Original Song Clips

Note: these are mostly bootleg and sound quality varies considerably... also, the mp3 files are rather large, so we strongly suggest you download the clip and play it from your local machine. The performance will be much better and there will be much less web-traffic to our site as well. Thanks, and thanks for listening!

Blood for Oil : Written by Bill: his take on the Middle East.

Best Of Me : Written (and sung) by Galen: givin' all he's got.

Bright Lights : Written (and sung) by Mark: "You turn my bright lights on!"

Don't Come Cryin' : Written by Bill: about an unfaithful ex.

Gonna Be Alright : Written by Bill/Strings: For the workin' man.

Wahle Mahrte : Written by Bill: For corporate America.

My Old Town : Written by Bill's brother, Kevin Ryzcek, dedicated to Lyndon Station, WI.

More to come... we did a tally and discovered we have upwards of 50 originals sitting around in various stages of completion... time for us to find a recording studio, hey? Stay tuned.
