I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!! So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)

LOL Yes! That's what this needs - a video with thunderstorms and dancers!

I really like the pace of this one. Very laid back... at least it made me very laid back. Also, this is about the speed at which I can actually dance.

OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened? Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)

thank you for the comment! i'm slowly learning how to make harmonies, some songs its just much harder on, and other just work themselves out almost... wierd. i sometimes use outside harmony help, i'll find a harmony on my guitar first or something to that nature...

Laughed all the way through this one. Fun. BTW... I have Ruben and the Jets on vinyl.

I go back far enough to remember waiting for Ruben and the Jets to be issued on CD, but I think you might have me beat there, kirk. One of my favourite discs. I could get into some beefier backing vocals - that'd be fun.

HA HA- I hear this and all I can think of is Flo and Eddie doing background vocals like on Zappa's "Ruben and the Jets" (yeah I go back that far) Great stuff!

Some impromptu mandolin chords and a bit of harmonising. The view from the window is very pretty today.

Love this song, but have to say, these are just f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c lyrics.
