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.

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
For Someone extremely special.
And for those that it might help.
Thanks to Dave Purssord for Playing Lead for me.
Thanks to St Mary’s for allowing me to record this live in the Church.
And Thanks to all you all here.
Peace

3rd song about Munga Brown...this time he heads to space to repopulate an all female planet!!!
Music, Lyrics, vocals and all instrument: Ron
Lyrics and inspiration: Andy
Lyrics
Chorus
This heres the story of Munga in space
left this earth without…
From a dark place. Inspired by a T.V. play & of course many News items over the years. Sadly also by close friends, ' But by the Grace of God, go I.....'
MAN THAT I AM - Key Dm
Dm
Train pulls out the station and the shades are all drawn
Cold steel bites my ankles and I am on my way home
G
I would jump out of that window. Risk a bullet in my back
Dm
But I'm shackled to a bunk…
We all lie all the time first person you meet says how are you ,you say fine, and so it go's wives know husbands lie and it the same the other way around. This song is just a little chiding man to woman , just try not to hurt each other and get…
I had to stop and play along with this one.
It took me a minute to figure out you were a half step lower than my banjo. That might be the first song I ever played in F#.
Good Song Terry!
Shows when you get fed up enough,you ain't afraid to raise hell and put a brick under it. (Icelandic national anthem-lyric)-...Oh, God of our country! Oh, our country's God!
We worship Thy name in its wonder sublime.
The suns of the heavens…
The first song I wrote, and yes Fran nicked it !!! It's about the nightmares she was having,which was keeping me awake at night. Same old dream about her childhood & her mother,say no more !!
That's a lot of story telling that you fit into a 7 minute song. I like how you sang "I used to be a little bit wild, but now I'm mostly tame".
I'll bet your wife worked hard to keep you on the straight and narrow.

Big difference Terry. Nice work!
What do you think of recording this with your new microphone? I bet you could make the girls swoon!
Hope you don't mind. I added this to my "Favorites / Other People" playlist. I enjoyed this Adrew!
Lots of attitude . . . I love it.
Interest lyrics and great texture in the music.
Great way to start the day!
This song is "Out Of This World". You really got my feet tapping.
I encourage you to take another try at writing lyrics for this. It's a great track!
I really like this!
Powerful playing to match the message. Well done Roger!
That's the first Juice Harp I've heard on here. Nice going Terry!
Nice playing! Really nice playing!
I like songs about people and their behavior issues. For myself, I feel like I'm moving faster and faster and at the same time, barely moving forward.
Disturbing . . . I suspect that was your objective.
You are getting a great sound here! What have you done differently? whatever it is, do it again!
I had to stop and play along with this one. It took me a minute to figure out you were a half step lower than my banjo. That might be the first song I ever played in F#. Good Song Terry!
Yes . . . Great old song
It's refreshing to hear a a protest song. It keeps us all honest. You have a nice clear vocal recording here too.
Good song with a true story line . . . Great combination! Happy Birthday Tiger! What is this one? 34, 35, or are you still in your twenties?
