What’s on your mind
Are you losing confidence
Someone’s been unkind
And caring becomes a consequence
Look for a reason to smile
The Sun will shine your way
Look for a reason to smile
And watch the clouds drift away
Feeling like you…

Nice, a little Beatle sounding which is a good thing to me!! I like the way you double tracked your voice..at least that's what it sounds like..... did you sing it twice or just used computer magic?
love it!!

Mighty cool - and very clever - song. We've all met one when we didn't need or want to... and... er... I strongly suspect I've done it to others myself!!

The sailor must be watching
For gusting wind we can’t ignore
Loose the main, correct the healing
Point the bow to the wind
Recognize the peaceful feeling

It’s like floating down a river
When you’re not quite in control
That river’s going to take you
Only where it wants to go
So you reach out with conviction
At debris along the way
That river’s going to take you
If you give up and say…
My wife Rita mentioned that she had not heard my dulcimer on any music recently, so I tuned it up and wrote First Morning Light. A little Low D Irish Whistle flavored it just a bit.

That guitar sound is amazing. How is this recorded. Every element is crystal clear. Your voice too. 'There's a row boat in the distance,,," So suggestive of more than meets the ear...

This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.

Shattered like ice on the ground
Desperate men struggled on

I was so excited when SlKrell wrote to ask if I would do the vocals on this excellent song he wrote! I loved his lyrics and the rocking backing guitars. Hope you enjoy it too!
Nice song and GREAT contribution to the "Who Knew" Challenge. I enjoyed playing behind you on this.

Friends...an offering from the not-real album "Dr. Pepsi's Death Cult Glee Club". The song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold.
The sentiments…
This was part of the 'who knew' song challenge, recorded live at Colleen Dillon's on 12-09-15, with Greg Connor on guitar. Love his part, didn't edit out anything, even left the comments on the beginning and end.

Pretty, reminds me of a gentle stream.
Nice sounding organ!
Reminds me of Iron Butterfly . . . I don't know why. I can hear Thetworegs singing lyrics to this!
Powerful Song !!!
Ethereal and Deep. It makes me stop and think. Good one John!
Still good this morning!
Sitting around your coffee table has been a lot of fun! This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.
I love it! I like the way it builds. So . . . is this autobiographical?
How about if I bring a harmonica Friday night and we do this song?
This is powerful. Sparse is the perfect approach and it accents your message perfectly. One after another . . . You just keep setting the bar higher!
Now Wait A Minute . . . . I know this guy! You made my day Tilden!
I WANT CHOCOLATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the symbolic message. Good storytelling John!
GREAT WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR !!! Nice collaboration from two of my favorite people.
I found this one from the past. Nice video!
Oooooh . . . That's good!
