You can stay here Terry, no problem. (smile)
Love the tune but in today's world I think I'd be sleeping with one eye open if I let a perfect stranger spend the night. I've done it with people I kinda know and not all the time but most the time I got rip off or after a period time I could see I was being taken advantage of and when I'd tell them it's time to move on they'd get hostile. But I agree with the sentiment . I've been on both ends.
In memory of my Friend who was bigger than life, and an ego the size of Lake Superior.

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

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
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich
We buy the…
Just thinking about Happiness. Thinking about how she said she was leaving because she wanted to be happy.
HAPPY Key - C walking down...
Happy is the anvil as the hammer strikes the blade
A fleeting spark that fades as the memory is made…
Remember the waitress in the Blues Brothers saying,"Oh,we got both kinds of music. Country and western" This melody hearkens back to the day when we was raping and pillaging the land. Killing off the buffalo and the Indians and generally trying…
I met this Indian one night in Albuquerque.

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 "banjo-centric" arrangement of this old minstrel show tune. I recorded it for backing tracks for my live set. I kind of wanted a fiddle solo, but I don't play fiddle. So in the middle there's a little "fiddle synthesizer" - just a couple of…
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.

Terry, My kind of Folk song. I dont think people have any faith in the givernment to do anything right the first time.
Right on, Terry "The Bear" Brown! You tell them jackles in DC! I really dig the melody -- haunting and totally appropriate for the lyrics.
