Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????"
There are two theories:
1. It's Rita calling me for dinner.
2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.

I think these challenges are so expanding ,I sat back and followed the the progression carefully.
Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural.
I am impressed. More please

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…
This is "Hands Down" my favorite so far.
I love that image "May the cool wind find you ..."
And of course the Irish whistle ... well that just fills me with envy!
Music and lyrics by Brian Vaughn.
I shouldn't have to say this, but I can't stand this silence.
And I wonder if you know what i'm going through.
It seems way too common for words and acts to disagree,
But I expected more from you.
I told…
This is what the creative process looks like. The music, especially the guitar playing if unique and captivating.
The singing is different too. I think it's the phrasing that is catching my attention.
Well Done!
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
THE GIRL HERE IN MY HEART
If anybody sees her will you tell her that I love her
She might not remember. Now she loves another
If you ever see her you will recognize her
The girl here in this picture. She's the girl here in my heart
If…

I'm so glad you put this playlist together! What a great story.... Love that last line! Hilarious...
And this... woah, mighty fine... and the Elk Rut noises... yep SCARY!
Missed this. Fabulous.
Good job here it was hair raising spooky
Oh my the lightning got you, same thing happened to me
Scared the pants off me .... I ain't going into those woods ....
Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????" There are two theories: 1. It's Rita calling me for dinner. 2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.
I don't know how you do it. A deep well - your story telling skills.... Love this one!!! Who did the scary cries?????
Fun!! love the sound effects....neat story and a catchy chorus!!!
great lyrics and well played sung and recorded very much enjoyed! KC
Was there a minor chord in there, I may have effected you, drew you closer to the dark side
Now .... can this be classed as a song about Rita ?? or is it about your car ??? As always Greg .... good stuff.
Cool! really dig the vibe here, good playing and singing! Always love songs about cars and driving :-) keep on cruising ! KC
Cool song, i dig the harmonica and all the instruments sound fine together. I thought it would be about a guitar when i clicked though :)
So many good stories in that brain of yours!! Love this. Especially fun to think of you driving around with Rita in that Mustang... and clean up the backseat would ya!
ha ha love it...reminds me of my first car.. a brand new 69 rally green Camaro that I got in the fall of 1968 great lyrics!!
Another cracker Greg ....
Awww... fabulous. This has got the dulcimer on it too? I love the textures you create with this and the guitar. And the song... gorgeous.
I think these challenges are so expanding ,I sat back and followed the the progression carefully. Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural. I am impressed. More please
Absolutely beautiful! Such delicate finger picking so perfectly matches the lyrics. A masterpiece.!!!!

Quite an image Roger! I wonder how many of us will be there to greet you when you get there? Nice swing to this song, and very relaxed.
I love it John! FIRST CLASS SONG "Plenty Greedy Bastards"
Great singing, Great Playing, and the tone you achieve on the whistle is incredible. One Fine Job!
You blew me away with this Lisa! Wow!
Finally ..... A Folk Song Around Here!
This is "Hands Down" my favorite so far. I love that image "May the cool wind find you ..." And of course the Irish whistle ... well that just fills me with envy!

Igor ... You have the touch!
This one is good too, although, I think you hit the bullseye on your last version.
I like the sparse sound. Of course, I'm a sucker for just guitar and voice.
Another good one Roger!
I'm lonesome now ... thank you very much! You have some nice licks on that guitar and harmonica too.
Good Song, it reminded me of the early 70's style music.
"That's Alright" works better than coffee in the morning.
Great way to start the day! It was fun to find you this morning.
Great message, and unique style.
That fit just like an old pair of shoes. Nice going James
You really caught me with this one. It's addictive!
This is a great song! It would be fun to hear this played live in front of an audience. I'll bet you could really get them going!
Very Pretty
