Fran is awesome, as usual. You're alright I guess. Nah, just jumping on Greg's pick-on-you band wagon. This is great stuff. Going in for a second helping!
I love hearing her sing -- she's so good at it. I totally dig the tempo, the rhythm, the pauses, the picking, everything. This recording is full of style and class. A fabulous job, y'all!
If you'd been putting out songs like this in the late '50s and early '60s, during the "British Invasion," and when the market was wide-open, you'd been at least as rich and famous as Eric Burdon of the Animals. You're a master at this style. I love it!
The effects on the voice is particularly cool in this mix down -- just how I would imagine an android would sound, although I must concur with Mark -- not "too" sexy... just sexy enough! :P ;)

First things first, many, many thanks to Greg for adding Bass and a Great Harp break. Don't tell my mate Dave, my normal Harp buddy, he's been ill with Flu.
After an afternoon of painting i needed some release and i think i found it. It took me a while to find the right tone with the Kemper and using the Fender player strat but once i found it i was away...it got a bit down and dirty .....i think…

When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top
of the castle
With oil down its sides.
All of the effort
now wasted…
The Freedom Of The Moon

Poem by Robert Frost
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…

Once again, a fabulous job of songwriting.
Fran is awesome, as usual. You're alright I guess. Nah, just jumping on Greg's pick-on-you band wagon. This is great stuff. Going in for a second helping!
I love it! Lord have Merscy!
I hear Fran in there saving your ass again. . . . Sorry, I just couldn't help but have a little fun with you this morning.
Sorry, but your Folk song ROCKS! Folk-Rock is as close to Folk as you'll ever get, because everything you do ROCKS! Rock on!
So cool!
You are on a roll lately! Keep on Truckin!
Good one Fran!
Love it!
I believe Fran Harris has earned a right to her own AloneTone account!
My woman loves this one too, especially the line, "...son of a..." ;)
Oh yeah, I meant to mention, those are EXCELLENT lyrics!
I love hearing her sing -- she's so good at it. I totally dig the tempo, the rhythm, the pauses, the picking, everything. This recording is full of style and class. A fabulous job, y'all!
Sweet, lovely one.
I really enjoyed the lyrics. Again, that classic Harris style in the music that I for one so appreciate. My soul-mate digs it too.
Groovy! Fun beat!
If you'd been putting out songs like this in the late '50s and early '60s, during the "British Invasion," and when the market was wide-open, you'd been at least as rich and famous as Eric Burdon of the Animals. You're a master at this style. I love it!
The most romantic of all the Android Series. *You old softy!*
The effects on the voice is particularly cool in this mix down -- just how I would imagine an android would sound, although I must concur with Mark -- not "too" sexy... just sexy enough! :P ;)
This is awesome!!! I love that line 'don't forget, I'm made from silicone"

Sadly too true for some, my Dad had a wretched childhood thanks to drink and poverty in the 1920's and 1930's. Great song.
A bit of magic mate ....
Tough times ..... always glad music pulls me through ......
Ho Ho Ho ......
I've lost this on my P.C. but found it on an old account here. Does anyone know where the Download go to ? ?
Oh Theo my man, I got blisters on fingers just from listening to it ........... : )

Really liking this Acoustic phase you're going through .....
Hits the spot my friend ....
Beautiful Greg ...... and yes, it seems darker this year ....
Well it does it for me ....
I like that ...... a lot .....
A cracker Greg ....... as always ..... : )
Been there, done that over the years ...... must admit, I don't miss the rat race ..... But times are tough ......
Ok, I'm year late, but I agree with my mate Greg .... beautiful ...
I'm scratching my head ....... how come I've never found you before ..... Great song ...
Oh Reg , you naughty, naughty boy .....
And it is .... a good listen ....
Feels like a breath of fresh air ... wonderful ...
Beautiful ........
