What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this.

Maybe I could help you

Maybe I could…

I'm amazed you recorded this on an iphone. It's very good quality for that.
Your guitar sound great, the lyrics tell a sad story, but are delivered well.
I thought I was going to have us record a cleaner version of this - this is a live take from a Christmas service. I wrote a song to tag along after the end of one my favorite songs ever, The Star Carol. Today's endless streaming of snow, still…
This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.

Ukelele? . . . nice touch.
Nice piano and story telling.
I got a chuckle out of the title. Great attention getter!
I had to stop for a little more Chuck Berry this afternoon.
Very touching message, and smooth delivery.
Very Pretty Terry . . . You old Softy!
Good One!
This really caught my attention. It's different and very interesting.
I'm waiting for the video now! I want to see you do the "Chuck Berry" across the stage. You got the vibe here. My feet are tapping.
Good Lyrics and your guitar playing is always a treat.
It's a Chart Buster! The birds really got my attention. Is that a 12 string? Yahoo . . . Spring is coming !!!!
I like it. It just bounces along effortlessly.
I'm amazed you recorded this on an iphone. It's very good quality for that. Your guitar sound great, the lyrics tell a sad story, but are delivered well.
A nice unexpected surprise! Well Done!
Yes, this is a good one! I'll put it on the "Spring Time" album when the time comes.
Nice Rich guitar sound, and melancholy vocal. Good combination.
Interesting ... It brought to mind a video that I have of the Grateful Dead.
Good lyrics . . . as usual. Great "Easy Listening" Song!
A provacative story, and the scary thing is that it's true.
I got a big smile out of this one! Great way to start a Monday.
