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!
With a little help from Arthur & Elvis i had a bit of fun in the cellar and Regged up an old classic. Thanks for listening

I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well...
So, a few days later, I was rehearsing a pleasant little thing I wrote several years ago that has a working title of "She Was…
April rain storms are exciting but I am warm and cozy in side.

Now let me see .... stress ... panic ... ooh that sounds good, I had them all, but one of the best experiences
I have ever had. Cheers to the next one. ( And yes I'm on the Wine )
Written for a zoom group of favored musicians to criticize but I thought about it and it sounds alright to me. lets see if they will just support or make it better.
Hummmmmmmm.

Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...

Listening…
A strat and a slow minor blues are a go to for an overheard cell phone call.
The tone is pure strat wiggly bar juju. Thanks Robert Cray

A song I made up in retro style, just for a bit of fun ;- ) I used various guitars. It's partly sung in English and some of it in French. I try to do my own mixing, so don't expect too much LOL... Regardless, I hope you enjoy it ! Kind regards…
We wrote and recorded a new song while we are all on lock down...have really missed playing with the band. Lindy wrote the song and recorded his part at his home studio sent it to me and I added my parts and vocals Our studio is behind Ken's house…

Well this is from a challenge,' write one with the word glass seems simple -straight away.
THE PROBLEM WAS THE VOCAL . TOO SHY TO SING!
MY friend on alonealonetone told me just sing it dummy
so I did that. Thank You you know who…
Another early track in 2016 I was trying to express the sense of freedom I get when I play guitar. It is this type of freedom that led me to start teaching and the freedom continues to grow. Another track from my 2016 self titled debut.
Here's the first of several versions that you'll see from a collaboration across the inter webs started by Greg Connor. He got us together on the Zoom and then look what happened!!!! Music and lyrics collaborated with the talents of Steve Krell…

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.

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.
