Take Me North (with Ashley)

The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for Ashley, a talented singer… and only thirteen years old at the time of this recording.

I really liked the guitar interlude. You and Ashley sound great together. You sound a little John Denver-ry in this one.

Last Track of the Album... Well... This is the perfect closing tune...... As Impressed at the Guitar and Musical skills I am, This was not the highlight of the Album for me... The Highlight was that I was Listening to a man of substance, imparting lessons, messages and Good times and life experience that he “May have” (Sorry...Title is cool) had through his songs! That’s what it ever should be about bro! I have only ever listened to around three albums in my life.. Was Busy as a Kid..... And I’m from the dance music generation. One was by Cat Stevens .... One By Damien rice .... And this is the third... I can Honestly say that this is on par and to be brutally honest, I prefer your works.. There is an air about your album that suggests you are the genuine article! No Pretence.. .... Just Straight up Tunes That someone can take something from... I wrote “Arise” after listening to one of your tracks... I Thought “Why don’t I just Appreciate what I have!” I hope the messages in your tunes continue to influence me... It Aint a bad way to be bro. Thanks for a great Album! Peace T (OsCKilO)

Recorded a while ago when I really didn't have any idea what I was doing... Even so, the talent of the kid in the duet comes through. Apologies for the opening seven seconds of silence (hmmm... I may need to name my next album that).

Saved!
