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!

@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!

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
just…

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.

*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.

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.
