The lyrics for this song were inscribed on the headstone when the legendary character Tom Thumb died. Inge did the vocals for this song and did a wonderful job. The harmonies, along with the a capella intro and coda, are hers, and take the song…

a new song I'm working on ... recorded on an iphone ... lyrics below ... enjoy (or cry your eyes out ...) ... love to hear what you think.
It's been a year, four months and a day
Since that time you slipped away
Disappeared right out of…
I'm amazed you recorded this on an iphone. It's very good quality for that.
Your guitar sound great, the lyrics tell a sad story, but are delivered well.
I thought I was going to have us record a cleaner version of this - this is a live take from a Christmas service. I wrote a song to tag along after the end of one my favorite songs ever, The Star Carol. Today's endless streaming of snow, still…

Unexpected style . . . and enjoyable
Good story telling and good picking John!
Ukelele? . . . nice touch.
Nice piano and story telling.

I had to stop for a little more Chuck Berry this afternoon.
Very touching message, and smooth delivery.
Very Pretty Terry . . . You old Softy!
Good One!
This really caught my attention. It's different and very interesting.
I'm waiting for the video now! I want to see you do the "Chuck Berry" across the stage. You got the vibe here. My feet are tapping.
Good Lyrics and your guitar playing is always a treat.
It's a Chart Buster! The birds really got my attention. Is that a 12 string? Yahoo . . . Spring is coming !!!!
I like it. It just bounces along effortlessly.

A nice unexpected surprise! Well Done!
Yes, this is a good one! I'll put it on the "Spring Time" album when the time comes.
Nice Rich guitar sound, and melancholy vocal. Good combination.
Interesting ... It brought to mind a video that I have of the Grateful Dead.
Good lyrics . . . as usual. Great "Easy Listening" Song!
