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 would be much more likely to switch the call alert on my phone on, if I liked talking on it...but I guess that's a different point. :-) The only really great form of communication is non-verbal anyway. :-)
This is the first song on the first CD I ever compiled. You'll notice a piano as the primary instrument, and extensive use of horns. I wrote it years ago, and play it when I need some cheering up. Hope you like it.

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 is a lullaby I wrote for my oldest daughter when she was a toddler. Some think it's sweet, and I appreciate that, but I wrote so I could also sing it to her when she wouldn't shut the f*ck up and go to bed!
Original song: from the album, TheSongOfTheDay.com - September. This song got its start as an instrumental, but ended up with the record for the most vocal tracks of all. The title "Just Go Back" referred to one of Ryan's comments when recording…
Too bad you didn't come up with lyrics for this. I would have love to hear what you guys come up with. Something twisted and funny, no doubt.
Nice instrumental.

Field Fresh - Texas Cow Patties are yummy little milk chocolate carmel peanut patties that come in this neat little wooden box..... Not really cow shit!
Kickin' off RPM this year with instrumentals.
I don't feel much like singing. Or trying for that matter.
I may put some vox on this when I'm feeling a bit better.
Enjoy!
I don't think it's too dark. It's honest. It shows a kid that he or she can be comfortable with themselves, particularly while alone. I've heard it said that you can't be with anyone if you can't be alone by yourself.

Very nice song. Not as soppy as some other songs I've heard on the radio in the States. Maybe it's your voice, backed just by a guitar or two, that makes it less soppy.
Well done.

Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. It’s almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the song. It has this tone…
More on the "Freak" end of the Orphans and Freaks designation. Most of the time I'm making music for myself, and this one just makes me happy, no matter how hard I try to resist.
One of the joys of listening to music on the internet is encountering music that sets off chimes of inspiration in our own minds. This holds especially true when the one doing the inspiring is a friend. Bruce Lesisko uploaded a song called Flyfinger…

Lovely melody, Terry, and nice harmonies to boot!
Good one, Terry, great music and harmonies.
Yes, love the jangly music...very nice!
Love those guitar parts!
The moody sax and finger picking go really well together here.
Crazy days - great song!
Tip of the hat to the back up band :)
Nice vibrato! Great delivery.
Great lyrics, Terry, and I really like the harmonious backing singing. By the way, did your boss go bust?
I really like the piano, Terry, it quite surprised me, very nice!
Great guitar work! The horns are a nice touch too
Truly funky guitar there, Terry.
I totally dig the guitars. Creative and playful, nice variety of sounds. Like the horns too (I'm also a former sax player)
What sympathetic backing, Terry, suits Tess's beautiful voice.
It's lovely Terry, I like your harmonies as well.
this is so cool you remind me of randy newman! sooooo cool!
you've got a great voice. keep on singin!
I like the guitar sound on this.
Especially like the lyrics, Terry and your musical back up is great.

Too bad you didn't come up with lyrics for this. I would have love to hear what you guys come up with. Something twisted and funny, no doubt. Nice instrumental. ER
I solve that problem by not tipping at all. At least until I'm about to tip over! Nice song. ER
That's what I do. How did you find out? Another song about work that hits the target squarely in the center! ER
Love it. Makes me laugh just listening to it. Wait, why is my girl looking at me like that? ER
Wouldn't this position be held by, say, a Justice of the Peace? Perhaps someone of the clergy? Love the song. Made me chuckle. ER
This was always one of my favorites. Love the lyrics. And, yes, I've eaten almost of the cereals you mention at one time or another. Well done. ER
I like this. Nice atmosphere to the song, and the echoing guitar solo is great. ER
Do you have them with a serving of Rocky Mountain Oysters? Or are Texas Cow Pies somehow different than, say, Ohio road apples? Nice song. ER
If this song is peanut butter, maybe your vocals would be jelly? Just wondering. Good instrumental. ER
This Chipmunks has invaded your website! Quick, call the gerbils in tuxedos! Loved the song. Another good laugh. ER
Hey! You described me perfectly. How did you know? Just kidding. This is a good children's song. ER

Loved it. Laughed out loud at times. ER

Disturbingly true. I'm not sure this is the stuff of nursery rhymes. I don't think I'll sing this to my kids. ER
Just stopped by for a listen or two. Liking what I hear. Well done. ER
Hey Gary - Just stopped by for a listen to a few of your tracks. Keep up the good work! ER
I found myself making up lyrics to go with this song. Is there a vocal track to it? Am I missing something? ER
Sounds a bit like freeform jazz to me. Sounds good. ER
Very different that your other songs. I like it. ER
