What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this.

Hey, Bo.
Where did they all go?
Hey Bo.
What do you know?
Maybe I could help you
In your quest.

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…

I fell in love with Miss Muffet. This may not be my best vocal effort, but it's all I can do with it. I'd be happy to let someone else try it. Any volunteers from the studio audience?

Let me help you.
Let me calm…
Guess where this story came from?

I really don't like your grandmother.
Those teeth, that nose
And that nasty disposition.
Keeps givin' me that hungry eye
And that awkward proposition.
"Come closer, much closer…
Time for a little humor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last year, and the pain was debilitating. When I got the right pain meds, I felt so much better that I wrote this song. Colin added his considerable vocal talents and his harmonica and brought…

A song about making choices.
Life moves in small steps
By the choices we all make.
We decide by will and pride
The path we'd like to take.
And the places we end up
And the people we will know
We'll see, you and me
By where we choose…

This is an answer to the question posed to me by Bethan Mathis. This is how I've been feeling this week. I'm okay. I've just come to the realization about the rhythm of life.
ER
Upbeat groove with a bittersweet message! Interesting juxtaposition - good to hear something new for you. Looking forward to your RPM project next year.

Gather 'round the bonfire for some sh*t-kicking New England bluegrass, boys and girls! Feel free to sing along!

Born so near the ocean I can taste it
Summer's so damn short you don't dare to waste it
I've seen the Northern…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
Composed in the dead of a particularly snowy winter, this track and its companion (the double-speed, tritone-shifted "On Thin Ice") capture the essence of cabin fever.
Been listening to your music, and I must say I have liked what I've heard. I'm not usually one to listen to electronica, but your particular brand is the right mix of rhythm and moodiness that I find interesting.
Well done.

09 Mistress Calamity and Mister Kaleidoscope
Kisses with mistress Calamity
Lips taste like sips of tea
Pour me .. she makes me sweet internally
Wide eyed it’s Mister Kaleidoscope
Broken very-merry go ‘round
Poorly he makes me feel…
Been listening to the songs, and I must say I am envious of how you get the vocals and harmonies to come out. I love how you do that. And, for the record, waiting for the final mastered version of the album was worth it. Very nice indeed.

02 Perfect
See that girl over there brush her hair beside her bedroom mirror
For all the world she doesn’t show of know the glow within her
She shines inside
She powders down
And lines her eyes
It isn’t worth it, she’s nearly perfect…
I've been listening to all the songs, and I like what I've heard. This one is difficult to hear because of the nature of live recording, but this and the other songs are enjoyable to listen to.
ER
Listened to all of your tunes, and I must say I liked what I heard. This last one is certainly interesting in how you used the synths and the guitar. I liked Almost There very much, and your Government Song made me grin. Dang the gov't anywho.
Look forward to more.

Lyrics:
I’ll stand above this cliff
And offer up my soul
Would there be an end to pain
To jump in to this hole
Could this be goodbye
If there’s a light below me
Will it set me free
Could I fly today
Is this my only option
Close…
I listened to several of your songs, and I liked this one the most. The lyrics and vocals and the almost haunted feel of the song were most appealing. Well done.
ER
Listened to the entire album and I can honestly say that the more I heard the more I liked. You have a unique style.
Other than the overpowering first song, I found myself singing along with just about every other one.
Well done.

This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.

A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair
Was taken…
Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.
Anything Done
How am I supposed to get anything done
With you looking like that
I'm so far gone
I'm forgetting where I'm at
How…
Keith - I've been listening to your songs and I want to say I have liked every one of them. I'll keep listening, but family is interrupting me at the moment. I'll be back.

Comments on Endicott Road's stuff
Good One!
This really caught my attention. It's different and very interesting.
this is really good.
So, tell aunty Bee, how long have you been harbouring feelings for Little Miss Muffet, exactly? Very sweetly done Terry.
You are AMAZING! I love your voice. I love the irony in your songs, I love everything! You are GREAT!!!!
Hahaha ... nice!!
Love the music to this one Terry. Lovely Vocal Inge.
"All the better to hear you with, my dear!" She's trying to stop you being the wolf!
Sounding great!
Nice work...
Ha, that's what I did Terry. I was singing along to JM when I first heard his song.
Hellish funky backing here! Proper shoulder twitcher Terry.
Aw, am glad you wrote this in the past and things are happier now.
Nice job....
Yea ... at first this seems like a standard rock song ... but after listening to the words ... its good-old preaching time! ... nice
Optomistic song here Terry! Your backing music is rockingly good! Merry Christmas
Digging the raunchy backing music! Happy song for the holidays, ER!
Polished track E.R. Good to hear something new from you. I dig the cool guitar wah-wah break.
Upbeat groove with a bittersweet message! Interesting juxtaposition - good to hear something new for you. Looking forward to your RPM project next year.
wow i love the base

Very nice, Kavin. Very jazzy indeed. ER
Very nice. I have trouble properly pronouncing the state, so I would have just said "to Mass". LOL Good song. ER
Great melody and sing-a-long tune. Loved it. ER
It's funny how periods of introspection and/or great pain can inspire great music. Happens to me all the time. This is excellent, Keith. Well done. ER

Tappin' my feets to this, Gary. The riff sounds familiar, but I can't place it. Good song. ER
Excellent introspective song. Well done. ER
According to the Men in Black, Elvis is not dead. He just went home. Brit did a nice job. ER
Ohmygod! And you made a song about it! EEEEEEK. ER
This describes my writing process perfectly. ER
Your lyrics are very good in this. The imagery is excellent. In my mind I can see what you saw. Well done. ER
Another quality album from you. Well done. ER
