Maybe I take that challenge. But my song would be about Patti Meadors who transferred to my school in the middle of my senior year and tho she ate lunch across the street at the elementary school cafeteria with me just a few times and then transferred away before the year was over I will never forget her and...we never had that first date.

I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.

Sadly, Annie and Allan are now divorced...
The games are over...
Annie & Allan
Annie and Allan were having a problem
Made a decision to go their own ways
Annie and Allan made an announcement
Not even knowing how it saddened…
My humble tribute to Freddie King... Without him we wouldn't have Eric & without Eric, I would probably have never picked up a guitar.
This is sort of a pastiche of Hide Away & The Stumble & tracks like that :-)

This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
OMG! What great story telling... Now I know this never happened to you :-) :-) :-) Beautiful!!!
That story sounds familiar
you are the next Bob Dylan!!! love the song, has a Dylan flavor...Excellent
Ha! Another one discovers that you can use banjo AND squeezebox and get away with it!!
Hey there! This one is a real keeper. Love the imagery of your lyrics and your banjo / harmonica just gives it a sultry sound. Love it!!!!

Interesting stuff! I like the fullness of the instrumentation.
Nice departure from my usual diet. I love it!
I like how this builds. It's easy to drift along with the music.
Thought provoking!
I think I'm going to go put my guitar back in the case.
This is the stuff! Right up my alley.
I love this! Nice acoustic guitar playing. Good story telling. *"Riding my thumb"*
I had to listen again to that intro. Much better now that I know where it's going.
I'll admit, the intro scared me a little but I really enjoyed it after that. It has an ethereal quality. Well Done!
Best *Hedgehog* song I ever heard!
Nice. . . . You make it sound so easy!
Beautiful and tranquil.
Wow . . . That's some guitar playing!
I like that bass. I like the drums. Oh heck, I like all of it. Great interwoven piece.
Very Interesting
Different and intriguing.
*" T I M I D "* . . . is never an adjective that comes to mind when I think of you. You got me smiling AGAIN this morning
Beautiful and Powerful Piece of Music
Good story behind the song! 32 years? It's as smooth as vintage wine.
Very easy feeling, like putting on old shoes.
