I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.

I like what you're doing with mandolin these days. Something I'd like to do more with but a) it's tuned so weird!! and b) the neck is dinky for my short fat fingers.
Sure have that same feeling of summer flying by! Good to hear your beautiful voice and lovely song here. I really like this one! Pensive and melancholy. Lovely
Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…

Here is a *MOJITO* Fueled version of "TV Dinner" that we recorded last Monday night in my Basement.
It's one of 9 songs we will be taping for Community TV, thanks to the *Minnesota Association Of SongWriters*

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.
This is a mess but when we tried to clean it up it killed the spirit of it so we decided to just take off our critics hat and just enjoy the energy of it.
FOREVER by James Michael Taylor
My baby say she loves me. Gonna love me forever…
Another old one. I sort of call it my 'Ram' moment !!! As if !! Anyway, I can remember I wrote this 3 or 4 weeks after my mother passed away. Yeh, I know, a strange song to write, I like to think I was celebrating her life. She was a great Mum…
trance acoustic
All the recording/looping/synth were done on my iphone, using Loopy and Animoog app. Some post processing in Logic. The 12 string is tuned to C6.
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Nice & cool
The first line alone conveys so much! Powerful song on multiple levels. Thanks for sharing it.
Great song even though there is a sad undertone.
Very Nice Greg !

Wow cool track mate

She wants to know if you're playing London some time soon!
Wife: Click the fave button! Me: OK
Wife lying on the sofa goes "who's this??" - I play her some more :-) Mighty cool tune, btw.

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?
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.
Lots of emotion in here John. I can hear it loud and clear. An absolutely stunning song with message and technique.
Reminds me of one of those sparklers on the 4th of July. Good One James!
Roger . . . You might have to start practicing if you want to keep up with Fran!
Good message Terry! I have to confess though, I was thinking about the last "Hot Dog" picture you sent me, while I was listening to your new song.
Great message, and good positive vibe, wrapped in an enjoyable melody. Nice one Roger!
"One too many beers"? No No No Just the right amount of fuel. You nailed it!
. Nice riffs and fantastic guitar tone!
. . . Beautiful . . . Hypnotic . . .
Outstanding Kirk! Beautiful work.
Nice one Billy! I stopped back for another listen, and added it to my "Good Friends and Company" Playlist (Favorites on AloneTone).
