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 ;)
Just in time for St Patrick's Day . . . . And with any luck we might have a bonus "LIVE" Leprechaun track coming soon. The Minnesota Coffee table met and recorded a fun version last night.

Comments on oldfolks2's stuff
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!

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"

That's great Greg, what a Tapestry you weaved through words and music.
P.S. After talking to my lawyer, he just sighed and muttered he might get his pal, Dexter Morgan to pop round for a little chat ........ Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ....

Absolutely Love this ........ I could see Plant and Krauss doing this one .....
