I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S GONE Key - G
She's been gone for three years now
Three years since she walked out
Friends and folks I work with
Ask me what it's all about
Tho I can't find an answer
As the days drag on and on
My heart is damn near…
I heard this one today and I think it's one of your more commercially viable songs, it sounds like a classic country song. This is another one I think you should consider playing more on a regular basis.

I think you wrote and produced it well, James. It’s got a beat for line dancing😊
If I may, I dedicate this song to a Republican Pres. Candidate.

James Michael Taylor played this last night at Hermann Sons to close out the night and left us all stunned. He told me he's never played this one in a jam before I told him...well it wasn't repeatable because we've all been missing a great song experience. Request it next time you see him.

I’m (Am) going back to California

WOW!! I love the rich musical textures and instrumentation in this song as well as the message. You create some of the most unusual songs I've heard to raise people's consciousness about the threats to our world, Jim.

So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.

A true story about getting screwed at the car dealership when I took my car as a trade-in
on a new car. It was a learning experience
that I never forgot.
The lyrics for this song were inscribed on the headstone when the legendary character Tom Thumb died. Inge did the vocals for this song and did a wonderful job. The harmonies, along with the a capella intro and coda, are hers, and take the song…

Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
This song is about the RPM Challenge; having 28 days (yes, I cheated, this year we get 29) to write and record a 10 song album. The illustrious Ghost Tea (http://soundcloud.com/ghosttea) added some rhymes to make it extra special!

Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

I like it! It has a catchy tune and a mysterious message. I'm curious as to how this song came to be.
