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.

Right back at you .... "Been there, done that".
Sometimes I think that the more different we think we are, the more we're just the same, or at least our situations seem similar.
I guess that's the long way of saying that I can relate to your song.

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.

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…
Sam did a great job on this song. Both the lead and backing vocals are hers. The song could use a little editing, but I thought you'd all like to hear it anyway.
Enjoy.

Keith Landry used his considerable vocal talents on this song, and he made a decent song sound great. I added one or two harmonies, but the lead vocals are his. I think he did a great job. What do you think?

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…

Thanks ER. I can relate to this track. I seem to be in a continual state of self examination. Never quiet sure of my footing in the life. It does make for good tunes. Just remember to keep at least one foot on the ground, and dangle the other over the edge. Sorry for you loss and take care. -JG

Thanks for the listens ER. Glad you enjoyed my improv...I have been trying different ways of doing hammer-ons in different tuning. Some of the parts in that kind of reminded me of percussion more then guitar. :)

A song about writing songs that isn't really about song-writing, and knows it is being written.

Hey everybody, come out in the streets now
Hey everybody, let's have a good time
Bring along your cooler, there's good food to eat now…
I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…
En Francais.
English lyric:
I don't know why there is not another girl for me here
Or near here,
But over there are plenty of girls for him
What a shame - what a shame
Every day I watch the men and boys with girls on the beach…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.
We have an old and senile cat with a dodgy thyroid gland who is a total pain in the bum. I know she can't help it but god she annoys me, so this song is therapy. It's a love/hate thing. Recorded as part of RPM 2010
I have a cat that loves to sit on my lap every time I sit down at my PC. I can't find the right lyrics to write about her, but I'm sure I'll find the inspiration after hearing this song. Laughed when I heard it.
ER
this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
I stopped by to listen to this year's album, and again I am green with envy. I wish I could play anywhere near as well. Great guitar work, sir. A pleasure to listen to.
ER
This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Stopped by to listen to this year's effort. Liked most of what I heard. I agree that falling in love involves fear, risk, and not a little anxiety. I know those emotions well.
ER
I mostly wanted to make music with a funky clav line I'd come up with, so this is it. For the voiceover, I unabashedly used an awesome monologue by Ken Nordine.
Just stopped by to listen to your 2010 album. I liked a number of the songs, including the K Beam, and loved the Sho Be Do. You're never too old to sing, by the way. Well done.
ER
Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. It’s almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the song. It has this tone…
Hey Gary - I listened to your album on the RPM jukebox, and this is my favorite so far. I'll probably change my mind later, but I like the harmonies you did, and I find myself singing the chorous at random times. Well done, sir. I liked all the songs and I'll be loading them into my MP player once I finish downloading.
Regards.
ER
Hey old friend! Glad you liked my work from this year's challenge. This song in particular has been my favorite of this album. It captures the essence of how rediculous it is for Kylie to have her own museum. I also like The Dogs Name. I wonder if my better half thinks of me in those terms once in awhile. Oh, wait, we have cats.
Welcome to the site and I'll stop by from time to time for a listen.

Thanks for listening to my album! I really appreciate the feedback! I like the rag time feel of the piano on this song, it's very upbeat.

Dude how the heck did I miss this. What?!? I love colin's work, and your work on this track just fits it perfect!!! FAV'D

Lovely song-writing anthem.
Catchy tune ....I'll remember it.......
Great use of music to express something deep.

Great instrumentals, Love the drum sound.

A parent grows into his role just as a child grows up. Funny how it works that way, isn't it? Nice song about it. ER
Another enjoyable tune. I've written a song about writing a song, too. Who hasn't? Liked this one. ER
Nice tender love song. Well done. ER
Very nice live recording. Love the driving beat. ER
I like this. Bouncy melody and bright atmosphere to the song. Love the steel drums and the horns. ER
I liked this song very much. Very tenderly delivered. Well done. ER
Tres bon, monsieur! ER
Nice pop song here. Love the harmonies. ER
Hey, every guy is Fred Astaire on the dance floor. I thought so until everyone stopped laughing. Nice song. ER
Have enjoyed listening to your album. ER
They drive like that here in the States, too. ER

I like the guitar rhythm on this. The lyrics are good, too. Nice song. ER
Just stopped by for a listen. I like your approach to blues. It's simple, accoustic, and very enjoyable. ER

Love the groove on this. And I often wonder where the hell I'm going as well. Then I know I'm having my version of a blond moment. ER
