I really liked this...especially if it's true. For some reason I'm a failure as a gardener. And where I live right now would be death to any chickens I let run in my yard on account of the raccoons. A very nice song.
just a little dirty blues, to cleans the pallet so to speak. "Most people would like to be delivered from temptation but would like it to keep in touch." --Robert Orben

The song is based on a free-form poem by Grant D. McLeman from Scotland that he had sent to me to put it to music.

Growing up in Ohio we used to see the signs the hoboes left on trees and mailboxes. Bits of ribbons and cloth-signifying friendly,and-cold hearted bastards who'd sic the dogs on you.
Had to really push the good wife sing this one. After a couple of years of serious health scares she had lost all confidence in herself. Glad I did my 'Phil Spector' trick on her. ( No gun involved !! )
Ok lets get some oldies out, this and the next two tracks was recorded on my old recording studio machine. Ah, the good old days,rose tinted glasses of course !!! Or is it just me ......

This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day.
Warning: the chorus can…

A remix of this tune by a guy who really knows how to mix tracks proper...Andy found a producer type guy that liked this song but thought the mix was really bad...so I sent him all the individual tracks and this is what he came up with I think…

I grew up with John Prine and Steve Goodman. It was fun to listen to your rendition of one of his classics.
Hi, Terry nice job on a great tune of John Prine"s Hope i can write like that some day> My friend said I;d better hurry (Smile)
Sounds like love is in the air.
Hi, Terry. I want to spread my kisses around. Vickie says this is a dangerous song, and doesnt pass the married guy test I like it
Nice song - easy listening man.
I like that: "Don't Save Your Kisses" Good advice
I think you have touched the melancholy side of things here. Very pretty.
Ohh thats a Nasty blues , My favorite kind
I like that harmonica!
Hi Terry , Your voice Sounds Strong to me. I am Feeling the season now. Thanks for the tune. Hint ( benedrile)
Thanks Greg My voice is rough with winter alergys but I suppose its passable.
4 inches of new snow last night, and a listen to your song this morning. It's starting to feel like Christmas.
WohaooAhoooo! Thats hot Terry I loved that, more of that Now!!!!Earthy and mean and sweet,Like Louzeeana cooking.....Steve
Less is More. It's amazing what can be accomplished with "No Name" guitar, old harmonica, and a playful frame of mind.
There is that Woody Guthrie sound again! Very nice Terry.
What a great update of one of my favorite Woody songs! Excellent stripped down presentation. Very authentic. Geo
Powerful lyrics, powerful song. You're channeling Woody! Geo "History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes" Mark Twain
this is excellent. i love the meaning and the passion.

Nice blues roll, deep in the spirit blues at it's best.
Steve Goodman was a great writer, you do a good job on it.
