Lyrics:
Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
I was anticipating 3 times as much, 4 times as much... but then, you know, the mark of a true artist is knowing when to stop. Twice as much is enough for any man I guess.
all I can say is "oooo". Another good one, Greg. I think that you could've added some of your famous head shaking, though... right after the part about all your charms.

Lyrics:
River run away with me
I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow
Closer to the…
(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…

The most beautiful, gorgeous Sea Shanty I've ever hear. So haunting, chilling, gripping... I'm in awe. The instrumentation, the melody -- you're a marvelous talent. Too real! Wow -- just wow!

The other day I was having problems
So I called my son
Because he always helps me when I'm in trouble...
When the mouse can't see the dongle
The cursor is erratic.
There's something in the way
Move that chair

Another new song

Where in the world did we go wrong
All the bad guys are coming on so strong
We're slowly losing all our rights
A quiet revolution overnight
Whenever you think that it's not right…
No more covid songs....
Time to write about other things
This one's for my muse
I had uploaded an earlier version, but didn't like the mix

April rain storms are exciting but I am warm and cozy in side.
wrote this after hearing that some people suggest a dream before settling in for the nite. My J 45 really wrote this tune I just sang along
Written for a zoom group of favored musicians to criticize but I thought about it and it sounds alright to me. lets see if they will just support or make it better.
Hummmmmmmm.
A true story romanticized a bit . Old Charlie is a real…
Looking down the road as how sweet it will be after the bug” virus”

Open the doors and windows , drive fast with the top down

The worst man possible for the job right now

You divide and conquer
While there is fear and hunger
You play a dangerous game
But you won't take any blame
Your're a cheat and…
Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...

Sounds like you are on a roll ! Way to pluck on them strings. If you play long enough you'll work off that caffeine rattle.
The title pulled me in. The guitar playing kept me there. Wow!
Still good!
I really like the groove of your songs.
My favorite line: “You saved me from going down” Nice uplifting song.
Great message and wonderful music. Your guitar parts are fantastic.
Nice Lead Break Roger! This was an absolute riot to send this song around between the 4 of us and now post it!
This is a fun idea to contemplate. See you when you land.
You are on fire! This is a great song.
Nice blues track! It’s tough when they come for your van. 🚘 Keep hitting those green lights🚦
I love it ! ❤️ the Good Wife makes it special.
This has that lonesome wish I was there feeling!
I like that guitar sound. Great message. The Bug is gone and here comes the block party! You gotta love it.
Rock on . . . . . until we tip over the edge.
You are the Master of the 12 string.
Now I’m hungry. You have some nice licks here.
Nice groove and interesting message
How many times can I “Favorite” this? Outstanding dual effort! Excellent message on top of an outstanding track.
Great Song!
