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. :)
Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Lyrics by Brian McCloskey in somewhat of a suprise collab. Musically a kind of feel-good soul-pop. I quite like how this turned out, and nominated it my prefered RPM-track this year.
New version uploaded 12 Dec 2010.
A slow, scaled down, bluesy song with tremolo guitar, soaring organ and close up vocals.
Don't Ever
(Words & Music by Jana Persson)
I wanna hide no more
And I wanna close the door
Don't ever leave me
Never decieve me
Don't ever…
This song is a tribute to the slick Californian music branded "Westcoast", that was all the rage back around the turn of the 1980's.

This is an older song and hey, you'll finally get to hear me sing badly! This was under my old name Piscean Dream so I couple of you may or may not have heard this before. Thanks for listening!
This song is dedicated to my van...the Pumpkin.
She took me all the way from Winnipeg to St. John's, Newfoundland. On the way home she died on the 40 East between Quebec City and Montreal where i had to let her go.
Oh Pumpkin you have been good…
A simple song...
Take a hold of the persons hand next to you and let these words pass from your center to theirs.
be blessed as you listen.
You are valued
you are valued
you are special to me
The old tin geetar...
Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
Acoustic blues. Recorded in 2005. I was trying to record something else, can't remember what, and the missus was going out. She had cyclist Lance Armstong's book, or was talking about it. Sounded like a great title for a song as well as his book…
Please don't mind the 20 seconds of silence...use it to enter in.
From one being to another...
"I will open my eyes to you
even when a fear awaits your gaze
please don't hesitate to look inside
for I won't hide
I will be honest…
Rock instrumental. Recorded Christmas 2008.
I'd struggled with a DAW. I'd stopped recording. And then my lovely wife got me a Boss MBR for Christmas. I thought this little thing the size of a fag-packet would be a nice "scratch-pad" songwriting…
A cover of Larry Wallis's fine ditty (it's always been one of my favourite Dr Feelgood songs).
This was my second recording with my Boss MBR, recorded early 2009. It confirmed for me that I was a "standalone recorder" kind of guy, and there was…
Pop-rock tale about a character in a novel that I fancied. Recorded in 2009 on a Boss MBR.

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

Great.
Hey J.L. and Bethan! Thanks for stopping by! :)
Hey stoman¡¡¡Regards.Jean Lui
Oh I like this :)
Thanks for listening! :)

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!
Comments made by stoman
Wonderful folk music. Great listen!
Man, you have the right touch.
Very pretty. I'm downloading all your songs to listen thoroughly again later. And again. And again ... :)
Nice song and superb production.
Great music, my friend!
Wow, you still sound pro! Very nice music. Thanks for sharing!
Nothing bad about that voice. And the music is pretty good too.
This is a classy song, Geir. Love the rhythm.
You have such a wonderful voice, Rob. And the songwriting and arrangement are superb. Favorited and downloaded! :)
Very nice job, guys. Great listen.
A worried warrior maybe. ;) :P I must admit that this is not my preferred style, but you do it so well ...
Catchy and beautiful. Great job!
By now I thank I can download your tracks to my mp3 player without even listening. :) Very, very nice.
Pretty like the other songs. And your last name is a perfect attribute for your voice.
A fine little blues. When I hear you do such vocals I'm always afraid you'll lose your voice! ;)
You tell me I can handle different styles? It's you who really can! Great guitar playing!
The latest two comments were by me. I did not realize that I was not logged in. Stupid old me. ;)
We owe your wife something. :)
I don't know the original, but this one is pretty good.
Great 70s vibe to my ears. Give us more! :)
