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.
37 SAILS
Thirty-seven sails be a full rigged ship

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

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…

When you come to the end of the road
and all of the signs just say "No"
You never say, "Quit"
Cause that's not your bit
You're not a pup
You never give up...
Like the downward plunge on the musical roller coaster of life. It grips you, shoves you, frightens you, exhilarates you, thrills you, makes you scream, makes laugh, makes you want to get back in line for another ride.
I have been wanting to do some Cream covers for awhile now and with the passing of Jack Bruce it seemed an appropriate time to record some sort of tribute to him and the band.
Lyrics:
Don’t you bow, to kings and queens
Rise above, everything
If the devil beckons, and the angels sing
Don’t listen to, anything
The time has come, to raise your hands
C’mon everybody, take a stand
Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher…
Psychotic! You went outside the box, then burned down the box, then stepped several yards away from what use to be the box to come up with this tasty, colorful mix down. I looked up this methodology in my book of genres and found it under ROCK ON!
Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain
This a primer melody for this lyric, so feel free to tweak it ( for the collaboration four)<>>.The transmission started slipping on the way home from work today...Man I sure could stand a little raise in pay. no talking about saving for…
Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff

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.

You're a pro at mixing and master -- it's an art and a science and you really got a handle on it! Great job!
Both sad and sweet. An enchanting hue of blue. Very touching, moving. The violin that comes in at 2:25 is an excellently timed and delivered moment.
You're never boring!
Sweet, with a hint of bitterness, like a fine, tasty square of dark chocolate. Perfect sounds by which to end a year. ROCK ON!
Interesting composition -- dark colors, dreary, but in a pleasant way.
Great job! Fabulous mix down/mastering job!

Rock on! Rock the Hell on!

Fabulous! No drums required. Rock on!
Mystical, magical, and moving.
Gorgeous! Sweet and moving. Great job!
Far out GROOVY!
Dig -- totally dig!
This one gets one big, solid ROCK ON from me!
Amen!
