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 ;)
Sorry, you don't sound too sexy, but hey,,, if you'll do my chores, take out my trash, and cook my favorite meals while I'm busy making music, I'll give you all kinds of love and affection. Can you portage a canoe?
Thanks to this addition by Roger "Dodger" M. Harris, we now have nearly 24 minutes worth of android music on the "How to Assemble Your Android" playlist!
OH HOW SWEET! Pretty strumming, cool bass and rhythm, tasty vocals, lovely poetry. You're a sharp cookie when it comes to songwriting and recording. Rock on!
You're always retuning your guitar into sideways dimensions, but it always comes out far out groovy. Suits ME fine! This is a great tune, but that's to be expected from ol' Rodger Dodger from Across the Pond! I'm so into your style -- Rock on!
My ultimate favorite Roger Dodger number. Crazy cool percussion lick, smart lyrics, righteous vocals, groovy guitar licks and effects. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH! Rock on!
Always loved this one, one of my two most favorite Roger M Harris numbers. Psychedelic, colorful and tasty. Always puts a smile on my face and a fuzzy warmness in my soul. My doves coo to it too! FABULOUS!

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…
Good one mate, I know where you're coming from, glad I'm not alone on the swearing and Take 550 ......

My wife Rita mentioned that she had not heard my dulcimer on any music recently, so I tuned it up and wrote First Morning Light. A little Low D Irish Whistle flavored it just a bit.

I wrote this song about my father and Dementia/Alzheimer's over a year and a half ago. We just finished the song and video, kind of surreal because Dad is in a nursing…

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
Do love a golden oldie, great song, as I record on a Boss, we love Mr. Boss : ) And yes could be on any Family album ..... are you sure you're not Roger .....
I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

A simple guitar groove. Haven't sat in a coffee shop since before the lockdowns, and I miss the atmosphere and the music! This tune feels to me like sitting in a cafe.
(Every time I think it's done, I end up tweaking it a bit more in Audacity…
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!

It's no good Andrew, your music reminds me so much of Family, I absolutely love it. Having seen them so many times, I'm sorry to say, I'm off to Youtube to catch up on some Chapo ..... but like a good groupie, I'll come back to you. ( hope this don't make tongues wag )
I wrote this song as a way to process some of the feelings of sadness, dismay, anger, fear and love that were brewing inside my heart this past week. I live in Minneapolis, where the terrible killing of George Floyd occurred, and the subsequent…
I was messing about and this came out. Thanks for listening
GET DOWN ON MY KNEES
I get down on my knees and I pray for a day
Where we can all go outside to run and play
Take my hand and tell what you see

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"
Sorry, you don't sound too sexy, but hey,,, if you'll do my chores, take out my trash, and cook my favorite meals while I'm busy making music, I'll give you all kinds of love and affection. Can you portage a canoe?

Clever lyrics, musical melancholia, pleasant vocals. Thanks for joining the party. I'll add this to the playlist right now.
I like that bass
. . Simple and Tasteful . .
In the traditional Harris-style; slick, sly, and tasty!
OH HOW SWEET! Pretty strumming, cool bass and rhythm, tasty vocals, lovely poetry. You're a sharp cookie when it comes to songwriting and recording. Rock on!
Love hearing her hit the mike!
You're always retuning your guitar into sideways dimensions, but it always comes out far out groovy. Suits ME fine! This is a great tune, but that's to be expected from ol' Rodger Dodger from Across the Pond! I'm so into your style -- Rock on!
Oh yes, Now that's what I'm talkin about.
You old softy. I bet you get a kiss tonight.
Ahhhh you ol" Romantic. Good one Roger. Ill play this for my Kimmy slkrell
Fun! Digging those lyrics! You sure know how to tell it like it is, but keep it all upbeat while you're at it. That lead break at the end was choice!
Oh, and Dave's harmonica didn't hurt the situation none a'tall!
My ultimate favorite Roger Dodger number. Crazy cool percussion lick, smart lyrics, righteous vocals, groovy guitar licks and effects. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH! Rock on!

Sorry Colleen, the harmonica was played by my best mate, Dave Underwood, he played on most of my tracks. Mr. Connor supplied the Bass line.
