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!

HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…

This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist.
APATHY AND GREED
Apathy and greed is in the human seed
"I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well
How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…

Trippy...but weirdly affecting. I found that circular blend of sound very moving. Tried to explain it to my 8 year old, but she didn't get it. I love music; sometimes it's just about the feeling - and that you can't explain.

I never meant to be insulting or belittling...your music is certainly more deserving than such a review. You have great things going for you, and I support you in every way.

Hey, thanks for the nice comment on the remix. It didn't turn out exactly as I imagined but that's the way it goes sometimes. I love doing that kind of work, let me know if you have another track you would like me to work on just for the hell of it. Chris

Political Folk song, predicting a grim tomorrow, scribed in an esoteric fashion.
(Coming into) WINTER TIME
Days are getting shorter; days are growing colder
Coming into winter time
Seasons changing faster for the demon master
Coming…
Political Folk. About the sexual hangups and illnesses of our culture because we don’t know how to talk to each other and our kids about sex and agree on what’s right or wrong and where the lines should be drawn.
NO ONE’S BIZ'
Education…
Lyrically one of my favorites, and actually one of my fave recordings despite the obvious sound quality issues that plagued my early recordings. I think it’s one of my better-composed Psychedelic Folk tunes.
IN THE END
Had enough of looking…
Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream.
LAST NIGHT
With a subtle touch
I have said enough
But you…
Extra long intro....Give it a minute.
This is a rough mix of a new tune.
I'm open to any changes if you want to do anything with it.

I dig that Eastern scale! The effects on the guitar are wicked. This is epic. It would be perfect for a battle scene in a video game or the end credits of dramatic, high-adventure SciFi movie. I imagine these are the sounds heard in the heads of Hindus on acid. ;) Anyway, loved it, really enjoyed it, and going back for another dose!
This one put me in that space where in my mind I'm riding a horse into the sunset, with cacti to my left and tumbleweeds to the right, a six-shooter at my side and a ten gallon on my head. Go ahead -- make my day!
...same for orbiting shuttle as in falling elevator; always accelerating towards earth to as if falling!!! Therefore, you fall at the same rate as shuttle, objects float relative to shuttle, can’t tell which way is up.

What an interesting, intriguing arrangement of notes, executed with such taste! Moving, reaching. Expansive, revolving, tugging at the listener's equilibrium. Exciting. You have mad skills at composing, performing, and recording -- an all around great job!
Damn that's some mighty purty tickling of the keys! Digging the lyrics and vocals -- bittersweet delivery, the vocals doing the lyrics great justice. You got this one right!
Flashback. No, I'm not talking about the kind of flashback you get from something called Sunshine you swallowed in 1976, but the kind you get from hearing a great recording that takes you back to all those crazy songwriting challenges back when ezFolk dot com was cool. It's a blast to hear this one again. You really rose to the challenge and pulled it off quite nicely. Rock on, Roger -- ROCK ON!
WRITER’S BLOCK
I went out to the stockyards last night. I don’t get out much but I had an invite.
My buddy, Guthrie Kennard was playing.
The place was full. The band was tight. Whitney Raquel opened the night
And the kids from the 2500 Club…
Update: Paul took the first version and made it even better. So impressed with his talents. Thanks everyone for your kind words on the original. I know you'll like this version even more!
I was listening to some of Paul Lennon's great…
I agree with Greg -- it is indeed like Paul's recording was made for you. The lyrics ROCK! I dig the mix own of multiple vocal tracks -- great job. Gonna play it again right now!
A WG tune set on the back burner.
Maybe you can do something with it.
I'm open to making any possible change requests.

I like the combination of instruments here, the fusion of sounds, keeping everything floating somewhere between Southern Rock and Folk -- musically a very fine place to be! very tasty -- well done!

I like that run at the beginning. Started with a Western Rock flavor, like Marshall Tucker, then went immediately to a CCR "Born on the Bayou" taste, and then comes that nice Folk Rock picking in the middle. It's like putting bacon and cheese on a burger -- addictively delicious!
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.

Track 5 from my RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Inspired by Salvador Dali. Mostly.
Gravity failing
Cats float flailing
Furniture in midair
Salvador smiling
Rainbows crying
Clocks melting everywhere
Pachyderms stilted
Lovers…
Dali is my favorite. Fabulous lyrics! Digging the combination of strumming mixed with slip'n'slide. This recording is a real fun for the ear and the imagination. Far out AND groovy!
I'm not sure what part of England you're from, but if it produced you. Fran and Dave, then there must be something in the water -- all of you ROCK! Your guitar and Dave's harmonica is just one example, but y'all are consistently fabulous. No such thing as a bad Roger Dodger ditty! Rock on!
SNOW MAN
I'll tell you right now
I don't cry
You might mistake some sweat
for a teardrop in my eye
But, I don't cry
In spite of what you might be thinking
I don't get tired of humble pie
(That's not a tear drop in my eye)
And don…
I got a friend, his name is Tim, and he really likes donkey songs.

Interesting song lyrics.
Nice guitar and atmosphere on thisun.
Very cool song, love the feel...Great job!
Nice Johnny Cash feel! Love it! Keep up the good tunes! Thx for the kind words :-)
Slinky and very cool. Loving your late night gravelly vox...
Oosh! A touch of Elvis Costello in your tone here? Very cool.
Fabulous premise - and a wonderful collaboration, guys.
Trippy...but weirdly affecting. I found that circular blend of sound very moving. Tried to explain it to my 8 year old, but she didn't get it. I love music; sometimes it's just about the feeling - and that you can't explain.
Excellent!
Suzy Creamcheese alive and well in 2015? I just had some sort of weird flashback to a college FM station around 3 a.m.

good message and reminder!
There's that ending thunder again!
Had to listen twice. I love the tone you have on the guitar......
Very catchy my brother. Nice.
I rather like this.

Super groovy, super cool.
Damn but you sure know what you're doing when it comes to Rockin' the house down! Rock on!
Rock on, y'all!

Nice workout on the keys. Sweet and jazzy.
Sad, but gripping, meaningful lyrics. A good bit of songwriting and a great performance vocally and guitar-wise. Bittersweet.
BWAHAHA! Fabulous -- great job of songwriting and recording. Rock on!
