"There Are More Important Things in Life Than Living"
dedicated to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick
There are pleasures we shall never meet again

You know you could call
Or I could too
But everything…

We all live for love

Hello Little One
Hello little one
Glad I ran into you
Are you some kinda freak
Or did you escape from a zoo?
Ears like a fox, look like a dog
About as much hair as you'd…

Lord Jestocost
She’s a cat and she’s a girl
But she’s not equal in this world
I am lord of all I see

First in a planned series of American traditional folk tunes presented as simple guitar instrumentals.
Here's the lyrics if you want to sing along:
Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?

Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die

Another one from the archives! Collab with glu from 2009 - I took his original guitar track and added vocals, then he remixed and made about four more versions, but this is my fave.
A little celestial inspiration for this song.... I started it and Greg and Mark helped me finish it and then record around my kitchen table. Feel free to howl if you like it!

More from the archives. This was the opening cut on Scartaglen's 1986 album "The Middle Path". A double jig, a slip jig, and 2 reels. I played bouzouki and Uilleann pipes on this cut
