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!

Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell
This might be my favorite SLKrell song.
This is an impromptu version that Buck & I played with the tape rolling.
Here is the original version of the song:

The local songwriters were in my living room earlier this week, and we had a great night. We recorded a live version of this song I posted earlier this month, and I thought you'd enjoy hearing Colin W, Greg C and Scott Z playing and singing too!
I'm just now, this morning, listening to this with nice speakers.
This is a *GREAT* Song, and I'm so impressed with the quality of the recording from that little Tascam recorder.
The blend of vocals, bass, rhythm and lead sounds balanced to me.
It feels like we accomplished something!

This song was originally written for the Angie Fights Crime album XCHANGE and is now the first single off our upcoming album.

I wrote this song for my sister who got married last June. I performed it at her wedding reception. It's about going through dark times, depression, and the power of love that gets you through the pain.
This was the result of a recent EM class. We had to combine audio and digital instruments. The two classical guitar tracks are of course the audio portion. Used Logic X for the other instruments. Hope you enjoy.
Hi Johnny,
I've been taken by this song. I hope you don't mind, I wrote some lyrics to go with it.
Adeline you’re the reason why
I greet the sun in the morning sky
You’re the reason that I’d walk a mile
Just to see your perfect smile
It’s just a feeling that I get from you
It’s everything that we’ve been through
I’m the most happy when I’m here with you
I only hope that you can feel it too
We’ll watch the stars together you and I
And when you say you love me I’ll reply
I can’t imagine what my life would be
If you weren’t here with me
Reaching out I hope you take my hand
We’ll make each day together something grand
Because I want to spend my life with you
Until our days are through
Adeline you’re the reason why
I greet the sun in the morning sky
More from the archives. This was the opening cut on Scartaglen's 1986 album "The Middle Path". A double jig, a slip jig, and 2 reels. I played bouzouki and Uilleann pipes on this cut
I uploaded this tune several years ago. The other day I found the track was truncated,and when I tried to replace it, that didn't work. Well, anyway, since then I've redone all the vocals and remixed & remastered the tune, so I just blew away…
Hi Robert,
I haven't experienced that problem of downloading automatically.
I have to say your songs are reaching a new level of professionalism. You are leaving the rest of us in the dust.
Here's a couple of old one's. Having had my left wrist crushed between a Scaffold pole & a nice lump of Steel at work, need a few more weeks rest before I try a strum or two !!!!

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.
Well I hope that one earns you a great Thanks Giving dinner
This has a really nice feel to it.....always great singin and playin.....hey where you been?
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.

Lovely rocking rhythm right up there with your best Greg.

Where are you Bethan? Let's hear a little of your great voice.

Excellent live version of a great song. Sounds like you have been singing this song for years!
Love the Chorus!
Pretty Good! Sounds just like an old record.
Good Stuff! A twist on a classic!
Beautiful song Melissa! I remember you singing this last summer. You played it on Bill Mann's guitar. Beautiful, touching, heartfelt song!
Rich sounds all the way through. I love the sound of both guitars supported by the orchestration.
Wow! This really got my attention. Well done Willis.

Delightful
I think this is my favorite of what I've heard from you. I like Melissa's voice in there with yours.
Ooooooh that's good! Key of G I had to pick up my C Harmonica and play along.

This has the soul of a great romance song.
I just read the description. Hope you are ok.
Great Song! This should help her with a speedy recovery!
