I SHAKE by James Michael Taylor
Ever since that night when you told me you were leaving me I shake, just a little, I shake.
Not so much that anybody else would even notice
I shake, Just a little, I shake.

MOTHER'S EYES
I used to chide my mother
She saw the loss in every face
The cemetery. The old folks home
along the way
I used to laugh at Mother
She saw the pain in every eye
Now time has passed
and Mom is gone and here am I
And…
"Somewhere between the stumbling and the falling..."
SOMEWHERE
G capo @ 2 - live @ 4
Somewhere between the summer and the winter
The leaves between the tree tops and the fall
Somewhere between my heart and circled letters
Somewhere…

I step out of the car
I don't know where we are
Somewhere between a planet
A planet and a star
I never dreamed I'd end up
in a place like this
The Multnomah Falls is up the Columbia Gorge
Somewhere between Portland…

Lyrics:

I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.
I read in the newspaper about an 82-yr-old woman in Houston who got arrested for growing seven marijuana plants in her back yard. The song almost wrote itself.

Years ago, when I had just started writing songs, I read a novel by Terry Pratchett (Equal Rites) that inspired me to write a song which I imagined as a soundtrack for a scene from the book where Grandma Weatherwax was riding on a broom stick…
Remember the waitress in the Blues Brothers saying,"Oh,we got both kinds of music. Country and western" This melody hearkens back to the day when we was raping and pillaging the land. Killing off the buffalo and the Indians and generally trying…

A song about conspiracy theorists. They bug me with their wingeing. "Wah wah wah, it's not fair" - well do something about it then, instead of claiming some kind of superiority and secret knowledge like we give a damn! Rant over, lol.
I really liked this...especially if it's true. For some reason I'm a failure as a gardener. And where I live right now would be death to any chickens I let run in my yard on account of the raccoons. A very nice song.

Beautiful.
Great guitar sound. Love the drive.
Sounds like someone the republicans would be running for president. Very pretty song.
Doctors are mean!
Maybe we need to OCCUPY the real estate lady.
My sentiments exactly.
That was fun! "...use it on her joints..."
The sound is very Townes Van Zandt... I was listening from the other when it first came on and I thot it WAS TVZ. Like an Irish TVZ.
Lu, Welcome to Alonetone.
Sweet gentle looking back without anger
Very "movie-ish." Yes. Glad you got it back.
Yep!

Very nice groove. Catches the feel of the open road...
