Like anyone who happens to look, I see the signs of a failing economy all over the Country. This song is a effort to encourage folks to struggle for a more open and equitable system for the financial benefit of all of us.
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
There's a definite degree of a Bob Dylan element in this one. I like the flavor, the lyrics, the energy. You remain one of my very favorite Folk songwriter!
The struggle continues for the decent working folks to survive in a world run by "greed graft and corruption." which by a strange coincidence is the law firm that represents most of the enemy's.
A traditional piece from the renaissance arranged for flute and two classical guitars.
I used meantone tuning which is probably a bit more authentic - though so very close to 12 equal that you may not notice the difference. http://en.wikipedia…
You'll never guess who turned up last night but the old Baird himself ....Will....Him and Louie jumped up to do this one for the cellar crowd...........
It's not what you're thinking. They don't make shine around here no more, do they Vernon? VERNON! WAKE UP. This is an old song we used to sing on the way to church when Vernon DIDN"T KEEP FALLING ASLEEP ALL THE TIME!!
Thanks for the reviews, the songs in this group are very folk oriented some songs are from the thirties and some much older. I wrote my offerings with these styles in mind.
This is just a really simple string/piano piece that resulted from two years of half-hearted tinkering. As of now the cello is too loud and the snare sounds too sample-y, but I'd appreciate any other criticism.
This is an absolutely beautiful song written by Jon Foreman for his side project Fiction Family and I felt like givin it a shot soo I just kinda learnt it and threw it together theres a few flubbups but they kinda workout well in the end
enjoy :)
Written by John Stevens, Grieving Old Man is the lead-off track on Mama Corn's debut CD. A tale of unrequited love, the song's upbeat melody and catchy chorus make it one of those songs that stick in your head long after you've heard it.
This is the latest remix of this old tune. I think I would call it progressive rock.

Drums: Jean Pierre Taboga, Belgium

Oops, I pasted the wrong description here when I did the latest update. Of course this song is instrumental, as you may have noticed. ;)
The guitar tracks were done by Alina Yudaeva from Russia. The song is old and still not quite done as all…

Very nice. Like a continuation of CITY OF NEW ORLEANS
Good story telling and fun to hear the banjo.
Greg Connor RULES! But so do you! ;)
Looney Toon characters like Bugs Bunny are the masters of Chutzpah.
Still digging it!
