I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own.
As I said earlier, VERY PRETTY
most lovely ,,,, im not much of a singer myself, but if there are words that call to you why not give it a go,,, then we can all have 2 songs to fav...... the cadence of this is very nice and most comforting ,,, merry mid winter
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…

Some people measure things by inches and miles,
gallons and quarts and sometimes smiles, but I got a measure that I made up: I measure my orange juice by the "blub, blub, blub.".
Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
I've noticed the Yeti has a lot of midrange, so I've been adjusting eq for that, like GN said. It's actually perfect for this style, type of song, sounds like an old 78, without the cracks and pops.
~Through the night, and darkness, we rush forward to the tops of the universe. What for we're?~
The original version of this song was composed, written and mixed on board of the night train to Berlin, in 2004. Here is an updated version number…
This is a song about finding momentary escape from the pain of loss.. and having it interrupted by the realisation that it's the anniversary of the day it all started;
Some days I get up
and I go to the park
and I sit in the dark
and I think…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

yeah when I first hear CV's tune I thought some Howlin Wolf or Tom Waits would work well over it, I just don't have the voice for it. Your version takes more of a Dr. John vocal tonality, which I like!
@captgene: I just changed strings with the Elixir Resonator pack, which uses heavier gauge, but busted the G right off the bat, not impressed but pretty good tone on the remaining 5. Some sliders have told me they don't care for the tone of coated strings. I should prob. start a thread in the forum for this..
THE INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION - Capo @ 2 to sing
G C/G bass
She said, “I can see that you’re hurting,
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.
Soon I will be a grand…

One of my favourite Christmas carols beautifully played sir.
Dreamily. Singing, being intimate, should not destroy magic here. The main thing - do not overdo with it ;-)

Ah, a wintry treat!
I missed this one too! Suhweet bluesy gem.
Man- this is cool as all hell! Missed this one of yours
Very nice Kavin! I am really digging this one, it doesn't need a thing :)
this is so beautiful as it is, think anything else would detract chappy. just great as it is
Excellent. I like it as it is!
Really cool how the auto swell backs up the mic'd track so well.
Very nice man. I say run one with a vocal and one without. Let the listener decide. ;)
Well , I say its a great track on its own. If you do a vocal upload so we can a/b them I like iT!
Beautiful guitar track, Kavin. Maybe whisper-y vocals with heavy reverb or just a subtle accompanying guitar might add just enough.
P.S. I don't know about "ruin" with a vocal part, probably not "ruin" but it does hold up nicely as is......just my penn'orth. Jarvo
I did not know ol' Gustav had written this ...very nice arrangement... Jarvo
Very enjoyable song. I'm always a sucker for acoustic guitar!
Thanks Kirk. One channel is dry miked guitar with SM57, one channel thru the DL4, auto volume swell setting.
Very pretty
Gorgeous! How did you get that effect on the guitar? Sounds like a second guitar with the attack time slowed down. Nice!

Funny. The chipmunks go to Hawaii
Seamless. Mysterious and quirky. Great colabb.
4 blubs a day does a body good JMT!
Synthy goodness nice long track.
this has a Dixie Dregs vibe that I like.

please stop...nobody here likes this shite
thanks for checking out JD, that's a real oldie! But a personal fave I still play live everytime.
Very nice. I'd like to borrow your orchestra!
Simply great! Thanks for sharing.
delightfully idiosyncratic!
This is pure winter morning bliss, Doug. RPM on, bro!
dang your good. Playing guitar and flute at the same time! :)
@jarvis: to insert picture, in this case I pasted html embed code from photobucket in the about window.

Good one, JMT.
Just heard this over on the RPM site. Badass harp, slide gtr and song!
I don't know what these chants are or where from, but I'm loving it.
I just realized, at about the one minute mark, you can just hear my bud Charlie tinkling on a toy piano offstage.
