David Young We both loved it! Very beautiful!

Paul Smith Very cool

Listened and such a biographical song, really captured me. Rahim Quazi

Kat Angel Interesting song 🙂

Tony Desmuke I still think "In Dubious Battle" is one of the best songs that you wrote. If nothing else, the production was incredible. We still listen to it occasionally.

Tony Desmuke Definitely. One of your best.

There She Was definitely captures that longing that the imagination tries but fails to satisfy Lazarus

One night I was singing Wild Bill at Fort Worth Live and there was so much talking that I stopped in the middle. No one had any idea what I had just done. The silence just meant, "Clap now."

Gwyn Henry said, "How random, Jim! What precipitated this sharing??? Don't get me wrong, it is very funny. My reply, "This was about when Peggy, my fuck buddy for 29 years said no more for me. She was giving it to Doug. Not funny to me. So 15 years celebate."

I randomly chose an old album to pick a song from to post and it turned out to be songs one year after Peggy left. I was at my lowest, loneliest, most unconsolable. STRANGER was a song that also spoke to me about my dad having lost my mom. to Gwyn Henry

I also like These are the Only Times I Think of You... You are so prolific and so consistent in quality of work. Gwyn Henry

That pain is incredible and I understand it Alene Brandt

I love broccoli! In any form

Scott - Thanks for the link. I love how descripted they were i never have smelled the orange blossoms but i bet they are heavenly. Me -The first time it hit me, I was taking Kay Smart for a ride, top down just west of that bridge at Lemon cove. Nothing else like it. Scott - Enter Scott Scott Carson Ausburn I bet ; ) Nothing like smell to jog your memories. I usta be in love with this girl named Belinda that lived up the street from my Grandmothers. We would go bicycle riding often. Her front yard had plum trees that smelled heavenly when the were in bloom. Now every time i smell a plum tree bloom it takes me back to the good times i had with Belinda and wondering what ever happened to her. Me -So sweet. Peggy wore Sweet Honesty perfume. I’m sure if I met some girl with that I would be shaken.

I sang this song at a Sunday night songwriter contest at The Playground in Fort Worth. No cigar.

Gwyn Henry I go farther and farther into my appreciation of you songwriting skills... lyrics poetic... ex Broke Piano.. The line that got me this time was "The only things that moves my strings is when somebody breathes" I once interviewed a popular musician in Tulsa, John D.Levan, in the late 70s. When I asked him where he got his ideas for songs, he laughed and said, "Heck, you just turn your head, and thre's a song!" Your line is saying the same, only more intensely... it's the inclusion of "human breath". goes even deeper.

Gwyn Henry That one would be my fav of all I have seen! They are all great, but my fav... will never forget you underneath that (was it a piano bed?) So many metaphors played into that... and don't we all just want to revert to childhood at times and go hide under the bed, take a crayon, etc. jmt - You are broadening my vision of the video. Yes. Under the bed was always a place of mystery and imagined safety.

Bobby Huskins I like this a lot! Thanks for sharing.

Kat Angel Psychedelic sound. Felt like a brain massage.

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.
