-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…

Tranquil guitar and a voice like a glove wrapped in velvet.
I remember Mrs. Groovy Sunshine from Phys Ed. class. She was quite a beauty in her day and we needed sunglasses to feel comfortable looking at her. Unfortunately, because of the co2 emissions in the atmosphere, over time, she became unbearable and I had to drop her class, much preferring Mrs. Cool'n Cloudy.

Simpler Days is a ballad by drummer-Matt.
While I was mixing it the words caught me off guard and the song stirred up some emotional stuff that I'm hoping might come through for the wider listening public.
This has a nice country joe groove and feel to it and I love the melody. It would help to share the lyrics they aren't really standing out enough for these old ears... not a criticism just sayin' I'm old. :) Thank you for sharing as always.
More groovy vibes from your friends here in Boston!😘
Lyrics-
Emily Cline couldn’t make up her mind
Whether to stay or to leave me behind
She’s etched in my memory permanently
But she couldn’t decide what she felt about me
They say…

Another Proods Rocker from Brian. I love his lead guitar on this one…sort of reminds me of Steely Dan, or some other classic rock tune.
More great stuff on the way….also, be sure to check out our remixed tracks.
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…thousands of followers worldwide!
Here’s another track by Brian…channeling his inner heavy-metal lover….
It was fun working on this, though I prefer the OTHER version that we did. A groovy 1960’s styled version…
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…

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…
It was 3 degrees this morning and with a new/used dulcimer in the house, well, the only thing to do is write a song.

It's nice the way this old ghost-ship of a website comes alive any time you post a song....reminds me of the old days, when this place was a real nice musical community.
The song is another good one, too.
This was an attempt at using the keyboard to make an instrumental invoking looking for something, thinking it had been found, then finally finding it. Or, put another way, this was a way to practice piano.
Hello Mike. Thank you for the tips on miking a kit, tips that I’ll definitely take into consideration.
As far as your inquiry of our influences, we’re three dudes who have all been in bands both together and otherwise since the 1980’s. Our influences are all over the place, but I’d say that pop music from the 1960’s looms large with all of us…me especially. Almost all of my tunes are straight-up attempts at capturing that groovy vibe….anything that the Wrecking Crew worked on, as well as the mop-tops.
I’m a genuine fan of your stuff, so please keep ‘em coming.

Good job. It's so clear.....I've been trying to get that clean drum sound the a machine creates and wonder if it's even WORTH having a human drummer!
We'll keep him around for the sake of friendship.

well Reg just wanted to express himself this afternoon so he got to it .....
Freedom to exspress
If I’ve got something to say
Well I’m going to say it
If i got something I want to do
Then I’m gonna do it
I believe…
This song was a favorite of a dear friend we lost a year ago. It felt like a good song to practice the piano. This was the first try -- not that it was good, but it just kept getting worse.
The vocals sound distant because they are... the microphone…
I'm not a stickler for pristine recordings....in fact, there are albums that I insist sound BETTER on old vinyl.
This recording is soulful, raw and terrific. Well done.
I did several quick jams in October, and this was my favorite of the set. I built up the beat on the Deluge and played my favorite xd brass preset live (C# Minor).
Reg decided to go busking down on the subway....
On the subway
Stood on the subway playing my music
As the world rushes by
Lost in a world of my own making
I don’t get washed away in the tide
Its lonely out here where…

I like monster movies. No idea what you’re talking about, but it’s a good mix.

Cool...I feel like I'm about to watch an episode of Breaking Bad.
Nice...that's some mighty fine pickin' and singin'.

I love it...it's like the Mamas and Papas.
Sounds like the last tune of a rockin' holiday party, right before they kick everyone out.
That baby notice use to be everywhere.....nice rendition. Oops...whoa, kazoo!???

I can almost imagine what X the Astronaut looks like.
😃Nice!
Good job. It's so clear.....I've been trying to get that clean drum sound the a machine creates and wonder if it's even WORTH having a human drummer! We'll keep him around for the sake of friendship.
Very nice. Here's hoping you expand on it.....twas a tad brief.
This was not what I was expecting...cool.
Great. Y'all are true Rockers.
Amazing.
I'm not a stickler for pristine recordings....in fact, there are albums that I insist sound BETTER on old vinyl. This recording is soulful, raw and terrific. Well done.
Love this.
Definitely makes me wish I had a better keyboard!
Ooh….very nice. I’ll be back to listen to this.
So good!
Wow….soulful.
