A long time ago (high school, actually) I went to a dance and witnessed a girl trying to catch the attention of a boy. The memory inspired this song.
Enjoy.

Good way to put the phenomenon into words ER.

This is from the classic warning tale when greed overcomes reason.

Well you did it again.
Ruined such a good thing.
We had it all in hand.
Might live like a king.
You just could not wait,
Could not follow the plan.
And we…

This one is loosely based on the Frog and the Princess. What if the Frog was really a man but with a less than perfect face? If beauty is only skin deep, why is ugly to the bone? Can't someone less attractive be beautiful inside?

I've been listening to a good bunch of yours this evening, most of the King Arthur's Knight set and selections from everywhere else. I was too busy listening to type any comments!
I love how you seem to be able to take anything and everything and turn it into a song. I've kind of learnt something here, not sure what it is yet, but many thanks!
One day I happened along a photo of the painting "Boy Blue" (I think Renoir did it) and the words to this song came into my head. I can't find the lyric page right now, but I'll add it later. This is about a man who has been manipulated by his…
This is a song about losing a friend. It was written after I attended her funeral. I am the type of artist given to bouts of self-examination, and this song is a result of one of those bouts.

What if Sleeping Beauty was visited by a couple of fortune hunters? And what if those fortune hunters got into an argument? Colin Garvey did a super job with this song, and I raise a glass to him. Many thanks to you, my friend.

Here's another one with the honkey tonk style of piano. I wrote this song some time ago using my usual mix of guitars, then decided to see what it might sound like using the piano. The new instrument gave the song an entirely different sound…

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…

Hey Terry, good song. Ah, a lesson to be learnt in there. Ex friend of yours? Nice backing vocals too.
What a great classic groove! w;-)
Clever stuff mate. Reminds me of Julian Cope a little. Are you the sax player as well? Skills!

Good song Terry, well performed. Nice gentle music with great backing vocals. Gainsborough! Gorgeous painting!
it's very pleasing to the ear !
Like the mute guitars
thumbs up. most enjoyable.. works well chaps
Most enjoyable track here Terry and Colin sings it really well.
Great song of fallen angels
I like this one, the music is really cool too.
This is wonderful! Great song, lovely vocal. Very, very nice!
This one is fun Terry, I like your lyrics.
Good song Stilts! Most enjoyable!
Cool stuff. All these King Arthur's songs are pretty interesting.
CooL, ER. Ian Drury sings nursery rhymes!
Great octave guitar riff at 3 minutes.

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
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. 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
