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.

The title track. At one point I had visions of everyone singing at the end of the album (and thank you to those of you that did), but I just couldn't get it to sound right (I don't really know what I'm doing after all). So instead of voices…
You could sing the phone book, and I'd probably be amazed.
I hear elements of Garth Brooks, Don McLean, and - of course - a lot of original Keith Landry in this song. Great work, as usual!
Regards,
Steffen
I love this tune, it's a little bitter but still love it :)
i wrote it a couple of years ago, gladly it's here now, i really hope you like it.

My cyber friend Tony Jones , added some keys , percussion and lead , transforming my song into something i couldn't have dreamed of
To the Welsh Wizard , many thanks
The trees turned blue
And the sky outside is yellow
I hear you sigh
While you dream of purple cellos
I don’t in dream in colors baby
nor in black and white
and I can’t tell what’s up or down
or wrong and right
You turned blonde
When I thought…
There was this biker bar called The 2500 Club. Just west of Sylvania on Belknap. On a sign outside it says, "The best little biker bar in Texas." Guthrie and Rick and I played there long enough to get to feeling pretty much like family.
EVERYBODY…
It was about sunrise when I met this guy on the streets of the French Quarter and bought him coffee. I don't know if he's still around -- that was some 20 years ago -- but a two-hour conversation affected my life more than I would have ever known…
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....
This one is called “Stoneâ€...
Peace

Vocal and Lyrics by Jim Higgins
we raced…
Frank has turned up at Reg's cellar with Louis and the Duke with a tune that Frank is claiming to be about his latest love affair, so naturally Reg switched on his tape recorder........
The Regs go jazz ... I'm really not much of a jazz fan, but your music is different in a very positive way. So it's no wonder that I do like this song! :)

Steffen

THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME
What remains of an eagle that's fallen
The roots of an oak tree now claim
To draw sap for the shade for the cattle
O're the child with the beautiful name
The law…
I first heard this song yesterday when I was listening to you reading "I bury my dead", and I immediately loved it. I'm sure I would have loved it without hearing the story too, but it sure adds a lot of meaning and depths to it.
Great work, James!
You are the master of minimalism! Great work.
Just one note: The music ends somewhere around 2'50, but the length of the mp3 is 4'48. Wrong locator settings during the audio export?

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!

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.

This is a true gem. Fantastic music! Regards, Steffen
This is what I call root folk: original, rough, authentic. And a great performance. Nice job, Mike! Thanks for sharing. Regards, Steffen

I don't know the original song, but your version is perfect for me. Regards, Steffen
This turned out nicely. Great mix, Diego!
Very nice and relaxing, Rob! Good work, and a great way to start the day.
As pretty as I expected it to be. Your calm, relaxing songs are just perfect after a long day at work. Regards, Steffen
I'm pretty sure this could have become a hit back in the 70s. Great song, James!
Reminds me of an acoustic Nils Lofgren album. Very nice, powerful playing and singing. Your voice is perfect for this music. Regards, Steffen
Very pretty - I love the light mixture of folk and new age. Regards, Steffen
The Regs go jazz ... I'm really not much of a jazz fan, but your music is different in a very positive way. So it's no wonder that I do like this song! :) Regards, Steffen
This one is a gem too. Thanks for sharing! Regards, Steffen
Wonderful! The lo-fi mix adds a very nice authentic touch to it, and the vocal performance is awesome.
You have a pretty voice. Very nice.
Everything has been said already. Great job! Regards, Steffen
Very nice! I think the tempo is just right, and the song is very catchy. Thanks for sharing! Regards, Steffen

Hey, that's an unexpected style from you. Nice old-school (60s) feel.
