Bright, might-get-lucky song with cool, hard-driving piano break.

One Crazy Night

Sunday morning minor mourning ... no awards ... the dream has run its course, short subject, no remorse is necessary.

Recently rediscovered on a reel-to-reel tape from the 1980s. The drums are from a "Drum Drops" LP and were laid down first, so they got muffled as I added other tracks on a two-track recorder. Pretty impressed that I played all the other instruments, whatever they were.

Sunday Morning

She reached for me right through my screen.

I got kinda crazy about Mona of the MonaLisa Twins, mainly during their 100-Saturday-night Cavern Club era, even though I only saw her on YouTube (where the Twins have 200K fans as of 5/22) and other sites. She moved around, turned around, shook her shag, and made great sounds. This picture is from the Twins' swooping half-tone video for "I Wanna Kiss You," which I guess I would happily allow. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2EZ1nDY8QM  She had me in nine seconds with her narrowed, broken-hearted eyes.)

I accidentally posted the wrong track here—a raw, early version before I rewrote the lyrics and cleaned up the backing tracks, But now that it's here, I kind of like this version.

One of these days, I'll redo the vocal and make other adjustments.

Mona

A tragicomedy based on an actual news item. Bang!

Sir Winston Has Been Injured

This starts out boogie-woogie and evolves into jazz.

I was lovin’ you at midnight, mornin’ told me you were gone .... The assignment was to write a song with the words "midnight morning" somewhere in it.

Loving You at Midnight

I just play the part that's written. That's how I know that I am right. I'm not a victim of deception. That's gotta be the other guys.

Second Trumpet

Funny what might trigger a smile and a happy memory. Includes butter cramming. Takes place in the bread aisle.

Caroline Morton, where are you now?

English Muffins Always

I found out that people can write songs after lying on the living room floor and seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. So, I tried it and slowly got really, really good at it, compared to songwriters who may be less good. The songs here are mostly in what is known as the Greg Dent genre, characterized by unusual ideas, inconsistent styles, off-key vocals, and surprises. So, if you've heard Juan, you haven't heard Amal.

Tips:
If you click on the teeny pictures on Windows, it takes you to the song, some words about the song, and a bigger picture.

The easiest way around is to start anywhere and then, to find your next song, look to the right and click on SOME FUN ONES or MELLOW TRACKS, whichever is showing.
