a very delightful, entertaining composition. Alice did a particularly tasteful job -- great delivery. Digging the sax job too. The drums are likewise well done. Some nice moves on the bass too. This really is a great compilation of sounds -- excellent flow.

This is an instrumental song I composed roundabout 7 years ago. Finally we got around to recording it with real instruments, and the band is:
Frank Zax: Guitars
Andy Gupta: Bass
Mark R. Cole: Drums:
Steffen Offermann: Synthesizers, Music…
Oh yes, like it a lot. I was thinking "very pleasant, where's it going to go? We've got another 3 minutes at least"... and then at about 50 seconds it told me.
I was sitting there taking it all in... and it finished before I knew it!
Fine job.

Thanks @JMT and @Wildgeas!
I just uploaded a new mix with Andreas Hülsen on drums. He used an electronic kit with the same samples that I had used in my version, so when he sent me the MIDI file, I was able to reproduce the original sound, just with the human feel of a real drummer playing the drums. :)
Angela Wehman wrote lyrics for and sang to my old tune "Winter In Moscow". This is work in progress (I want to replace the midi instruments with real ones and start from scratch).

Hi, Angela,
Joel, new here, and decided to comment. I like stuff like this. Sounds good. Evocative, I can't get rid of the bare branches and Gorky Park with stuff like this. I'm always a promoter of more dramatic stuff like it. I saw you mention the midi. I know these are all home setups, so it's hard to get anything. Somehow I would like to separate the voice from the low Russian register of the instrumental arrangement. Not sure how. I'd like to think somehow sing out. I would imagine that you are not much of a Soprano, but being a story teller, presiding over the background of a real orchestra, an impartial commentator of tragedy and triumph, like the beginning of Carmina Burana, or All That She Wants, by Ace of Base, clearly describing the scene. Reticent a bit, maybe. Bringing it out a bit could make it sing. Alice in Wonderland says "No personal comments", but, I guess what the heck. Saludos.
The drums in this version are electronic, but played by a human drummer.

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…
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.
TROJAN capo @ 3 in C

He can’t hold both their hands but he must stand between them and you know it’s for nothing he (C) did
And you (F) know it’s…
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.

@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. :)
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.

What Gene said. Major production.
Nice guitar licks, great vocals, good music. Choice bass line.

Smooth. Wish you had mixed the voices up more, tho.
Classy!
Oh yes, like it a lot. I was thinking "very pleasant, where's it going to go? We've got another 3 minutes at least"... and then at about 50 seconds it told me. I was sitting there taking it all in... and it finished before I knew it! Fine job.

Most deserving of World recognition. Well done folks.
Love the guitar sound. "There will be people you wish you'd never met." Great big sound. Great production.
Cool song stoman.
Hi, Stoman. Joel, here. Like I was saying, I like the song. Apparently, this was a fav of angela740. Newby. Keep it up.

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! :)
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.
No matter which song of yours I randomly play - I almost always like it! :)
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.
Pretty song! :)
Hey J.L. and Bethan! Thanks for stopping by! :)
Thanks for listening! :)

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