JUNK
This week's prompt is "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…
Cheaper to buy washed clothes at the thrifty store than to wash his clothes?
Surely they have caught on by the third or fourth time he trades his clothes?
Love the short, to the point, songs you write.
This is so soothing......your voice is like an angels....I'm thinking of listen to it tonight when I can't seem to turn my mind off....hope you don't mind.....thank you for sharing a little bit of yourself with me." Dorothy

THE TIDE POOLS OF CALIFORNIA
When you're born in California
There are things you take for granted
The sunshine and the desert and
The forests, and the bears and the beaches
In the tide pools of California
In the memories of one little…
The Brighter Candle
The brighter candle knows the truth
In golden glow of brightest sun
And knows there’s no eternal youth
The brighter candle
So many, walking, go nowhere
On bikes and skates with silver hair
It’s like a dream she once…

LOVE this. I first listened while finishing work earlier, back then I mainly noticed your signature lush backing vocals on the chorus (bit loud on this one maybe?). But when I listened again in comfort, able to concentrate... woah, gorgeous song.

I guess I forgot to hit 'post comment'. What I said was...WOW! I love this song! I love the hesitation after down for shelter/echoes of the pictures/where you are...I love the chordings and the harmonies. Seriously, I love this song!!
I don't think I've ever heard you with this tempo. Everything is right-on! Did you do all the parts as you usually do? If so, I didn't know you played electric lead like that & the organ so so well!! My ears thank you. Thanks.
The drum and keys track was on a CD sent to me and composed and performed by a friend, Don Landry. Instantly I wanted to put voices with it, so I did. Don likes it. Mission accomplished.

I BUY GUITARS
Em
One man might buy cigarettes and waste it all in smoke
Another marijuana and share a friendly toke
Am
Another, with more money, might invest in antique cars
Em
I buy guitars
A man might buy a baseball card
Keep it…

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.

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,

When the G days are short, and the C evening’s so D long
And the C wind is D shaking the G trees
When the cold snow crunches C beneath your D feet
And your C cheeks are D…
There are things I cannot do without x2
And if I ever run out of the things I cannot do without
I'll run to the nearest 'things I cannot do without' store
And I'll run in and I'll buy some x2
And if someday their running out
Of the things…

I’m laughing early this morning. James ...... you can write a song about anything.
Great memories. You really paint a picture.
I am SO tempted to follow the advice in this one ... but I'm meant to be working!! Lovely melody and chords.
Haunting song
Two thumbs up... I wanted to know more.
This is wonderful. I just love your storytelling!
I like this ...
Neil Young? Sounds great!
Similar memories just up the coast! Good tune!

Love what you did with this, man!
This is a gem! I’ve been a member of the 12 step Guitar Buyers Anonymous for years.
Oops... just ordered another one....
Mrs R loves this one too :)
Still love this one. Pity I can't favourite it twice...

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.

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.
