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…

Five Stars my friend.......slkrell

Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…

Hi Greg, a lady never tells! But as you asked so nicely, yes I had a lovely New Year with my little granddaughters, drank a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and shared a room with a 5 year old!
My son presented me with a new grandson! Yes, I had great new year! No, no hangover! :)Yet!!
Happy New Year to you and Rita

Winter Solstice
Written by Greg Connor
When the G days are short, and the C evening’s so D long
And the C wind is D shaking the G trees
When the cold snow crunches C beneath your D feet
And your C cheeks are D…
A collab with Tod from the other side....Thanks Tod..... i'm responsible for the waffle & lead ....Thanks for listening
Drink the whiskey
The earth has burned nothing here will grow
It’s just a dust bowl and earth as hard as bone

I have always loved this poem by Robert Frost.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
BY ROBERT FROST
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods…
Ahoy, shipmates, it's that there time of year again, when yer ready to hang over the lee rail on account of all them insipid Christmas songs they've been blatting at you everywhere you turn ever since Halloween, if not before.
Well, I've got…
You got the spirit of Christmas right here Robert!
Merry Christmas! I hope you make bail.

COLORS - For Donna
Roses are red. Violets are blue
I could name a bunch of flowers and colors too
Roses are red. Tulips are too
But I could never name all the colors that look good on you

The pages of the book were leaking into the dream
Wading through waters of time, an unconscious stream
Eyes begin to flicker, getting heavier with sleep
Takes you by force into the deep

I'm invited to play at Moscow's Banjofest next month. I decided to do a clawhammer banjo set, as nobody much is playing that style over here. I'm recording backing tracks so I can play the tunes with a virtual band, and this mix of this old traditional…

I added some additional lyrics to complete the last verse and we played this around Greg's coffee table last night.
Greg Connor, Mark Lofgren, and Mike Rudquist on guitars and vocals with me....
Hope you enjoy this version as much as the first!
Greg Connor, Scott Zosel and I wrote this one today around my coffee table. It's been awhile since we've had a chance to do that, and it felt like "going home" a bit to us...
We wrote this in support of all those who are trying to find the…

I KEEP MY RADIO ON
I keep my radio on
From sunset to dawn
Keeps the spooks at bay
Scares them all away
I keep my radio on
I guess some folks got no problems
Some folks got no regrets

I’m not there yet…
“You commented on my song I KEEP MY RADIO ON. You also added, “I once had someone call me selling a security system. I told them “I don’t need it.” They will only come in here once.” Did you write that song?*”

No, I never wrote the song, but always thought I would begin the song with the sound of my 12 guage shotgun as I open the action.
