Six Feet Never Felt So Far. By Glenny G November 8th 2021
SIX FEET NEVER FELT SO FAR
I RIDE ALONE IN MY CAR
I LOOK TOWARDS A DISTANT STAR
WONDER IF THERE'S LIFE ON MARS
WENT TO FISH MY FAVORITE LAKE
WHEN THE GROUND BEGAN TO SHAKE
I'VE NEVER FELT A REAL EARTHQUAKE
AM I ASLEEP OR AM I AWAKE
I CAN'T DENY IT I SEE THE SIGNS
AS THE SUMMER FRUIT ROTS ON THE VINE
NOW THEY SAY THERE'S CLIMATE CHANGE
STORMS AND FIRES HAVE MANY NAMES
WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME
LIFE ON EARTH IS NOT THE SAME
THE WILDLIFE DISAPEARS
WE NEVER SHED A SINGLE TEAR
WE JUST BURN OUT ANOTHER YEAR
THEN LOOK OURSELVES IN THE MIRROR
BUT THERE'S A GOOD LIFE STILL AHEAD
I'M STILL BREATHING AND GODS NOT DEAD
GODS NOT DEAD NO GODS NOT DEAD 
SOLO/CHORUS
THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO DIFFERENT TRIBES
WE'RE CUT IN HALF AND THEN DIVIDE
ALL ALONG IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT
SIX FEET APART NO END IN SIGHT

THE PATHFINDER was one of the first tracks we produced as OESJ. In the very beginning in 2016 it was never released in this original version. We dug out the PATHFINDER again and reworked it. Here it is in the version from 2022.

The Girl - Beth Williams

Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocals, Music, Mix & Production by Glenny G's "One Man Band"
Words that inspired Glen are listed below. 

HE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN
DOWN IN THE DEEP SOUTH
LOVED FOUR/FOUR TIME
AND MAKIN' WORDS RHYME

HE TRIED HIS HAND AT SONGWRITIN'
SIGNED A FEW SONG CONTRACTS
HAD A FEW PLAYED ON THE RADIO
BUT THINGS WERE MOVIN' SLOW

HE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MUSIC CITY 
WHERE THE COST OF LIVIN' WAS HIGH
A CITY FULL OF SINGER/SONGWRITERS
WANTIN' TO BE COUNTRY STARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU LOVE MAKIN' WORDS RHYME
AND WRITIN' COUNTRY SONGS
MOST PEOPLE WOULD  AGREE
NASHVILLE'S THE PLACE TO BE
BUT, MAKIN' IT ON MUSIC ROW
CAN BE A HARD ROW TO HOE

DIDN'T TAKE HIM LONG TO FIND OUT
IF HE WANTED TO WRITE A HIT
HE HAD TO WORK OVERTIME
MAKIN' HIS WORDS RHYME

WELL, WORKING OVERTIME
DIDN'T HELP HIM VERY MUCH
CAUSE, NASHVILLE'S A TOUGH SALE
AND A HARD LADDER TO CLIMB

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Early Fall Wake Up © - Original Instrumental

Rather than follow the traditional path for this classic Christmas song we decided to change the words just a bit so the story is quicker paced than usual and told in the present tense. The message is eternal and unchanging and we hope our acoustic folk version will express it as well as any other version has for generations. Wishing everyone a very joyful Christmas 2022! 

We also did a music video with Nat & performing this song: https://youtu.be/Qwd9lq5Wkeo

Lyrics:  Noel (adapted from the traditional The First Noel)

On the first Noel 
Shepherds see a great star
That is guiding three wise men 
From countries afar.
And onto the earth 
Shines this glorious light
Over Bethlehem where the 
Newborn King lies

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Following the Holy light, 
To a stable they come
And there lies dear Jesus, 
God’s only son
Falling to their knees, 
With a gift they each bare 
Humbly looking upon the Lord’s 
Gift lying there

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Come farmers and statesmen, 
Come rich and come poor
Praise the gift of Christ Jesus, 
From our heavenly Lord.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel! 
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Noel

Getting old makes me reflect.  Seeing family and friends pass on.  Seeing older people of my generation living their lives sometimes without the physical or mental capacity to remember, feel, love, seemly lost.  It is sad but that IS part of life.  IT'S OK 

Die Before I Die

Something about Autumn-the crisp cooling weather-skies seems clearer--shedding leaves just before the cold winter--the crops have all been harvested-- for me, it seems a little  slower and more  peaceful--natural process of nature and life--my mind feel more at ease--my body feels more relax--my favorite time of year

Fall (Favorite Time Of Year)

A lot of challenges throughout your life and growing old.  A lot of good thing to look forward to, don't forget that!!

No Good Growing Old?

Written way back by Claude Putman Jr and made popular by Bobby Bare and Porter Wagoner in 1965 .  Some many artist have recorded it, including Elvis Presley and Tom Jones.  An old country standard that I really like and decided to do a few verses.

Cotton Pickin' Time in Dixie (Lyrics by Tony - Featuring Bob Warner) Original

One of the greats by Bob Dylan in 1962.   This song has been covered by Elvis, Eric Clapton, Waylon , Willie and Merle, John Mayer, Ed Sheenan ,Peter Paul and Mary,  and the list goes on.   Wow- this song has been with me a long time.  I can't do it justice but this is a simple version that I enjoy playing.

Don't Think Twice

Known as Mr Smooth, Jerry Wallace was nominated for male vocalist and song of the year in 1972 for How Times Flies.  Other songs include Shutters and Boards, Primrose Lane,Do You Know What It's Like to Be Lonely.  He was a Navy veteran and died in 2008. I had an old album I used to play all the time.  This was from that album . I changed the tempo somewhat.  I always loved the lyrics.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Lyrics by Tony Harris (listed below) - Featuring Riff Beach
Remix of vocals and music by Riff Beach December 2018 (c)

WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS

THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND

Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST

THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN

IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA. 
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD 
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR

(REPEAT CHORUS )

Rather Be Back Home Again ©
Riff Beach - Original (RiffWerx -2019)
Thinkin’ about some of the places that I’ve been
New York, Paris, Berlin, and Rome
Still, I’d rather be in your arms again
I just wanna’ be Back Home
Yet, here I am……out on my own
Sometimes, feeling mighty and strong
And other times, tired….and all alone
Yet, I just keep on sailing right along
(Chorus) 
Oh, Yeah, but here I am again…….
Though, you’re out-standing on your own
(Left) Thinking of how things might have been
(When) all I wanna’ be is Back Home
Seen the rising and setting of the Sun
I swam upon The Seven Seas
Held it together and came undone
You know this heart is hard to please
(Post-Chorus)
Oh, Yeah, but here I am again
Though, you’re out-standing on your own
Thinking of how things could have been
But, all I wanna’ be is Back Home

Sunny Beaches Abound

Vocal & Music by Chuck Aaron

WHEN YOU GROW UP IN THE COUNTRY	
COUNTRY'S IN YOUR BLOOD	
NO SIDEWALKS AND RED LIGHTS	
YOU DON'T GROW UP IN LUXURY	
	
WE WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY	
TO A SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH	
BACK AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY	
TO HEAR THE PREACHER PREACH	
	
WE GATHERED ON THE FRONT PORCH	
IN THE SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL	
LAUGHTED AND HAD A GREAT TIME	
SOME OF THE BEST TIMES OF ALL	
	
(CHORUS)	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU MIGHT STAND OUT IN A CROWD	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD…..........	
YEA, YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD	
	
AT HARVAST TIME IN THE FALL	
IT WAS ALL HANDS ON DECK	
WE HAD TO ANSWER THE CALL	
SOMETIMES A PAIN IN THE NECK	
	
THE COTTON FIELDS WERE WHITE	
AND THE ROWS WERE LONG	
WITH NO END IN SIGHT	
WE SURE DID SLEEP AT NIGHT	
	
GOOD TIMES AND GOOD MEMORIES	
AS MY MIND GOES BACK IN TIME	
I REMEMBER MY MAMA CALLIN'	
COME HOME...IT'S SUPPERTIME	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS 1 or 2 times)

Country Proud - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Chuck Aaron - Original

Retired musician .  Just writing a few simple songs about
life and growing old.  Song about my childhood on a
Louisiana delta farm.  Most songs were written and composed by me on my Boss  BR8 Digital Recording Studio.  Hope to complete my first CD soon.  I have a few cover songs also.
