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 !!!!!
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.

Wake up in the morning, I’m still in my cloths
I got one eye open but the other wont go
Barely can remember the night before
Except for how you threw me out the door
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey
I think I’m in trouble again…

The cashier told them that someone had donated $100 toward their groceries. $100 had already been paid toward their $121 grocery…

Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
Here we go, a tender little rocker from the broom-cupboard...
A tale of regrets and wotnots.

I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
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!
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!
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!*
