An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…

I wanted to have a banjo fiddle tune but i still haven't learnt to play either instrument, so this is my famous 1 string banjo technique, with mandolin and guitar. It's style is inspired by meeting Morgan O'Kane and Ferd 4 last…

I'm sill looking for better lyrics for this but i like listening to it. EDIT i found them - see v2
It's been up at the Challenge site for a few days so i thought it ought to be up here too

RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…

I'm still not sure meself but it calls for drastic measures.
either i have to change the lyric or i have to call the album 'The Cat's Moustache'.

One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
i'm not sure if i like this song. it has a ruff sort of flow and recording. i was thinking of adding some mellow synth backing to help it sound full but i don't want to start that now, so i wont.
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line

Comments on Gumbo's stuff
This a great song Gumbo. Luv the lyrics and the energy. Uh uh uh oh, way to go!
I wanna play my washboard :)
Perfect Mr. Gumbo. Clean and appropriately mixed for your style. Which I think is totally original.
Delightful!! Perhaps a bit of harmonica?
i feel like i should be around a campfire during the civil war
oh and an extra nod from the wife. you are honoured, she never likes anything. ever.
yeah i wouldnt bother with those other strings fella they're clearly surplus to requirements.. :)
I am fond of your 1 string method! Just another great song from the Gum.!!!
Let's here it for Morgan O'Kane. This is really fun Gumbo.
Thats a great one string banjo technique you have enjoyed it
i re-sang this because the start was bugging me so it's slightly, not radically, different and in a good direction.
Cool! Reminds me a bit of a Rev Gary Davis tune
three cheers for The Cat's Mustache!
Stu you on a roll!! Of course this is RPM. But I am enjoying the journey anyway!
moosestachio fine with me! I know how hard A-Capella is. You did an excellent job doing it! It has just the right timbre.
thanks Alex I'm still not sure meself but it calls for drastic measures. either i have to change the lyric or i have to call the album 'The Cat's Moustache'.
accapella works. like it as it is. The mustache did stand out to me but i kinda liked it personally. nice one chum
Good stuff
Excellent
rob and laura hit the nail firmly on the head there. cant put it any better.. agree entirely. u do it complete and utter justice.. not easily done

Hup!
Hey that's perfect for my late night reverie
Randy Newman, eat your heart out!
Great vocal! great lyrics and a wonderful supporting ensemble. Faved.
these are great mixes, Tim. Love this one, too.
smudged it with my foot, covered it up with leaves but came back to see what I believed. Love this line.
This is an amazing track.
