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.
Maybe I could…
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…

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.
The shoes are dull, lost their sheen…

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.

Upbeat groove with a bittersweet message! Interesting juxtaposition - good to hear something new for you. Looking forward to your RPM project next year.

This is a rough demo recording of a solo marimba composition from 2000. This is part 3 of a 3 part piece [1. Once (marimba) 2. Twice (marimba) 3. Three Times (marimba)]
I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
Liked this very much. If I might make an observation, your songs sound like there is, or should be, a vocal track running through them. I don't know if you did vocals or have lyrics for these, but I found myself adding my own melody and finding my own lyrics to go with the music.

A rough and ready audience recording of my set at open mic night at Queens Park Centre, Aylesbury.
Setlist:
Stand Up But Not To Fall
Revolution
All Was Nothing
Been listening to all of your selections and I must say I'm impressed. Your lyrics are very thoughtful and your songs are excellent. Will be back to listen to more.

Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year.
I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
This is like a mission for the Doom Patrol
I need a robot body for my brain
Miss Callas calls
the dopamine exhanges
the sound of down
And there is danger everywhere
the scissor men are coming
House of icons
Felt like cards
The brilliant…
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.
Been listening to all of your selections and enjoyed them very much. I like the steady beats and find myself creating melodies for some of the tunes. Will be back for more.

The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
A friend of mine once called this kind of jam session "noodling", as in "straight from your noodle (pointing to his head) to the guitar". This is a primo "noodling" session.

Well, here's a REAL oldie. This is the one my kids like me to play most when we're in the backyard with the fire pit and the sun going down. They play gently through the first 4:07... And then run around like maniacs for the last 1:20.

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.

wow i love the base

Listened to the entire album and enjoyed every song. ER
This is certainly a departure for you. I keep expecting the guitar to kick in along with the drums and base. This is intriguing, though. ER
Listened to several selections and liked what I heard. Sometimes your guitar work reminds me of one of my faves: Robin Trower. Well done. ER

Sounds very good, sir. Wish I was there. ER
Love the harmonies. ER
Like this a lot. And NONE of us are supermen. ER
Been listening to all of your selections and I must say I'm impressed. Your lyrics are very thoughtful and your songs are excellent. Will be back to listen to more. ER
Very nice. You sound a bit like Mister Jagger if he did a slow song. ER
I've been listening to your selections, and I like the music very much. I also find your lyrics most intriguing. Will be back to listen again. ER
Very nice folk song. Well done. ER
Just stopped by to listen to a few of your tunes. Sounds good! ER
Listened to all the selections and liked what I heard. Keep up the good work. ER
Righteous work on the guitar. ER
I knew several teachers. Love this song. Right on, brother. ER

This was excellent. One of my many failings is the inability to fingerpick anywhere near as well as this. Well done. ER

Run around like a maniac? I do that at work every day. Nice playing. I'll bet the kids all fall down at the end. :-) ER
Very nice. Liked it a lot. ER
