Wonderful Lyrics, and a *GREAT* message!
Right on Brother! Sometimes I wonder how we ever made it through our teens & 20's.
Now we are more or less respectable and still here. Go Figure!

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.
Bottle neckin' on the old 5 string. first attempt Standing on a corner with a cheap guitar...Got that empty feeling I don't know where you are...Wont you come back baby I really need my car.. I let you have my car keys ,gave you a…
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.
Every time I read a book and…

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…

This might be my favorite so far. Nice presentation Terry!
Yup, me too! I have seen that too Terry. A great song. Please pitch this tune.. This is an American truth... Faved and loved by this Yank!
:) great song
Key of G . . . I was playing right along with my trusty harmonica.
Good singing
Oh I can smell it Terry, good one
Yes . . . I can smell the campfire!
Alright!
Bygone days Terry, bygone days.....
I like these "Story Songs".
I just had to push the "PLAY" button again. That guitar sounds pretty good.
Wonderful Lyrics, and a *GREAT* message! Right on Brother! Sometimes I wonder how we ever made it through our teens & 20's. Now we are more or less respectable and still here. Go Figure!
Morning Terry, Great tune.I really liked the lyrics.I dont remember you playing guitar before.
Couldn't agree more - great song!
I like banjo and harp together. "its a wonder I am Still here at all" great lyrics.
Good lyrics my friend. Always the optimist.
Sweet one, Bear!
You just keep on kicking up a bunch of dust and let them !@#$* on Wall Street hear what's going down on Main Street! Love your Political Folk tunes -- you're the today's Woody!
A very powerful, albeit a painful message. song and performed with much heart. Blessings to you!
Nice one.

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
