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 ;)

While kids watched TV eating chocolate,we had easter early as their cousins came over after they left I had a couple of hours this afternoon so of course i got the guitar out i used the fender stratocaster with a 12 string plugin through the kemper…
A bit of wah lead to a song......
As the clouds start to break the suns on the run again
Keeping all that rain at bay
I’ve had enough of this damn lockdown
I want out, I want to live and have some fun again
Come on sun shine down on me…
Summer In The Wind was written by me and recorded by the Ninja Broilers (myself and my sister). It is dedicated to our mum. A song of sad goodbyes and new beginnings.
This is one of our first "international collaborations" - so the production…
When I was young we lived opposite a big play area - lots of grass and trees and bushes to rampage around - and in the middle a tarmac playground with the "amusements" - a witches hat (aka umbrella), a long rocking horse with saddles along its…
Ashes and dragon's breath - bright things in the sky, childhood games, battlegrounds, cemeteries.
Lyrics:
Long long days, summer holidays, staying up late
green wood on the bonfire, we danced around the flames
street lights and stars…
With lovely Keith Landry. Unfortunately, the studio I had at the time was on its last legs and the recording is a terrible quality, but I've never been able to get the vocal to sound better. Probably because I'm now over the awful thing* I did…
As I have mentioned in other years, I am so very blessed to have some songs come to me in my dreams. Grace is one of them. The specific line "Grace, grace, grace! You don't have to be a lonely child" is what I retained in my waking moments so…
Heres one for the cutup fest I have the little black songbook of Led Zeppelin so i've done an oroginal guitar track and cut up the lyrics from their songs and came up with this ....Thanks for listening

The Water wheel stops under the clear blue sky
The sun burns the crops and there all doomed to die

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!*

This is awesome!!! I love that line 'don't forget, I'm made from silicone"
