Yup a classic! Great job James

Yup! A classic. Great job James

JQ- What a great song! Classic JMT! He paints masterpieces in my mind with words! "The less I know the more the memories wither... Like leaves in Autumn falling from the trees." What a great line!

That's jolly little one! Always love your harmonies.

Wow. Just, wow...

I'm playing catch-up and, aww, this is wonderful. So sad but not mawkish or depressing (I have something a bit like it that I gave up trying to record a while back - this gives me hope, I might try mine again).

Yep, that's the way I was taught to milk a cow. Cute song!

This is really good.

Wow so lonely," Only you knew" great vocal right there. The guitar break pure George Harrison. Well hell I like it old stranger

A very different sort of song – interesting, sad lyrics, cool use of echo, nice, brief lead break. Painful but somehow sweet too. Good job of songwriting, but I hope you can get over Peggy – not meaning to get you started….

Well written and performed . . . but so sad.

Thanks for sharing the facts behind the song. I think you should include this information in the "about" section of the song page, above the lyrics. People need to know this is a true story. I'm glad you wrote it, it's a story that needed told, but it is sad.

I dig westerns, and I like this music and the way you strum and sang it. But the lyrics, the story told, is quite sad.

Love that echo...

Fantastic! I seriously enjoyed this -- Rock on! very psychedelic, very trippy, and super delicious. Good stuff indeed!

I love it. Love Aya, too.

I dig this! Rock on! Very interesting -- captivating!

What a moving, visually evocative memory of your youth, your mare, and an early love! Your storytelling and music never fail to draw me in, Jim.

Great sentimental song/story.

WONDERFUL.

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.
