A simple song in Open D.
It's a cold, and frosty night,
Stars are shining,
Shining bright.
A wintry breeze, through the trees,
Stoke the fire,
Beat the freeze,
It's a winter's tale.
Mull the wine, and cook the fare,
The larder…

A song about a few characters I remember growing up in Portsmouth, UK. Sadly they all had Mental health problems, but 50 plus years ago no one really cared.
I misread that as "tropical" ... I do need to get my eyes tested ... so I found it wasn't quite as cheery as I'd first imagined! Cool tune, and sentiments I share sometimes.
Is this autobiographical? I feel like I hardly know you 😆
Oh, I just got to the lead break. ..... very nice.
Another foot tapper. You just keep cranking them out. By the way, I used to live and drive Hwy 23 every day for years.
In the early 70s I lived near Haight Ashbury, played music and was deeply involved in that scene. Wrote this song a few years later about those days. Recorded in one take at Rosewood studios..not bragging on the one take, we booked a full day…
Boy oh Boy.... Have I ever missed playing live with these two wonderful guys!!!! Recorded last week in my front yard with Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren. An original tune I wrote from the times before the pandemic, but all the sweeter to be able…
When you C reach the Em point
When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror
And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G
You C feel it Em inside

A little dark......
I stand at the junction between life & death
As the count begins to rise
The darkened moon weeps but is blind to the grief
Of the ones left behind
We weep but we can not hide
Daytime nighttime the hunt for…
It is Sunday so i'm looking out for some promise ..........
Theres that promise out there in the air again

I was listening to Paul weller's new album Fat Pop and was quite impressed by one of the songs using a flute in amoungst the other instruments so i thought i'd give it a go and got in the flow ....Thanks for listening

beautiful lyrics and raw feeling - very nicely done.
Yes .... I like this!
Oooh yeah. Saw the notification for this yesterday, that's why I popped in, to check it out. This is a mighty fine "just a little ditty"
I stopped by for another listen after a ripping cold weekend. Happy New Year Roger!
Perfect song for the weather here! Snow is falling and your lovely lyrics are the perfect backdrop.
I love that twelve string sound. This song reminds me of cuddling up and watching the winter weather out the window. Beautiful.
sounds like a colorful bunch indeed!
cool shimmery chorus effect and really nice vocal harmonizing
Cool song. But, if you've been sat on it for a few months, she's probably forgotten you! OR.... yes! ...maybe she's sat on a similar song herself?
“Rain is Falling” let’s hope the Sun will peak out soon.
Melancholy indeed….

Second listen, lovely.

Beautiful song, great imagery. The view from your window is a LOT better than mine.
I love that 12 String. Excellent song.
Nice early J.J. Cale vibe going on.

Nice drive to the rhythm. Cool song. :)
Great guitar sound. You write great "throw-away songs."
