"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.
Lady Jane's one woman band! No loops today - I got all my instruments out - all being guitar (played with plectrum in neck without realising - oops!), bongos, rain stick, ting sha bells, tibetan singing bowl and tinkly bell thing from my miniature…
There's not a drop of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the puddles of this war.
But the blood that's spilled's become a flood
of the hungry and the poor.
There is not a trace of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the bags that hang beside
the beds of legless soldiers…

That's great news about getting a song in the movie!
Sounds like we have a celebrity in our midst.

In splendid honour of her majesty queen elizabeth 2nd, celebrating 60 years of being the queen of england and the commonwealth nations. God bless ya maam.
Here's another little something that I somehow got sidetracked on posting.... Thanks for the jams Norm! One of these days I'll bounce something fresh your way....
Inspired by a line in one of the many books I read while laid up with a recent back injury.
Song of The Raven Queen

A re-visit to a song wrote in 2008. A simple song, in my subconscious I think someone like the great Hank Williams was having a poke about. And no, I don't compere myself to him or other greats from the past. I'm just me !!!!

I love the Yodeling. Wouldn't it be great to wake up every morning Yodeling?
Very Pretty That harmony sounds fantastic
Norm said it . . . "This is great fun!" Nice going guys.
Nothing better than a party with all the instruments out at once! Sounds like you are having fun.
Nothing better than a "Big Mama" The harmonica is a nice touch.
This is a good reminder of Doc. Nice picking John.

How are you doing with the Texas Songwriter contest. I found Kavin's comment on the forum. I think that is pretty neat James! I hope you win!
Colorful lyrics! Very pretty. Call sign: KA0YCO
Beautiful song, very clear recording.
I can feel the paddle dig in to this tune. It's a winner John!
Now if you can just get Charles and Camilla to dance to this!
Yes, I can imagine snow while listening to this beautiful music. Well done Don!
I like how it builds, just the way I imagine a Lazy Sunday feels.
This is "FUN Music"
Very melodic and enjoyable. Reminded me a little of one of heros . . . Ian Anderson.
Iteresting landscape of percussive sound.
A true love song! Go get her tiger!
Beautiful . . . It just keeps rolling along. I think I heard a little harmonica in there.
A nice tribute to one of the best flat pickers I have ever heard. We're going to miss him.
