Greg always works, even the darker stuff.

Can't tell if it's Greg Brown or Peter Himmelman on first listen.

an attractive piece with super lyrics ("we've only been fighting 10 years, maybe we can reconsider"), fits this sunny Mother's Day afternoon as I slow drink a cool porter, and think of my other, my son's mother. Still smiling long after this song ends.

Unlike other commenters, I'm having a hard time figuring Greg Brown out. I've heard two songs on RP (this one and "Who Woulda Thunk It") that I like quite a bit. But they don't seem at all typical from the other things by GB that I've managed to hear. Anyone able to clarify this for me?

Hmm, a new voice! Kinda like a livelier Jesse Winchester. That's definitely a good thing!

I don't know who this artist is, but every time I hear one of his songs, I grin a little bit and love him more. Money will be spent.
To address the Stingray comment below: I sort of agree with the whole "Christmas is a tradition not a religion" thing. He has some valid points. I just wish he wasn't such a baboon's ass about it.
I'm off to the dump to shoot rats now.

Hello RP-Listeners!
I wish all of you "MERRY CHRISTMAS",
wherever you are - whoever you wanna be!
Christmas is a sweet-naive tradition -
not a religious event!
I like it anyway!
Still - I hope Bill takes the chance
to rock the christmas-tree to pieces tonight!
"Happy Christmas
your "BAD SANTA",
aka STINGRAY

Sermon of the day (promise: I'm serious):
The "Three Wise Men" - Melchior, Balthasar + Caspar
are buried in a golden sarcophage in"our" dome, the famous
"Cologne dome" - the third highest church-building
in the world - right in the very centre of town, next to the Rhine.
A gothic building of extra-class!

"We've only been fighting ten years—do you really have to go?"
Not big on the song, but that's a very clever line.

I'd give it a 'Ho-Hum'... but honestly, I don't want to hum this repetitive, unoriginal musical 'doodle'.

Greg Brown really has the art of painting vignettes down tight. I love his song about putting summer up in Mason jars for a winter's evening.

I like sleeping with Marie
She is one sexy girl full of mystery
She says she doesn't love me but she likes my company
For now that's good enough for me
