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.

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!

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.
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

My idea for the song was, what if life was a bar, and all 7.5 billion earthlings were group into just a handful of characters that could fit into a bar -- what is everyone doing? What are they thinking?

You commented on my HEAR MY FINAL SONG song, "Makes me want to hear more of the story." My idea for the song was, what if life was a bar, and all 7.5 billion earthling were group into just a handful of characters that could fit into a bar. But the reason it's my final song is due to an illness that is preventing me from playing guitar like I use to and I don't have the strength and energy to take on anymore recording projects. Thanks for listening and your interest in the song -- it means a lot!

Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

Initially thinking about sounds I was hearing from David Lindley's amazing slide work that led me to record the cover earlier. Sat down to improvise something very still with some slide though action very low on this guitar so more racket.
Country/Folk with just my acoustic guitar and my voice. An ode to my home state, North Dakota. This is a rough draft. Any helpful criticism is welcome.
