I just listened to this song again—probably for the 1,000th time! So often when I hear the verse that begins with “progress is much slower now,” I get a vision of my father as he became weaker and weaker following his Parkinson’s diagnosis. These lyrics really are something we all can personalize in one way or another. ~ Elisabeth
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
this song is about 8yrs old , i have done a video which is on youtube , just type in the title and tonycee , if you would like to , all brass / strings played on keyboard , vocals backing vocals , rythm / lead / bass guitar / played by myself…
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…
For some reason this one demanded to be written...
So here's to all of us that have been in this situation a time or two! Hugs and love to us all!!!
Feel Just Like A Loner
Verse 1
We sit across the table
We share the same old food…
Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…

****
I wrote this one a couple of hours ago.
I set up for recording, and busted a string on the Martin... GAH!!!
I tried a big ole dreadnought thing…
A song I wrote over the last few days. Did a one-take-wonder on the recording, so it's pretty simple. Hope you like it!
Sometimes You Don't
Verse 1
Sometimes in the early morning hours
As the sun lights up the sky
I look back and think…

I was at the dance studio last night. A certain song came to mind as I executed some pirouettes before the mirror!
Aww - nice song.
