Lyrics:
Trading Smiles
Trading smiles on a cloudy day
Wish good fortune come your way
A passing glance, I’m on my way
Trading smiles
Courtesy seems all but gone
No idea what went wrong
For most of us, it’s been too long
Trading…
Goodness, I have a lot of listening-catch-up to do! Great slide work and patiently played, as is fitting for the song. I like how you don't rush but, rather, find a groove immediately which enables your listeners to relax and enjoy. The groove phenomenon is true of all your songs!
I missed this one Bethan's beautiful vocal and Lisa's playing along with you guitar a wonderful piece of work what collabs were made for....excellent job all round.....
Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…
Thanks for listening ........
SLEEP WHILE I DRIVE
Baby you can sleep while I drive
The Stars shine bright as I’ll slip the car into overdrive
I’ve got faith showing me the way out to the dream
Out into that brand new day
Where hopes…

I know I should be working on National Solo Album Month, but I'm two timing this month and working on more re-recordings as well. This is the first song for volume three.
I wrote this in 2016 during my June album in a month project. I had…
This isn't the best song I've ever written. I think that one is on the Quarantine Tunes Volume 1 playlist. No, it's not the best but... I'm pretty sure it's my favorite song I've ever written. Not because of the quality of the song, but because…
Well I'm always searching for different sounds to add to my songs, hopefully I've have here. Mind you, learning to play Violins, Violas and Cellos took a bit of

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
DIRTY LAUNDRY Key C
I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk
Big black bags of something. I said, “What’s with these?”
He said, “It’s dirty laundry.” I said, “That’s crazy.”
So, he…
That’s a nice piece of music! I pictured downhill skiing or snowboarding. I’ll admit, we had a whole week of snow last week. That may be why I’m thinking along those lines.
CATTAILS AND BUTTERFLIES capo @ 4 in C
C G repeat
There was a field around the corner
And a stream flowed cross the field
There were cat tails in the summer time
And monarch butterflies
And tadpoles sprouting wings

A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…
A friend asked me,
"Don't you have any happy songs?"
So I wrote one!
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY capo @ 3

If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe

Comments made by Greg Connor
Yes, this is right up my alley.
Melancholy feeling drifting along through the haze.
Excellent!
Walking down memory lane this morning. This song becomes more appropriate every year that goes by.
I used to know this girl a long, Long, LONG time ago.
Great tone! Thanks for explaining it in the description.
Another sonic blast of great tone.
Oh ..... I like this.
Good tribute to a good friend.
A multi Instrumentalist? Can I have your autograph? This is a really nice song, even though there's a little hanky panky going on.
EXCELLENT! Reminds me of a blow up doll my friend once had. Everything you ever wanted.
I think there are a lot of us who are one step away from Russell’s situation.
That’s a nice piece of music! I pictured downhill skiing or snowboarding. I’ll admit, we had a whole week of snow last week. That may be why I’m thinking along those lines.
Simply a work of genius
that was fun!
This is good! It makes me happy too.
This made me happy!
Oh . . . This is GOOD.
Love it ❤️ A big scoop of attitude with less trick and more treat!
You are setting the pace. This is a thought provoking situational presentation Well done.
