“You commented on my song I KEEP MY RADIO ON. You also added, “I once had someone call me selling a security system. I told them “I don’t need it.” They will only come in here once.” Did you write that song?*” ............ No, I never wrote the song, but always thought I would begin the song with the sound of my 12 guage shotgun as I open the action.

Wow! That's a powerful song! Good lyrics too.

James, love this! Neil Young sound to it, and great, funny lyrics.

Morgan Lindley said - That is awesome. Next time you see me I'll be playing that song. I'm stoked you have a tab for it

Jon Hogan said - You are a master of your art. It's the auditory equivalent of a bracing Charley Russel, or a fine Rembrandt, or a poem by Keats or a short story by Hemingway; like these, you have become a master of your art.

Jon Hogan said - We were speachless after it was over, up to about the count of ten. We were staring at each other, such a mix of feelings.... then we both laughed out loud to keep from crying. Mindblowing is all I can really think to say, simply mindblowing.

Maria Moss said - Oh yeah. We stopped typing on our laptops and just listened. And then we both went "oh yeah!"

nice alt version although i still like the original version best

Go get-um Jim.

Bet u had fun doin this james..rockin like fuuuuuck!!!

Love this "Happy" too. Buddy was the greatest!

Pure poetry, sung! And I love the clarinet (?) with the strings. Beautiful sound!

You got me chuckling this morning. 40 seconds of truth.

Great melody, love the story and you perform it so well!

Unforgettable! Will become an earworm for some. Very disturbing, this scenario, but "same as it ever was." This country has been exploiting the land/resources/culture/heritage/peace of mind/environmental balance/spiritual elements of our native peoples since the very beginning. Began on the backs and bones of the indigenous, and developed economically on the backs and bones of the slaves. Yea, us. A city set on a hill!

Love this story! Awesome poetry

Great lyric, performed with emotion. Nice job!

Nice one James ! There's a lot going on, brilliant !

That is a good song that sticks in you mind , you feel it after you hear it

Like this. Lyrics, melody, effects, rhythm. Good job!

Owie! No beating around the bush here.

Great guitar sound. Nice mixture of keys and guitar. Nice when the low keys come in. I like the way you change the pace at points. Very the tempo. Echos of some of my favorite Chopin passages. Just a lovely winding trail. Close my eyes and just drift along. Wonderful combining of guitar and keys...I'm repeating myself. Great change/refresh at 5:30.

I really like this. Wish you would mix the voice up in the mix. Really engaging groove. Great blend of sounds.

Love it. Immaculate.

I hear this with a cool bass line and choir. Maybe I download it and show you what I mean.

Nice version of a great old song... Alex Harvey is regarded as the writer around here. Saw him at the Rubaiyat in Dallas back in 1975. More recently , at the Blue Bird in Nashville. He just came in unannounced with his buddies and sort of took over the place. Tanya Tucker was 13 when she recorded this song and it was what made her famous until she got too into her Elvis thing. Then Married Glen Campbell and that went real bad.

What a funky track. Love it. Really summons Hendrix... Oh, and while I'm here, what did you mean by, "Nice response to what Adelson is calling for," on FORESTS OF IRAN?

Sweet. "We'll go on and on..." Like that...

Reading your preface and then listening to this piece has me much more aware of my breathing. Slow and deep. Grateful for health.

Cool song and some very impressive moves.

Love the laughter. The funky rawness.

Listening again. This really touches something, with the obvious undertones of the dark side of the moon...

That sound was me clicking my finger nail on one of my guitar strings with added reverb.

...the dark side of Venus.

I'd like to see video with this...

This suggests to me that the universe is a big merry-go-round...

Regarding THE BOOK: You nailed it. Siddhartha, indeed.

Cool song.

Very cool meter and combination of sounds.

What a universal little scene. Well told. Every little boy has to deal with that uncertainty. Will she? Sad it never changes for so many of us.
