Travel back with us to 1962…the Place, the shores of the River Mersey.
Umbrella Book is a song about a book….eh, I’m not gonna explain it to y’all.
Slap on a pair of drainies and some Italian heeled boots and you’re on your way to some nostalgic…
Hey gang! It’s us again, The Proods…though there are rumblings in the band that we may be changing our name.
Here’s another track by Brian…channeling his inner Ozzy once again.
It was fun working on this, though I prefer the OTHER 1960’s style…
Yes…we’re TRYING to do an AC~DC thing here.
The song was written by our lovable drummer Matt, but we all had fun working on it. (The Angus-style guitar lick was mine.)
As always, the song is introduced to the band, kicked around and recorded…

-Mrs. Groovy Sunshine-
Lyrics…
As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room
and your record player fails to chase away your gloom
I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night
I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…
This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…

Lyrics…
I come from a place called “Amereeca”
Naw, you don’t come from “Amereeca”
I come from a place called “Amereeca”
Naw, you don’t come from “Amereeca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa
You come from…
Ok, I know that it appears that The Proods have been posting so grim music of late, but this song started out as an homage to one of the Lady-Proods, and just kinda got away from us.
More stuff following….bright, chipper love songs.

We haven't been this excited about a track in a while.
Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!

I just might be hiding behind your bedroom door
you might find me lying under your bed, down on the floor
You swear you hear the creekin' coming up the stairs
you got your eye on the peep-hole and nobody's there…
This short thing is the earliest guitar composition of mine that I can still remember how to play.
Original composition date unknown, although I'm pretty sure I played this at the old house we used to live in - so composition must have taken…
I really enjoyed listening to your latest batch of music. It brought to to places I wasn't expecting on a work day...melancholy places of my youth. Thank you for that.
This one is still in progress, Jon the guitarist sent me a riff which i stuck together to get a kinda structure...so this is take 1....
I'm gonna kill a Mockingbird
That mockingbird mocks me with your name
I'm still not over you and it's causing…
I really dig the beat poet groove of this tune ...bongos? Far out baby!!! The audio at the end nearly tore me to pieces! If you cats are firin' up the grill, I wanna be there man.
Live rehearsal Sept. 17,2015. He's Gone by Grateful Dead (Lyrics by Robert Hunter, Music by Jerry Garcia).
Dedicated to Jacques Amann, R.I.P.
My uncle Jacques introduced me to this music as a young child - he was a huge influence…
Well . . my last (latest) recording. I know it's self indulgent, but I wanted to end my Instrumental Observation recordings with something moving !? I had already sold my bass, so I used a bass/synth patch for the low end and tried to utilize…
Sometimes I hear something so good on this site that it makes me wonder if it's original work...apart from being a cover from a video game that is. This is a terrific rendition of this tune...a bunch of fun.
i’m just a twisted guy whose fallen from paradises sky
i’m curled into a ball
of fury and fire
cause i want
your love
give me give me your love
i’m demanding your love
i’m twisting and turning baby
i cant let it out
i need you…
Using a drum program, I wanted to incorporate the 'horns' from the Roland GR-55 (ala 'Chicago') so I began layering guitars to accompany the 'horns'. This is what I ended up with.
John and i are in the process of trying to write a blues album and here is our first attempt to throw at your ears. Hope you enjoy! Johns musicianship is Bloody excellent i just hope i can keep up...
The sun in my mouth
the leaf on my back
the crown on my tree
forever let alone
in reverie
can't you see her

Heyyy, nice to hear from you all again. Excellent song! It's very robust and autumnal. One of your better tracks (if not best) I think.

Oh my dear Proods! Such angst! I love this. The melancholy beach vibe is perfect.
