I love Colabs

The other night I was sitting out watching a little fire in my backyard, and thinking about how useless it is to let the past dictate our present and future. This one is dedicated to all of us with relationships in our history that have no place…

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…
Great stuff the lyrics moved me and I take pride In being a stoic
The picking style is driving in an old timey way
This is really fine good work , Andrew
It’s like floating down a river
When you’re not quite in control
That river’s going to take you
Only where it wants to go
So you reach out with conviction
At debris along the way
That river’s going to take you
If you give up and say…

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…
Huge rain thunder and lightning storm swept thru, and right behind
a bunch of frogs serenaded us ........ Bull frogs. ...are allright
wish I had recorded their song it would fit in here
This song is a work in progress. I attended an online songwriting workshop hosted by Chad Shank (Minnesota Songwriters Association) who was talking about songs with varying length lines to create more of a conversational atmosphere and the use…
The June Music album in a month thingie has two sort of musical themes. One is sloooooow tempos. The other is a lot of the songs have very sparse guitar parts. Neither thing was planned, they both just happened.
I kinda like this one…
Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…

I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

Acoustic tale of revenge. Recorded 2010 on a Boss BR1600CD.

**The Knife - A A J Russe**
A dark and star-less night
Probably driving rain
That's what they think became of me
A foolish walk along the cliff when he was drunk…
I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
Over cooking is how I want to eat it up
Rocks brother man rocks so wide
Burn that into my unconsciousness
Smokes my rhino hide
That means ,I like it mikey
Comments on slkrell's stuff
Very refreshing sound - but the heavy breathing reminds of someone... not sure it's Colleen though! lol
Yes I could hear Colleen breathing, and as far as I can tell, it sounds like you were far behind trying to catch up while recording.
Can't beat a good ole fashion love song.
Oh yes. I'm liking this big time. A: Sweet song. B: That guitar... whoa... Luther Perkins lives on...
Kim my is one lucky gal!
Rita and I are listening together. She wants to know why I never wrote a song about HER !

This is one beautiful song!!! You always tell such a wonderful story. Great vocals too! Enjoy the "out of doors!"
Snacks with a “special flavor” indeed!..... hilarious!!!
Is that's what living in Arkansas will do for you? You are getting some nice clear recordings with your new set up.
"snacks with a special flavour" hehe

Ok. The weather is turning nice so I am out doors for the season . Ill be listening to you all but gonna stop uploading . see you on the back side
I'm falling off the sofa in hysterics here... love it.
Oh this is WELL COOL. Giving Mrs R a tour of the MTBottles peeps. I haven't heard Mark Imsdahl for ages and ages ... so smooth.
Rocks!
Great stuff !!! Great groove.
Sounds like you are on a roll ! Way to pluck on them strings. If you play long enough you'll work off that caffeine rattle.
There should be a "happily" somewhere in that last comment (in case she's reading... hehe)
