Written for an upcoming Blues competition as one of several songs being considered for the contest. I sprung this on my friend Chris, without warning last night and pushed the record button.

OMG! Another total masterpiece. I love the chorus on this so much. Total earworm for the day. Good luck with the competition. You’ve got a real winner here.
Too many rainy days lately, so what is a boy to do? Write a song!

I read all the lyrics before I had a chance to listen. Excellent poetry indeed. I wanted to know where you were finding that peaceful road. Somewhere north I’m guessing. Great melody and lovely arrangement. Another instant fav!!!

Great for this snowy day! Really great tune (harmonica!) and I needed these lyrics. Great coming back to find your songs - you've been productive! Well done.
You are on a roll!! Love it!! been listening to your new album...really like it...Satisfaction Is a State of Mind and Sweet Relief are 2 of my favorites!!
Excitement is one of ten songs on my new album "Treasures". The album covers a list of 10 words describing different characteristics of ENJOYMENT. The words are:
Love, Joy, Happiness, Relief, Contentment, Amusement, Pride, Excitement, Satisfaction…

#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
I wrote this song 5 years ago and have recorded a new version of it every year since (I think). This version features a Baritone 8 String guitar and Mandolin.
I took this bus trip from Forth Worth, Texas to Wheeling, West Virginia and on the way home I jumped off in Cincinnati and bought a ticket to Nashville... Lots of stuff happen when you are on a bus and in bus stations for over 60 hours.

A revamp of an old song. I seem to remember writing the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, those were the days. Must admit had to change the Key, couldn't reach the notes in the original Key. Anyway, played in Open G with capo on first fret…
Another one from Jip and LJ. Didn't realise how 'Teletubby' it was until it was done!
Baby
Can't you see I'm running from you
trying to get away from you so
you can't do your usual trick and
mesmerise me
Maybe
You already had it in your…
We've suspected for a long time, but now you've come right out and said it.
There is not a lot of inhibition in this song. Just a good dose of *"That's The Way It Is"*
I love it!
I've been messing with Jip's Gong Bong! Enjoy :o)
Do what you do, do it for you
Make your imaginings come true
Follow your dreams and not the crowd
Be you for you and shout it loud, shout it proud, yeah
See your big dream
Show your true self…
Finally, finished this one. Its been a battle finding time and fending off a few bouts with allergies and colds etc...A very windy winter and early spring season in the desert was one of the worst in many years. Hoping to get to working on some…
TRUE STORY
Here comes Ernest he say how you want your eggs
Don’t matter what you say to me, don’t care how much you beg
This here is my damn place and you are just a passing through
You’re lucky just to be alive cause I don’t care about…
@ Mark Imsdahl . . . .
I knew there was another verse to this song.
Just for everyone's information, Mark was with me last Friday when we went to meet Steve Krell at the airport.
Breakfast became quite entertaining. Ernest hit us with everything he had, and in the end became our friend . . . well . . . maybe not Steve's friend.
THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night
East of Dallas to Abilene
And the hopes that I held in my headlights
Were hopes like I'd never seen
She called me from work that afternoon
She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…
I got myself a little bargin off ebay a Zoom GFX-707 £25 and have been playing around with the effects ....here's a tone i like so of course i tried to mould something to it ...i feel i've made a bit of a breakthrough with teaching myself the…
This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…

You got me laughing out loud this morning James! Nothing like a good bus trip song to bring out the gritty side of life.
I just found this. What instrument are you playing? I love the bending notes. Well done Igor.
Nice video. Your scenery looks a lot like here in Minnesota.
B E A U T I F U L
Beautiful, rich, and engaging!
I keep resisting, but there is something about a ukulele that just grabs me. Another stellar vocal track lady!
Very melodic. I got out the headphones on this one. Well done Roger!
U N I Q U E . . . And fun!

*K A Z O O* . . . .YAHOO !!! I LOVE THE CHORD CHANGES TOO!
I like the beat. Good supporting instrumentation too. Very tight. Lady . . . you hit the bullseye again with the vocals. Hat's off to both of you!
12 String? Very nice. *This Time Around* has a good feel to it. You got a winner here James!

Harpsichord ??? Very nice.
I stopped by for another listen this morning. Good song!
WOW ...... I like this. Nice picking. The guitar tracks sound fantastic!
Very playful, and I like the story about the Zoom Effects.
ODDLY CAPTIVATING. WELL DONE
Quick fingers on the guitar. Driving beat and great vocal. The bass brings it all together.
Oh ....... That's good . I like all textures.
