This song speaks to a dichotomy I've noticed about the digital age. While businesses certainly have a lot to say to their customers, and use all kinds of electronic means to reach them, the same is not true of the individual. Now that we have…
I would be much more likely to switch the call alert on my phone on, if I liked talking on it...but I guess that's a different point. :-) The only really great form of communication is non-verbal anyway. :-)
This is the first song on the first CD I ever compiled. You'll notice a piano as the primary instrument, and extensive use of horns. I wrote it years ago, and play it when I need some cheering up. Hope you like it.

Another older song, this is my attempt to sound like one of my all-time favorites, Robin Trower. While he never used horns in his songs, I like them (being a former sax player), so I used them in this song to enhance the sound. Let me know what…

This is a lullaby I wrote for my oldest daughter when she was a toddler. Some think it's sweet, and I appreciate that, but I wrote so I could also sing it to her when she wouldn't shut the f*ck up and go to bed!
This is our little bundle of joy now grown up to be 10 years old. She took up the flute this year at school and this is her first effort in front of my microphone.
She decided on the flute after watching some vids of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull…
I completely understand your reaction. My youngest has three favorite songs of mine we used to sing together. She's all of 14 and too grown up to admit it, but she still loves the songs. And I still smile thinking about it.
Nice work on the effects. Tell Nina she plays very well for her age. And the more she plays the more she'll enjoy it and the more others will enjoy hearing her play.
Big regards.

I just listened to your demos, and I think they sound fine as they are. The dance music didn't make me head for the fallout shelter, and this song is actually very nice. I don't think you did a bad job on them at all.

2010 RPM Challenge Track. Lyrics below:
Burning down the wire
And you're out of time
Ripping through the ties
that you try to knot
Telling me "go!"
Telling me "go!"
Is what you want
And you're running out
You're feeling used…
I've been listening to your entire album, and I like Telltale, and the first five songs, and this one, most of all. You have an interesting style. I'm not sure about some of your vocal affects, but the songs are good overall.
ER
I've listened to your entire album, and I enjoyed it a great deal. Made me envious that I can't pluck the strings like you can, but that's my cross to bear. Well done.
ER
You and I have a lot in common. Our lyrics are the strongest part of our music and we get the most from our vocal talents. I enjoyed listening to your album and going around the world with your music. Well done.

I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.

Lovely melody, Terry, and nice harmonies to boot!
Good one, Terry, great music and harmonies.
Yes, love the jangly music...very nice!
Love those guitar parts!
The moody sax and finger picking go really well together here.
Crazy days - great song!
Tip of the hat to the back up band :)
Nice vibrato! Great delivery.
Great lyrics, Terry, and I really like the harmonious backing singing. By the way, did your boss go bust?
I really like the piano, Terry, it quite surprised me, very nice!
Great guitar work! The horns are a nice touch too
Truly funky guitar there, Terry.
I totally dig the guitars. Creative and playful, nice variety of sounds. Like the horns too (I'm also a former sax player)
What sympathetic backing, Terry, suits Tess's beautiful voice.
It's lovely Terry, I like your harmonies as well.
this is so cool you remind me of randy newman! sooooo cool!
you've got a great voice. keep on singin!
I like the guitar sound on this.
Especially like the lyrics, Terry and your musical back up is great.

I like the imagery of the lyrics. You paint an interesting picture. The piano work was first rate, too. The guitar solo was very good as well. ER
Another nice job! Your voice fits well with the accoustic guitar. And the backing vocals add icing to the cake. ER
Nice harmonies! My blues have just been chased away. ER
Singing along with you on this. I feel better already. ER

Would you be talking about Glenn Beck? Anyone else??????er

I have enjoyed listening to your music. It is interesting and relaxing. Several, like this one, have a good beat. ER
I like the story on this. I think the story could apply to a woman as easily as a man. Either way, this is a nice song. ER
And you know it's hopeless only when the horse leaves you alone in the barn. I like your lyrics. They have quite a bit of insight. ER
Very nice song. Well played. ER
Like the storytelling on this one. ER
I liked the vocals and the atmosphere of this song most of all. ER
Your songs have a hypnotic quality to them. The vocals on this reflect that more than most. ER
Enjoyed your songs very much. I just might download a few so I can listen on my mp3 player, if that's okay with you. ER
Another bright and bouncy melody. And I see myself the same way. ER
Like this one, too. Bouncy beat and nice guitar work. Sing that scat!! Found myself singing along. Nice one. ER
