Mike, this is G-no from EZ, digging ur music. I joined flatpickers but I have some stuff that don't quite fit there .I came over to check Terry and signed on cuz I thought I had to to add a comment which I didn't but since I did I figure I'll load some stuff up. You be a jamming, sounds real good. I'll be checking you out
I'm finally happy with this track - v1 was too much of a nothing song and it's been bugging me all the way to the last night of the challenge.

I tell my students to keep things simple—couple o' chords, not to many notes, and just tell a good story. That's what makes a best songs. This fits that definition.
This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
Sweet, simple, folkadelic.

Oh we could sit or stand around
Look at the stars or at the clouds
Or better yet kick off our shoes and dance around
The sky was…
I was going to ask if you were from Texas, and then I glanced at the profile strip above the track list... right. This sounds like Tejas. Good stuff. (I never liked the look of Texas... but I do miss the sound of it!)

I often feel a certain sense of pride.
For our achievements are many and mighty

Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…
The Sailor gets a part time job in late-nite data entry-ing now that the offworld fishing industry is on the fritz...
how could I ever leave my poor little scuttlebug
so careless and free, she's my little scuttlebug
when the lights turning…
She hangs a little garden
so everyone can fit in her yard
when it's time to take tea
fills it up when they're walking about
they really knew how to twist and shout
and they're always going back that way again
rents a flat with his sister…

I love pure folk tunes like this. Nice work.
Old country the way it's supposed to be sung and played! I dig the hook... "ain't the only train you're on."
I dig the lyrics. Great mood to the song.

Hey, thanks for the kudos. Great tune. I love the pace and the lyrics.
Some folks get to feelin' lonely... but there's an alternative.
Eats meets Wets. Cool sound. Cigar box or mountain dulcimer?
I dig the syncopation and the drone, chant-like feel to this.
Great! I might start covering you.
Great lyrics! I love the title.
Haunting.
I really dig the banjo in the background.
I like the guitar work. Great tune.

Took me by surprise. Great!
Catchy! I really like the lyrics.
Ain't it the truth! Mean and raunchy! Great!
Yodeling! I love it. Your old-time, back porch sound it great!
Great to hear whistlin' in a tune!
