Hey Terry, just came over to check you out. Sounding good. Hey those are almost the same comments I made when I first started listening to you, Like digging out an old record in the attic.SDo you got some new fans going that's excellent. I might put some tunes here that don't qquite fit the flatpickers. Sounds good , I'll be back gonna look around.
Thanks for the reviews, the songs in this group are very folk oriented some songs are from the thirties and some much older. I wrote my offerings with these styles in mind.
Intentional or not you sound like a 78 rpm record - it is like listening to folk song from the 30's - that is very cool. I like you composition and obviously the production.
In memory of my Friend who was bigger than life, and an ego the size of Lake Superior.

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 is the anvil as the hammer strikes the blade
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 "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.
