My Love Stays The Same (Banjo)

I have another version of this song
on the web site but uploaded this one
because it is upbeat and I like the
banjo play. Hope you enjoy, also.

Trust Me!

My friend, Jon Byrd, created this demo
for me. I get a kick out of listening
to it; especially toward the end of the
song where he adds a little Barry White
Impersonation.

Something's Missing

Had written this song at least a coupla' years before the demo was made. I was sitting at a table with Joy Awn one evening while waiting for her husband, Charlie, to join us. Joy and Charlie were tremendous musicians and friends who believed in my music. Joy and I were enjoying a second glass of Chianti wine that early evening when I told her about this song, and expressed a desire that she make a demo of it for me. She asked me to sing it to her so she could get a feel for the song. About a third of the way thru the song, she put down her Chianti and told me, "Gene, stop singing and give me the guitar before you kill that song." We laughed while I complied with her request. While reading the lyrics from the table, she lit into the song and blew me away with her rendition of it. What a musician! People complain about my poor recording equipment, but marvel at her musical abilities demonstrated on this recording.

My Love Stays the Same

I hurt my wife's feelings one afternoon and felt like a dog, having inadvertently done so. In hopes I might escape the doghouse, I composed this song… and it worked! Again, the recording process is lacking, but my 18-year-old nephew performed marvelously in making this demo. Wish I could get the it to Barry Manilow because my nephew played the piano in a way made famous by Barry.

Whatcha' Think About That?

I've had this reviewed on Broadjam.com and received some interesting critiques. Folks seem to like it a lot, or despise it a lot. Had two film musicians gave great feedback regarding it. Both gave the song high ratings. One said, "You'll never hear this one over the radio, but a director might include it in a movie." Hold your breath 'til that happens!

Gone Away

Wrote this one a few years back and felt it might sound pretty good if someone sung it other than me. My son-in-law, Gordon Vaughn, took a liking to it and laid down a sound track for it. Then a member of the "Cool for August" band, Chris Harris, laid down all the musical tracks for the rendition. His mandolin and violin play is so beautiful that I named the musical break the "Ambrosia Interlude." If nothing else, I think all will enjoy the Ambrosia Interlude.

Tell Him Thanks!

You might relate, in some way, to this song I wrote a year or two after returning from Vietnam in the spring of 1972. That travesty in which we duped ones were politically deceived then slammed to the ground by our own people, the ones for whom we thought we were fighting. After returning, I learned that a young ex-football player from Petal, Mississippi had lost both legs in that hellhole. My brother had coached him and was devastated, as I was, when we heard about it. I wrote the song, circa '73-'74, and didn't know exactly how he had lost his legs, but the story described in this song is typical of what happened during such firefights.

Why?

This is actually the first version of the song regarding the firefight incident. I changed it to "Tell Him Thanks," because I did not want the anti-war people to use it in any way. It simply shows the hurt and feelings of frustration I endured upon returning from Vietnam. No, I did not engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat as many did. I was on an Air Force Base at Phan Rang. But few who served over there came away unscathed in some way from just being there then being subjected to the hate upon returning to the States. Regarding the young man's story, years later, I was told that during his first firefight, Danny, the young ex-football player, had been shot in the back by a VC or NVA regular who was hiding in a spider trap, a covered hole in the ground. The shot severed his spinal cord, causing him the use of his legs. I try to see him whenever I return to Petal, Mississippi where he lives and works in his wheel chair. Let there be no doubt, I know why we must fight for our freedom. Vietnam was just a screw up in many ways. Though power-crazed and forced out of the Whitehouse, I shall always be indebted to President Nixon for getting us out of Vietnam.

Not Long Ago?

Wrote this song for my mother as a Mothers’ Day present and she loved it. She's no longer physically with me yet I often recall memories of her as if she were. This is the only song I’ve written that does not rhyme. But this matters not, however, when mixed with the melody. I apologize for my poor musical rendition, but hopefully my efforts jump-start you into writing or saying something meaningful to your mom this Mothers’ Day, and every day afterward. She’ll be gone before you know it, so don’t wait to tell her how much she means to you while you can.

The Loving Time

Here’s one for anyone in the military who has been or is currently separated from his or her loved ones. I retired from the Air Force and, therefore, was separated many times during my tours of duty, including nine months in Vietnam at Phan Rang AFB, RVN. My heart goes out to the many Service Reserve members currently separated from their families and suffering through hell on earth. May God bless them for the work they are doing, and provide speedy returns home for each of them.

This song was written to assure my wife that though not with her, I loved her no less. I hope you enjoy and it touches you toward giving your loved one, or ones, big hugs and kisses the next time you see 'em.

Lately (Duo)?

I wrote this song for Crystal Gale many years ago, though I never got it to her. That process is difficult to do les'n you know someone who knows someone, etc. We made two masters of it, of which I relish this first rendition. The bass play at the beginning sounds as if an 18-wheel Mack truck and trailer is driving thru my freshly manicured front yard while I helplessly reside in a tub with my Woody Allen water ducky collection.. My friends, Charlie and Joy Awn added the music and vocals to both songs. I like this one because of the primary and backup vocals Joy applied, along with the music and wailing vocal additions Charlie added to the mix. Lately (Second cut) is a remake of this one. If you are a mind to do so, please e-mail me and, assuming you enjoy one of the versions, please tell me why.

Lately (Second cut)

Joy and Charlie did their magic again in another studio. This one is a smoother production in which Charlie and Joy pleased me with what they did to one of my songs. Please listen to both and provide feedback via the e-mail icon button located on the home page. Thanks! egg

What Do You Do?

This is a fun song written in the same vein as one penned by Mac Davis years ago called "Oh, Lord It's Hard to be Humble" It is intended for your listening pleasure, and if it brings a laugh or two, it will have achieved the goal for which it was created. I realize it has imperfections, but don't we all. If'n you have a keen ear for such, you might discern that my partner and I were well into a bottle of Southern Comfort when we cut the song. 'Nuff said.

The Party!

Another song written to lighten your load. Imagine yourself in a bar observing a make-believe cowboy with his hat cocked back on his head. Backed against the bar, his elbows resting on top of it, he scans split-tails in hopes of cutting out a little filly. You snicker as you notice his shirt opened at the top allowing potential companions to view a few sprigs of chest hair.

Through the front door strolls this good-looking heifer who stops just inside the entryway and slowly gazes about the room for Mr. Right. Their eyes meet and, to his delighted surprise, she crosses the room with her eyes locked on his.

To hear the outcome of this story, you'll just hafta' listen to the song. Enjoy!

Broken Hearts, Broken Lands

Lucky Charm

This is one of the most riveting songs we've heard. Gordon Vaughn, an ex-Warner Brothers rock artist, wrote and produced it in collaboration with a soul brother. To us, it is a "war on terrorism" anthem in that it is a different type song for different type warriors in a different type war.

Gordon dedicates this song to warriors who are trying so hard to make this world of ours a better place for all to live. For this song, you owe him nothing! You've paid your dues. He owes you everything, and hopes you enjoy the song.

If you have a loved one, friend, or acquaintance serving in the military, have them visit the eggsproductions web site, listen to the song, and provide e-mail feedback regarding it. We know that Gordon and the Bro' would appreciate such comments.

A great hip-hop song that Gordon Vaughn created and produced in collaboration with a soul brother. This song should be airing over the radio and TV wavelengths, yet it has not been recorded. Why not? Beats hell out of us! If any of you know an established female hip-hop artist who is looking for a great song, here it is. Tell the artist to drop us an e-mail and we'll link the artist with Gordon and the Bro'.

Nineteen

‘Til the Laughter Comes Again

Though a generalizing statement, it must be a rare individual who journeys thru the years of teens without at least one heartbreak. This song is about a teen-ager who bit the bullet.
