DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning
I struggle for the shore
I'm swimming 'neath the surface
I'm sinking ever more
While Davy Jones is laughing
And Neptune scoffs at me
I'm swimming on with purpose
I'm frantic to be free
- The…
GOOD-BYE
I don't want to say good-bye
But I have to go
Catch the train that's heading West
Do another show
I don't want to make you cry
There's no other way
Give your weary head a rest
Carry on the day
- Don't know how to say good…
At some point I was thinking about RHCP and that song ringing in me. I'm
Finally catching up on everything I've missed from you and everyone else. This is cool.
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…

Fine lyrics! Interesting mixing technique to have the lead vocals panned to the far right in some parts and then have the overdubbing add a contrasting stereo effect by being panned to the far left! I might steal that some time! ;)
Instrumental fusion of an Asian-flavored pentonic scale with a D minor-based American Blues scale. The Asian scale is an A 5th version of the Koto scale, performed using the Pan Flute setting on a Yamaha E313 KB, while the Blues scale is performed…
WALKING ON THE MOON
See the Earth on horizon
Watch the Earth as she's arising
I hope the living are gazing
I hope the people are loving
Feel like I'm walking on the moon
I think I will be on there soon
My body's going to set me free…
EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this
Good planets, hard to find
Insanity to wipe us out
To earn another dime
No use it is to build a house
Upon a dying land
We live upon a warming earth
Why don't we understand?
- Unless we govern for…
OK… this might be my fav, lyrically, of yours. i'm right with you. Good tune-age, too. If you want to get fired up, check out what Polymet Mines may be allowed to do in northern Mn, right in the middle of one of the largest freshwater sheds in the world. Unbelievable that it's even being considered. Been to the meetings… its a real possibility.

And, thank you for listening to my song.
I was at the stockade at Fort Ord in California and then sent to Leavenworth where I ended up at the prison farm running the egg factory.
MAD AND SAD AND SCARED
I just want to get by for a friend
This is not how I would want to end
Mad and sad and scared
In everything I've shared
That is all I leave behind me
This is all I am
Hope I find a way
To kiss you every day
That…

And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…
a character disorder
I've got a character disorder
you know they say I've got a borderline
personality disorder
and I'm sick of taking orders
like a waiter or or a nun
I want to be the one that gives the orders
I hate the nurses…
Last one for the Cherry Pie festival.
Don't mind me, I'm goofing on my WG alter-ego.
If your unaware of my Gunslinging, Wall of Voodoo, Ennio Morricone,
Good, Bad, and Ugly, Fistful of guitars influences, you may NOT like this spaghetti…
these are the end tones and then it is the end of the record but you can hear the synth being shut down with the electrical pops and such.. I swear no more ends beyond end 2..
Actually kind of interesting -- I was entertained, and isn't that the point? Very Sci-Fi-ish and definitely out of the box and probably a few yards away from the box as well.

You are sooo good at what you do. you sing the especially well, just perfect for the music, which itself is just perfect for the lyrics. Again, it's that Connor magic!
My approach was to leave Greg as the major part of the equation. This is why I didn't make the bass too prominent, why the electric guitar is soft with much space in between, subtle keyboards, and my voice kept in the background. What I added was a bit of seasoning -- this version is still very much the magic of Mr. Connor.
Yup. I'm having a freakin' great time with this wee little tune.
Some classic WG for ya'll. - Raw and loud. :)
I'm working on a spaghetti west version as well.
Watch this space. I might publish it.
Thanks again Greg.
Enjoy Cherry…
Here is my version of Greg's Cherry Pie...I took a little liberty with it and recorded a whole new song.....I think Greg said that would be ok!!
Tried to put the Sweet Ronnie Cream Cheese Mojo on it....good gawd!!!!
An interesting sound experiment. I like B flat -- I B flat broke most of the time. No, really, this was a cool trip -- I like your work with sound. Rock on!
Comments on Merry Bear's stuff
Yes, this is my bag. Love the vibe, very cool. Sounds like something you'd hear in Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, House, etc. I'm impressed!

Almost made it to the wedding ceremony...nice

Groovy and cool as HELL!
Inspired by "The Song That Never Ends," I sang the poem 7 times, for each day of the week, from Tuesday to "Moon"day.
in the spirit of the Wanagi and lower Brule tribe, I say, Go...make it clear and make it last forever. Don't ever let the underlings bring you down.

I am enjoying your music.
Just found this! What a treat!
Ah good old days of the future past !!!! Roger.
Nice one like it
Nice got some potential keep up the good work :)
Great job, Roger Dodger!
Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.
Nice one
the finality is nearly palpable. Eco's and shadows, beseech us all.
Pretty dang good
Credit also goes to Greg for the melody.
Comments made by Merry Bear
Brilliant. Great lyrics, great vocal delivery, proper execution of the piano for the nature of the song -- like magic.
I am really, truly, digging this!
Actually kind of interesting -- I was entertained, and isn't that the point? Very Sci-Fi-ish and definitely out of the box and probably a few yards away from the box as well.
A rich, warm, wide sound -- a good recording. Rock on!
YES! I love every micron of this -- Rock on!
Far out! The vocals are particularly groovy, but I love it all. Great job!
Now isn't that some gorgeous picking?!
You are sooo good at what you do. you sing the especially well, just perfect for the music, which itself is just perfect for the lyrics. Again, it's that Connor magic!
Stumbled upon this one. quite lovely and unexpected. The harp was especially well-executed -- very sweet. Nice!
Some sweet banjo, and that low-noted lead break was very cool, and the lyrics just tickle me.

Ah, this is sweet. Gracefully, tastefully, wonderfully performed. Dig that beat! Way to go, man! And, definitely, ROCK ON!
Ahhh, so groovy, so sweet. Great job, y'all! Magical! Rock on!
I accepted the invite to sing it for you: http://alonetone.com/koehl/tracks/its-time-lennon-bear
I knew Ron was gonna rip this one up! Rock on!
This version is sooo groovy! VERY GOOD JOB! "Come and get it" -- love it!
Out of the box and a few yards away! ;)
Oh wow, gorgeous. I love this arrangement! It really gets under my skin.
"Groovy don’t ya think?" -- Yes, especially the wah-wahing guitar. "Now sing it for me." -- Is that an invite to add lyrics and vocals?
An interesting sound experiment. I like B flat -- I B flat broke most of the time. No, really, this was a cool trip -- I like your work with sound. Rock on!
