Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain

This is a fine recording as it is, clean and clear, well played and sung. I like it a lot. If Greg, Steve and I do a version of this, don't take down this one. Great job!

I really like how you sang this one. This is a particularly groovy number. It puts such a big smile on my face, and considering all I'm going through right now, I truly appreciate the smile -- thank you!
That's a fine job you did there wit' dat dare banjer! You vocals recorded particularly well in dis here number. Good tale, well told -- an all around great job!
My motto is INWARD THRU THE FOG. One day about a month ago, Laura 'Taylor' Whitfield told me I should, "write that song." Thinking back on a fog-bound night in California, I wrote it. Norman Pilcher, a friend from Texas, and I were headed north…

Lyrics:
Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
KAWEAH (says the crow)
"Kaweah, Kaweah"
There's a place on up the hill
Redwood trees are standing still
The murmur of the river will invite you
Lay your head down on a rock
You'll forget about the clock
The whisper of the sun will…
When you come to the end of the road
and all of the signs just say "No"
You never say, "Quit"
Cause that's not your bit
You're not a pup
You never give up...
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
If someone can do some Bodhran drum in the final mix it would add a lot. Rick's songs always had the beat and place for one in them. Great job Greg. Great lyrics Mr. Mann

Sweet dreams are made of these

Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you

EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this

We live upon a warming earth

Comments on terrysongs's stuff
Ha, I recognize that singer. Love this.
Its is for the most part true. I feel that having a garden probably gave my father a great sense of accomplishment 🧡
Good Stuff!
This is GREAT Terry!
Now That is Folk Music!
Terry -- good job!
Ah . . . Good Times!
I love this! I wish I had heard it before we put the other version up. I completely missed it until now.
'Tiz za seazun fer diz one! Happy holidays to you! Keep it real!
Gorgeous!
Sweet!
It peaks in places and buzzes my speaker at those points -- maybe bring down the volume by 3dbs -- but otherwise it's really cool.
Nice reverb and long hallway effect!
This is a fine recording as it is, clean and clear, well played and sung. I like it a lot. If Greg, Steve and I do a version of this, don't take down this one. Great job!

One of your better recordings, good music, powerful lyrics, sung well.
Ditto what Greg Connor said below me.
I really like how you sang this one. This is a particularly groovy number. It puts such a big smile on my face, and considering all I'm going through right now, I truly appreciate the smile -- thank you!
It's all about the dance, so keep dancing my friend. You have a gift for lyrics. This one says it all.
That's a fine job you did there wit' dat dare banjer! You vocals recorded particularly well in dis here number. Good tale, well told -- an all around great job!

Good to hear from you again Pete.
Ah yes the sweetness of those old California summer days.
