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…

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…

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.

Another Psychedelic Sea Shanty. This one follows a Fox Trot beat. I didn’t have a mic screen when I recorded the vocal tracks – my voice is piercing at moments. Hope you are nonetheless able to enjoy the mix-down. Pan flute by Starry Nightmoth…

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.

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.

A fun little Blues jam. The BG rhythm/drums were generated with the Yamaha E313 KB. All other noises are my fault.

One of my Psychedelic Folk tunes, but NOT one of my better recordings.

Don’t let the clouds blind your eye

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.

A May Day/Beltane dance song. You may like this if you’re Wicca, Pagan, Druid, or just like dancing about a May pole, but I wrote and recorded this for my soul-mate, Jennifer. Blessed be!

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.

Lyrically one of my favorites, and actually one of my fave recordings despite the obvious sound quality issues that plagued my early recordings. I think it’s one of my better-composed Psychedelic Folk tunes.

Political Folk. About the sexual hangups and illnesses of our culture because we don’t know how to talk to each other and our kids about sex and agree on what’s right or wrong and where the lines should be drawn.

Psychedelic Folk tune I wrote when I was younger and could sing in a higher key. I bull-headedly recorded this years later in its original key. Starry Nightmoth does the ambient background KB work.

This Political Folk tune is set to a rustic, tribal Samba beat – perfect for dancing naked about Stonehenge – and asks if we are evolved enough as a species for the world we’re trying to create for ourselves today.

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

Political Folk tune featuring Starry Nightmoth on baby grand piano, pan flute, KB “strings” and intro voice. About the blatant environmental destruction humans are committing against Mother Nature/Earth.

Not an overall bad recording, and I’m quite pleased with the lyrics of this Psychedelic Folk tune.

Another one of my Political Folk tunes, this one smothered in Psychedelic sauce. About a “vision” I had in my early childhood. The recording has its issues, but still…
