the clock on the wall is watching the window
the shades are at half mast for what i do
there are regrets just over that horizon
but i know i know i can count on you
i think of a time when i was unwilling
the dark days i counted with a mark on…
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…

i am thinking about words tonight
they can be hard as nails
they-can be as shapeless as water
they can break your heart
they can hang like a chain
hold you up for years
cause you to think twice
take away your fears
you are falling in love…

A love song....about this world of wonder that i am so fortunate to have found, or it found me.
yea we climb from the rubble
of confusion and some pain
we are the wonder of the world
and many streets we walked of bitter pills and rain
and we…

just a sliver of a moon
as i walk thru this town
yea it is trash night
and i am sacred bound
i am counting my steps

i am feeling your skin
some might say that i am a bird in the wind
i learned how to…

i had ice coffee in the morning
moved my finger along a map
felt the future rising through me

i saw the curtains changing color
i watched the sun room come alive
i have been sitting in this rocker
wondering when you might arrive
i am hoping for redemption
cant stand the way i feel
i know it is only passing through me
rivers flood…

i lay my head down on my pillow
outside i can see the evening sky
you are just over that Western horizon
and i dream that i can fly
the earth shakes '
my water breaks
we have given birth to something new
i see you standing hear before me

Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
Another song in the works that I have never been happy with. Now that Mr. Tolar has me feeding raw meat to the Ibanez, this is the result. So, it's either a rocker, or I'm off my rocker!

I'm almost totally happy with this song except it is for the mix. I would appreciate any comments on how to improve it. Is too bassy and the mix has a big blip in the beginning where it gets louder for a second. I know I can fix some of that with…
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
sunshines on waves of grain
purple mountains are turning grey
duck and cover, the theme of the day
as times collide in the USA
spacious skies pourin' rain
Mississippi she's floodin the plains
run for cover, it's comming your way
we…
Inspired by New Orleans
Lyrics
Left from Carolina headed for New Orleans
started west out to Tennessee

I heard the levys broke and let in the sea
Oh Mississippi flow

A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).

An old Stephen Foster song (Pub. Domain)
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...
great story. i am getting into your understated vocals. this is my favorite so far. reminds me a little of marcy playgrounds best stuff, a little more mellow but the same great sense of melodic timing
nice

quite nice
here is where the new york poem went. i will also repost. thanks for asking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMdcQxFdJW0
i can get you the other versions. for me most of the time it is a matter of whittling the recording down, finding the silence among the sound,
that you bethan,sister,glue,rebecca, it means a lot to know that you are listening.
could mix the percussion a little farther back
bass line is beautiful.
wow great voice. i will listen more.
you are back. i will listen more later. tim
very clever
great opening notes. so clear. direct or mic?
great bass line to build this around. i always find it fun to use audio from the time period
so......................how did you record this?
real nice feel. i read your bio. very much my style of writing as well. i like the harmonica. what are you doing for drums
i alway s like your loose fun style
