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!
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
Hey Keith - Just stopped by for a listen and went through the whole album before I noticed. Very nice songs here. My favorites were Brandon McCarthy and Tee Ball. I also liked Circles and Seasons because I feel the same way sometimes.
Will be back to listen to more.
Regards.

I used to blast this song so loudly in my little room - when that chorus hits, and that huge tidal wave of guitars, it is just breathtaking. And there is nothing I can say about the voice and aura of Armando Louder that hasn't already been said.
DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified.
This wasn't meant to be Ring of Fire but that's how it wound up.
I have been wanting to trash Ring of Fire and the words just seem to fit this simple 1-4-5…
Love the way this song builds in the beginning. How long did it take to build that rhythmic section in the middle? I wouldn't be done with it yet. This is the kind of song that one can get lost in. Well done.

This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…

Hey everybody, come out in the streets now
Hey everybody, let's have a good time
Bring along your cooler, there's good food to eat now…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
This is probably the most tender song I've heard from you. I have felt the same way about a woman, and prayed that moment would never pass even though I knew it would.
Nicely done.

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
I can hear this being played in a smoke-filled bar, and see semi-drunken patrons bouncing on the dance floor while the song plays. Great song for a live band.

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.

I like the guitar sound on this.
Especially like the lyrics, Terry and your musical back up is great.

Very nice! Love the melody and the harmonies. Excellent. ER
Excellent song and vocals. The harmonies and backing vocals add a great deal to the song. Well done. ER
I like this song the most of the three latest you've posted. Very nice guitar playing, vocals, and atmosphere to the song. ER
Another in a long list of songs I wished I'd written. Well done, both of you. ER
I am very sure neither Johnny or June ever envisioned their song done like this! Love the re-interpretation. ER
Lovely song. I wish I could play and sing as well. ER
Love your vocals, the guitar work, and the harmonies. Wonderful ending! Truly great song! ER
This is a new take on the song. I know the tune well, and did my best to harmonize. Even the cat howled for me to shut up! Nice tune. ER
Wonderful snappy tune! I like it. Singin' along as I try to type . . . uh, did I spelll that right? ER
Have you been reading my diary? LOL Very self-revealing lyrics. I hear you, man. ER

My entire 2010 RPM Album had songs along the same line as your lyrics. I agree completely with what you're saying. ER
Truth is stranger than fiction! ER
Love the layering of the vocal tracks on this. Much better than I could ever do. ER
Nice ballad. I like it a lot. ER
Nice live feel to this. Well done song. ER
Love the steel drums. Nice tune. ER
