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.

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…

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

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?
Enjoy.

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.
Lucifer is not my name.

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…
What if the three little pigs played a baseball game against the big bad wolf and his friends?

Something you don't often hear from me and that's
straight drummin'. On this track I left the
original L/R kit track because it just sounded
more raw and nasty. Listen close and you'll hear different levels on the high hat. Plus, you can…
Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
Anyway…
Nice blend of accoustic and electric on this song. The guitar solo near the end sounds like the player is just about to lose control. I liked it. Very good song.

Sorry I haven't been by to give your new songs a listen. This has a much harder edge than your earlier work. I like it. Suggestion: add some harmonies? I hear it in my head. Maybe it's the rx I had filled today. Maybe backing vocals? Just trying to help. Great tune here.

Another song in the works that I have never been happy with. Now that Mr. Tolar has me feeding raw meat to the Ibanez, this is the result. So, it's either a rocker, or I'm off my rocker!

My first Christmas original just off the presses with that cowboy, spaghetti western style.
Paul: Why don't you try Jingle Bells or something
Geas: Oh God,No, I hate the classics... that sucks......
Paul: Yea that does suck. Try emmmm, Oh Holy…
I like the harmonies in this song, and the lyrics. Between couples there is always that small part of each other that is still a mystery. Well done.

Another good one. I've never thought of St. Nick in quite the way you describe, though. You manage to make the jolly old elf sound menacing. It's like you think he's a pedophile. Eeeeeek! I'm going to screaming into the night. LOL

Very nice. I don't see myself ever being tired of hearing it. The guitar work was sterling, and your voice was clean and clear, as always. Well done.

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!

I thought the vocals went perfectly with this song. Well done. Love the harmonies most of all. ER
Nice song. Like the guitar work and the background melody of the synth. The lyrics are good, too. ER

Pretty little ditty indeed. Very very nice, sir. ER
Don't remember if I listened to this one. Love it. Like the guitar work and the harmonies most of all. ER
Again, great harmonies. Love the drum cadence. Gives the song a different flavor overall. Love the chorous. Excellent song. ER
Very tender song. Nicely done. ER
Another hard edged song. Sounds good. Is this a change in style for you? Love your vocals on this. Love the harmonies. ER

I had an older brother who ran away several times. I never thought of writing a song from the perspective of a parent. Good idea. ER
I don't think Santa should call anyone a "ho ho ho". It's just not a nice thing to say, now is it? ER
More terrific harmonies on this song. I liked the lead vocals as well. I liked the chorous, too. ER

Whenever I need a song to make me feel better, I stop by and listen to this one. Great job! ER
Very nicely done, amigo. Love the guitar part and the harmonies. Love to hear more in this style. ER

I can only dream of playing a guitar this well. Nicely done! ER
