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

addressing the dividing disparity. in earnings, this one is based roughly on "railroading on the great divide" I stopped a little short so others may add verses of their own.

Years ago, when I had just started writing songs, I read a novel by Terry Pratchett (Equal Rites) that inspired me to write a song which I imagined as a soundtrack for a scene from the book where Grandma Weatherwax was riding on a broom stick…
OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one

I'd occupy my wish

I must defy the rich

A fleeting spark that fades as the memory is made…

The decending line is about the coolest musical concept. Ear candy,and it can be Major or minor scale.Love my effects,but there's no substitution for plain old technique.

My arrangement of an American traditional tune with tons of variations on title, lyrics and tune. I went for a little delta feel with some light slide on the guitar, and harmonica along with the banjo... definitely strange but I think it works.

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.
