Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain

This is a fine recording as it is, clean and clear, well played and sung. I like it a lot. If Greg, Steve and I do a version of this, don't take down this one. Great job!

I really like how you sang this one. This is a particularly groovy number. It puts such a big smile on my face, and considering all I'm going through right now, I truly appreciate the smile -- thank you!
That's a fine job you did there wit' dat dare banjer! You vocals recorded particularly well in dis here number. Good tale, well told -- an all around great job!
Wow..A herculean effort, this showcases your growth in arranging a song as well as any professional studio out there. Good song and amazing song crafting
Peggy taught me an Eagles song toward the end off our life together. I think it was NEW BOY IN TOWN. (I had no idea what she was telling me.) I took the chord progression from that song and wrote this. Peggy said that was cheating.

I used to chide my mother

The cemetery. The old folks home

I used to laugh at Mother
She saw the pain in every eye

Comments on terrysongs's stuff
Ha, I recognize that singer. Love this.
Its is for the most part true. I feel that having a garden probably gave my father a great sense of accomplishment 🧡
Good Stuff!
This is GREAT Terry!
Now That is Folk Music!
Terry -- good job!
Ah . . . Good Times!
I love this! I wish I had heard it before we put the other version up. I completely missed it until now.
'Tiz za seazun fer diz one! Happy holidays to you! Keep it real!
Gorgeous!
Sweet!
It peaks in places and buzzes my speaker at those points -- maybe bring down the volume by 3dbs -- but otherwise it's really cool.
Nice reverb and long hallway effect!
This is a fine recording as it is, clean and clear, well played and sung. I like it a lot. If Greg, Steve and I do a version of this, don't take down this one. Great job!

One of your better recordings, good music, powerful lyrics, sung well.
Ditto what Greg Connor said below me.
I really like how you sang this one. This is a particularly groovy number. It puts such a big smile on my face, and considering all I'm going through right now, I truly appreciate the smile -- thank you!
It's all about the dance, so keep dancing my friend. You have a gift for lyrics. This one says it all.

A slight departure from the usual Greg . nice easy groove though and wrap around sound.

Wowzer! nifty sound Greg, that baby really gives a professional sound to the work.
Great lyric,And that guitar is sounding real good. Good song.
You never sounded like a So-and-so to me
It's good to hear your voice again Mike.
Yep, thats the way of it.
Smile...it's allot of fun Robert,
Hey Peter glad you got something up here on alonetone.
Slick intro. It still holds up as a motivation song.
Beautiful Greg Connor song,It's good here a new one.
Tremors and trepidations ,could be glad to be shed of you, or of going out ahead of you Kind of a friendly sounding ditty.
A comfortable sound ,well done
neat look at the human condition.
crisp and sweet intro.getting old is hell
Good poem, and good reminder that we have been given much
there seems to be a little lighter lift in the new songs since the guitar found it's way back to you.
Now we reach that wanderlust that temporary resident soul, that hides in all of us travelers.
make me shiver just to think about it.
You are Still one of the true originals ,and your sound is smoothing out nicely
