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…

This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…

A friend got me excited about writing short instrumentals for Video, TV etc and posting them on Pond5 ( A site catering to that type of thing). I recorded this little banjo piece this morning.
I C see it all Em happen on the F evening C news
Am Someone G started C something G
C Running for Em cover, F crying the C blues
Am Your world is G just a C crumbling
C It was bad Em before and it’s F getting C worse

It's been a long absence from a regular daily practice of song writing. Covid and a major change in the family has distracted me for well over a year. Recently I've been lucky enough to drift back into old familiar things like wine soaked evenings…
Lemonade is an instrumental. It started as an early version of a co-written song with Mary Kealy Falk. We eventually settled on the 4th version of the project.
I just couldn't let this version go without doing something with it. It's the…

What’s on your mind
Are you losing confidence
Someone’s been unkind
And caring becomes a consequence
Look for a reason to smile
The Sun will shine your way
Look for a reason to smile
And watch the clouds drift away
Feeling like you…
Nice, a little Beatle sounding which is a good thing to me!! I like the way you double tracked your voice..at least that's what it sounds like..... did you sing it twice or just used computer magic?
love it!!
Comments on Ron's stuff
Excellent........
This hits the spot. I prefer brandy meself (and vodka martini) but this makes me wonder. Love the choruses.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Originally attracted by the title I stopped for a very entertaining Three minutes, nice one.
..the change of pace at the bridge works well - you'll be entitled to your royalty cheque..
Love that spring reverb. Right on the money with the mid 60's rock sound. Killer.
you guys are driving me to drinking today
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Oh yeah, love it
Yeah! Nice choice!
Love It! You are the Master!
Oh Yeah . . . I get an instant smile when I listen to this. Over the top . . . The only way to go.
*GOOD GAWD !!!* Stopped by for another listen
Good song.
crisp and sweet intro.getting old is hell
Yes, sad song, but well written. You guys did a nice job on it. I especially liked the intro.
That's really really good...... Flows right over you nicely.....
Like the tune and lyrics are fun. and musically as always very well done
Beautiful. It flows well and the music really supports the lyrics well. I have to admit . . . I was looking for at least one *"GOOD GAWD"* in there.
Funkedelic and Soulful -- masterfully composed and performed! Fabulous job! ROCK ON!
