I found a CD with a lot of my old songs on it, many I have re - recorded and are on here. This one I had forgot about. The Good Wife does her bit on it.

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…

Cold Winter Moon

That fills my heart

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:
That remind-me song was playing
On the juke box in the bar
And on my way to work today
On the radio in the car
Reminds me how you wounded me
And it sure brings back the pain
But I can’t seem…

Love the chorus so much! The power of music may just do it indeed.
Great message! Let's see if we can live up to it.
Slide and harmonica … my kinda song! Nice lead break at the end of the song.
Apropos for the times we’re living in for sure! I can hear this like an anthem! Great song.
Good advice! Very relaxed and solid presentation.
Love this one Roger!!!!
Great message. We need more of this.
Good story! Ezyfolk was a long time ago.
I like it! Beautiful message.
I like it! It drifts along comfortably. This would make a great background on one of your videos.
This one's working for me :)
Beautiful imagery presented by your two voices. Very nice..
Reflective quality in a very stark light. “on my own” does that mean unsupervised?
Ah, the good ole days! I'm glad they're behind us.
very beautiful! I love the sentiment here.
Assuming it is hopeful! That's how I'm hearing/feeling it :)
Cool song. I like the imagery and the hopeful end to the verses.
My feet are tapping!
Ooooh ooooh oh Mama! Love it
Yeah, why not :)
