Never stop messing about -- it produces great results! This is fabulous! You know you're one of my all time favorites -- this is a fine example of why. Rock on!
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!
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!

When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top

With oil down its sides.
All of the effort

The Freedom Of The Moon

I've tried the new moon tilted in the air
Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster
As you might try a jewel in your hair.
I've tried it fine with little breadth of luster,
Alone, or in one…

Yep, that's the stuff :-)
Oh yeah! I sooo dig your style. You've got great compositional tastes.
Awww! A kazoo solo! I bought one a year ago - haven't found a use for it yet (apart from annoying the missus!). Love the sound of this.
Fabulous fun!

Fun song!!! Candy floss sticks to your nose!!! Love it... especially the kazoo!
This is a fun one! Toe tapping on a sunny afternoon!
Great Harmonica accent. You guys should get some leather pants and go on tour!
Nice groove on this one!
Love the vibe and the harmonicas
One of my faves. Well, all of your stuff are faves, but this is one of my fave faves.
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!
