Fresh breeze on Lake Superior
And waves collide with the shore
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
In this sacred…

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...
I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…

Cool sounds and fabulous lyrics. Over the last few days I've been sharing this very message in various forms in various places... That's probably why I like it so much... And I've come across others saying the same thing... It might not be filtering through to the media (at least not the stuff I'm seeing/hearing)... but then it's not very news-worthy! ... But if there's a bunch of us ordinary people thinking and saying this and similar... then I'm feeling quite encouraged :)

Closure The look in your Eyes
Took me by supprise
back to a better place
Where I could feel
Oh how we breathed the air feels much lighter now.
You talked of us.
We spoke of trust
I heard your words today
A promise i'll keep
if you should…
I got me a new mic and a pre-amp and I picked up the Jumbo Eko (I'll do this again when my fingertips have recovered). I tried to do finger picking when I was a teen, but didn't pursue it as it seemed like too much hard work at the time. Today…
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.
taken by surprise
a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary
First just a…
My attempt at Folk music !!!! I blame Seth Lakeman, after seeing him in concert this popped out. Been meaning to re-record it for months, now seemed a good time....... as we survived the Cruise !!!!
I've posted this "Naked" version because Mrs Russe wanted me to... :-)
It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.
The original intention…
Here we go.
This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…
Oh,
Iron jaws, wrapped around my legs,
Try to gnaw, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Oh,
Fresh cut gauze, soaking lips,
Trying not to fall, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Silent pines, know my name
Even…
Old timey'st of versions. reminiscent of a deserting war warn civil war solder heading back to see a lady left behind. Close your eyes and try to smell the camp fire and burned coffee.
Just in time for the big 2012 election!
*** BANJO WARNING ***
Just me and me banjo.
Inspired by a story my journalist daughter in Moscow just published. She was too small when we moved to Russia to remember that politicians shaking hands…
I love it Robert! Your song is like a breath of fresh air. Well done my friend!
The banjo sounds fantastic, and by the way, I thought the *"BANJO WARNING"* WAS A NICE TOUCH.

Beautiful. "And the fragrance of the Summer lingers on the scent of the morning dew."
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...

Nice refreshing sound.
That's really pretty Jane! It draws a person in.
I stopped by for an extra listen this morning. I like the Pan Flute here. Nice touch.
Oh yes . . . is this a true story?
This might be my favorite so far. Nice presentation Terry!
I love the bending notes. Very happy music.
Beautiful
Interesting sound that you have found.
Nice going Amy. You have a great voice!
Ahoy! I like the open sea flavor too. Well done!
I like it. Why fill it up with more than you need. I think you captured it perfectly.
I like the sound of "Drop D" Tuning.
Key of G . . . I was playing right along with my trusty harmonica.
Great *"Feel Good"* Song. Makes me want to fill the car up and take a drive.
I love the sound of acoustic guitar. Nice song, nice singing, and nice playing! It reminded me a little of David Wilcox.
That Whistle . . . Wow!
Good Easy Listening! Way to go Roger!
Yes . . . I can smell the campfire!
I love it Robert! Your song is like a breath of fresh air. Well done my friend! The banjo sounds fantastic, and by the way, I thought the *"BANJO WARNING"* WAS A NICE TOUCH.
Delightful
