Lyrics by Tony Harris (that inspired Glen to work on this production)
Vocals, Music and mix by Glenny G's "One Man Band"
 
WHEN HE WAS TEN YEARS OLD
AND LISTENIN' TO HIS RADIO
HE GOT A BURNIN' IN HIS SOUL
HIS LOVE FOR MUSIC WOULD UNFOLD

HE STARTED LISTENIN' TO THE WORDS
NOT JUST THE MELODIES
NOT JUST THE VOCALS 
OR THE GREAT GUITARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU'VE GOT A BURNIN' IN YOUR SOUL
TO WRITE YOUR SELF A SONG
PUT PEN TO PAPER
IT MIGHT BE A KEEPER
IF YOU'VE GOT A BURNIN' IN YOUR SOUL

HE LOVED LISTENIN' TO CASH
HAGGARD, HANK AND PRINE  
IN THE MUSIC WORLD
THEM BOYS MADE A SPLASH

A STORYTELLER'S DREAM
IS THAT YOU LISTEN TO THE WORDS
AND FEEL WHAT HE FEELS
THAT'S WHY HE DOES WHAT HE DOES

(REPEAT CHORUS )

IF YOU'VE GOT A BURNIN' IN YOUR SOUL
TO WRITE A GOSPEL SONG
ASK GOD TO GIVE YOU THE WORDS
THAT WILL PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME

(REPEAT CHORUS - OPTIONAL)

Just a little song that I wrote awhile back.  I intended to rework but
never got around to it.  I kinda lost interest in it.  Oh well, seems I 
have a lot of these unfinished projects

Let It Roll  (Original)

Written by Carole King and recorded by Everly Brothers in 1962.  Reached # 6 on billboard.  What great music these guys created. So many hits that linger in my mind.  Just enjoying doing this one.

Lyrics:  The Tale of Grace O’Malley

Let me tell you the tale
Of Grace O’Malley
Crimson red hair 
And the courage she carried
A nobleman’s daughter
A life full of rules
But fate took her hands 
And gave her sailing shoes
A pirate queen,  deadly  and fair…
In Gaelic her name wasn’t Grace
It’s Grainne of Clare  

Oh Grainne, Grainne of Clare
Who could lead men to battle, lead with a valkyrie stare
And you’d never give in
Though your life was at stake
You’d show us what valour could mean
For you’d rather die freely
Than live on your knees

V2
In a time when a girl 
Had no worth but breeding
You broke all the rules
And pierced every ceiling
You made all your fortunes
Then saved all your sons
And paid the Queens’ ransom
Then called all to arms
For bonnie Ireland needed you so
And your heart would never let go.. could never let go….

Oh Grainne, Grainne of Clare
Who could lead men to battle, 
Lead them with a with a valkyrie stare
And you’d never give in
Though your life was at stake
You’d show us what valour could mean
For you’d rather die freely
Than live on your knees
Oh you’d rather die freely 
Than live on your knees…

So now you know the tale.. of Grace O’Malley
Just a girl with red hair .. who was worth more than marriage
Now look at your daughters..  and tell them you love them
And treat them like equals and never condemn them
They’re all so much more.. they’re  worth so much more…
Like Grainne of Clare.

Lyrics:

In a smoke filled room
Powder burns on your face
Tear drops wash away
All the pain of yesterday
Got to be a better way
To make it through today

Run, run , away

Recorded using Logic Pro..slate mic..Gibson Les Paul gold top…Warwick fretless bass..

Powderburn$

It's not often that an entire nation suddenly has its hands unshackled, its mouth ungagged and its cell door left ajar with an open invitation to leave the darkness and step into the light.

So, Syria, what's it to be?

Hmmm...?

Mother Syria

Hold my hand up to the sun to reach this smouldered rubble
Lift my eyes again with little patience left in trust
Assad years, father and son, each the devil’s double
Gassed and burned my cradle nation to blood-soaked mental dust

With his face alight the new guy’s mission, pure, sent from heaven
Promises truth, gold, light and god in his virgin presidential pledge
In the dead of night autocracy voted AK47
New boots crush freedom’s fingertips, as they’re clinging to the ledge

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
That cradled understanding of things earthly and divine?

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
Or should we prepare the palliatives for your sectarian decline?

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
On the path of sane humanity or on diabolos’ design?

Mother Syria will you renounce the suicide bomber’s blast?
Maybe seek out peace at last?

Mother Syria   ...   with Seagull and David Dunham

Probably the shortest song I've ever written!!
We have some very old cemeteries here in Killingworth CT that I like to visit every now and then. On one visit I found a very crude stone that was mostly buried in dirt and leaves. The slab was marked “E. Buell 1747 age 1 month ” or something similar. It was very crudely made from a piece of slate and the lettering was scratched in with a knife or a nail. I can only imagine the circumstances that it was made in, someone with little skill or resources just making what they could to mark the burial site of someone who never had a chance at life…

Faint breeze willow trees
Careful not to shatter me
Here below the  sod and leaves
Scratches on a stone
One day ill live again
And sing the song that might have been
Rest in silence until then
Just scratches on a stone…

Scratches on a Stone

This is more of a story than a song , the wise words of Tony Harris , I just did some music and sang the chorus .
It really works , we hope you think so too ! On the 1st of Feb' me and Charlotte have a belter of a song released , this is closely followed by a great Blues/Rocker by me and Dave Cooper , with the one and only Glenny G on lead guitar . Then a song by myself , and me and Charlotte are working on a beautiful ballad . I did say I'm slowing things down this year , so it'll be longer spaces between releases . Don't forget the album Hopes and Dreams by Charlie and the Fox

Fool From The Start

Lyrics by Tony Harris - Vocals, Music and Mix by Mike Fox

(CHORUS)
HE SENT HIS ONLY SON
TO WALK AMONG US
ON PLANET EARTH 
HIS NAME IS JESUS

HIS LOVE IS UNENDING
AND UNCHANGING
HIS LOVE IS UNLIMITED
AND UNCOMPLICATED

HE NEVER STOPS LOVING US
IS ALWAYS WITH US
OUR EVERLASTING FATHER
THAT HOLDS THE WORLD TOGETHER

HE IS THE GREAT HEALER
THE GREAT REDEEMER
WANTS US TO BE HOLY
AND PART OF HIS FAMILY

EVEN WHEN TEMPTED
HE LIVED A PERFECT LIFE
COULD NOT BE CORRUPTED
WHILE HERE ON EARTH

EVEN WHEN TEMPTED
HE LIVED A PERFECT LIFE
COULD NOT BE CORRUPTED
WHILE HERE ON EARTH

(CHORUS) Repeat 2 times
HE SENT HIS ONLY SON
TO WALK AMONG US
ON PLANET EARTH 
HIS NAME IS JESUS

THE UNFORTUNATE SON
                             
BEEN READING JOHN'S NEW BOOK				
SAW IT ON THE BOOK STORE SHELF				
DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK				
JUST A FEW OF THEM WERE LEFT				
BEING A CCR FAN				
WELL I GAVE IT A READ				
I LOVED THAT SIXTIES BAND				
GLAD THAT JOHN TOOK THE LEAD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
OH THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
OH ,YEA, THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
AFTER THE BAND BROKE UP				
HE DIDN'T PERFORM FOR AWHILE				
MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE				
CONVINCED HIM TO NOT GIVE UP				
THEN BEFORE TOO LONG				
HE WAS BACK ON TOP AGAIN				
WITH A STRING OF HITS				
FOREVER A BANSMAN				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
AWESOME GUITARIST				
HE PRACTICED EVERY DAY				
ONE OF THE BEST				
HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
BUT NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD

One More Dollar

Some songs just set a mood and feeling.  It was written in 1964 by 
Gordon Lightfoot and released in 1966.  It has been recorded by 
many artist to include Bob Dylan and Elvis.  I really like Jerry
Reed's version.

Early Morning Rain (Cover -Gordon Lightfoot)

Arranged and Performed by Josh McAlexander

Daddy Doesn't Pray anymore

Started with a few simple tracks - vocals, my Martin Acoustic, a little backing vocal, and some quiet harp texturing. Marc Elluse wrapped my tracks with his luscious guitar work and tweaked a mix that just blew my mind. I'm so very proud to be part of this project and cannot say enough about the creativity and skill Marc brought to make this a recognizable cover, but a totally unique one, as well. We didn't want a sub-par soundalike version of this Classic Rock masterpiece. MakaVox Sax (jazzy key synth) in the mix, as well. :D

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!
