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.
ER
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
Think this came out really nice. Faved. Is that allowed??
nice intro. sounds like 2006 was a tuff year for love
classic song about love. usually time to move on. people dont ever really change. some nice changes in the progression tim
another nascar fan? nice playing. clever words
boy we could all use a little lesson in love if there was such a thing.
love the stereo field on this
That sound on the guitar is great. Almost 40's blues sounding.
hey ER! good feel, KMA
Great songwriting here (as well as on all your tracks). Very Nice!
Nice track :)
Another nice one ER. Really like the arrangement on his one.
Good song ER.

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
