Lyrics:
Trading Smiles
Trading smiles on a cloudy day
Wish good fortune come your way
A passing glance, I’m on my way
Trading smiles
Courtesy seems all but gone
No idea what went wrong
For most of us, it’s been too long
Trading…
Goodness, I have a lot of listening-catch-up to do! Great slide work and patiently played, as is fitting for the song. I like how you don't rush but, rather, find a groove immediately which enables your listeners to relax and enjoy. The groove phenomenon is true of all your songs!
I missed this one Bethan's beautiful vocal and Lisa's playing along with you guitar a wonderful piece of work what collabs were made for....excellent job all round.....
Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…
Re-recorded an old one. I suppose it's my nod to all those black & white films I've seen on America from the '20s, '30s and '40s. And of course, old Johnny Cash films,like 'Walk the Line'
Poor old Reg is down in the dumps and has started comparing his life to those of others more successful ...the go getter's in life...which poor old Reg has never really been one don't get me wrong he works hard but it always seems to be for someone…
Gene has done a superb job with the music and the mix ....i had the easy job of singing it...bought back a lot of memories of youth and Motorbikes hoe you enjoy as much a s we did doing it..........
I SHAKE by James Michael Taylor
Ever since that night when you told me you were leaving me I shake, just a little, I shake.
Not so much that anybody else would even notice
I shake, Just a little, I shake.
Every time I read a book and…
I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…
More ambient experimentation with my fretless guitar and Roland GR20. This time I used some sounds from the magnetic pickups as well as the midi pickup. Kind of a cheesy synth patch I know, but it was working for me!
This is a collaboration with Greg Connor (check his song list here) Greg wrote this about his Heritage Millennium guitar and Heritage guitars company in Kalamazoo. He sent me his vocals and rhythm guitar track and I added lead & bass guitars…
This was completely written by Andy...he wanted to enter this in a song writing contest for a Humane Society thing in England...the song had to be about a dog's poor life and death alone.....I think he did a great job all I added was the guitar…
Well I see it's that time of the year again, where did that year go .......So here's an old one from 2007. Got my Grandson to sing on it, something to embarrass him with when he's older. He's 10 next week, so he was 5 at the time. Bless !!!
My father's Uncle Roy ran shoe repair shop in Mt Pulaski from 40's till in the 80's or so.

BETWEEN - 11-27/28-12
I step out of the car
I don't know where we are
Somewhere between a planet
A planet and a star
I never dreamed I'd end up
in a place like this
The Multnomah Falls is up the Columbia Gorge
Somewhere between Portland…
Closure The look in your Eyes
Took me by supprise
back to a better place
Where I could feel
Oh how we breathed the air feels much lighter now.
You talked of us.
We spoke of trust
I heard your words today
A promise i'll keep
if you should…
I got me a new mic and a pre-amp and I picked up the Jumbo Eko (I'll do this again when my fingertips have recovered). I tried to do finger picking when I was a teen, but didn't pursue it as it seemed like too much hard work at the time. Today…

Strum along? Yeah Right. Like a Bob Sled out of control. Gramma's getting the ride of her life!
No need for any more coffee this morning, *NOW* You can really get the blood going!
Very Nostalgic and relaxed.
Perfect tune for the Holiday. The slide works well with it. It's great to hear a new one from you! MERRY CHRISTMAS PETER!

If this is bored, then we're the benefactors. Beautiful melody.
Yes, sad song, but well written. You guys did a nice job on it. I especially liked the intro.
This is special . . . nice duet.
It's fun to catch up to you again Verne! You are a great story teller.
A complete thought in just over a minute. Nice little gem. I had to press "*PLAY*" twice. . . still hungry after the first time through.
Nice refreshing sound.
That's really pretty Jane! It draws a person in.
