Just listening in my office to this awesome playlist! Sometimes I forget and think I am back in college, listening to the B52's, and then sometimes other great bands of the era. Thanks for being the playlist to my Monday!
I dream of peace and a million just like me... what an awesome lyric. This was a really bright and happy song, even though the world isn't quite there yet! Great song!!
This is from Dylan's album Oh Mercy. In spite of an intention to stop posting covers of songs and work on something angry and new, I got to the end of this without messing up the piano and only barely mangling the lyrics, I got too excited and…
Hope the sound is okay ( I know, I suck at that part). Not much into Christmas for various reasons but tried to be at least a little positive and present this to those that might like to hear it. Have a great holiday and share if you'd like.
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).

Just the title alone made me listen. Nice Doors vibe.
What a find . . . A real treat to listen to, and a wonderful message.
..like driving with the top down on a sunny day..
Cool
Good stuff, flows nicely and feels effortless. Yeah, thumbs up.

The kind of sunshine I've come to expect from you. Very lovely - uplifting, retro, tight as a drum. Love it!
Sorry I misunderstood it's the way it was worded. Thanks for the kind words and keep making music it's all the world has left that is pure.
This is really REALLY good!
Did you come from Heaven?
Cool retro vibe as usual. You lads always make me smile!
Retro sunshine, as only you can!
Somehow you make "you don't love me anymore" still sound upbeat and happy! La La La La La! Love it ;-)
Hi to Joe and and the guys. Nice polish on this. One of my faves.
This hits the spot! I agree with previous comments, Byrds, Kinks, something from a long lost era. The song feels very familiar to me. Very inviting.
great, and funny
You have great atmosphere in your songs.
hilariously good
This is so good! Sounds like the byrds era music. nice lyrics

Well done….i’ll have to check out the original, I’ve never heard this one. You shouldn’t curb the covers….it’s ALL better than AI.
There’s still amazing stuff to be found here at this site!😃
You MUST have some Lou Reed music in your collection...this song reminds me of his album New York.
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!

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.

Love this.
Definitely makes me wish I had a better keyboard!
