Homemade Music for Fun. Merry Xmas – Greatest Hits 2008-2013. Country Fried by Basement Classics. My parents and I wrote this cowboy ballad following a conversation on their 47th wedding anniversary about how my two grandfathers actually lived very close to each other as small boys. As adults they lived in different circles, so this coincidence was surprising. Two Grandpas – Lyrics. One mile east of Rosetown. A boy was born named Grandpa. Or, that is what I’m told. Some called him John J. Peters. We know...

Homemade Music for Fun. Merry Xmas – Greatest Hits 2008-2013. Car Rock by Basement Classics. If it sounds like I’m crying and this confuses you, you haven’t lived through 30 prairie winters. Winter Morning – Lyrics. I awake and go outside. The dawn’s first light. I sure hope that thing starts today. If I breathe, the windows cake. The seat’s rock hard. The gearshift’s too cold to rest my hand. Why on earth do I live here? Why not move down south,. And never freeze off my face again? I Love You, Gasoline.

The Beast of Land and Sky | Basement Classics

http://www.basementclassics.com/the-beast-of-land-and-sky

Homemade Music for Fun. Merry Xmas – Greatest Hits 2008-2013. The Beast of Land and Sky. Driving Metal by Basement Classics. This song is about the family station wagon when I was learning to drive. The style I’m going for is apocalyptic evil metal usually reserved for some dystopian epic narrative. This album is about cars, so I made the song about one beast instead of another. If this isn’t proof that audio engineering is harder than I thought, I don’t know what is. 🙂. In elder days there was a beast.

For ground meat by the pound. The price of birds was soaring. No spare birds or eggs could be found. For starting up your own flock. To get in on the ground. Then a strange thing happened. The prices dropped like stones. It turned Emu meat tastes like dust. And comes with real big bones. Way down near Crystal city. Songs from &#82...

Homemade Music for Fun. Merry Xmas – Greatest Hits 2008-2013. Country Fried by Basement Classics. Written about the field in our back yard when I was a kid. Lake Agassiz is shown here. No Ditch – Lyrics. There ain’t no ditch. That can dry this land. No matter where it leads to. No matter how it’s planned. With fields this flat. I don’t know what to do. The rain is coming down. And my soil is turned to glue. I lost my rubber boots. Down by Penner’s land. Now I’m singing you this song. With land this flat.
