Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)

OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened?
Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)
thank you for the comment! i'm slowly learning how to make harmonies, some songs its just much harder on, and other just work themselves out almost... wierd. i sometimes use outside harmony help, i'll find a harmony on my guitar first or something to that nature...

I go back far enough to remember waiting for Ruben and the Jets to be issued on CD, but I think you might have me beat there, kirk. One of my favourite discs. I could get into some beefier backing vocals - that'd be fun.

HA HA- I hear this and all I can think of is Flo and Eddie doing background vocals like on Zappa's "Ruben and the Jets" (yeah I go back that far) Great stuff!

@Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions!
@kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!

beautiful - and inspired by Dave' comment i have to chime in that it's like finding an old 78 with no label in a garage sale and taking it home and finding out it's Billie Holiday
this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
Here is the "more complete" track I promised with backing vocals.
A song about loving the real me...who do i see when i look in the mirror? Do I love what I see?....i really want to.
your wooden fingers have felt before
and now they…
Written and Recorded: Feb 14, 2010

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
Great Texas Blues song.I like the fact that a classic blues tune like this was written right here in East Texas.These songs are truly part of the history of this area, trains still run the tracks, but not nearly as important nowadays to the people…
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…

get the yard cut with that sangria? :-) hope it was motivational.
LOL Yes! That's what this needs - a video with thunderstorms and dancers!
I really like the pace of this one. Very laid back... at least it made me very laid back. Also, this is about the speed at which I can actually dance.
thank you for the comment! i'm slowly learning how to make harmonies, some songs its just much harder on, and other just work themselves out almost... wierd. i sometimes use outside harmony help, i'll find a harmony on my guitar first or something to that nature...
*sways* Oh what a moonlight serenade! LOVING your upper register!
How could she say "No" after that?
Laughed all the way through this one. Fun. BTW... I have Ruben and the Jets on vinyl.

Damn- I don't think I can get m passport together by tonight! A fish fry on the west coast of Ireland- what could be better!
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you! @Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions! @kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!
time is about the only thing i have right now but I doubt you were calling me baby :-)
Ha ha, mm, very witty sir! I asked for that.
Too cool- Love it! When's the fish fry?
Hahaa! Certainment! Bring your potions - the more the merrier!
Yee Haa, Can I come? You'll have to get rid of that Savage woman!
I've got the time. :-)
Jammin' I love your style man.
Great song!
Love this song, but have to say, these are just f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c lyrics.
