I listened to Emilie's music on her MySpace site and was prompted to write this song.
Emilie
She's been there. She'll be there.
She's part of the landscape
At old Uncle Calvin's she's grandfathered in.
She'll be there when you need…
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
Sequoia Memories...Capo @ 5

Off the coast of California
Where the dolphins ride the waves
We stood and watched them from the cliffs above
Until the sunlight went away
Then we slept in ancient shadows
Underneath the redwood trees…

This song tells about a guy I know named Gene.
GENE
Gene had a girlfriend
The band would play and they would dance
She was tall and Gene was tall
A lovely late romance
They'd smile and hold each other
They'd sit and share a drink
Holding…

Something just broke and I think it's my heart
It wasn't an arrow. It wasn't a dart
It mighta been a meter that tore it apart
But, something just broke and I think it's my heart

We were shooting this movie one day when they needed a song for a dance scene. I said, "I wrote a song that might fit here." The director agreed and I ended up getting to write all the music for that movie, RED DESERT PENITENTIARY. directed by…

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.

I don't have too many old songs left to upload, so I'm digging into "B" side territory. This is an old song I wrote while at uni, lyrics are pretty naive, but so was i back then.
IMO John sounds like David Essex. :)

It's fun to buy a new toy once in a while. This is the first attempt at using my new Line 6 POD Guitar Effects.
Lyrics:
Here you come, my sweet baby
Don’t know why you drive me crazy
I’m crazy, in love with you
And it’s been a long long…
About someone (who may or may not be myself) who may have smoked a little too much of a particular herb in the past.
As I sit here alone
With my hand on the bong
And I light another match
And I pull another cone
I don’t know where I will…
About someone (who may or may not be myself) who may have smoked a little too much of a particular herb in the past.

With my hand on the bong

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...

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.
