I'm re-posting my songs so I can update the links to my Soudcloud page. Since they've all been deleted from the site I originally used. I will do this gradually so as not to overwhelm or be disrespectful of other posters.  I rediscovered and recorded this in November 2013... Has kind of an 1980's pop thing going for it. Here's a song I wrote in 1981 (I think). I recently re-discovered it on a piece of paper I had stashed away, I kind of remembered how it went and what I didn't remember (melody), I just re-wrote.  This arrangement is probably quite different than I envisioned when I wrote it, but I really like how it turned out. I'm playing all electric guitar tracks and of course all vocals. RT's I used are below. All comments welcome.

Nice song Greg. I enjoyed your guitar and the vocals were spot on. You should have turned the B3 in the mix for my ears. It fit the song well.
Enjoyed my listen.
