First things first, many, many thanks to Greg for adding Bass and a Great Harp break. Don't tell my mate Dave, my normal Harp buddy, he's been ill with Flu.
I scratched my head for many months after I wrote this, I couldn't work out where it came from. The light bulb did turn on at last,I realized I wrote it a few weeks after my father passed away. Bless Dad you inspired a song.

An old one remastered. Thought I'd be posh and call it that !!!! Didn't realize I wrote this 7 years ago, it is a bit of a rant, quietly !!! I apologise in advance if any one is offended by the Lyrics, just my opinion !!!!
Roger, this is Gene Eric Mann, using one of my alternative accounts on AloneTone (4 altogether). Anyway, you've done it again (although this is 7 years old for you, it's new to me). I love the way you write and record -- you've been one of my all-time favorites ever since I found you on ezFolk. This is a great tune. Hey, do you still have a copy of the song about the guy escaped from jail that you did to an instrumental track I composed? I'd dig hearing that one again.
Really don't know about this one. Feels like I've nicked it from some where or is it just a load rubbish !!!! Any way I've put it out there now. If rubbish it is, I'll take on the chin...... and sulk for a week or two !!!!!!
I don't know why, with you being one of my all-time favorite songwriter and recording artist, that I've neglected to visit your page for awhile. This is a fine example of your Rockin', signature sound. FABULOUS!

I suppose you could call this a Lament of sorts, I call it a bit of fun, and it was fun to record. Thanks Aimee, ( my daughter ) for the new strings for my birthday. they came in useful !!!!!
:)
I listened before the "About" was in. I was thinking "why can't I write happy songs like this?" ... and then the verse after the instrumental arrived and put it right in the same ballpark as the lyrics I'd just been typing up!!!

An old song revisited. My attempt of writing a Ye Olde style Folk song !!!! The old version is still deep down in My Tracks, be a where the sound is awful !!!!!
This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week.
I'm working on finding out how to get acoustic stuff down consistently and effectively within the confines of what I've got here - I wasn…
A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
Well I found a little Middle 8... I hope !!
Sure you guys will tell me if it's Rubbish !!!
I think it's more of a 'rounded' song now.
Fingers crossed !!!!!
I sat watching Tom Jones on BBC4 this evening and thought i'd try and write him a song now i just have to find his management meet up with Tom sign a contract and get him to sing it then i should make a few bob...well it is Christmas you've gotta…
I started this thinking it would be a tune with the emphasis on my guitar but as it progressed I heard horns and then all these other things happened and this is what I ended up with.
Another old one. I sort of call it my 'Ram' moment !!! As if !! Anyway, I can remember I wrote this 3 or 4 weeks after my mother passed away. Yeh, I know, a strange song to write, I like to think I was celebrating her life. She was a great Mum…
Not everyone loves Christmas.........Poor old Reg he’s just got to learn to let go of those bad memories and enjoy life again instead of hanging on to the past....come on Reg Drink up.....It's nearly Christmas only 24 days to go........
All…
I got me a new mic and a pre-amp and I picked up the Jumbo Eko (I'll do this again when my fingertips have recovered). I tried to do finger picking when I was a teen, but didn't pursue it as it seemed like too much hard work at the time. Today…
This was completely written by Andy...he wanted to enter this in a song writing contest for a Humane Society thing in England...the song had to be about a dog's poor life and death alone.....I think he did a great job all I added was the guitar…
Comments on Roger M. Harris's stuff
I've lost this on my P.C. but found it on an old account here. Does anyone know where the Download go to ? ?
I like it. Well done. :) - The Mystery Tramp
Merry Christmas to one and all. Must catch up with over Christmas. Roger.
Think I give up here. There is a New Track elsewhere, just search : Soundcloud / Roger M Harris to hear 'Who Got Burned'
Will be back on here , one day, when someone in power gets their ARSE in gear and sorts out the fact that I CAN'T SIGN IN ?!**!?*!?**
You've yet to write a bad song!
Still can't Log in, 3 months now, think I've lost the will to live. Roger.

I love everything you do. You have a groovy voice, an interesting style, and an awesome way with words, Mr. Dodger -- Rock on!

Thank you for your uplifting music. :)
Lovely uplifting composition - super sweet mix.
Nice *"Back To The Country"* song. I like that Open A tuning.

Great groove. Very nice...
Good song, enjoyed !
Nice, I like this, great rhythm playing and vocals!
Does the business :)
I. Think I know this woman that you are singing about. She really gets around. Nice harmonica Dave!
Sitting here on Saturday afternoon, playing along to your tune across the pond. *You gotta love the internet!*
