"All The Kings' horses and all The Kings' men
are destroying the planet once again."


First, we had acid rain.
Now we have acid winds.
What's next - acid water?
Time is running short...

Across North America and around the globe, climate change has a far-reaching impact on people, our economy, wildlife, and natural spaces that many species call home.

For example, warming temperatures are melting sea ice, glaciers, and caps in the Arctic and adversely affecting waters, forests, plants, and animals - not to mention people in these communities who rely on those resources.

As the mercury continues to rise, scientists predict that parts of the United States and Canada will experience more hazardous weather, such as prolonged DROUGHTS, HEAT WAVES & HEAVY RAINS.

Sweetest and dearest Mother Earth is being destroyed. It costs far less to reduce greenhouse gas emissions NOW than to adapt to climate change later.


Acid Winds

Mandarine vision
another decision
should I stay - should I leave
should I question - should I believe?
There’s just one thing that I know
acid winds they do blow.
I believe in what I see
and what I see is reality
the chains of freedom being sold
in the name of money - for the sake of gold.

Acid
acid
acid winds
acid winds
acid winds
acid winds.

Tangerine dreams
another scheme
should I laugh - should I cry
fade away or just lie?
The seeds of time are bearing fruit
there is no answer but the truth
for when all is said and done
chromosome panic - no more sun
the children will rise and conquer all
no more bricks left in the wall
left in the wall
left in the wall
left in the wall.

Acid
acid
acid winds
acid winds.

Serene schemes
another dream.
should I play deaf - should I play dumb
should I go or should I come?
All the Kings’ horses -  and all the Kings’ men
are destroying the planet once again
all the King’s horses - and all the Kings’ men
are destroying the planet once again.
There ain’t no President - there ain’t no Pope
gonna stop pollution from becoming a joke
Ships of Fools on plastic seas
save the planet - save the trees
save the trees
save the trees
save the trees.
Acid
acid
acid winds
acid winds
acid winds
acid winds
acid winds
acid winds.

Acid Winds

A Gallon at a Time
3-13-2015 John Delk

I was raised up in the whiskey
Like grandpaw and my dad
An the hills of kentucky
Is the only home I've ever had

          An I'd rather go to prison Lord
          Than to the bottom of a mine
          That's why I make my living 
          A gallon at a time

          An it's a gallon for the sheriff
          To keep me out of jail
          An it's a gallon for the doctor
          That keeps my baby well

          An it's a gallon for the groceries
          An the sugar that I need
          An a gallon for the banker
          Owns my 30 acre deed

I get water from the mountain
It makes the purest stuff around
An Grandpaw's old still
Ain't never let me down

       It's a gallon for the farmer
       To keep that corn alive
       An a gallon for the preacher
       Cause the good Lord does provide



A Gallon At A Time

I started this song and I thought it sounded right for Dan Blackard.  I added a little pedal steel to give it a little more country flavor.  It is a great pleasure to get to write this music with Dan Blackard.

Lyrics:  Unless I'm Guessing Wrong

Unless I'm guessing wrong
She walking out the door
She's getting in her car
She doesn't want to see me no more

And I could get up
In hope of changing her mind
Ask her to to please turn around
And not to leave me behind

Unless I'm guessing wrong
She wouldn't look my way
She'll turn and slowly back out
To let me know she has nothing to say

And all I'd do is watch her go
And I would try to stay strong
And I would pray that she'd come back
Unless I'm guessing wrong


Unless I'm guessing wrong
My nights will feel so cold
The days are gonna be so long
All alone with no one to hold

I tried make a happy life
Working hard to make everything good
I asked for her to be my wife
And she told me that she never could

Unless I'm guessing wrong
She has found
someone better than me
Someone else that she wants more
Someone else with whom she'd rather be

Unless I'm guessing wrong
This is when the world spins away
And all the stars start going dark
And all the colors all turn to gray

Unless I'm guessing wrong

Unless I'm Guessing Wrong (Featuring Dan Blackard)

A bit of an homage to my home in Northern California...and an excuse to play some harp...
Lyrics:
Going back to California
Lord, I miss my Golden State
Oh, I miss my little home there
About an hour north of the Golden Gate
Well, I can sit up on the ridge line
Underneath the Redwood trees
On a warm California morning
I can feel the ocean breeze
Oh, I'm homesick…
Going back to California
Lord, I miss my Golden State
Yea, watch the sunset from my back porch
Oh, I’m just sipping my blues away…

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

The Hillbilly Highway (Is Lost And Gone)

Original Lyrics by Tony Harris 2017 
Vocal & Music Production/Mix by Phillip Clarkson
Tribute to Merle Haggard R.I.P.

        HE PULLED US INTO HIS WORLD
	AND LET THE MUSIC UNFOLD
	HOOKED US FROM THE START
	IT WAS WAY DOWN IN HIS SOUL
	
	WHEN IT COMES TO COUNTRY
	YOUR IN IT OR YOU AIN'T
	HAGGARD WAS IN IT
	PLAYED FROM CAN TO CAN'T
	
CHORUS
	MERLE SANG ABOUT LIFE
	THE GOOD TIMES AND BAD
	HEART AKES AND STRIFE
	COULD MAKE UM' RHYMN..MAKE UM' SAD
	HAGGARD IS GONE
	YEA, THE HAG IS GONE
	HIS MUSIC LIVES ON
	YEA, HIS MUSIC LIVES ON
	
 	PEOPLE CAME FROM ALL AROUND
	TO HEAR THAT BAKERSFIELD SOUND
	MADE THAT TELECASTER TWANG
	WE LISTENED WHEN HE SANG
	
	MERLE TRAVELED FAR AND NEAR
	TO SING HIS COUNTRY SONGS 
	IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE HE'S GONE
	HIS MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON
	
	(REPEAT CHORUS 2 times)
	
	NO NEW SONGS ABOUT KERN RIVER
	HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN…NO, NEVER 
	
	© 2017 Lyrics by Tony Harris (BMI)

Seein' My Father in Me - Paul Overstreet (vocal cover)

A track from the album Time and Tide, available on Bandcamp
amandasanderson.bandcamp.com/album/time-and-tide

Lyrics, music, mixing, production: Verulium
https://verulium.bandcamp.com/releases
Vocals: Amanda Kim Sanderson

It started in Garstang
Heading out for the M55 it's a beautiful motorway
But in the wrong direction 

I first saw Jimi in 75
Stood on the cowling of a seaplane not alive
But more like a saviour

I sat by the lakeside
Checking up on the stove and the gear for a very long holiday
To where the spirit takes me

He landed like a star on Derwentwater
His face was drawn so I offered him a quarter
Of Kendal mint cake

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We're parked in a lay by
Filling up with some beans on toast and a very nice Chardonnay 
To mark the occasion

In a white silk shirt and skin tight pants
He can't sing a note and he's banned all instruments
You've got to respect it

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We pin our hopes upon
The comeback show of the chosen one
At the Woodstock of the north
In Deeply Vale with Sandie Shaw and The Doors 

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

But the times have changed
The stars have left?
We keep on chasing happiness none the less
One day we’ll find it

Please Be With Me - AcoustaTronic Version

Ged, my very good friend (please check out his cloud - http://soundcloud.com/gedhodge) always loved this song and one day, almost casually informed me, that he had recorded it. Of course I was excited - in fact over the moon - this was the first time a song of mine was recorded as a cover. And the fact that Ged and I got along so well on Soundcloud (we've become really close friends) it's been a double honour for me. He's a marvelous guitarist, and although he downplays it, a wonderful and sensitive singer as well. So here it is folks:  the first recorded cover of my song by Rustystringz! 

Book Of Songs - words & music: Pravinand Maharaj

I was singing 'bout the Lilly of the valley 
About the bright and morning star 
The sweet rose of Sharon 
and the rock of Gibraltar 
Then somewhere I lost that book of songs 
It's been a long time gone 
I wonder if I'll get it back 
and to whom it now belongs

When Miriam danced to the tambourine 
and David sang to Saul 
So pure is true creation 
it still rings through these walls 
Now I've been blessed and I've been cursed 
I have won and lost 
I always knew it starts and ends 
with the cradle and the cross

chorus 
And the world spins like a merry-go-round 
Some jump off, some jump on 
And there's still no one to sing it all 
All in the book of songs

Some things we do we live to regret 
Unsure what's right from wrong 
And the line between is so unclear 
until the deed is done 
For everyone there comes a time 
when everything must pass 
'Cos in the end our days are only 
dew upon the grass

Now I feel the Spirit stirring 
I hear my lady sing 
And though my heart is breaking 
There's joy in everything 
She's got those precious pages 
And I wish her all the best 
You can't take it with you when you leave this place 
We come and go as guests

This is the last upload on my cloud for the year, although I have a few collabs yet to finish. I will then take some time out, as quite a lot of things on my plate, among them moving house.
As always take good care out there, and let your love flow <3<3<3

Lyrics;
Got a bandage on my soul
It covers up a hole
And I think that I am getting better
Put some stitches in my heart
From when it once was torn apart
On the day I read dear John's letter
When I fell to pieces
Since then I've been putting them back together

You got the best of me
As anyone could see
Then you set my world up in flames

I've got scars deep down inside
From the cuts into my pride
It's such a low down dirty shame
I never learned to play this game
I should have paid attention
And I'm the only one I can blame

Got a bandage on my soul
It covers up a hole
So I think I must be getting better

Put some stitches in my heart
From when it once was torn apart
On the day I read dear John's letter
The day I fell all to pieces
But I'm putting all those pieces back together

Dear John's Letter

Jamie invited me to a track the other day....."What You Say". https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/what-you-say-tom-adams-jamie-rhind....
We drove that track home, but I enjoyed Jamie's backing with horns, I wanted to do a slightly more mellow track to accentuate some of the nuances of the backing track...not to mention the fact that he let me blow over the whole 5 minutes of the track with my guitar only.
So here is "What You Say Again"....with a ripping organ solo from Jamie to boot!!

Thanks for your time and support!!

What You Say Again.......Jamie Rhind/Tom Adams

Oh boy, another one gone. Charley Pride. a sharecropper's son from
Mississippi (I can relate).  I remember listening to Charley while
picking cotton during my childhood.  Charley was the first black man
to become a major star in country music.  He won nearly every major award available to country musicians.  Three grammys, best male vocals,Entertainer of the Year, Country Music Hall of Fame and wow,
at least 30 No. 1 hits.  I died a little with his passing.  Just a humble tribute.  Love you Charley
