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…

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.
FIND YOUR WAY
You’re crying on my doorstep
Say you want to come inside
You’re lying through your teardrop
No one gets…

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
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…

Last one for the Cherry Pie festival.
Don't mind me, I'm goofing on my WG alter-ego.
If your unaware of my Gunslinging, Wall of Voodoo, Ennio Morricone,
Good, Bad, and Ugly, Fistful of guitars influences, you may NOT like this spaghetti…
Yup. I'm having a freakin' great time with this wee little tune.
Some classic WG for ya'll. - Raw and loud. :)
I'm working on a spaghetti west version as well.
Watch this space. I might publish it.
Thanks again Greg.
Enjoy Cherry…
This is a fun idea Greg has, and I can't wait to hear more.
He sent me an acoustic and vocal track and asked me to complete it.
I stayed up most of the night jammin' it. :)
It's a bit loose around the edges because I didn't work anything…
Prelude track to the upcoming album "Hello Again" by Buyer Beware.
Lyrics:
In a land far from free
All because you never paid
Far away sounds good to me
A mile a day keeps you away

All because you never paid
Far away sounds good to me
A mile a day keeps you away
I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.

Oh, Greg, you are brilliant. A master songwriter with a tasteful ear for what genre and instruments and style go with the lyrics, which you are also great at. Very pleasing, and much fun. I'm with Ron -- how do you do it?!
another Reg saga....will he or will he not find love this year...is he on the wagon...has he fallen...what the hell is he up too this year....all will be revealed.......
I WANT YOU GONE
Baby i just don’t feel it
i just don’t feel it no more…

Ok guys, not out of this world, but what with colds, flu's, Christmas and work it's been laying around for a couple of months. Just a silly 12 bar blues, hopefully might kick start something !!!!
…he understood that more nothing is necessary; it already here, now // peace of mind, confidence and clear vision of the purpose of existence // he took a deep breath and swam down the river...
/for all the people
I can't say why, but listening to this for me was like watching an autumn-colored leaf riding the surface of a slow and gentle brook. Relaxing, hypnotic, and even refreshing. It was a pleasant break from my tense-filled day. Beautiful and sweet.
Seminal 80's Wellington post punk song from Brothers Gorgonzola, released as a single. Thanks to Alexander Turnbull Library for saving it from oblivion!
Dancing for dimes, donuts and dollars. From the juke joints to the church halls to the halls of power, still she dances, even as the music grows weary.
Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff

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.

I'm liking the harmonica. Nice one.

Comments made by Gene Eric Mann
Like a psychedelic spaghetti western tune -- very tasty! ;)
That lead guitar shredded that piece of pie! Delicious!
No matter which version of this song I listen to, in my head I hear you singing "Come and get it!"
F A B U L O U S !!!
The vid is cool, what little there was of it!
Psychedelic -- love the flavor and color. Would love to hear the rest of this one.
Oh, Greg, you are brilliant. A master songwriter with a tasteful ear for what genre and instruments and style go with the lyrics, which you are also great at. Very pleasing, and much fun. I'm with Ron -- how do you do it?!
Just ROCK the Hell ON!! That's some hot sauce lead guitar! This is my flavor what I call Hard Core Blues!
"!daed si luaP" ~ John Lennon
Great lyrics -- made me smile big and wide!

What Len Sasso said.
I particularly appreciate the vocals in this one -- strong and well-delivered.
I like it. Melodic. Slips and slides about the ear -- great mixing/mastering effects employed.
Great lyrics, nice progression of chords, cool electric guitar -- subtle but effective.
Quite entertaining. Delightful! Rock on!
Groovy rhythm, y'all!
Digging that bass!!!
Ha ha -- what a way to handle a song -- made my day!
Very ingenious, well developed, and intriguing. Groovy thinking, musically. I really dig this style.
