Oh yeah. Like it. From the lyrics, it should be kinda depressing... but it's not, I find it really uplifting. So you could think, oh, the lyrics don't fit the music... but they DO!! I don't know how it works but it does. Love it.
I think I remember it? Mighty cool anyways. I'm kinda jealous, though - all my old ones aren't that easy to post here... they're all recorded on pieces of A4 paper, in the metaphorical "shoe-box" (actually, it's not not that metaphorical, it is a box, several actually, they've just never held any shoes)
My wife Rita mentioned that she had not heard my dulcimer on any music recently, so I tuned it up and wrote First Morning Light. A little Low D Irish Whistle flavored it just a bit.

I wrote this song about my father and Dementia/Alzheimer's over a year and a half ago. We just finished the song and video, kind of surreal because Dad is in a nursing…
Huge rain thunder and lightning storm swept thru, and right behind
a bunch of frogs serenaded us ........ Bull frogs. ...are allright
wish I had recorded their song it would fit in here

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
Do love a golden oldie, great song, as I record on a Boss, we love Mr. Boss : ) And yes could be on any Family album ..... are you sure you're not Roger .....
I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

A simple guitar groove. Haven't sat in a coffee shop since before the lockdowns, and I miss the atmosphere and the music! This tune feels to me like sitting in a cafe.
(Every time I think it's done, I end up tweaking it a bit more in Audacity…
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…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…
It's no good Andrew, your music reminds me so much of Family, I absolutely love it. Having seen them so many times, I'm sorry to say, I'm off to Youtube to catch up on some Chapo ..... but like a good groupie, I'll come back to you. ( hope this don't make tongues wag )
I wrote this song as a way to process some of the feelings of sadness, dismay, anger, fear and love that were brewing inside my heart this past week. I live in Minneapolis, where the terrible killing of George Floyd occurred, and the subsequent…
I was messing about and this came out. Thanks for listening
GET DOWN ON MY KNEES
I get down on my knees and I pray for a day
Where we can all go outside to run and play
Take my hand and tell what you see
can you see a future, for likes…

I wrote this one last September.

I can see you on your rocking horse now

Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and Colleen added some lyrics to make a “positive message” song for the times we are in…. Hope it makes you smile too…
It Won’t Be Like This Forever

Rita and I both enjoyed the video. We especially liked “the good wife” singing back up. I have to say the ending really got our attention.
Sounds like most of the evenings I have out or in .... liking the trippy vibe too
Love the feel of this one. Kinda trippy. It's got a Mamas and Papas vibe to it.
Sounds like you have got the blues back :)
Must take swimming lessons!!! Good song indeed...
It works for me
Rainy days are good for naps but they can certainly mess with your head. Good song Roger! I like the ending, “Don’t let me down”
You possibly shouldn't trust my judgement, though... In the 90s, I used to listen to "The Wall" to cheer myself up!!!
Oh yeah. Like it. From the lyrics, it should be kinda depressing... but it's not, I find it really uplifting. So you could think, oh, the lyrics don't fit the music... but they DO!! I don't know how it works but it does. Love it.
Oh yes... This is wonderful. The guitar sound is soothing and expectant. The sentiments in the lyric - yesss (or "Nice" lol)
Excellent That tuning is working. More please
A cool breeze....
I only really know the Thin Lizzy version... and this one!
Nice one.
Lovely!!!
nice
Is that a mandolin? Nice song.
Ahhhh ...... The good old days!
I think I remember it? Mighty cool anyways.

I like both. This one sounds more summery though!

Leave it alone, come on someone, vocals ?
Love it Colleen, and bless Gene, a kind loving soul he was.
Just ....... magical ......
Sorry Colleen, the harmonica was played by my best mate, Dave Underwood, he played on most of my tracks. Mr. Connor supplied the Bass line.
It's no good Andrew, your music reminds me so much of Family, I absolutely love it. Having seen them so many times, I'm sorry to say, I'm off to Youtube to catch up on some Chapo ..... but like a good groupie, I'll come back to you. ( hope this don't make tongues wag )
Can't beat a good ole fashion love song.
Beautiful Colleen, beautiful.
