This is an answer to the question posed to me by Bethan Mathis. This is how I've been feeling this week. I'm okay. I've just come to the realization about the rhythm of life.

Right back at you .... "Been there, done that".
Sometimes I think that the more different we think we are, the more we're just the same, or at least our situations seem similar.
I guess that's the long way of saying that I can relate to your song.

This is a song about losing a friend. It was written after I attended her funeral. I am the type of artist given to bouts of self-examination, and this song is a result of one of those bouts.

Here's another one with the honkey tonk style of piano. I wrote this song some time ago using my usual mix of guitars, then decided to see what it might sound like using the piano. The new instrument gave the song an entirely different sound…
Sam did a great job on this song. Both the lead and backing vocals are hers. The song could use a little editing, but I thought you'd all like to hear it anyway.
Enjoy.

Keith Landry used his considerable vocal talents on this song, and he made a decent song sound great. I added one or two harmonies, but the lead vocals are his. I think he did a great job. What do you think?

Time for a little humor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last year, and the pain was debilitating. When I got the right pain meds, I felt so much better that I wrote this song. Colin added his considerable vocal talents and his harmonica and brought…

Thanks ER. I can relate to this track. I seem to be in a continual state of self examination. Never quiet sure of my footing in the life. It does make for good tunes. Just remember to keep at least one foot on the ground, and dangle the other over the edge. Sorry for you loss and take care. -JG

Thanks for the listens ER. Glad you enjoyed my improv...I have been trying different ways of doing hammer-ons in different tuning. Some of the parts in that kind of reminded me of percussion more then guitar. :)
This is a rough demo recording of a solo marimba composition from 2000. This is part 3 of a 3 part piece [1. Once (marimba) 2. Twice (marimba) 3. Three Times (marimba)]
I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
Liked this very much. If I might make an observation, your songs sound like there is, or should be, a vocal track running through them. I don't know if you did vocals or have lyrics for these, but I found myself adding my own melody and finding my own lyrics to go with the music.

A rough and ready audience recording of my set at open mic night at Queens Park Centre, Aylesbury.
Setlist:
Stand Up But Not To Fall
Revolution
All Was Nothing
Been listening to all of your selections and I must say I'm impressed. Your lyrics are very thoughtful and your songs are excellent. Will be back to listen to more.

Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year.
I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
This is like a mission for the Doom Patrol
I need a robot body for my brain
Miss Callas calls
the dopamine exhanges
the sound of down
And there is danger everywhere
the scissor men are coming
House of icons
Felt like cards
The brilliant…
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.
Been listening to all of your selections and enjoyed them very much. I like the steady beats and find myself creating melodies for some of the tunes. Will be back for more.

The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
A friend of mine once called this kind of jam session "noodling", as in "straight from your noodle (pointing to his head) to the guitar". This is a primo "noodling" session.
ER
Well, here's a REAL oldie. This is the one my kids like me to play most when we're in the backyard with the fire pit and the sun going down. They play gently through the first 4:07... And then run around like maniacs for the last 1:20.

"The rhythm of life is a powerful beat!" We just have to learn to dance to it and let it flow! Glad you are ok Terry.
powerful words -- i think i can relate to a fair amount of it :)
WOW! Mighty fine kick a$$ track ER! Click...fave w;-)
Well said.
Yeah, it's about staying sane and trying to live forever but I repeat myself.
Like the intro on this! Thanks for listening!
work on the quality a bit, but other then that, i love it. :)
Really like this one.
Very nice.
Thanks for listening to my album! I really appreciate the feedback! I like the rag time feel of the piano on this song, it's very upbeat.
Nice one Terry!
Killer track. Very much enjoyed, track was nailed down and keith really was spot on the vocals.
Dude how the heck did I miss this. What?!? I love colin's work, and your work on this track just fits it perfect!!! FAV'D

Lovely song-writing anthem.
Catchy tune ....I'll remember it.......
Great use of music to express something deep.

Great instrumentals, Love the drum sound.

Listened to the entire album and enjoyed every song. ER
This is certainly a departure for you. I keep expecting the guitar to kick in along with the drums and base. This is intriguing, though. ER
Listened to several selections and liked what I heard. Sometimes your guitar work reminds me of one of my faves: Robin Trower. Well done. ER

Sounds very good, sir. Wish I was there. ER
Love the harmonies. ER
Like this a lot. And NONE of us are supermen. ER
Been listening to all of your selections and I must say I'm impressed. Your lyrics are very thoughtful and your songs are excellent. Will be back to listen to more. ER
Very nice. You sound a bit like Mister Jagger if he did a slow song. ER
I've been listening to your selections, and I like the music very much. I also find your lyrics most intriguing. Will be back to listen again. ER
Very nice folk song. Well done. ER
Just stopped by to listen to a few of your tunes. Sounds good! ER
Listened to all the selections and liked what I heard. Keep up the good work. ER
Righteous work on the guitar. ER
I knew several teachers. Love this song. Right on, brother. ER

This was excellent. One of my many failings is the inability to fingerpick anywhere near as well as this. Well done. ER

Run around like a maniac? I do that at work every day. Nice playing. I'll bet the kids all fall down at the end. :-) ER
Very nice. Liked it a lot. ER
