"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…

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?
Oh, where have you been, Charming Billy?

People are dying every day in the street
People are dying every day
People are dying every day in the street
Just for being people in the street
Peace, when's it coming, coming for the people in the street
Peace, you can sing it
Sing it for the…

very impressionistic, Igor! I caught a snippet of Breathe I think, but love this nonetheless. Added to my "PF surrogate band" playlist. Thanks

Also nearly unchanged from the demo version, although it still needs a bit of revision. Kept the title this time.

Sorry for killing the comments when I deleted…
in memory of ben keith
man of steel
heard your sound
as i roamed
in early days
of wonder
time was right
cast that spell
ever since
i've been under
bendin' notes
waves of air
all colors
of emotion
dark and light
deeply stirred…
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

You asked me where these rumors start.
"I don't know," I said and crossed my heart.
But I told you I did not hope to die.
You said you can't trust no more.
Why start now? You never did before.
Now I just have to pause and wonder…
This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You?

Yeah, I get the title joke. This is a wonderful album. Hope your doing well over there.
Great song, great tribute. BK was a big influence on my playing.
Love this, definitely has that sixties krautrock feel to it.
Great wordless melody folk-jazz thing going on here JMT. David Crosby could do no better.
Cool album, well done! Added this to my RPM11 faves playlist. Carry on.
thanks for all the great comments Cave!
Pretty cool stuff. Sadly I've overlooked your music for too long. Sorry.
