this is just beautiful...lovely vocals...guitar solo in sundown mode...sweet indeed

I first heard this song yesterday when I was listening to you reading "I bury my dead", and I immediately loved it. I'm sure I would have loved it without hearing the story too, but it sure adds a lot of meaning and depths to it. Great work, James!

Hey, that's an unexpected style from you. Nice old-school (60s) feel.

You are a proof for my conviction that a good lyric is a requirement for a good song. All your lyrics are great IMO, and so are your songs.

interesting song,,,very nice story telling,, i think i'll need to listen a few more times

Great great James. I like the picture you took of him thru the window on FB.

Wonderful that you got to do this while he's still around to appreciate it!

This is really beautifully done.

Well, at least you know who you are, that's a lot more than some.

Great song James!

Love it James!

Dig it! Oh yeah.... LG

Beautiful song, Jim.

honesty and info rolled into a nice melodic thread. enjoyed very much. Telsa. thanks JMT!

Right on, I would say.

Good stuff, James!

It's great the way you remember so many of the details of your life. You so beautifully weave bits of memory into a story cloth. Every line holds my attention always waiting for your next thought. Thanks again for sharing your amazingly human and heartfelt stories.

I can relate to this. Good one Al

Song well done and voice good. Guitar and chords very nice. Not sure about the way words fit, or something, sounds too much like a commercial. Just a collection of facts.

love the stumbling drunk feel to the bass and drums great vocal

Like it.

Very cool. ...and thank you for your comment. Looks like we are both in the same business when it comes to war...

LIKE THIS.

Sounds like your version of Helter Skelter...

Real cause for the blues.

Sounds like someone is having fun. Reminds me of when I was a kid and Mom taught me to put wax paper over a comb.

Cool song...

I have a song in the movie THE VANISHING. That movie starred Jeff Bridges and Keefer Southerland. I did all the music in a movie called RED DESERT PENITENTIARY. A film maker in Austin is finishing a short movie with about nine of my songs in it. Another Dallas film makes used me as an actor in a film recently and used a piece of mine as the theme song for that actor. It all adds up...to....something. Except for the Vanishing and Dark Blood there is no money.

Oh, that! I was nominated for Best Texas Music when my music isn't about Texas at all. It's all silly. It's all about the young musicians in town. They have a big blow out at the awards shin dig and everybody has fun but nobody takes it seriously about who is really the best in town. That movie is called DARK BLOOD, finally to be finished by the director, George Sluizer. The movie was started in 1993 and production ceased when River Phoenix died of an overdose. Now it is being finished with narration filling in the unshot scenes. I suspect it will get a lot of attention because if it being River's last film and the circumstances.

Greg, I don't know about that contest. I DID get a song in an upcoming movie recently so that is a lot like winning a contest.

You songs are like slide shows... Little movies.

...sometimes the answer is "Yes", and sometimes, "No."

"...tin cup in a water pail..." Been there. Your song is full of very clear pictures. Like it.

Nice. I can hear the Beatles singing this.

Great energy. Great story.

I like it but I want to hear your words...

Very nice..."another place and another time..."

I second what Bethan said, "Sweet."

I understand. I have the same problem with a lot of old material.

Mix your voice so we can hear your lyric or include the lyric in the "about" section. I want to understand what you are saying.
