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…

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?
Don't I look fine?

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.

No credit card have I.
You might not know my name
But look me in the eye.

The Stones didn't sing about me.
Lucifer is not my name.
No…
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?

The game would be oversoon.

Hey, Bo.
Where did they all go?
Hey Bo.
What do you know?
Maybe I could help you
In your quest.
Maybe I could…
This was written at a time when things weren't going so well for me. This will be my last upload until after the RPM Challenge.
The jeans are worn but they're clean.
The shirt is frayed at the elbows.

Revisiting this track too. For some unknown reason, the church across the street from my former abode occasionally rang their bell at 7:30 in the morning. Not every Sunday. Come to think, Sunday wasn't the exclusive day either. At any rate…
Liked your music very much. Might just download it once I find room on the hard drive. Live recordings are often very appealing, and this is one like that. This song is particularly nice.

Hanging out in the living room with one of my sons, just making stuff up. I wish I'd had the recorder closer to him - whistle too loud, guitar too soft.
One of Asimov's most famous stories, the music attempts to re-create the world that knows nothing but daylight. Unsettling, but bright sounds hint at the looming darkness that must come, ending with the crescending voices of fear and madness…
This acoustic song is a drunk nihilistic escapade with a surprise ending; so if you like to howl, join along and do your best "ahhoooo.."
Lyrics:
At full moon, I was drunk as a skunk
My belly full of bourbon, and my breath really stunk…
Absolute power corrupts absolutely....

One cloudless night, freedom's candle was snuffed
Kicked and punched, gagged and cuffed
They took him away, for what he's not
Then cracked his skull, as a gesture for his…
You know how it is when you look around, trying to figure out what everyone is doing and how they lead their live, looking for an answer to how you should run your own ... don't ... otherwise, you'll wind up with a life that is just a cut-and…
I agree. Kept trying to listen to your songs, then would get interrupted. The holidays can be like that. Finally got a chance to hear them all and I liked what I heard. Well done.

There are things I cannot do without x2
And if I ever run out of the things I cannot do without
I'll run to the nearest 'things I cannot do without' store
And I'll run in and I'll buy some x2
And if someday their running out
Of the things…

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!

Very enjoyable jam. Were you channeling Robin Trower with the guitar. Sounds a little like him. ER
And break those f-ing cymbals! Kick some backside! Loved it. ER
Always good to bring back song like these. Loved the guitar and harmonica work most of all. Well done. ER
I'm deranged. Do I qualify? Not a lunatic. That's up to interpretation. Like your music. Post more and I'll be back. ER
Listened to the entire album and loved all the songs. Now I have to figure out how to make room on my mp3 player. ER
And tell us how you really feel! ER
Thank you for doing this song! I always agreed with you, but this tune brings it to the forefront. Well done! ER

Nice song about commercialism. I see the same thing in people, and in me. ER
