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…

2010 24 hour challenge. Record a 24 minute song in less then 24 hours.
Work has been so crazy music has been taking a back seat. I might have to try this concept again to get anything done on the creative side of things. :)
Listened to the whole album and heard a mix of Pink Floyd and punk and, dare I say it, some psychadelic influences. Interesting mix to say the least. Will be back for more.

Guitar by Andy Samford, featuring Clarke McMurray and Bob Sorace on backing vocals. Clarke also plays the cool little keyboard riff.
This one is all about writers' block and RPM.

Just a little cover tune I did in preparation for last year's live RPM Challenge album "Letters."
Nylon string Yamaha travel guitar, vocals, and one mic... Missed notes and all.
Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…
I wrote this song for my beloved doughter.

Fairy, you’re a fairy and very very pretty
I call you Coockie, you are my coockie cause you were born to eat
Choosing your right hand as your best friend
You…
My man,
I wrote this song for my husband, who I love very much.
He is so special to me.
He makes me feel myself.
And I love him the way he is.

My Man written feb 2013
You walked straight into my life
But you could’t know cause…
Leave something for me,
I wrote this song for my dear friends who are close to me, who I love and respect.

Listened to the entire album and liked each song. BTW - it's pronounced Ro-day-o drive. And how can you take the bus to Hawaii? If you can get there by bus, you must be from an alternate reality.
Well done.

This just sort of fell out of my guitar as I was finishing up recording Tuolumne (so it is also in super-weird CGDGAC tuning). And it's named because what caught my eye as I was searching for a name was a bass guitar pick with an eagle on it.
Listened to your entire album and gawd to I wish I could play like you do! I can strum but I just can't fingerpick. Well done, sir. This last one seems to have some air of whimsey to it. This seems to show your sense of humor. I liked it.
Good music, 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!

Love the groove no matter what year it was recorded. ER
I agree with your lyrics wholeheartedly. Nice funk groove, sir. ER
This is like the overture to a rock opera. Reminds me vaguely of Quadrophenia and Tommy. ER
