HEAR MY FINAL SONG

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

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.

I got the speakers turned all the way up Gene!
We've been through a lot. Remember all the song writing challenges at EZFolk? I never thought I would have so many friends that I will never meet in person.
Your last song is something to be proud of. I was taken by the lyrics bouncing between acceptance and denial. Steve mentioned the chord changes. Mark talked about the weight of the message.
We were honored that you asked us for a little help.

Greg, Steve, Mark:
I am so touched, so moved. This final mix down brought a tear to my eye and a chill to my bone. Y'all handle this song with great care and delicacy and made a marvelous bit of music. I'm right proud of all of you and my friendship with you. I'm very lucky to have had this chance to make this beautiful song with such beautiful souls with what days I've been graced with. Thank you all so very much!

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.

A fun little Blues jam. The BG rhythm/drums were generated with the Yamaha E313 KB. All other noises are my fault.

If someone can do some Bodhran drum in the final mix it would add a lot. Rick's songs always had the beat and place for one in them. Great job Greg. Great lyrics Mr. Mann

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.

my eyes could see

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...
VOICES
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!
Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff
Give me goose bumps!
Great way to start the New Year
Outstanding collaboration Gene...great tune!! have a happy new year and thanks for listening to my stuff!!

posted a copy of this song Here: https://www.facebook.com/4barrelcarb?ref=hl
Great Guitar rythm and slide work. Vocals are awesome!! thanks for Sharing!
Paul Siegmund turned me on to you...
Thanks, Gene. It's been a pleasure accompanying and listening to your music! I'll always treasure our exchanges.
*AND NOW THAT I'M LOGGED IN* . . . . . It looks like I have accidently added a little humor as well.

It will be fun to hear when the other parts come in. Merry Christmas Gene!

I'm liking the harmonica. Nice one.

Sweet. Enjoyed it. Gifted picking!

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!
