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.

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!

How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…

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.
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.

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 :)
good rendition!
I'm not ignoring you Gene, can't sign in.... again, waiting for it to be sorted out. Roger M Harris.
Back for another listen...awesome! -Wrinkled Shirt's shadow
I just found this . . . Again. Good fun!

Haha title drew me in, it reminds me of a track i did 2-3 years ago 'Plastic purple wedding'...i feel ya!:)
Very cool!

I dig it, this is awesome! There's a lot going on in this song musically, but it all fits! Well done!
COOL!!!
You,er the best at carrying on the message rick ii'm slowed down by computer changes. So keep up tthe fight.
Cool!!
Great feel and very cool guitar! Cool words too! Well done!
I'm heading out to the liquor store to down a bottle of rum after hearing your music. very creative. thanks for checking mine.
this so heavy metal. killer words
I remember this from the old *EZFolk* days. Still good.

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!
