Just musing about all the "can do" quotes I see on Facebook.

I’d believe in what you say and I’d believe in you
But I can’t play the fiddle no matter how many I try

PEGGY'S GONE Key of F
Peggy’s gone. After 29 years.
Three grown children. What am I doing here.
Why am I still alive? What am I supposed to do?
I ask myself. I’m asking you.
Peggy’s gone. She says it’s for good
I say, “That’s bad,” but…
Just strolling thru old JMT albums, stopped at DON'T... played PEGGY'S GONE... Gawd! My dear old friend... I'd forgotten! Such pain poured out... into such a beautiful song! It still makes me cry... I cry now. (JQM)
She had a beer and I drank water
Rectangle pizzas cut in quarters
But to me none of that mattered
She was the Woman At The Well
We ordered appetizers
Four bucks apiece it's Happy Hour
I couldn't take my eyes off her
I drove the car. She…
This Jack Hardy song is about one of Kerrvill's favorites. Gone now. Had a weekly song circle and spigetti feast at his apartment in New York for years. I nail his voice at a place or two. I also step a bit across the worshipful attitude line everyone had for him. He and I had an immediate connection. One night I was singing in some east Texas town and he was there, so, he got to hear my song before we lost him. Maybe the fact I was older than him allowed me a certain playfulness.
When it becomes apparent that the poor inheriting the earth means they become dirt when they die,

It's…
I kneel down on a calloused knee
Hold my children close to me
And I pray The Rich Man's Prayer
It's not one that Jesus spoke
That one turned into a joke
So I pray The Rich Man's Prayer
Not the prayer that Jesus said
Not, "This day our daily bread."
No, no, I pray The Rich Man's Prayer
God only answers The Rich Man's Prayer
I kneel down on a calloused knee
Hold my children close to me
And I pray The Rich Man's Prayer

KAWEAH (says the crow)

Redwood trees are standing still
The murmur of the river will invite you
Lay your head down on a rock
You'll forget about the clock
The whisper of the sun will…

Fun song. There seems to be at least 5 comments on Alonetone. Some from way back too. Smith Yes. I just saw that. Don't know why I didn't see them earlier...

I just listened to the title cut. All I can say is WOW. You have an exceptional way with words. The music was really nice too. Loved the banjo in the last verse.
