A prime representative of what a Main Street Blues is and should be about. Very powerful lyrics indeed. So moving, and the music penetrates the heart. Your vocals are so real -- one knows you mean what you're singing!
My dad, Danville Dan the Singing Hobo, use to say, "A hobo travels to work, a tramp travels but doesn't work, and a bum doesn't travel and doesn't work." Anyway, enjoyed the thought-provoking lyrics and melody. Keep on keeping on!
Like anyone who happens to look, I see the signs of a failing economy all over the Country. This song is a effort to encourage folks to struggle for a more open and equitable system for the financial benefit of all of us.
Hadn't listen to this song in awhile, and yep, I still love it. Your one of my favorite Political Folk songwriters ever. Thanks for telling it like it is. Rock on!
An original song written by Chris Green. April 22nd is Earth Day and this song celebrates our planet and Mother Nature. See website: www.chrisgreenproject.com

Always waiting, hopeful sorrow.
Featuring my spouse, Marily!!!!
I could have picked a song to do her justice, next time. My phrasing is kind of hard to follow...
"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.
Elvis got philosophising in the cellar again last night.........................so Louie and Reg got Bluesy with him and this is what turned out of the session.........

Well I asked the mirror if my dreams would come true…
Hanging out in the living room with one of my sons, just making stuff up. I wish I'd had the recorder closer to him - whistle too loud, guitar too soft.

a song done by many folk/country performers ,chokes me up every time. there are much better renditions of it out there in music land,buy those!. this I just wanted to add to my list of occupy songs. to drive home the point.
I hear you G. its a mean old world, It was a take off on the Jesus's paribal of the rich man and Lazerus. and "to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these".It mostly says give a Sh#t.about people
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…

Always thought provoking.
Sounds like you've been hanging out with Bob Dylan lately. "I feel like I missed a turn somewhere" I love your poetry Terry!
Nice & Easy
"A mighty long way from Wall Street to Heaven"
Ha ha! Rock on! The juice harp is a great add!
Solar Radiation and a new pair of boots. Good one Terry
This one makes you think.
Very Pretty Song. I like this one Terry/
That's some fancy banjo picking. Good toe tapper!
I love that jews harp
Your poetry rules!
Tell you what Terry....... Please keep these songs alive :)
You gotta love a song that holds the phrase: *"I got over lovin you, come out of it alive"* I really enjoyed this one Terry!
Another one of my favorite Terry "The Bear" Brown tunes -- it's so very real. Brings a tear to my eye. Love ya, man!

Ha ha! Rock on! "That train ain't the only thing you're on" -- what a line!
Old country the way it's supposed to be sung and played! I dig the hook... "ain't the only train you're on."

Note to the OWS naysayers ... The homeless have just been occupying a while longer than the rest of us.
beautiful Lisa
Them ole back pages, surely do cloud up our minds
Glad you came to alonetone, I love that guitar
Glad you made it on over Greg, I likes me some Greg Connor songs
Just a rockin' along, cool as a cucumber
A pretty, soft rock offering
Preach on brother Mike
I'm lost driftin' in green fields and lonesome for more
A hunk-a-hunk of burnin' thetworegs
you hear a far off voice, the back ground music to the cosmos
Makes want to find a puddle to stomp around in A high stepper to be sure
