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…
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
This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist.

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.

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.

Great job, guys! Y'all make me want to move to Minneapolis. Is it all that snow that makes y'all such talented musicians and songwriters?

One of my faves. Well, all of your stuff are faves, but this is one of my fave faves.

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!
