"There Are More Important Things in Life Than Living"
dedicated to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick
There are pleasures we shall never meet again
as we drop our lovers…
Give Me a Call
Did I say something wrong
Did I let you down
Do you think of me when no ones around
Because I think of you
And I think a lot
Of everything we had and what we’ve still got
You know you could call
Or I could too
But everything…
Give Me a Call
Did I say something wrong
Did I let you down
Do you think of me when no ones around
Because I think of you
And I think a lot
Of everything we had and what we’ve still got
You know you could call
Or I could too
But everything…
A little birthday uke ditty, bookended by two improvs
So this is year 61
Made it this far
Let’s have some fun
Keep looking forward don’t look back
Time has a way of keeping track
Of joy and pain
We all live for love
Sun or rain
This…

Yes I saw a chupacabra.

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…

Lyrics:
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?
Oh, where have you been, Charming Billy?
I…
Flinch
I'm guilty
I took the bait again
And here I am again
Always with the same stupid grin
And I didn't go as planned
Few things do I've learned
From the top I pulled it
but I didn't see how far you'd go
didn't I see you flinch…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…

I just decided to upload this one again, as a separate version. It's the same record, but i've re-equalized it and doubled the main guitar an octave up.
A different flavor of the same thing. I hope you like and/or enjoy.

Simply beautiful.
The guitar sounds great on this.
Mysterious psych piece, well done!
I like everything about this! Great colab!

Well done my man, glad you "discovered" it.
Hope you feel better, I sure do!
thanks folks, yes mmi I busted the high G on my 12 and need to get some work done on the gtr...
is this what they call post-psych-rock? Whatever it is it's great!
Nice transitions and enjoyed reading about your methods.
Really enjoying this playlist. Like a different musical reality going on here. The vocals are distant in the mix but that may be intentional.
Cool. Nicely done.
Love RB, and this is a nice musical reference.
Nice. Glad your back in action here.
Agree with Kirk. Nice ambient piano and use of space, between the notes.
nice raga-esque, eastern feel to this.
like and enjoy indeed!
nice one. Put in my "surrogate band" playlist!
Congrats, nice piece. Had me fooled on first listen, nice faux guitar tone!
a revival with a Lady Black Smith Mambazo ending!
