The owl and the Pussy cat
If I was a pussy cat
I’d sail of to sea
I’d try and find that place where I really want to be
I’d find a little island out there in the sea
I’d sit on my rock and watch…
A first venture into open G tuning ....... Poor old Reg has been let down by a lot friends in his time and now he's down to just a few fingers on one hand .........So he thought he'd write a song about it ... Gibson acoustic tuned to open G recorded…
Oh yes, like this - very inventive. On the Steel... Hehe... I've used G for years and years and years for slide playing... and it's only recently I discovered that G is the secret to this guitar part (that I've loved for even longer!). I think I watched some Earls Court footage a couple of years back and the penny dropped.
Another collab with Paul Chapman (Chaperzee) from the other side .....

I stand here in dismay…

Heaven Comes

Sometimes you have everything
Sometimes you have none
Sometimes you are separate
Sometimes you are one
In the midst of all your suffering
Sometimes Heaven Comes
Here's something for those bitter times
Here's something…
Toward You
-
With each new day I'll seek a way
To get as close as I may
Toward you
It's my destiny to set you free
Until then I can only see
Toward you
Throughout the night under the light
Of the moon I drive
Toward you
Through rain and snow…

A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill

for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
As if I was a tree,
And would stand in the woods,
Taking the rain and the snow.
As if I was a tree,
Standing in the field,
Looking at the eternal movement of the clouds.
As if I was,

Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

What beautiful melody . ....a great image is formed from you're lyrics....you must have looked like little lord fontalroy in you suit and shiny shoes I know I did when we went to the family occasions ....a beauty of a song....
Every cranky middle aged guy's theme song in a way. Nothing fancy, craptastic (tm) keyboard drums, a couple guitar tracks and some yelling and complaining.

Comments on thetworegs's stuff
Owl and pussycat. A perfect childhood memory. Love your vocals on this. It inspires me to go play my piano and do something good with it.
Just ticked the dial over to No. 11 .... that's better ..... Rockin' ...
Oh yes, like this - very inventive. On the Steel... Hehe... I've used G for years and years and years for slide playing... and it's only recently I discovered that G is the secret to this guitar part (that I've loved for even longer!). I think I watched some Earls Court footage a couple of years back and the penny dropped.
What a vocal! I was about to pause it and move on, thinking "fair enough, things to do, though..." and then the vocal kicked in. Woof!
Yeah. That's pretty cool.
Incredible lyrics and I really loved that keyboard sound... like a xylophone mixed in there. This should be in a movie soundtrack. Love it entirely!!!
WOW! I've missed quite a few songs over the last couple of weeks... got some catching up to do... I was wondering where to start, and a notification arrived for this... and it's just WOW! This is a stunner. It was an instant fave for me, and it didn't let up. Bravo.
My favorite tuning for the past couple years :)
I was doing a bit of pearl diving and found this from way back when
That’s really cool, my fav part was your forties . Oh and that chorus poetry
Love the lush feel of this with the strings and piano and the sexy timber of your vocals. Awesome lyrics as well. An instant fav.
That hit the spot ....
great lyrics on this one.
Yeah , Alex Harvey lives in all of us .... great track ....
Love a 12 string , reminds me of good ole Ronnie Lane , bless him, good stuff ....
tight 12 string sound very nice
Elvis LIVES!!!!!!!! Check your sideburns and jumpsuit at the door..... Sweet!
I have the same response to our fool of a leader too!
Boy that sounds warm and sultry! Love it. Great song too!!!
How are you friend?? I need to get on AT more often. dont know if its covid or what, but many great peeps and tunes of late. Makes me happy. I like the ambiance change at 1:20
