OK, so it’s a creepish song about Death, but how about my happening bass lines? This Psych Folk funeral dirge features Starry Nightmoth on KBs.
LOOK
Look in the mirror
See me standing there
Look out the window
See me everywhere…
A Blues number, and in the past it’s been one of my more popular songs. We’ll see how it does on AloneTone.
MY FAVORITE GUN
Pa had left us on the farm
Ten long years we raised the corn
Then he returned to Mama’s arms
To beat the sons…

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.

Thirty-seven sails be a full rigged ship
Open up ye hatch and pour ye spirit down…
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.

Hello Kind Sir. Thanks for finding my page and music and thanks for the comments. Ive had a few listens to your material here, all very well done too. This track is fantastic. Look forwards to hearing more .
This demo recording turned out particularly well, especially when compared to how most of my MYTHOPOETICA recordings sound. The lead guitar employs an Eastern Folk scale and style of picking, greased with GEM-style Blues butter.
SUPER YOU…

Another Psychedelic Folk song from the Lore of Spring collection of my four MYTHOPOETICA demos. One of my earlier recordings, there are sound quality issues. Drums are via the Yamaha E313 KB.

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.
COME UNTO ME…
I will set you free for a fee - excelent lyric. Do you know kevin Ayers stuff?

One of my oldest and more pitiful recordings, this Political Folk tune is a part of my “Legends of Summer” demo CD.

Psychedelic Folk. Ever meet that special someone in a laundromat? Ever do it on top the dryer? Either way, you’re sure to dig this clean groove. Compilation by Stephen L. Krell and Gene Eric Mann.

HOW
I've got a friend. He is in trouble
But he just stands there in the rubble
It seems each day his sorrows double
He needs to know. He needs to know
How do you keep your hand from shaking
How do you keep your fear from waking
How…
This one made me cry. Deep, touching lyrics. Powerful. Reaching. I of course don't really know what this is specifically about, but what I read into it from my own experiences, PTSD. If so, thank you for putting it into words for us who live it, and for getting it.
Don't let me down
--
Like so many times before
I know there'll be so many more
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I know my enemy by name
Survival is a deadly game
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
More lo-fi noodlings for RPM. Featuring 2 year old daughter let loose on a box of instruments, and then messed with in goldwave. Will be a (poorly) hidden track on RPM album.. when there are actual songs on it.
Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
Track 2 for the RPM 2015 album Cold Ground Was My Bed
"Yesterday was a den of sorrow, today is a bright mystery, the future a dim dream or ancient history"
My ultimate favorite Roger Dodger number. Crazy cool percussion lick, smart lyrics, righteous vocals, groovy guitar licks and effects. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH! Rock on!
Always loved this one, one of my two most favorite Roger M Harris numbers. Psychedelic, colorful and tasty. Always puts a smile on my face and a fuzzy warmness in my soul. My doves coo to it too! FABULOUS!
Every Monday in a clean white shirt
Greeting strangers with a smile
Believing things are for the best
Not stressing about the rest
Searching for some kind of grace
To wipe the scowl from my face
Waiting for the day
I'll hear them say…
As requested, here are the lyrics.
On the night stand is a clock
counting down the waning hours
'til the fiery fingers of the dawn come crawling through
Burning eyes in morning sun
the engine turns more slowly now
driving down a silent…
What a fabulous blend of sounds. Great songwriting skills. Really professional job. I remember when radio was about this, the singer-songwriter genre, before hip hop and rap ran all the musicians and vocalists off the air.
I CAN'T TELL
I can't tell if it's morning or evening
I can't tell night from day
I can't tell if I'm arriving or leaving
Doesn't mean a thing to me
Since you went away
I can't tell if it's sunny or raining
I can't tell if it's…
A classic '60s flavored Folk Rock sound. Honest lyrics, pleasant vocals, groovy progression, gentle rhythm. It's great to have "the Dodger" back! I dig your style, Mr. Harris!

While you're at it, get Sunshine and Intended up on your new account here. I really dig that harmonica! This is a really tasty Blues, and you are so really good at writing and performing Blues. You know you're in my top 5 list of favorite songwriters on AloneTone.
Let me know if you'd like a copy of this mix down e-mailed to you that has the hiss/floor noise removed. I wouldn't offer if I didn't like it. I've got the software tools to clean this up and improve the overall quality.

The second day with Gene's music. The flight is OK, all the systems are working in normal mode, psychedelic.

Has a mid '60s Beatles flavor to it. VERY groovy! Rock on!
"(Hint: it’s neither of those)." -- and it's not a Beatles cover either! ;) Nice melody on the lead guitar. Cool vocals.
I enjoyed it -- elements of this mix down reminded me of playing Revolution #9 backwards back in the day. Mad mastering skills -- Rock on!
;) Sweet, cute, adorable. <3
The pleasant, well-mixed vocals added a new, broader dimension.
Fun! Digging those lyrics! You sure know how to tell it like it is, but keep it all upbeat while you're at it. That lead break at the end was choice!
;)
Sweet jazzzz -- lapping it up like a cat does milk, with a purr in my throat! ;)
Oh, and Dave's harmonica didn't hurt the situation none a'tall!
My ultimate favorite Roger Dodger number. Crazy cool percussion lick, smart lyrics, righteous vocals, groovy guitar licks and effects. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH! Rock on!
Yes! Smooth, sweet, gentle, good for the soul.

Intriguing lyrics. Especially digging the bass. Good mix down/mastering job!

I love the music and I totally adore the poetry!
