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
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 love hearing her sing -- she's so good at it. I totally dig the tempo, the rhythm, the pauses, the picking, everything. This recording is full of style and class. A fabulous job, y'all!
Well, this is completely different! Sounds like a successful experiment. I'm impressed that you're not only not stuck to one genre, but that your skills are wide and encompassing. Great job, Holly!
Makes me want to call all my warrior friends to arms against the goblin scourge! Very nicely done. If you're not already, you should be a composer in the gaming industry.
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
At least 3 of my favorite musicians are hanging in or about Minneapolis, namely, Greg, Mark, and Colleen. Must be all the snow and moose sightings that keep y'all so artistically inspired.
Second song by Martin Fox
Was on a Pete Townshend kick lately. this one came to me as i was listening to the random recordings on my phone. still not happy with the vocal mix. we spent a lot of time tweaking too.
Having wrote a song myself called "Last Night," I had to check out yours. I'm with Greg on the bounce and Fat Burrito on the harmony. Can definitely discern a "The Who" influence, and that's just far out groovy.
Your tone is not Neil, but your style, your delivery, is very much Neil. This is a really enjoyable recording. Very exciting, very tastefully done. ROCK ON!
Pleasure boats and fishermen
Tugboat pushin three barges wide
Sit on the banks from morn till evening
Wave to the people as they pass me by
Up in Minnesota she’s fast and cold
Walleye fishing just below the dam
Go and catch em til…
The poetry is excellent, and the music is dark yet delicious -- like chocolate. Great vocal delivery. The mix down and mastering job produced a powerful recording. Gripping, reaching deep within this listener. I'm going to be following you hereafter. This is really fantastic, fabulous -- brilliantly done!
another for the RPM......
ALL I NEED
I’m sat up here at the top of the road
I’m sat up here and i’m all alone
I’m sat up here waiting for you to come on home
I’m sat up here at the top of the road
i’m waiting for you
and all i want is…
The music is a Stephen Stills-style early '70s-flavor of that effective country/folk rock formulae of simple and sweet, allowing the lyrics and vocals to shine. And in this case your vocals do the lyrics serious justice, and those lyrics are moving, touching. They sucked me in, inviting me to visualize the setting and experience the emotions. This is a for-real good bit of songwriting. This was how it was done in our day, but the art seems lost on the under 30 generation.
This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...

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!
oh and downloaded! you nailed this!
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.

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

Oh yeah, I meant to mention, those are EXCELLENT lyrics!

Dig. Sweet picking at the end. I'm DTD about the length - I could have stood a few more seconds of that. It was just getting juicy!
I visualize this one, personally, as being perfect for a one-on-one battle, but good for both a contest between warriors or wizards.
Makes me want to call all my warrior friends to arms against the goblin scourge! Very nicely done. If you're not already, you should be a composer in the gaming industry.
A very lovely arrangement!
You know your way around the keyboard! Gorgeous selection and arrangement of chords.
All those tasty guitar tracks -- yummy!

Short, but to the point, and effective! Nice vocals and strumming style. Good melody.
Big time fun! Rock on!
Your tone is not Neil, but your style, your delivery, is very much Neil. This is a really enjoyable recording. Very exciting, very tastefully done. ROCK ON!
The percussion section is exceptionally groovy. Great job on the harmonica. Well, really, all of it is great.
That lead break is really something!

Dirty Deep Dark D -- Damn Delightful, Dude!
My soul-mate, "Starry Nightmoth," wanted me to tell you she really likes this. She had me play it again, and got no argument from me!
