A favorite style of my wife... like Kris Kristofferson, in a way. Maybe more folk than Outlaw Country...? The song has great meaning for me.
Hope you like it!

The B side to Dad's father's day present. This is an instrumental celebration of his 45 years in the printing industry, and an acknowledgement that while other kids got bedtime stories, I got the history of lithography..
Fathers often find ways of giving a part of themselves to their sons, and they do so in ways that can be baffling to the sons. Perhaps your father was doing that.
My dad was an engineer and a private pilot. He never told me a bedtime story, but he took my brother and me flying as often as he could. It was his way of showing his love.
Nice song, too.

A riff that could only be played with a raunchy synth sound. Forgive me if this causes an 80's flashback, but I had a lot of fun with this one. Originally recorded for RPM Challenge 2011, but updated with new guitar and bass to beef it up.
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…

SIX OCLOCK SHADOWS
At six o'clock the windmill throws it's shadow on the grave
The cattle chew their cud and lowly low above the one we didn't save
The broken body buried there beneath the sod we carried there that day
And tho we hold each…
One of my early collaborations with Norm.
Down by the riverside
Where all of the fish had died
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…

Sounds like Leo's Adventure includes concertinas and cats. Interesting piece. ER
Very nice finger picking, sir. I could never do as well. With my fat fingers it would sound like my cat was chasing a mouse through the sound hole. ER
