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!
A classic '60s flavored Folk Rock sound. Honest lyrics, pleasant vocals, groovy progression, gentle rhythm. It's great to have "the Dodger" back! I dig your style, Mr. Harris!
While you're at it, get Sunshine and Intended up on your new account here. I really dig that harmonica! This is a really tasty Blues, and you are so really good at writing and performing Blues. You know you're in my top 5 list of favorite songwriters on AloneTone.
Chord progression reminds me of early era Deep Purple, vocals & guitar remind me of New Morning Era Bob Dylan. For me, that's a very nice combo. Really great track! :-)
Well, IF YOU eveh spend time above the 45 th parallel
You know all about the northern view
So here is my imaginary solution to a northern cold ass winter

Here is the latest song challenge offered by the Minnesota Asscociation of Songwriters:
. . . . . . . .
Your mission this month is twofold:
1. Try creating a boundary between the production of content versus the judging…
Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…
A friend got me excited about writing short instrumentals for Video, TV etc and posting them on Pond5 ( A site catering to that type of thing). I recorded this little banjo piece this morning.
I C see it all Em happen on the F evening C news
Am Someone G started C something G
C Running for Em cover, F crying the C blues
Am Your world is G just a C crumbling
C It was bad Em before and it’s F getting C worse
Am You think you G…
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.

I like that bass

In the traditional Harris-style; slick, sly, and tasty!

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!

I didn’t think people living in Portsmouth (Paradise) ever got the blues. It’s fun to catch up to you Roger!
O M G I didn't recognize you until I clicked play! That voice gave you away. Nice song, introspective and pleasing to listen to.
Nice mello Blues... I like your vocals on this. So melancholy
