Today I learned 2 things: 1) Mick Jagger turns 66 tomorrow (a horrifying thought, to be sure), and 2) one of my loop CDs contains vocals from a man who does a good job imitating him. Soooo, with some appreciation for Mick's accomplishments, and…
Another older song, this is my attempt to sound like one of my all-time favorites, Robin Trower. While he never used horns in his songs, I like them (being a former sax player), so I used them in this song to enhance the sound. Let me know what…
This song speaks to a dichotomy I've noticed about the digital age. While businesses certainly have a lot to say to their customers, and use all kinds of electronic means to reach them, the same is not true of the individual. Now that we have…
I use texting in the studio to avoid phones ringing in my mic :) Otherwise, I don't use a cell. I prefer face to face. Expressions and body language are important and can not be perceived by emoticons.
Good subject to write about.

I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....
For the Folk Fest...

Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
There are two main reasons you still hear 70's music on the radio. 1) the copyright has run out and the station doesn't have to pay royalties any more, and 2) the music is better than everything else out there. Your music falls into the second category.

My old buddy and collaboration partner Phil Close joined me on what is at or near the last song for my last album. I wrote the song and sang--Phil did everything else you hear. Dance in the New Year.
Dance, Little Sister.
Dance till you…
This was a large, somewhat unwieldy internet-based blues collaboration from several years back. I wrote and sang the lyric. AE pub collaboration!....lyrics and vocals by Tangmo harmonica by Tony(T.D. Brown)...bed by Scott(Riffmaster)....guitarst…
I used to drive a slant 6. Dodge Coronet 440 made in 1967. Slow and heavy and 12 miles to the gallon. Good thing I was in high school at the time. I was just glad to have wheels.
Nice blues here. Love the voice box/bag guitar work and the harmonica.

Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…
The B side to Dad's father's day present. This is an instrumental celebration of his 45 years in the printing industry, and an acknowledgement that while other kids got bedtime stories, I got the history of lithography..
Fathers often find ways of giving a part of themselves to their sons, and they do so in ways that can be baffling to the sons. Perhaps your father was doing that.
My dad was an engineer and a private pilot. He never told me a bedtime story, but he took my brother and me flying as often as he could. It was his way of showing his love.
Nice song, too.

So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something...
I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.
KL: Vocals, lyrics, left side rhythm guitar and picking
MTC: Lead guitar, bass…
Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.
Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…
A space and time oddity to be sure. Very well done. Being a Doctor Who fan, I can imagine the good Doctor thinking this as the Tardis spins out of control.

Comments on Endicott Road's stuff
Thank you for your comments about our music.Like this song,very nice melody and back vocals.
Ooh check out that break! Is that you playing guitar?! Great!
One thing good about girlfriends, they do inspire us to write great tunes like this one. Nice work. Classic E.R.
Lovely melody, Terry!
Another not so quiet victory from your not so ordinary life. Lots of cool guitar parts too.
This is a really good track, Terry. I love the way it bounces along and thought the lyrics were great.
Like the jolly arrangement, and the quirky synth brass break!
I'm up, I'm dancing around. Another fun tune from Endicott Road......
Well done E.R. I like this one too! Faved.
Oh man, this is really cool.........
Nice up-tempo track, Terry. Optimistic with the feel good factor.
Mighty fine guitar work there!
I never heard of loop vocals. I must be as old as Mick. :)
:D Me too man, me too.
This is a foot tapper. The horns work well with the guitars. We're rockin' now! One Mo' time.........
I use texting in the studio to avoid phones ringing in my mic :) Otherwise, I don't use a cell. I prefer face to face. Expressions and body language are important and can not be perceived by emoticons. Good subject to write about.
Love the chorus. Hope it works out for you man!
I like this E.R. a happy little tune, but the lyrics reminded me that my ship is still at sea! It should be here when I'm 64 :D
Great rhythm and lyrics, Terry. Cool instrumental break too!
Sad but true... w;-)

Very nice. I liked the song very much. ER
Very inventive with the sounds. I never thought to include a sound like this in the rhythm of a song. Very nice. ER

This is the first song I am playing on my new refurbished laptop. Very good song, sir. ER
Very good song. Found my feet dancing along with the tune. ER
Very nice. Very easy to listen to. ER
I've been listening to your songs, and I like your music. The guitar work on this gives the song a memorable melody. Well done. ER
Very nice rendition of the Leonard Cohen song. Like the harmonies, too. ER

I like this. Haven't heard it before. Sorry I missed it. Very nice. ER
Sounds like Leo's Adventure includes concertinas and cats. Interesting piece. ER
Very nice finger picking, sir. I could never do as well. With my fat fingers it would sound like my cat was chasing a mouse through the sound hole. ER

I listened to all of our songs and liked them very much. Looking forward to the time when you consider them finished. ER
You're right. This is rediculously good. ER
I liked it. There's a much longer song in there somewhere, I'm sure. And I'm sure you'll make something very good out of this. ER
This also ranks high on my list. Well done, sir. ER
I like this one a lot, too. ER
This is one of my favorites from you. When I need a lift I listen to it and play air guitar and feel much better. ER
