Love it! You're getting better and better with every song. The charging riff you have here reminds me a bit of the last few minutes of the song "Buckethead's TV Show" by Buckethead. (The downside to listening to as much music as I do is that everything reminds me of something else, haha).
Thanks Tom. I appreciate your comments, and I'm pleased that you listen so closely. I'm conscious that I don't have much of a voice, and I'm not very confident about singing. There is not much power or range there, and I've noticed that I'm kind of deeper and hoarser since being on some medicine this last few weeks. I wrote this lyric about a year ago, and I've been trying to fit a tune to it. Overall I guess I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I want my efforts to have a style that mixes different elements and don't sound too predictable or boring. Getting my lyrics to fit is my second biggest problem. - Ideally I'd like to find someone to sing for me! Thanks again : )
You quite skillfully merge different kinds of styles in this song. If I might offer a suggestion: it would have been nice if your vocals were a little higher in the mix near the beginning of the song -- I was trying to catch the lyrics but they were obscured by the music. Other than that one very minor critique, this is one of your strongest songs, Steve!
My light-hearted take on a serious issue.
Over- prescription of powerful and addictive drugs, and the unknown and (to some) worrying relationship between doctors and the drug companies.

I haven't heard this song. It sounds great though. You always surprise me with the range and amount of material you work with. I don't know how you have experienced so much music. Are you a hundred years old?
A distress call from space is picked up, and then a race to rescue the crew ensues. I have attempted to contrast the peace of space with the urgency and determination of the rescue mission, and it's eventual success.

This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…
Performed with National Baritone Guitar, Martin D-28, Morris Mandolin and Hohner EchoHarp.

I was having my share of PESS (post election stress syndrome) and headed to northern MN to shake it off and wrote this one while watching a beautiful quiet snowfall happen. I recorded it finally today on my little TASCAM that we often use around…

Thanks Tom. I try to vary it a bit and not be too predictable. Next time I'm going to do a longer tune than the usual two minutes, but I don't want it to become boring. We'll see.

Thanks Michael. I'm always thinking that I shouldn't make long songs in case listeners get bored and switch off.
This one ended well before I was ready... more of this please! Well done & thanks for sharing. ~Michael
ok you caught me, I was tapping my big toes

Great FUN!!!! Well done! So unique, and I listened through twice.

Lovely version. Emotional and well expressed and executed. Cool!
This is a new one for me. Nice melody, played and sung very well as usual.
Stretching out those vocal chords again Tom. Very good!
Thank you Tom. I'm trying!
Thanks proods and fairynuff!
Psychedelic and retro sound to this. I like it. Good job, Going Up and brother!
Thanks for that!
Thanks DJ UrSine. I'm happy that you listened and liked it.
Thanks Tom. I wanted to convey urgency and confusion in the song. Glad you like it. BTW - I must listen to some Beck.
Really nice. I wish it was longer. Lovely song Tom!
Good job Johnny! Glad you're back creating sounds again.
A Beatles cover! Love it Tom. Singing is great. I think you've done it justice buddy!
So original and different. Like the melody guys. Excellent song!
Like the arrangement and mandolin sounds great. Nice one Greg!
Lovely song Colleen. Great lyrics and wonderful singing.
Thank you Colleen
