I wrote this after I sang with a friend at his mother's funeral. He had always wondered why he looked nothing like his brothers... DOOR MAT Key - A A) My daddy treated Mama like a door mat D) Me and little brother didn't like that…

GONE - My sequester song... Chain wrapped around the dog park gate Weeds growing on the school yard lawn Where has everybody gone The chairs are stacked And the stage is dusty And my strings are getting rusty... (C) Royal T Music

I'm only writing on this last one, but I enjoyed every one of these new ones. Your harmonies are always interesting & spot on! Thanks for putting these out! I'm glad you are ok.

Short but very sweet. I love these short ones with the almost throw-away lyrics that are SO full of meaning to the listener.

Great imagery! Who would have thought a year ago that we would have a summer like this?

Mrs R has pointed out that she knows of at least two other Londons... and that it might not be obvious I mean London UK!

Like it. Love this: "stage is dusty / my strings are getting rusty". We had to look up corn hole, though, doesn't get played a lot in South London...

I agree with Guest (47.189.109.204) - "you're not done with this one" - I think there's another version, somewhere between the original and this one. It's a gorgeous song.

And a new verse! I listened to all three versions again - this is the one (which is probably a good thing, as it's the latest!!)

Guest (47.189.109.204) said Thursday I love that you don't hold back and anything goes. I never know what's going to jump out of that brain of yours! Love the arrangement, the harmonies and nature! Fun and short. I think I could have gone a little longer, but I'll just play it, awgain or put it on a loop if it will let me!! Write on!!! Thanks for the share!! Connie
