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.

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 is in the human seed

How we live and play to get us through the day

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'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.

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…
When you're doing what it's all about (fishing, guitar playing, and beer drinking), how can you have the Blues?! But you got 'em, and you got 'em good. Very sweet, impressive picking -- ROCK ON!
Pen and Quill is performed with a rock ensemble (guitar x3, piano, bass, drums, vocals such as they are) in 22 notes per octave of a poem I wrote some years ago with edits. I apologize for my voice wavers – I’m not a good singer and trying to…
Cover of the late great Warren Zevon and his song from Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School Play It All Night Long. I stumbled on to the song on YouTube this evening with a performance by the wonderful Dave Lindley along with GE Smith doing this…
I'm the eldest son of the Danville Dan who left the first comment to this song. He is no longer with us, but you rock for checking him out. Anyway, I suppose to be commenting on this song, so... very creative, like how music was colorful, so flavorful, and inventive in the Psychedelic '60's -- FABULOUS!
I did this as a way to practice singing....why I am trying to learn to sing at 64 is a little strange.... I wish I had leaned to sing when I was starting out..but I always played in band with lots of singers and never had to sing much…
Been a while since I posted anything...(working on a secret project) anyway been feelin the blues lately so I decided to record this old blues tune...the lead guitar was recorded in one take so please dismiss some clams and relentless wanking…
i had some free!! time today to make some noise so i did and ruined a perfectly good song with bad drumming bad guitar and bad vocals ….now i’ve sold it to you enjoy Happy New year…I’m off out on the piss!! see you later ….Maybe????/
Interesting way to approach this classic song by Free, later to be known as Bad Company. The guitar was rippin' and the vocals choice. Paul Rodgers and the gang needed you in the mix, man!
Digging this flavor. Digging that y'all ain't trapped to one groove! I appreciate a multi-genre band -- stagnated water is undrinkable. You guys delicious, and I look forward to sipping on y'all so more -- you're real thirst-quenchers! Oh, and your lead guitarist -- fuckin' A!
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
