Written for the January Song Writing Challenge put forth by Carl Unbehaun on Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. "Write about something new".
Inspired in part by the disruption caused by the Government Shutdown.
It's been a long time. Too many distractions and not enough time, or even focus to play lately.
Somehow this song, "Higher Ground" squeaked out from some hidden place.

Neat Song Greg. I like the way you blended the recording - Guitar - Great Voice - Harmonica. I did not realize you were a song writer along with all of the other talents.
The circling of life
The ability to find your way
Like a compass in the night
And the coming of another day
It’s like when the stars align
You’ve been given just a glimpse of truth
And you think that you might find
The Optimism held in…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

Here's another little something that I somehow got sidetracked on posting.... Thanks for the jams Norm! One of these days I'll bounce something fresh your way....

A re-visit to a song wrote in 2008. A simple song, in my subconscious I think someone like the great Hank Williams was having a poke about. And no, I don't compere myself to him or other greats from the past. I'm just me !!!!

I dreamed you moved into me
we blended effortlessly,
now awake I plea a reunion
'cause…
There's not a drop of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the puddles of this war.
But the blood that's spilled's become a flood
of the hungry and the poor.
There is not a trace of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the bags that hang beside
the beds of legless soldiers…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…

Beautiful song, very clear recording.
I can feel the paddle dig in to this tune. It's a winner John!
Now if you can just get Charles and Camilla to dance to this!
Yes, I can imagine snow while listening to this beautiful music. Well done Don!
I like how it builds, just the way I imagine a Lazy Sunday feels.
This is "FUN Music"
Very melodic and enjoyable. Reminded me a little of one of heros . . . Ian Anderson.
Iteresting landscape of percussive sound.
A true love song! Go get her tiger!
Beautiful . . . It just keeps rolling along. I think I heard a little harmonica in there.
A nice tribute to one of the best flat pickers I have ever heard. We're going to miss him.
Lyrics inspired by Albert Einstein? Lady . . . You got style!
Refreshing. I like the contrast between the playful sound of the music and the seriousness of the topic.
I noticed you updated this song! Very Pretty Terry!
This seems to float. Very enjoyable.
This is like a leaf floating away on a stream. A GREAT 4 minute ride!
Thought provoking. It gives me a sick feeling when I think about how we are all being manipulated.
A very thoughtful tribute, beautifully played.
Hey! Congratulations! I'll bet if feels good. Nice accomplishment.
Go get um! Keep the bastards in line. Good Lyrics!
