Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
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 ;-)

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...

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!

@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you!
@Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions!
@kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!

A song for my daughter.
My blue-eyed girl
Living in your blue-sky world
I'll do my best to keep the clouds away
Life is better on a sunny day
Smooth the road out where you go
Let your light shine and watch you grow
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…
Post RPM jammin'. I don't feel much like cleaning up after RPM. Not yet anyway. I think my little Casio took a beaten and went out of tune. I did this arrangement with just the Casio, guitars and
harmonica, hence the annoying piano and strings…
I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.
I…
I'm on this like a cop on a minor traffic infringement!!
Great cover! this is right up my street/prairie.
Y'know Wall Of Voodoo themselves were covering this theme from the Clint movie? Perhaps Jackie Mittoo's reggae version was the first cover?
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.
Some shun or dare not partake in the discussion of passing on from this life. Many search for meaning and fanciful places to reside, after their earthly shells have been left behind. This song is sweet reminder that ignoring and falsifying of…
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…
This songs reminds me that this is the moment i have. No longer looking for the dawn for the dawn is here.
This is the moment
this is the moment
that i've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
the dawn and the dawn is coming soon
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
get the yard cut with that sangria? :-) hope it was motivational.
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.
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...
*sways* Oh what a moonlight serenade! LOVING your upper register!
How could she say "No" after that?
Laughed all the way through this one. Fun. BTW... I have Ruben and the Jets on vinyl.

Damn- I don't think I can get m passport together by tonight! A fish fry on the west coast of Ireland- what could be better!
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you! @Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions! @kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!
time is about the only thing i have right now but I doubt you were calling me baby :-)
Ha ha, mm, very witty sir! I asked for that.
Too cool- Love it! When's the fish fry?
Hahaa! Certainment! Bring your potions - the more the merrier!
Yee Haa, Can I come? You'll have to get rid of that Savage woman!
I've got the time. :-)
Jammin' I love your style man.
Great song!
Love this song, but have to say, these are just f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c lyrics.
Comments made by Gumbo
I always loved this one - it's such great vocal!
*BIG GRIN* that's a very catchy chorus you got there, Rob Brill!
Were you Joni Mitchell in another life?
Yeah I sent it in - haven't heard back yet. I told a few friends about it too.
Huh? What? Oh! Sorry i must have spaced off .. -clicks play-
