Gary the drummer bought a new song along we are working on in our band "BIG BAD DOG" with Jon on Guitar and myself on vocals....the recording is a bit shit but hey were trying.......Watch out the band BIG BAD DOG will be performing near you soon…
I believe after years experts will talk about this like: "You know, it reminds me of, uh ... Trevor... Yes, it was Trevor!"
And they, who knows will smile with meaningful glances at each other - "Yes", they will say, "WE KNEW".

I like it.

I've done this one before but i thought i'd re-record for the workfest on the otherside....
NO SATISFACTION
it’s the Grey of the morning,
and the alarms ringing loud
right in the midst of a dream
as it sings out loudand proud
it wakes me…

Damn that's some mighty purty tickling of the keys! Digging the lyrics and vocals -- bittersweet delivery, the vocals doing the lyrics great justice. You got this one right!

Is this a repost or did I not click on "send" when I commented on this before? well, either way, one of my favorites from you, most especially the lyrics, but for the guitar and vocals too.
I like how you execute them keys, emphasizing here and gently caressing there. Same with your vocals. You put feeling, real emotion, in what you do, in an age when too much of the music being made is flat, mechanical, plastic, and soul-less. Good job. Thanks for being real with the rest of us.
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan
I wake up every morning
My jaw is clenched so tight
Even in my dreams it’s a battle
Who’s wrong and…
Music written and performed by Mike Smith, also known as Dragonsong.
When Mike first asked me to read this poem, he believed it was written around the time of the Spanish Flu...but, our sources say no. It was most likely written by Kitty O…
I wrote this one in response to a song writing challenge from the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The title had to be Mississippi Moon and it had to have a I V VI I II chord progression somewhere in the song. Over 20 writers have signed…
This is the last song on The edge of Winter but it is not finished there is another part yet to be written ...
Winter's tale of woe : Part 1 - The end of winter. Part 2 - The last snowstorm
This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…
Tim Chandler was a tall man with a big heart and a great sense of humor. He was the bassist for a number of bands including Daniel Amos, The Choir, and The Swirling Eddies. He also played bass on sessions and tours for Phil Keaggy, Randy Stonehill…

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…
Do you ever have an idea / song that you just need to get out of you and recorded, even though it's so rough that you'll want to re-do it over and over again? This is one of those for me....
Drive Until The Signal Dies
Verse 1
Your Silence…

Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…
Well you’ve proved to yourself your not “crap” reminds me of something my father would say to me time and time again “ don’t touch that you’ll break it “ and I normally did. Pleased you saved this one from the shoe box an excellent lyric love it pie pod bound along with all your others 😁

I wrote this song about my father and Dementia/Alzheimer's over a year and a half ago. We just finished the song and video, kind of surreal because Dad is in a nursing…
My mother recently died of Alzheimer’s after a long illness and I can say you’ve certainly captured the disease with this track, the desperate confusion, the fear and loss an excellent bit of work . My heart goes out to you or anyone who has to deal with Dementia it’s a horror You grieve while the loved one is still alive.
After the lockdown, I felt Out of the Darkness. It's still a long way to go but at least I can breath fresh air and walk immersed in nature once again.

Nice keys
I believe after years experts will talk about this like: "You know, it reminds me of, uh ... Trevor... Yes, it was Trevor!" And they, who knows will smile with meaningful glances at each other - "Yes", they will say, "WE KNEW". -- I like it.
Nice one great organ
An interesting, tasty chord arrangement. Cool poetry. Digging that trippy organ.
I really enjoyed that -- great job on that organ! Rock on!
Loving the Germanium transistor distortion on the guitar (or whatever it is you used there)
nice tune. vocals remind me a bit of Alvin Stardust and “The King” ;-)
Wow! What a journey...
Crumbs - this thing is a *masterpiece* and I'm only halfway through it! Were you trying to do your entire rpm challenge on the first track?!! hehe
Dig the accent.
Funny shit man!
Stylish! I dig that little walking bridge at 4:30 - Too smooth man.
There's nothing like a good tinkle on the ivory's :)
Sweet keyboards!!
Damn that's some mighty purty tickling of the keys! Digging the lyrics and vocals -- bittersweet delivery, the vocals doing the lyrics great justice. You got this one right!
Passionate lyrics... nice
WoW! Grind it out...Reminds me of Screaming j Hopkins.
