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!

I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…
Mrs R is right . . . *"It's ready"*
You have acomplished what many can not; Offer a complete thought in a succinct manor.
Nice going Andrew! You make it sound easy.
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees
Shaking…

I've been working on this song for 3 years. I recorded it many times. I was never happy with it until Trevor(Regs) made it a song. Fantastic job on the vox man.
My submission for the Woody Project.
I started this jam in A minor then found out it was in C. So I figure I got as close as a guess can get.
I left it as is because it's a jam, and this tune should be jammed 300 million ways.
Enjoy Woody…
As turning the pages of memory, randomly and lento. All that I know, is seen not as it was actually, but with age and experience (...dusted?). How can I forget? Do I need to?
~Kudamm distant bells ringing not for me, not for us, not for who…
Lets dig up an old one. In another time & space had to come up with a song with the line 'Solar Radiation and a New Pair of Boots' in it. I came up with this little ditty... Blame Steve Krell !!!!!!

I see what jip1965 is talking about. The song has a touch of melancholy (at least to my ears). Very inviting. Good one Lady!
Lots of forward momentum for having nothing to say. I love it! I like the *"Dancing Girls"* idea that jip1965 mentioned. That could be a nice touch.
Excellent. Good foot tapper.
Good lyrics my friend. Always the optimist.
Lot's of energy. Ooh I just heard the lead break. . . Nice! You guy have a winner!
I'm looking for agates among the archives this morning. FOUND ONE!
You got me! Now I'm filled with inspiration! I think I'm going to play this in the car every morning as I go forth to tackle another day. Well Done!
I like your clear uncluttered approach. Very refreshing.
I like that sparse characteristic to the song. It's very inviting.
Beautiful Igor!
You Are Sounding Good Fran! Yes I feel the 50/60's vibe too
I guess this one is my favorite too.
I think this one is my favorite!
Which hand do you hold the handkerchief with when you are playing the guitar? You can really build emotion into your lead playing.
Lady . . . You are bring a little class to the place! That's a fun song to listen to.
The ending made me laugh. Well done Rick!
This brings back memories! Ahhhh ... the good old days!
This is going to be a good one when it's done!
This song really reflects the optimism that I mentioned in your profile. Nice Job Rick!
