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.
Wow..A herculean effort, this showcases your growth in arranging a song as well as any professional studio out there. Good song and amazing song crafting
Peggy taught me an Eagles song toward the end off our life together. I think it was NEW BOY IN TOWN. (I had no idea what she was telling me.) I took the chord progression from that song and wrote this. Peggy said that was cheating.

A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.
This is the title song from my first LP.

I SHAKE by James Michael Taylor
Ever since that night when you told me you were leaving me I shake, just a little, I shake.
Not so much that anybody else would even notice
I shake, Just a little, I shake.

SOMEWHERE
G capo @ 2 - live @ 4
Somewhere between the summer and the winter
The leaves between the tree tops and the fall
Somewhere between my heart and circled letters
Somewhere…
MOTHER'S EYES
I used to chide my mother
She saw the loss in every face
The cemetery. The old folks home
along the way
I used to laugh at Mother
She saw the pain in every eye
Now time has passed
and Mom is gone and here am I
And…
This was completely written by Andy...he wanted to enter this in a song writing contest for a Humane Society thing in England...the song had to be about a dog's poor life and death alone.....I think he did a great job all I added was the guitar…

I step out of the car
I don't know where we are

A planet and a star

i think my generation could learn a lot from yours about soul. =) thanks for playing.
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.
You RULE! I've always appreciated your gift with words and lyrics and the heart you put into your songs, especially your political tunes. Your songs drive the issues of today forward -- keep drivin'!
Has me singing along.
Really has that Woody feeling.

I built up an appetite listening to "My Little Garden". I like this Folk Music Style a lot. Nice one Terry! Keep them coming.

A slight departure from the usual Greg . nice easy groove though and wrap around sound.
Wow..A herculean effort, this showcases your growth in arranging a song as well as any professional studio out there. Good song and amazing song crafting
Wowzer! nifty sound Greg, that baby really gives a professional sound to the work.
Great lyric,And that guitar is sounding real good. Good song.
You never sounded like a So-and-so to me
It's good to hear your voice again Mike.
Yep, thats the way of it.
Smile...it's allot of fun Robert,
Hey Peter glad you got something up here on alonetone.
Slick intro. It still holds up as a motivation song.
Beautiful Greg Connor song,It's good here a new one.
Tremors and trepidations ,could be glad to be shed of you, or of going out ahead of you Kind of a friendly sounding ditty.
A comfortable sound ,well done
neat look at the human condition.
crisp and sweet intro.getting old is hell
Good poem, and good reminder that we have been given much
there seems to be a little lighter lift in the new songs since the guitar found it's way back to you.
Now we reach that wanderlust that temporary resident soul, that hides in all of us travelers.
make me shiver just to think about it.
You are Still one of the true originals ,and your sound is smoothing out nicely
