Oh yeah, a lovely song and perfectly performed. Nothing overdone, no smoke and mirrors just a lovely vocal and accompanied plaintively. Nice lyrics too. BTW, I love that expression "swung for the fences"
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan
I wake up every morning
My jaw is clenched so tight
Even in my dreams it’s a battle
Who’s wrong and…

Do you ever have an idea / song that you just need to get out of you and recorded, even though it's so rough that you'll want to re-do it over and over again? This is one of those for me....

We’ll C talk about our dreams, our D hope…
So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant to be a love song. It still…
DIRTY LAUNDRY Key C
I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk
Big black bags of something. I said, “What’s with these?”
He said, “It’s dirty laundry.” I said, “That’s crazy.”
So, he…

And the prairie wind, without a word
Whispers thru the grass, I’ll be home
Where the cattle lo and the horses neigh
And the mountains look so far away
And I’m rolling down my window…
Hi Paul! Thanks for the listens and the kind comments. I am definitely influence by the female folks singers like Joni Mitchell, Allison Krause, Linda Rondstadt...
I’m just listening now to this beautiful piece... your piano brings such a lovely uplift to this... like if they got away from the spooks they’re going to be alright now... happy Halloween 🎃

I really wish I could sing.
This one was written for the 2014 50/90. I remember it clearly. I set up with the intention of working on something else but plugged in my guitar and played this without thinking about it. Well, I guess I was…
I was watching the breeze in the trees and it got me to thinking ........
Winter
I look into the trees and I see that the breeze is blowing and I’m beginning to freeze
Cause the wintertime is coming cause the leaves have started blowing…
The perfect lyrics to capture my feelings about the coming winter here in Minnesota too... the 6" of snow we got last week made it all the more real! great song!!!
