DIRTY LAUNDRY Key C
I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk
Big black bags of something. I said, “What’s with these?”
He said, “It’s dirty laundry.” I said, “That’s crazy.”
So, he…
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.
Johnny broke an axle
Broke it like a pencil…
There was an album by a Los Angeles singer/songwriter named Judee Sill that came into KINK-FM back in 1971.

I close the curtains
To shut out the darkness
I shut the window
To keep out the cold

Memories long in music sleeping,
No more sleeping,
No more dumb:
Delicate phantoms softly creeping
Softly back from the old-world come.
Faintest odours around them straying,
Suddenly straying
In chambers dim;
Whispering silks in order…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Love song about strife in relationships....the song needs more work; gotta redo the vocals....nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. Here are the lyrics:
Beyond the horizon,
The sun burns bright…
A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.
LYRICS:
I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,

There are things I cannot do without x2
And if I ever run out of the things I cannot do without

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
i thought i had commented on this one...i understand helping people move. i know a friend like this and his laundry...funny
it's in the blood...what can i say!
i didn't know you had it in you to rock like that! enjoyed!!
;)
nice sing-a-long, James!!
I think there are a lot of us who are one step away from Russell’s situation.
...made me laugh, if only for your voice intro where I thought you were channeling Axl Rose. A nice rockin' ditty. Nuno
A little gem - Nuno
Death metal intro💀 -DP
Certainly does ....
that was fun!
Those must be some pretty crazy donut holes!!!! I wonder if the blueberry pancakes I just ate will have the same effect!?
Delightful!!!
Best music to start my morning ever!!!!! This totally makes me happy!!!! Thanks
This made me happy!
Great song, James Michael -Bruce
Oh yes. Like it. Short... but extremely wide.
Yep, I love it too.
Oooo this is gorgeous. Captures those "but the grass is greener..." and "everything will be better when X day arrives, you'll see" things that we all feel from time to time.
i have heard this one and i really enjoyed before...so this comes from a Jim Dwyer work?
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
Beautiful...
Sounds very old English. Like Bert Jentz or John Rhenborn. Like it. Very nice guitar sound.
I wanna see the video that goes with this.
Haunting. I wish your voice was louder so I could hear all your words.
Like it.
If I could play drums like this my rhythm tracks would be much better. Enjoy just sitting back and listening to the many tones and varied rhythms.
Great "attitude"!
Very pretty. Great mix.
Beautiful . I'd like to hear it mixed with the voice as clear as the guitar.
This sounds like a tribal gathering. Perfect background for a moonlit African night.
Very Beatle beginning...
Beautiful...very touching...sitting here playing along.
Cool. The child in the adult is for wonder.
Cool. The child in the adult is for wonder.
Love the treatment, It sounded like a didgeridoo at first. And thank you for listening to my song snd commenting.
Love it...
So evocative. We who are alone see pictures when we hear things like this...swirling sounds and longing gathered into the dark wet blanket of sand...
Very nice.
