel Good"* song.
Way to bark it out! I Love Love Love it. Great lyrics, Great lead guitar. You really drove it home!
You gotta love RPM. That's when the creativity shows itself. Nice one!
