Psychedelic Folk. Ever meet that special someone in a laundromat? Ever do it on top the dryer? Either way, you’re sure to dig this clean groove. Compilation by Stephen L. Krell and Gene Eric Mann.

Sad and sweet memories, Gene Eric Mann's last song.

My idea for the song was, what if life was a bar, and all 7.5 billion earthlings were group into just a handful of characters that could fit into a bar – what is everyone doing? What are they thinking?

SOLANA (Sunshine)
Sunshine, you are the morning.
Solana, you bring the light.
I am the evening. I am the darkness.
Whoa, you know, I bring the night.
But in the dusk and in the dawn, we make it right. We make it right.

Gene Eric, thank you deeply for your most kind comment on my song Psychomantium...personally I can't hear the vocals on that song very well, as I am a Gulf War veteran with only about 15% hearing...I want to remix it. Thank you, I hope you'll friend me on facebook.
One of my better Psych Folk recordings. Intro voice and keyboards by Starry Nightmoth. BG rhythm/drums generated using a Yamaha E313 KB. Lyrics, music and all other instruments and vocals are my fault.

I find myself wishing I'd been listening more closely when you were with us; as closely as you were listening to us.
I feel like you're still listening now.
Many thanks x

This demo recording turned out particularly well, especially when compared to how most of my MYTHOPOETICA recordings sound. The lead guitar employs an Eastern Folk scale and style of picking, greased with GEM-style Blues butter.
SUPER YOU…

One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

Looks like your How to Assemble has reached 100 plays, and all 5 Currently Kicking Ass tunes are STILL How to Assemble songs, but your is on top. Congrats -- I'd call that a hit, and you are once again "The Featured Artist" -- and that's a damn good choice!
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

A tearjerker I made for the ones that are hurting inside... I created my own backingtrack before adding my guitar track (nylon stringed little Höhner) and finally my vocals. I hope you like it. Warm regards, Anna.
Oh, and I dig the lyrics too. Everything but the drums, which I don't think the song needs. Hope you're not bothered by me saying that, cause otherwise I think the song is gorgeous and exciting.
I enjoyed this, particularly the vocals – awesome control and delivery – and the chord arrangement. But I’d honestly would love to hear what this song would sound like with the “drums” removed from the final mix down.
This is all me...

There is something deep inside that wants to laugh and cry
Something that would like to tell it's story
There is something deep inside that wants to dance and wants to fly
Maybe you would guess it's called the…
This is an IDEA or blueprint for the solo of a song I wrote called the same 12 steps. It's just a snippet and it's unmixed but it's just so pretty to me. This was one take on each track (backing/lead) but I think alot of the reason it turned…
Just being honest, the title doesn't seem to fit. Could you tell us more about how you came up with the title or what it means to you? But, even for only being 43 seconds long, it really is gorgeous -- I love it!
In Surry County, NC, where I'm from, we have a community called Possum Trot, just down the road from Pig Shin. I noted you played my "niaR" (Rain), and I appreciate it, but out of 81 songs, it is the one and only like it, and I know it's not like anything you do. Please don't judge my music and style by that one backward noise mix. I've been checking you out -- Nightmoth, Merry Bear, and Justin Otter Guy are all me. I dig your style. I'm from the heart of Appalachia and I grew up surrounded by musicians who reflect your style and I respect it, highly.
I liked this one a lot more before realizing (after all of the tracks were finished) that the guitar part is awfully similar to a Throwing Muses song from the brilliant House Tornado album.
My plan to double all rhythm guitar and vocal parts…
OH HOW SWEET! Pretty strumming, cool bass and rhythm, tasty vocals, lovely poetry. You're a sharp cookie when it comes to songwriting and recording. Rock on!
You're always retuning your guitar into sideways dimensions, but it always comes out far out groovy. Suits ME fine! This is a great tune, but that's to be expected from ol' Rodger Dodger from Across the Pond! I'm so into your style -- Rock on!
Well Will got me all inspired to tell a yarn after listening to his remix of adious http://soundcloud.com/ramseywill82/nevermind-adios-your-just-a so here it is.....i finally got round to it hope you enjoy....Reg
If Louis L'amour and Marty Robbins had ever collaborated, you would have gotten -- not this! Tis a Western from Hell! When in Mexico, watch which cacti you chew on, or you might get a vision similar to this mix down! Frightful stuff, BUT FUN! Rock on!
All the singers' voices blend beautifully together. A serious yet fun song. Great job, guys. I've only have a matter of weeks left myself, according to the docs, so I really got into this in a morbid kind of way. Anyway, ROCK ON!
OK, for the 3rd day in a row, I woke up with your voice singing this song in my head, and I carry it with me all day. If the responses to a songwriting challenge were judged by that standard -- how stuck it gets into one's head, then no contest, this one has possessed me!

Still miss you Gene
Your song lives on.
Miss you dad :'(

So utterly shocked and saddened by his passing. True feeling of loss for my brother in music.
R.I.P love always Solana

Nice one like it
This might be one of my favorite *Gene Eric Man* songs.
sand castle kings..great
Imaginative chord progressions. Sad you're gone.
This was the first of Gene's (Ricky) songs I remember listening to. That was back on *EZFolk.com*
This is the first of Gene's songs I remember listening to. That was 10 to 12 years ago on *EZFolk.com*.
Travel well Gene. You will be missed around here. Thanks for everything.
God speed my friend, you will be missed greatly.
What's happened to Gene??? Oh no.......
Really sad to see you leave like this. May you shine bright from above and keep the Angels doped with your music. RIP brother.

EPIC!
Rock and Roll, Baby!
You are a fabulous vocalist -- again, as I said of the previous mix down, great control and delivery.
Oh, and I dig the lyrics too. Everything but the drums, which I don't think the song needs. Hope you're not bothered by me saying that, cause otherwise I think the song is gorgeous and exciting.

Sweet lead guitar break, nice vocal mix, interesting arrangement of chords.
I would say your experiment is a success. I dig this composition -- it's truly delightful. Great job -- a winner!
