I’m very pleased with how the lead guitar break came out on this Political Folk song. The rocket being launched at the song’s intro is Apollo 11, carrying Neil Armstrong and company to Luna.
GOING TO TAKE A LOT
I’ve been watching for some…
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
Open up ye hatch and pour ye spirit down…
This is really nice! I'm not familiar with your music, Gene, so do you write lyrics and music? Are you a one-man-band? This is the first song I've heard, it sounds a lot like Gentle Giant. Beautiful! Thank you
One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

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…

One of my better Psych Folk recordings. Intro voice and keyboards by Starry Nightmoth. BG rhythm/drums generated using a Yamaha E313 KB. Lyrics, music and all other instruments and vocals are my fault.

Unconnected, re: noise reduction on I Lose Control v.2- if you want to, go ahead! I'd like to see what you're able to do. You can email it back to me at songsforthebroken@yahoo.com, and I will put it up and credit you. If you get any ideas while doing that and want to overdub something, feel free to do that as well! Thanks again for listening!

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.

Since you showed interest in my songs, I thought I'd check yours out too. But by god, this is impressive! Reminds me of 'Treasure Island' - one of my most favourite books of all time. Thank you for creating this. I love, love, love this.
I decide while I was here, after enjoying the first three songs I listen to, that I'd just go ahead and hear the rest of your postings. I like the panning job on this one. Good, wide feel.
Wha wha wha wha wow! Tasty! Diging the gravely voice, the guitar and effects, the lyrics... a great way to start my morning -- that is, your new song AND this cup of coffee right here... ;)
I dig this composition of random noise -- it's out of the box yet still groovy. The sounds are pleasant, interesting, fun, and all seem to fall in timely and executed with meaning, intent, purpose, despite also seemingly random as per the title. Effective while psychedelic and definitely far out. Keep it groovy, Man!
I noted that Greg Conner, whose opinion I've come to trust, had commented on this song, so I came by for a listen. You've won a new fan -- I'll be following you hear-after. This is a gorgeous song -- the strumming, the picking, the vocals, the lyrics, the mix down/mastering job -- it's all beautiful! Great job -- Rock on!
Well this is certainly a bit different than the last few of your creations I just heard. I like the acoustic-sounding rhythm guitar -- nice strumming style. I'm pleased to discover that you're not stuck in a particular box and are actually broader than that. The lead guitar on this one is really emotional, sweet, and gripping.
I'm really digging the melodic lines of this mix down. Nice attack, really demonstrating your guitar skills here, what with the expertly executed harmonic licks which give a lot of other guitarists a bit of grief and a great delivery of the scale.
I am particularly impressed with your drumming skills. I can tell you're fun on them, and you're creative at it, composing with that set up rather than simply keeping a beat. Again, a great job.
Very professional, a very classy, tasteful composition. Your talents at the various instruments and at mixing down and mastering is quite impressive. Great job -- Rock on!
Now I know what an EBow is -- just looked it up at Wikipedia -- and what the results are when employed. Sounds very groovy. Thanks for expanding my world!
You should be a billionaire. Paul McCartney could never pick like you and he's a freaking billionaire. It's a shame that your one in a million picking talent is overlooked. But it's a thrill to have you here with us less evolved musicians on AloneTone -- thanks for sharing your very exceptional gift!
Intricate and intriguing. I dig that far out, jazzy scale. Like coloring outside the lines -- when done right, it can be totally groovy. Once again, a brilliant, fabulous job!
Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff
Lore of Spring, great material. Love your style.
This is really nice! I'm not familiar with your music, Gene, so do you write lyrics and music? Are you a one-man-band? This is the first song I've heard, it sounds a lot like Gentle Giant. Beautiful! Thank you
I recall this one great to hear it again :)

I'm not ignoring you Gene, can't sign in.... again, waiting for it to be sorted out. Roger M Harris.

I remember this from the old *EZFolk* days. Still good.

That was some groovy lead guitar! ;)
Some sad, in your face, bittersweet, reaching lyrics.
You have a great, cool style. I'm into it. You got me! ROCK ON!

I'm into how your mind works musically. What you fit together works for me, and your vocals and poetry works for me too. Great stuff -- Rock on!
Oh, very nice! Groovy percussions! I dig the sound combination -- shows great taste.
I like it. I'll follow you. Nice strumming style, cool vocals, interesting lyrics, nifty break, pleasant chord arrangement. DIG!

I missed this one! I dig it, especially the switch over at the end. Groovy. You da man!
GORGEOUS! You always do a great job, but this is fabulous!
