Great job -- you give this old number a fine feel. Especially enjoyed the vocals -- you give the song a bit of a haunting chill. very nice picking -- excellent!
This song tears me up. The picking is gorgeous but the lyrics are so emotional, it really pulls on my heart strings. One of the very best Political Folk songs ever.
Growing up in Ohio we used to see the signs the hoboes left on trees and mailboxes. Bits of ribbons and cloth-signifying friendly,and-cold hearted bastards who'd sic the dogs on you.
This song needed written. I'm glad the Fates choose to manifest this one through you. Thank you for delivering this message so tastefully, so righteously. ROCK ON!
Feel the wind in my sails
Heading toward a brighter day
No more dark, dead end trails
Looks like sunshine all the way
Aint no stopping me now
Been a long time in the darkness
Bangin round where I can’t see
Smell the fresh air through the window…
Bethan-mandolin technique on a regular 6string guitar.Thanks for you kind words.I should have an official sponsors jacket to account for the fact that smoking and drinking wreak havoc on the gift you were given. But,man is a victim of free will.
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home

Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
Shows when you get fed up enough,you ain't afraid to raise hell and put a brick under it. (Icelandic national anthem-lyric)-...Oh, God of our country! Oh, our country's God!
We worship Thy name in its wonder sublime.
The suns of the heavens…
If you can't guess where I got this one, well . . .

Do you know me?
No credit card have I.
You might not know my name
But look me in the eye.
Do you know me?
The Stones didn't sing about me.
Lucifer is not my name.
No…
Lyrics:
You think you know what you’re talking about
You get your way when you scream and shout
Look all around, you’ll find someone to blame
I’m just a pawn in your little game
I thought you were special, that was my mistake
You thought…
A true story about getting screwed at the car dealership when I took my car as a trade-in
on a new car. It was a learning experience
that I never forgot.
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
Title track of my new project, as my other group? The Seven Spiders. This song is experimental dub influenced chamber music, I am exploring the possibilities of humour in music trying to make the music itself amusing ... if that makes any sense…
Do you remember waiting patiently outside
When the delivery to the shop had just arrived
The special moment after months of speculation
As you saw the final cover the first time
Held aloft you felt the weight
Like a trophy you had won
You didn…
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.

That sure is a purty song! Love the diminished 7th. You sure can pick a guitar -- Rock on!
Picking-wise, perhaps the best rendition of this song I've heard, but the Darlings did sing it sexier! ;)
Delightful.....that's it I'm getting a job on the railway checking the tracks.......
Lovely stuff! Hemp used to be a big cash crop around here for rope. It's still everywhere!

Well done guys
Scenes from my fetchin up. Company store owns your dreams. I used to play with guys who died of black lung disease
An informed public is a dangerous thing
Tasty social commentary on urban decay.
Are you using an Ebow on this?
Great song of fallen angels
Good mixing.
A recording from the vault?Nice little song.
Them dealers prep and hidden charges are so slickly hidden in the transaction. At least a good song came of the experience.
Nice phrasing on this piece.
Surfs up dude
I like how you build on the theme
Great song.We thought we were so cool back then.
I like the break riff.
Nicely crafted.
