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…

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.
One of my favorite recordings and favorite songs. The drums of this Political Folk tune was generated with the Yamaha E313. The lead guitar break needs replaced with a violin, but…
THE FINAL HOUR
Welcome to the final hour
Everybody kneel…
Another Psychedelic Sea Shanty. This one follows a Fox Trot beat. I didn’t have a mic screen when I recorded the vocal tracks – my voice is piercing at moments. Hope you are nonetheless able to enjoy the mix-down. Pan flute by Starry Nightmoth…
This song is really intriguing. A who done it sort of tale. I love the line that Poor Old Admiral Smith....he's not with! Really make a person try to hear the lyrics that follow just to find out exactly what went down! Amazing how so much of a story forms by the end!
A Sea Shanty with a bit of Psychedelic seasoning. Guest artist Starry Nightmoth performs the “harmonica” on a Yamaha KB as the song fades out.
37 SAILS
Thirty-seven sails be a full rigged ship
Open up ye hatch and pour ye spirit down…
Really cool song! The theme and melody are really memorable. The riff with the fife/synth is really cool. I like the other synth sounds too. Like seagulls circling a ship at points!Also the strumming is really rich and full! Great way to start the day!

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.

Not an overall bad recording, and I’m quite pleased with the lyrics of this Psychedelic Folk tune.
FUTURE BOUND
Should I take the left or should I pass it by zoom?
Lost my faith in maps, so how will I decide zoom?
Spirits crying to be…
Thanks for your kind comments! I've been listening through your stuff, I'm amazed with how much material you have, you seem to pull riffs out of thin air! Good use of sound fx for storytelling :)
JUMPSUIT BLUES
As I slept this morning,
I dreamed of what you said
How you said you loved me,
And from my toes to head
Then I woke to Chow Call,
Prison walls around my bed
‘Morning to you, Jesus!
How did you sleep last night…

Crumbs - this is good... Listening on headphones, wondering whether I've been drinking or not.
Started out as very relaxing - slightly disturbing after a while! lol
The thunder and rain came as a welcome release of the tension.
Really well put together.
HOW
I've got a friend. He is in trouble
But he just stands there in the rubble
It seems each day his sorrows double
He needs to know. He needs to know
How do you keep your hand from shaking
How do you keep your fear from waking
How…
This one made me cry. Deep, touching lyrics. Powerful. Reaching. I of course don't really know what this is specifically about, but what I read into it from my own experiences, PTSD. If so, thank you for putting it into words for us who live it, and for getting it.
Don't let me down
--
Like so many times before
I know there'll be so many more
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I know my enemy by name
Survival is a deadly game
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
More lo-fi noodlings for RPM. Featuring 2 year old daughter let loose on a box of instruments, and then messed with in goldwave. Will be a (poorly) hidden track on RPM album.. when there are actual songs on it.
Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
Track 2 for the RPM 2015 album Cold Ground Was My Bed
"Yesterday was a den of sorrow, today is a bright mystery, the future a dim dream or ancient history"
My ultimate favorite Roger Dodger number. Crazy cool percussion lick, smart lyrics, righteous vocals, groovy guitar licks and effects. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH! Rock on!
Always loved this one, one of my two most favorite Roger M Harris numbers. Psychedelic, colorful and tasty. Always puts a smile on my face and a fuzzy warmness in my soul. My doves coo to it too! FABULOUS!
Every Monday in a clean white shirt
Greeting strangers with a smile
Believing things are for the best
Not stressing about the rest
Searching for some kind of grace
To wipe the scowl from my face
Waiting for the day
I'll hear them say…
As requested, here are the lyrics.
On the night stand is a clock
counting down the waning hours
'til the fiery fingers of the dawn come crawling through
Burning eyes in morning sun
the engine turns more slowly now
driving down a silent…
What a fabulous blend of sounds. Great songwriting skills. Really professional job. I remember when radio was about this, the singer-songwriter genre, before hip hop and rap ran all the musicians and vocalists off the air.
I CAN'T TELL
I can't tell if it's morning or evening
I can't tell night from day
I can't tell if I'm arriving or leaving
Doesn't mean a thing to me
Since you went away
I can't tell if it's sunny or raining
I can't tell if it's…
A classic '60s flavored Folk Rock sound. Honest lyrics, pleasant vocals, groovy progression, gentle rhythm. It's great to have "the Dodger" back! I dig your style, Mr. Harris!

While you're at it, get Sunshine and Intended up on your new account here. I really dig that harmonica! This is a really tasty Blues, and you are so really good at writing and performing Blues. You know you're in my top 5 list of favorite songwriters on AloneTone.
Let me know if you'd like a copy of this mix down e-mailed to you that has the hiss/floor noise removed. I wouldn't offer if I didn't like it. I've got the software tools to clean this up and improve the overall quality.
Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff
Thanks for always being so wonderful Gene! May you smile on us and enjoy the music of the Gods!
Goodbye, Gene. Thanks for all the listens and constructive comments.
Working my way back on your music catalog. this is fantastic. trippy washed guitars and the lyrics are spot on.
Nice twist on the Beatles classic... very interesting. I like it!
Clever! I think a lot of work went into this one. Thanks for your comment on my song. Paul
I woke up thinking about this song. I had to come and take another listen. It's the only *WASHING MACHINE* song I know of.
Outputy! loving this..
Just discovered this one in the mix.... wow!!!! What a beautiful song and amazing arrangement.

Strange...in a good way. Some mid PF studio output work right there.
You Rock my dear friend!!♥
Lovin it!

Hey Gene, love the sound and the songs ,ya did a great job, hope you got our private message, we're new at this ,, Jack & Cindy
I'm totally digging this! It reminds me of old Barrett-era Pink Floyd.
Yup... I'm a sucker for Eastern influence :)
Amazing lyrics!!!!
I love this track, it gets better every time I hear it......

Has a mid '60s Beatles flavor to it. VERY groovy! Rock on!
"(Hint: it’s neither of those)." -- and it's not a Beatles cover either! ;) Nice melody on the lead guitar. Cool vocals.
I enjoyed it -- elements of this mix down reminded me of playing Revolution #9 backwards back in the day. Mad mastering skills -- Rock on!
;) Sweet, cute, adorable. <3
The pleasant, well-mixed vocals added a new, broader dimension.
Fun! Digging those lyrics! You sure know how to tell it like it is, but keep it all upbeat while you're at it. That lead break at the end was choice!
;)
Sweet jazzzz -- lapping it up like a cat does milk, with a purr in my throat! ;)
Oh, and Dave's harmonica didn't hurt the situation none a'tall!
My ultimate favorite Roger Dodger number. Crazy cool percussion lick, smart lyrics, righteous vocals, groovy guitar licks and effects. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH! Rock on!
Yes! Smooth, sweet, gentle, good for the soul.

Intriguing lyrics. Especially digging the bass. Good mix down/mastering job!

I love the music and I totally adore the poetry!
