In Tossing Organs, the third banjo note is a note too high, it sounds pretty disturbing. Also, it repeats in the same manner way too much, ultimately making it sound boring. Just starting with some random percussion doesn't help here - vary the banjo sound and let a bass slide in after a specific moment, maybe after some rests in the banjo.
I notice a bit later that a guitar comes in, following the EXACT same melody. Boring, have it play something different, in fact, once the guitar starts coming in I expect to hear the main melody rather than just the same all over again. The same counts for the organ.
You should get a little structure in your songs, varying both melody, instrumentation and combination of the two. Don't forget that it's best to have things like a main melody that changes enough over time, an underlying bass tone, and an instrument supporting the main melody.
