There is nothing like the presence of a horse. The quiet understanding. The gentle strength.
Woodlake, California...1961. I had a horse. She was my friend.
There were times in my teens when Babe was the only being that did not judge me…

This story is a poem sent to me by Lesley Sawyer from a blog on her MySpace site and I put it to music and am posting it so she can hear it and maybe see if it's alright. We don't know who wrote the poem. If anybody does please tell me. j mt
My 3 year old grand daughter is now almost old enough to understand this. She sat there fascinated the other day. When it finished she asked me to tell her the story and when I said how Suzy saved the others, she had such a triumphant look on her face.
Especially how Ruth tried to teach Suzy how to fly. Yes!!! I always knew she would love it. Thanks a lot.

We listen for years for words to explain ourselves. "I'm good but not THAT good," was such a moment for me. Good enough to stay in the game but never good enough to win.

I wrote another song but the general reaction suggested that I best "scrap the puppy." So, I salvaged what I could and started over. This is what I got...

Slide Guitar man.
Yes, I asked Gary for an up-tempo slide track to fit my lyrics. Then I worked out a melody and Sister Savage put it all together. It was wavs and MP3's. Cheers Bee

JOHNNY BROKE AN AXLE 110220
I got revved up on blueberry donut holes
and cranked this one out...
Johnny broke an axle
Broke it like a pencil
Oh, no.
We need an ambulance at turn three.

I found this Tangelwood guitar locally in a repair barn
its a parlor with 12 frets to the body
the top wood is cedar, this guitar can sing
I am sharing its beauty with you for free
A little celestial inspiration for this song.... I started it and Greg and Mark helped me finish it and then record around my kitchen table. Feel free to howl if you like it!

Randy Brown and I did a little co-write this evening and this is what we came up with...
I MISTOOK IT FOR THE MOON Capo @ 2 Key D (Play in C positions)
I was coasting across West Texas/Had my top down, it was late at night
I caught a coyote…
I love the"Mistook Moon" song! Like one of your fans commented, it's both a story and magical! Definitely a sense of the magical. I relate to the voice of the song... my vision is so wonky these days, when I am riding w/ Greg or Shanna (my red-heaired daughter) I have had a couple of screaming scares (terrifying my driver) thinking an odd play of light and shadow was another car we were about to hit full speed! So I can understand, mistaking a train for the moon. Only for me it would have been reversed: I would have screamed and duckedin terror from the moon! Gwyn Henry

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
CEDRICK Key G Open G tuning (GGDGBD)
He gave me 2 rings. Silver with turquoise insets. That was 1974. We were moving from Oregon to Texas in an old Dodge school bus. Towing the Chevy Van behind it. Unhitched the van when we stopped in Albuquerque…

Meet Me at the Club-- darker than its exterior. I love it. Barbara and Peggy sound great! What a lot of pain must have been wrapped in those sassy harmonies. This song has a Bopcat feel,. musically--- apples that fell from the same tree, and didn't roll too far from ea other. Your vocals especially good in this.

I remember Johnny Broke An Axel. Loved it then. Love it now. Nuno
Honk: Nice little rocking riff. Sleepy Head: Nice lullabye. Nuno
The 4 shorts Dying's Not Easy, Miss Her, Broccoli and Kite. Like snapshots from and old camera turned to music. Nuno
All in all, a very good album. The melodies and harmonies blending together with the moody acoustic ad electric guitar. A very visual album. Nuno
Nuno Santos Going through an album of old dusty snapshots...
How can something be so beautiful, yet so fleeting?
Sweet...
So mournful. Well done. The tides are tugging on the threads of my sleep..." great image.
Love is a bitch.
Been there! So sorry. We are so foolish.
Soooo sad.

WoW! Rock on! Great crisp guitar. You must come over some time and make one of my guitars sound like that.resting break...huge.
