First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
Surprise!!
There's a video for this now. Not a big production job, but ... actually there's no 'buts'. It's genuine lo-fi small production. My favourite :-)
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Eloquent, tuneful and moving - I look forward to perusing the back catalog you've assembled here.
How're things in your neck of the woods? Glad to see you're keeping busy.
Look for a PM from me soon.

Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…

I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Okay, this is the "finished" version...
Lyrics:
I’ve been meaning to get drunk and try to forget you.
Instead, I’m finding new ways to just upset you.
Baby, I just can’t stay in my mind,
Unintended and unsung, just like all the bad bad…
A solar flare is the ejaculation of energy from the north pole or the south pole of this super concentrated point which has turned itself into a black hole because it has so much energy that it’s sucking in everything around it at such an exponential…
Now ye sons of the kraaken, let's get to some honest pillaging, shall we? Aaaarh!
The devil is an idle jest compared to what's within this chest
No hearts more black than ours they say
trust your own hide to be waterproof only
else they…
Now ye sons of the kraaken, let's get to some honest pillaging, shall we? Aaaarh!
The devil is an idle jest compared to what's within this chest
No hearts more black than ours they say
trust your own hide to be waterproof only
else they…
Here now, there be treasure to hide and we'll bury it full deep in the earth, and ye with it if you tell the tale. To the shovels lads, and dig down.
International Talk Like A Pirate day is upon us, so swab yer decks and break open the Rum…
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Seems like there ought to be 11 or 12 seas by now, what with inflation and all. Hugely enjoyed.
This was fun to listen to...Aarrhhh!
Oh Gumbo, I do love your Pirate Day songs. How the heck do you manage to sound so Cornish? Fascinating! Proper job my 'ansome.
Yeah hooo, shiver me timbers. I love this one. Great sea song. Damn fine.
FNG!
walk de plank matey. Yarrrr.
Yeah, definitely nailed the Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg feeling. Love it.
Surprise!! There's a video for this now. Not a big production job, but ... actually there's no 'buts'. It's genuine lo-fi small production. My favourite :-)
this is so sweet! wicked cheeky lyrics
Cool! Missed this one. How's things on the west coast of Eire?
As always, Gumbo, just terrific musicianship! Holy friggin' Woody Guthrie reincarnated!

Every time I get lost while out running this song plays in my head.
hehe very kool
Bunny track is funny and Cloud makes a movie in my head - Refreshing and Cool sounds.
Well done!!
Was not Woody Arlo's dad? I am not as familiar with Woody Guthrie's body of work,homework for me then,this is cool.
My kind of blues,spot on matey,spot on.
This has a cajun zydeco sound and rhythm to it,I can hear accordions or as you say a hot fiddle sawing away behind it,well cool.
Thanks for the comments. Great fun to play along too.
Comments made by Gumbo
or perhaps 'Zappa-esque' is a less obscure comment ;-)
Bizzarre! Frank? Bizzarre? *grin*
something about that 'waay overseas' is just perfect spot on
I enjoyed this kirk - it's great to hear a bit of funk in the mix
it sounds effortless, Kavin., but there's some lovely interplay going on in this. Very nice indeed.
I always love the soul in your vocals, David.
this is pretty groovy, too
You're telling it like it is there, mmi
Damn you're on a roll
Perfect - like a cross between Led Zeppelin and Leonard Cohen!
I'm sold - my new favourite band - when's the world tour?
How come i haven't heard your stuff before - no wait I probably have during the RPM mayhem - but this is great I might have to fave everything you do.
Groovy, Kemo Sabé
Gorgeous - and it has that 'Jungle Book' vibe - perfect!
another stunner! lovely lift to this.
Yeah this one came out better of the two Pirate songs this year. Kind o reminds me of the more 'raucous' tracks by the Kingston Trio.
LOL there's still time, laahd. Man the Rum and break out the cannons !!
Aaarhh now there ye have it, by the Beast's Barnacles, and your day will go swimmingly, so it will. Breakout the RUM! And the coffee!!
Never heard nuthin like it neither. Wicked!
thank you - I enjoyed listening to these today.
