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…
MID SUMMER
A mid-Summer's night's dream
The days are slipping by
Amid the rushing stream
I take the time to cry
The end is hurling near
I stand with open arms
I sing the tunes I hear
While falling for her charms
She is why I'm…
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…

Like unto an injured bird
For battered wings, they will not…

Oops, guess I wasn't logged in before. I must have used all brain cells recording the song. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this, and as you said, we've all been friends for a long time.
Remember Terry's radio station? It's been a lot of enjoyment.

I'm getting a real kick out of everyone's contribution to this number. I've always appreciated Steve's sweet picking skills, Greg's sweet vocals, and Terry's not-so-sweet, serious, in-your-face way with lyrics. I've been wanting a recording featuring the 4 of us for like 7 years now. I'm so tickled that it's finally happened. Hopefully now that the horsemen have come together, this doesn't lead to the Apocalypse! Thanks, guys -- y'all did awesome!

Instrumental fusion of an Asian-flavored pentonic scale with a G minor-based American Blues scale. The Asian scale is a D 5th version of the Koto scale, performed using the Pan Flute setting on a Yamaha E313 KB, while the Blues scale is performed…
This is a fun idea Greg has, and I can't wait to hear more.
He sent me an acoustic and vocal track and asked me to complete it.
I stayed up most of the night jammin' it. :)
It's a bit loose around the edges because I didn't work anything…
Great job! A full, rich sound. Nice guitar work. Especially love the vocal harmony. you're a smart choice to collaborate with -- you really know what you're doing.
Lyrics, vocals, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and acoustic bass by Merry Bear. Fabulous and greatly appreciated harmonica performance by "Minneapolis" Mark Imsdahl.

This (just in case nobody notices) is a desperate cry of protest against the suicidal car culture human has created.

Reminds me of some of the out-of-this-world music from 2001:A Space Odyssey -- I'm seeing the monolith surrounded by pre-historic ape-men. Enjoyed it -- stay groovy!
Very interesting -- like a ghostly. psychedelic, out-of-the-box style sea shanty. I imagine life on a ghost ship would sound like this. Enjoyed all 10 minutes of it!
Thanks to Robert Palomo for giving this a little sound engineering. Robert said " I mixed thru my mastering plugin (Ozone 5).

This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…
