Oh yesss... I did miss this one when you posted it... Found it now, though. Love it. I can't get my missus to sing. I was sure she had a few "Hey Hey"s in her... Anyways... this is fab. DADGAD and the mix of voices floating over it.
I started to listen to this the t'other day but ran out of Time... (see wot I did there? hehe) (Mrs R dragged me away to do something important). Glad I came back - nice one.
Sitting on a bar stool thinking about Jane
I wonder if she still remembers my name
It’s been a long time as you might guess
Last time I saw her it was quite a mess
She called me names and made it clear
She blew me a kiss in the rear view…

After Sebs football today I went up into the loft searching for an old guitar a friend gave me a few years back. When I lifted the lid of the case I saw that the tone switch was pulled off leaving bare wires. I couldn't remember if it worked or…
Going through my collection over the years...thinking I'll post some of those old tunes (pretty rough and ready....one take, recorded on garage band I believe). Why not...life is short! Thanks to anyone who listens :)
Its snowing so nothing can be done on the garden so why not go down the cellar and have a ponder...and of course get Edie the acoustic out and let her join in with the pondering...Thanks for listening

Music and vox by Gordon, lyrics by me:

But I can’t seem…
