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…
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…
Hard rock song about losing faith....
Lyrics:
I'M GOING DOWN
Sedate it with barbiturates
Inject it with a needle
Calm this stirring anger
That I always feel
Lord, where are you
You've mocked my every prayer
Everything around…
Love song about strife in relationships....the song needs more work; gotta redo the vocals....nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. Here are the lyrics:
Beyond the horizon,
The sun burns bright…
Cover of a 19th century minstrel tune attributed to S.S. Steele, popularize by the late great John Hartford. This is my own arrangement. I use it as a backing track for alive set without the banjo and lead vocal tracks.
BTW- that banjo is an…
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
Not really Irish ... a Scottish ballad ...
An earthly nourris sits and sings
And aye she sings, "Ba lilly wean
(and) no ken I, my bairns father
Far less the land that he dwells in."
And up come he to her bed fit
A grumly guest I'm sure…
OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…
JV Andres- guitalele, vocals

Daniel Wilson- engineer, snare, bass drum
Philip Cartwright- lyrics
Forty-five sparrows hum you a tune
This fowl form of choir
will sing through next June
And head up north…
This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…
Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone

You gotta love a 19 second song. It's Right to the point.
Great Lyrics and Great Sound. This one is a lot of fun!
Great driving beat.
I like the chord change and upshift in the song. Good song.
Very pretty
That's some fancy picking Robert
Now that is a "Kick Ass" Lullaby!
You gotta love it.
This is so beautiful
I love that Mandolin!
This is absolutely beautiful.
I never met a monkey I didn't like. Wonderful beat supporting some nice riffs.
Great story telling, of uncertainty, which gets resolved, or at least somewhat resolved.
Nice song // Great Lyrics
Nice groove! I have to say the lyrics sort of slid in quietly and then REALLY captured my attention. "You Got What I Need"
I found myself rocking back and forth a little while listening. This is very addictive!
You have a great banjo, guitar, harmonica sound going here. Very Pleasing to listen to.
Great to hear a little banjo around here! Seems like they're always ... over me ... sooner than the other way around.
Wow ... That is a full & beautiful sound.
Lot's of feeling in there!
