Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain

Hey, Terry . I want Chutzpah too. Shel Silverstine was in a Chicago club ( near the famous Bunny Club) when I met him in the late 60's. Old School hats off to the poet.

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.

Not so much that anybody else would even notice
I shake, Just a little, I shake.

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…

very sad...
nothing like a good blues...
good point here...ahahaha
Great! I might start covering you.
Great lyrics! I love the title.
well, that was fun.
Terry this perfect for a uke tune for my sister to learn . May she use it ?
Love it
Delightful. Finally . . . Something to contemplate
Hello, Terry. Good one .
I like that banjo. A nice *"Feel Good"* song.
One of my (many!) favourite songs. Nice performance.
Good Story!
I love the front porch feel.

A slight departure from the usual Greg . nice easy groove though and wrap around sound.

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
