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 !!!!!
Thinking about and inspired a lot by trees lately. That, and the excellent film Rivers and Tides.

Until the day is done
Dance with the wind
Circle of life has no end
Roots into the ground

Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?
Lately Ive been dreaming of you lying next to me and I realise your gone
And I cant seem to find
A way to stop these tears, from bleeding out this heart of…
Just musing about all the "can do" quotes I see on Facebook.
If I could play the fiddle, I’ll tell you what I’d do
I’d believe in what you say and I’d believe in you
But I can’t play the fiddle no matter how many I try
Since I was in the…
Once again, Greg Connor has kindly added his wonderful harmonica and Dobro to this song. Thanks so much, Greg! Mean Streak Blues is a song about how wrongly we could deal with frustration....enjoy listening

This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
We've always adored this song, there is another version but decided to re-record it. Now I think the Good Wife sounds quite good, when I think of the crap health problems she endured over the last 4 years. I am bias of course !!!! Lastly apologies…
A tune for Halloween.
I wanted to do something creepy. It works.
All Alone
I turn your knob
and throw Spot a bone
I palm your panties
when your not home
I turn the lights off
and cut your phone
I feel your fears
when you all…

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

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.
