Thanks for listening on commenting, James! And I love it when you tell us all something about the background of your songs. I wish I'd have the time to listen more often. You are one of the last "true song writers" IMO.
I like the way you play the voices against eachother. Very strong melodies.
Also, Thanks for listening to my music and commenting. The song about Jack Hardy is a very "in" joke. I make gentle fun of an American legend. He's gone on since then. I played it once when I opened for him. We were friends and fans of eachother.
@doktordoktor:
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
It's actually more abandoned than finished, as I did not want to wait for real drums any longer. But I might revisit it one day and finish it off. :)
According to John this lyric was inspired by the weird visions of a former sports reporter who now thinks the people in high political places are actually lizard men from space. :D

I just listened to this again (good thing about home office: you can listen to music all day long, if you want). Definitely one of my favorites of yours.

Thanks for listening and commenting, J.M.! Man, I haven't been here in a long time. Good to see that you are still active. I hope I'll find the time to listen to your new songs. I have always liked your songwriting. I guess I should update some of my uploaded songs. Greetings, Steffen
After seeing a quick pick up at the Leather Ball Saloon in Dallas one 1974 evening. This is a song from the album, FEATHERS IN THE WING by Snow Geese/Barbara, Michael Jeffrey and me. 1976
(50 years later, I am stunned at the starkness of this…
A rocksong...
A song that I did on my own
all instruments and vocals by me
Rain – Who will stop the rain?
Rain – Who will stop the rain?
From falling on me
Falling on you
I wish the sky was blue!
Rain – Who will stop the rain?
Rain…
a song that I did on my own
have to drive a lot for my work, wrote a lot of songs about driving and this is one of them
KC
Driving down that highway
Steppin' on the gas
Blowin' down the freeway
Honey, it's a gazz
Got my eyes wide open…
A song for Barbara and Jeff...
When love is late it doesn’t matter
It will flow back thru the cracks
Be it truth or idle chatter
Love shines sunshine on the facts
How many chapters in the story
Or how much time it spends
Be it tragedy…
My motto is INWARD THRU THE FOG. One day about a month ago, Laura 'Taylor' Whitfield told me I should, "write that song." Thinking back on a fog-bound night in California, I wrote it. Norman Pilcher, a friend from Texas, and I were headed north…

You know what, I still get that Harry Chapin vibe from your song (and voice). And I LOVE Harry Chapin!
This is another very, very good song, and a perfect performance.

My light-hearted take on a serious issue.
Over- prescription of powerful and addictive drugs, and the unknown and (to some) worrying relationship between doctors and the drug companies.

Nice tune Steffen : )
Really good. This is a great arrangement Steffen.

Oh I like this :)

This is great! Everything sounds just right.
Lovely song. Great vocals, nice guitar, good arrangement.
Very nice!
Spectacular track folks. Top of the line. Head of the class.
Top quality post, great production work made easier with a top class bunch of musicians.
Silky. For some reason I'm getting a Sade meets Genesis vibe (maybe it's the snap claps ? dunno) Solid performances all around.
It's like a strange mixture of The Call, Pete Townshend and E.L.O. Lot of cool stuff going on.
I love your guitars, man.
Brilliant!
Great song... stunning production. Loved it!

Hi, James! A very long time, indeed. I have not been here for years. Less and less time ... How have you been? Still busy writing new songs?
I just listened to this again (good thing about home office: you can listen to music all day long, if you want). Definitely one of my favorites of yours.

Great stuff, and what a beautiful voice!
Very unique ... and psychedelic. All your songs remind me of bands like the Small Faces and the like ...
Straight from the late 60s. :)
Sounds like we have the same taste!
Nice, old-school rock, just the way I like it.
Great songwriting!
How do you do that, coming up with one great tune after the other?
I don't want to repeat myself over and over. Kudos for another great song! :)

No matter which song of yours I randomly play - I almost always like it! :)

Pretty song! :)

This is a nice progrock-ish composition!
Nice! :)
