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.

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…
Pitchforks glow reflecting torches held in hand by the town’s folk
Eyeballs gleam beneath the balls of flame puffing out the stream of smoke
Rumors grow, they’re telling of the child who was flung in the lake
Gnashing teeth, they scream…
Lyrics by Adrienne Harvey. Music by Randy Nixon, Jr. and Gene Eric Mann. Vocals by Harvey. BG acoustic rhythm and acoustic bass guitar by Mann. Remaining guitars by Nixon.
Neat groove and some dark, I hear a kind of Jefferson Starship influence, perhaps it's in us all. Thanks very much for your several recent comments re my trax. There's no good way to thank someone other than post a comment for them and perhaps that's a good thing. Best with your muse Gene!
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…
A May Day/Beltane dance song. You may like this if you’re Wicca, Pagan, Druid, or just like dancing about a May pole, but I wrote and recorded this for my soul-mate, Jennifer. Blessed be!
A fun little Blues jam. The BG rhythm/drums were generated with the Yamaha E313 KB. All other noises are my fault.
FIND YOUR WAY
You’re crying on my doorstep
Say you want to come inside
You’re lying through your teardrop
No one gets…

Pretty cool and imaginative bro. As i was listening I could imagine a break beat drum patch behind this with a little synth too. I dig the thunder at 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.

Another Psychedelic Folk song from the Lore of Spring collection of my four MYTHOPOETICA demos. One of my earlier recordings, there are sound quality issues. Drums are via the Yamaha E313 KB.

Have a problem with TV evangelists? You won’t have a problem with this number! This Psych Folk tune features Starry Nightmoth on church organ. The rhythm/drum track was generated using a Yamaha E313 KB, the rest is my fault.

To me, as a songwriter, I have come to the "conclusion" that what I might say to explain a song is functionally THE BRIDGE. Your explanation adds so much to the song maybe it's bridge time.

Makes me want to hear more of the story.
Thanks for commenting on TRUCK. It's something I wrote for DARK BLOOD, River Phoenix's last movie. It plays while the nuclear explosion takes place.

You commented on my HEAR MY FINAL SONG song, "Makes me want to hear more of the story." My idea for the song was, what if life was a bar, and all 7.5 billion earthling were group into just a handful of characters that could fit into a bar. But the reason it's my final song is due to an illness that is preventing me from playing guitar like I use to and I don't have the strength and energy to take on anymore recording projects. Thanks for listening and your interest in the song -- it means a lot!

Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

Initially thinking about sounds I was hearing from David Lindley's amazing slide work that led me to record the cover earlier. Sat down to improvise something very still with some slide though action very low on this guitar so more racket.
Country/Folk with just my acoustic guitar and my voice. An ode to my home state, North Dakota. This is a rough draft. Any helpful criticism is welcome.
a small quiet piece for a Sunday evening,, all four string sections are present here,, violin, viola,cello and contrabass,,it's kind of fun to try to mix, and pass the various themes around,,

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff
Ah yup.
You definitely achieved your goal. What a cool premise.
love the way the vocal repeats in the chorus

Bass is awesome!
Harmonica makes everything better, nice job. Vocals are good too......
Pretty cool and imaginative bro. As i was listening I could imagine a break beat drum patch behind this with a little synth too. I dig the thunder at the end.

Very very interesting....brings back memories of the 60's and the "White Album" ...Great stuff... now where did I put that bong:-)
That took me a minute. Love it.
