A set of reels (the first being "For the Sake of Old Decency," picked up from a Michael Tubridy album of the same name) I put together one evening. You…
Another rainy morning, lazy mood, and I am listening, Doug, to the Old Stone Bridge tracks and enjoying! I am not a musician, just a lover of good music! Thanks for this and the many unheard yet!

It was a sketch for the final topic of amateur black and white film (a.k.a. "Ñlosing credits"), then not used, then forgotten. Then recalled and now free.
~For Trevor, who bravely fights with the ghost from the cellar. Spirit[uals]~
Nobody knows how, what it will be - the future. We look at it, trying to see, to detect something and ... it goes fade, it's always receding, receding ...

dedicated to a pretty girl I know... :P
also note there is a meager attempt at video for this song!
Lyrics:
======
smile for me, pretty girl
smile for me, please
i'd do anything you want
to get you to acknowledge me
but i breathe…
Nobody knows how, what it will be - the future. We look at it, trying to see, to detect something and ... it goes fade, it's always receding, receding ...

Reg stood by the mirror and peered in at himself, he didn't recognise who he saw, the image that peered back out at him didn't resemble who he thought he was and it shook him to his core.............because he thought, he, the man he recognises…
...and after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you, and Reggy one...
God only knows it's noz what we would choose to do.
Forward! - he cried from the cellar
and the front rank died... (curtains)
(PF/DSOM, relaxed)
One of my early collaborations with Norm.

I threw my faith right in
When I saw it, it was sinking
Oh don’t you go
Don’t you even dare
Don’t run away until you’ve heard…

Well, I would put it more precisely: the novice conductor. Budding, novice conductor Reg. That in itself not bad :-)
I dig the mood on this -- cool song!
Eerie!!
Moody stuff! Cool early Nirvana feel, which is always a good thing.
