billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.

This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…

eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered
now we fear , the words we say, descent in
the shadows
we must hide to survive the thought police their searching…
Very nicely arranged! And I can't help but be concerned at exactly how many are righting George Orwell/1984esque music right now :) Something is distinctly wrong in the world...

I just bought a new Gibson SG Standard guitar with P90 pickups. I bought it after listening to Steve Krell's Gibson Gold Top with P90's.
Here is my first recording with the guitar.
Lyrics:
Sitting in my living room
Sunlight will be fading…
I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…
Recorded last week in Sunny Leeds
Words and Music OsCKilO
Produced by my Good friend Mike Fife (Before he smashed my right hand with a lump of brick... long story..... not sinister..
All is forgiven.. lol
-Lyrics-
Traded anger
For disappointment…
I wrote this song at a bowling alley in my small hometown in the Panhandle of FL/Lower Alabama
She blew into town on a one night Stand
Over eggs there was no one holding her hand
Just like the sauce
She became a mystery
Just like the…
Well, here we go then...

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...
Take off your underwear

Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.
I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…
Well Reg got to thinking about his Hippie past and that its nearly time to go mushroom picking again before that first frost............i had nothing to do with it by the way....i'm innocent your honor ......Honest "Guv"....
Picking the Shroom…
Shroom n' gloom! Man brings me back to a party at a mansion back in the day. Woke up in an empty bedroom on a hardwood floor and my shoe as a pillow! Nice imagery you created here. Has a Door'sy vibe.
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

This is really beautiful song, great recording as well, like the way ot builds... nice one :)
Totally hooked from the first few bars
Excellent production. Guitar and synth's sound great. Like the melody ... Nice to hear music with a strong melody hook. This is well done! SG
Oh yeah, nice one. Big sound. You've got those synths and guitars working well together.
George Orwell tried to warn us. Now . . . here we are. Nice way to put it into a song.
Class.

Space blues. Dig it!
I was in on the first note! Gnarly guitar playin! Killer tones as well.
The title alone left me wondering and you delivered. We should never forget about that damn monkey.
Oh man. Heartfelt and most of us here can relate. Done very nicely GC.
Some good midwest rock guys. Go Bears!
Love those guitars and that groove.
Unique style here. Very good production!
Good song here. Simple and sincere.
Oooh like the janglin chords! I am thinking a lil Spirit in the sky with this groove.
Nice! Love the slowed down version.
Man, drawn in as soon as the first notes appear. These are very nice pieces you have created. :)
Sounds like Elvis fronting Tears for Fears covering the Beatles. This is pretty damn inventive.
For 1min long its a great performance.
Incredible:)
Love your voice....great music)
Love the wha wha guitars panned around at the intro. Guitar heaven on this one.
Oh yeah! Nice recording! This is superb! Love those guitars.
Nice ambience to the track. The vocals and music compliment each other.
Shroom n' gloom! Man brings me back to a party at a mansion back in the day. Woke up in an empty bedroom on a hardwood floor and my shoe as a pillow! Nice imagery you created here. Has a Door'sy vibe.
This one is incredible...had to listen again.
