Brett Service harmony, organ, plus mixing and mastering. Mike Duran plays slide, and Steve Layman the piano. thank you, gentlemen, sounds great.
When it hits the fan i hope that someone is there for you. Dan added the strings.
the plan: write a simple song and find two incredibly talented guys to make it sound good. Brett Service (acoustic, keyboard, harmony) and Mike Duran (lead guitar/synth) are all over this one.
and yet another existential crisis gave birth to this one. i've always considered the harmonica a wonderfully expressive instrument. fun to play too.
had this up before as an add on to another song. thought it deserved its own spot. its my favorite of my own songs. just a guy and his guitar....the lyrics are very personal for me.
remake of one i did a while back with Mike Bennett. changed some chords, the arrangement, and tried to improve the vocals. thanks for getting this one started Mike. and thanks to Brett Service for mastering it. the guy has the knack.
a remake using Mike Bennett's backer. i added vocals and acoustic. My son Dan does the alto sax solo.
my son Dan added some clever keyboard work and Brett Service kindly mastered the finished song.
my oldest son, Jake, kept asking for a reggae song. this is the closest i could come up with.
sometimes when you've been kicked around a bit its hard to believe. dan played keyboard.
mike bennett sent me the backer. i added melody, lyrics and the vocals. sent it back to him and he added the guitar.
For the CBC 'Daydream' challenge. The opening lyrics are from Lewis Carroll in 'through the looking glass'. The closing segment is the classic credited to Epiphalet Orem Lyte. Many are the days I've misplaced my oars...
I've had this acoustic part sitting around for a few years and finally got around to finding a home for it in this song. The lead part was played twice to get an echo effect.
finger picked acoustic with bass and a soft lead
i am truely haunted by ghosts of the past, and as a consequence, a raging insomniac. middle of the night lyrics, always my favorite. the photo is of my home in the woods, 1975
hope you enjoy this one, its a personal favorite of mine. thanks, gabe
my son, Dan, on piano and alto sax. about one of those who am i, where am i goin' moments.
