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.

Sometimes Boys/Men are clueless, myself included. Maybe that's why women have been shaping us for centuries.
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…

Don't I look good?
Don't I look fine?
They found the perfect fabric for me.

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.

The Stones didn't sing about me.

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…
The lyrics for this song were inscribed on the headstone when the legendary character Tom Thumb died. Inge did the vocals for this song and did a wonderful job. The harmonies, along with the a capella intro and coda, are hers, and take the song…

Hey Bo.

This has several riffs that remind me of one of my favorite guitarists: Robin Trower. I have several of his CD's from the 70's, and you play as well as he did.

A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.
I have a great idea up in my head

We'll tie the dog up to the sled

For someone who had the full sized G.I. Joe's as a kid, and fought with my brother using them, or shoes, or sticks, or whatever was handy, Joe got plenty of action. But since we had no sister, Joe didn't get any other kind of action. He was sad about that.
Good song, sir.

Little did she know she would miss out on great love songs. :)
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!

So you had some pretty strange babysitters, too? You know you did. ER
So are you a big fan of 1984? Conspiracy theories? Are you taking prozac? Or, are you on to something? ER
Great backbeat on this song. Love the organ. Where are my dancin' shoes? ER
Funny song. Good luck on the next drawing. ER
I like your interpretation of this song. Found myself singing along. Well done. ER

You naughty boy, you! And I wish I'd thought of that. ER

You play cards like I do! LOL Love the song. ER
Love this song. The harmonies are the best. ER
I'll have to listen to this again. The first few notes blew my ears away. ER
Bouncy, toe tapping tune you have here. Like it a lot! ER
Another good one. The guitar accompaniment is very different than I would have expected. Very nice indeed. ER
Very nice, Keith. Loved it. ER
Love the piano work on this. Very well done. ER
I know how you feel. I'm day to day as well. Nice accoustic song. ER
Love the harmonies the most on this one. The guitar work was good, too. ER
Unusual take on Jefferson Airplane, to be sure. Nice restrained vocals and guitar work. Well done. ER
