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…

Tales shared from long ago

(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away

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!

Feeling down, I don’t know why
Remembering how I used to feel those times I cried
Running down this lonely heart
it just don’t feel the same now that we’re apart
And I know…
An old song revisited. My attempt of writing a Ye Olde style Folk song !!!! The old version is still deep down in My Tracks, be a where the sound is awful !!!!!
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
A little ditty i recorded at the weekend and then sent off to the Mighty Two Regs to strut his stuff all over and man that boy can sing!!!
Cheers Reg,your a star!!!
In a kinda Folky mood. Maybe the sad loss of Pete last month and watching the British Folk awards, so, dug out an old one that always came out when we had friends around for drinkies , a bit of grub and a chat. My be a few more to come, while…
While on our European journey last summer, we stopped at an American Cemetery in between Venice and Florance Italy. It was a gray wind swept day, long rows of white crosses ran across a deep green grass field. I have read a bit about the allied…

PATCHWORK PLAN
You don’t have a job and I don’t have a place to stay
I make just enough for all the bills you have to pay
We won’t roll in dough but who needs money anyway

What instrument played in the lead break? Very interesting. It was a perfect change up.
These women that you keep singing about . . . I'd like to meet a few of them.

Nice *"Back To The Country"* song. I like that Open A tuning.
I. Think I know this woman that you are singing about. She really gets around. Nice harmonica Dave!
Good music! I spent a few minutes listening to several songs.
Sitting here on Saturday afternoon, playing along to your tune across the pond. *You gotta love the internet!*
This put some lead in my pencil this morning. Now I'm ready for the day.
Perfect Spring Love Song!
Still a *"KICK ASS"* Lullaby
*Bullseye* . . . ! You hit the spot Andrew!
Good to hear this today! Spring just isn't coming around this years. You got a nice refreshing song here!
You guys are both delivering the goods here. Good combined result.
Big smile this morning finding this. You both sound like you're having fun!
This hits the spot this morning. A little melancholy, just like our cold weather lately. I like the harmony.
I like that Latin influence
This is a nice set of songs for your RPM 2014.
Nice!
Another beautiful piece. Sounds like you had a great European vacation. My Father In Law was stationed off Italy during World War II.
You have the touch Richard. This is like taking a 6 minute break from everything going on today.
Nice version of one of my favorite songs.
Great story telling.
