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…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…
I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again.
Something about that last chord and the expression on your face.
Now, off to work!
New song By Andy & Ron
Andy: Lyrics
Ron: music and lyrics, all guitars, bass and vocals.
About an aging rocker who thinks he can still impress the ladies!!!
Lyrics
Verse 1
I knew I was a rocker in my groovy leather pants
I looked at all…
I see your mind is going *"full speed ahead"*
Who would have thought that success with the ladies was all predicated on "Groovy Leather Pants". I think I better go get a a pair.
Nice guitar play too, by the way!
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!
** THE PONY…
Simple this one & new !!! Reuben Paul Harris born on this date to my Son & his good Wife. The blood line lives on for another generation !!!!
That's my Boy !!!
Love it, Love it.
Light & Bouncy. The ending is particularly touching. It sounded like the third generation weighing in.
Overall fantastic presentation.
Honest Man
-
I went down to the riverside
Way on down where the water's deep and wide
I stripped right down to my naked skin
I jumped in the river and hoped I'd learn to swim
Cause I knew the river would take me
or I'd learn
And whether I live…
January Town
-
With the snow coming down
in this January town
how could I not think of you
Oh the words that you said
still echo in my head:
When one dies one is born anew
In the parking lot of the graveyard
a stranger walked up to me
he said…
Second song by Martin Fox
Was on a Pete Townshend kick lately. this one came to me as i was listening to the random recordings on my phone. still not happy with the vocal mix. we spent a lot of time tweaking too.
My attempt at writing a bluegrass tune and an opportunity to try my hand at some flat pickin'
... loosely based on a friends experiences growing up in a small town in the prairies ... where everything is flat ... you know, a place where you can…
dedicated to our "cold hearted orb that rules the night",, bassoon and french horn exchange glances with one another, cross a web of strings with a little timpani,in for the flavor,,, i have been trying to figure a bassoon into my work, so here…
a small quiet piece for a Sunday evening,, all four string sections are present here,, violin, viola,cello and contrabass,,it's kind of fun to try to mix, and pass the various themes around,,
Country/Folk with just my acoustic guitar and my voice. An ode to my home state, North Dakota. This is a rough draft. Any helpful criticism is welcome.
My Brother lives in Bismarck. I think they'll bury him there too. It's his garden of eden for hunting and fishing.
You did a great job capturing the sentiment.

** THE PONY…
I laughing out loud.
I wish I could fave this more than once. If this song had antlers, I would suggest you mount it on the wall. It's a REAL trophy!
Please excuse me while I "PRESS PLAY" again.
