Although this song was written by me about one of my most loved places in the world, I heard Nat sing it when we were figuring out how to present it, and I just had to have her stick with the lead vocals as she sings it so beautifully, even though she has never set foot in the great Mountain State (now she wants to!). So we just changed "she" to "he" and it all fell into place. It tells the story of someone who has watched a lover leave and seeks solace in the Wonderful and Wild of West Virginia. The state became a bit of a passion for me since I first visited our friends in Keyser when I was still a boy. And it still represents a place of reflection and spirit to me. A place where one can find themselves and answer the deeper questions perhaps. And that's what happens in this song. It celebrates the wonders of this beautiful place even while it describes the complicated challenges of this world. This is dedicated to the entire Campbell family, without whom I'd not know the beauty I've tried to capture in this simple song. I especially want to recognize Margaret & Richard as the head of that Campbell clan, bless them both in heaven. As long as there are mountains and rivers in West Virginia, their memory will live large.

Lyrics;
Hey, West Virginia, I’m crossing your state line
It’s me again, hello old friend, it’s been a long, long time
Four windows open, to feel your mountain air
To breathe you in, rememberin’, the child in me out there
You see I need your wisdom, your reassuring smile
I just want to listen, to the wonderful and wild
I know he’s leaving, I just came to tell you so
These backroads lead me back to me
To watch your Greenbrier flow
Yeah, he’s moving on now, you knew long ago
It’s what I do, so much like you, 
They come, they love, they go
You see I need your wisdom, your reassuring smile
I just want to listen, to the wonderful and wild
He loved my stories, and sunshine, wind and rain 
But like before, he’s found the door, and here I am again
Hey West Virginia, the tall grass crickets call 
The stars appear, much closer here
You catch ‘em when they fall
You always catch me when, I fall
You always catch me when,
You always catch me when, I fall

Back To West Virginia

This terrific song is the work of our friend Steve Low who granted us permission to attempt a cover. As much as we love Steve's original, we saw no point in trying to do it the same as he so wonderfully did, so we thought it would be fun to go country, perhaps a bit bluegrass and we're very excited to share it here. The song has some terrific lyrics that describe the longing one experiences when the one they love is gone. We thank Steve for allowing us the privilege and we also are pleased to again feature the amazing banjo work of Hamilton Belk.

Lyrics (by Steve Low):
You yes you’re living in a cage
You’re bouncing off the bars
But it’s my ribs and tissue that’s inflammed
Yes it’s I who’s watching for your car
My roots are deep here in the west
Invested here I have to stay
But you got gypsy in your blood
Your fiddles playing the sounds of Spain
And so I’m watching yes I’m watching
All the headlights - all the headlights
Oh I’m watching yes I’m watching 
All the headlights - all the headlights
Coming up over the hill - hoping that one of them is you

Though you’ve had a travelling circus life
You been courting stability
And I’ve been prostrate at your feet
I been licking your toes to sleep
And though you bathe in pleasures warm
I sense our wine is running dry
I know as you commute each morn
You’re not the type to say goodbye
And so I’m watching . . . you

This evening’s sky is coal dust cloud
You’re late and I’m a clairvoyant
This house empty of all sound 
This house is empty
This house is empty

Take The Long Way Home  © - Gene Jumper-Riff Beach Blues

Written by Paul McCartney and released near the end of the band’s existence on the Let It Be album in 1970, something made Craig try it out for our own style. It was a live home recording and we liked it. Nat then took it and added her magic harmonies and piano to pretty it up so nicely. Made it a very much more straight forward country folk sound with the accent on the lovely lyrics.

From Durge and Myself...  THANK YOU for listening to our Songs, and sharing our Truths!  Have a Safe, and Blessed New Year!!  

Seafaring Wanderer 
Produced, Written & Performed by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy

Starlight star bright 
I wished upon a city light
That the Western Winds will lead me to you
Like a long desert road with no detours or turns one can miss…
Ending in arms wide open
That greets me for certain.. with a kiss.

Oh that sun sets low 
And time waits suspended,
Mesmerising me, like the warmth of your smile
And though I’ve seen it all, the seafaring wanderer
Has found nothing new …
All this time I was searching for meaning
I found it in you.


Starlight star bright 
The bourbon made this night all right..
But the city streets, holds empty and cold
Every neon sign flickers a heart beat the beckons 
“Come on home”..
Every newspaper flutter, is like Angels that Mutter.. 
“Call his phone..” 

Oh this road I’m on has one destination,
Every star I choose just leads me to you…
Yes I’ve seen it all, like a seafaring wanderer
But one thing held true!
All this time I was searching for meaning 
I found it in you..

Seafaring Wanderer

Nowhere To Run {Original}

You Could Never Take Away

Nat came up with this lovely piano track and we let it sit for a while before I finally gave it a try with some words and my take on a melody to start it off. Nat then wrote her half of the lyrics and we harvested this somewhat ultimate ode to love between two soul mates. It accents the journey through failures and disappointment to finally connect with the lasting fulfillment. The happy comfort of finally reaching home.
Lyrics
You Are My Home by Craig Durgy & Nat Daniels 

I….. was lost till I found you
With the light all around you, that made us connect

 I……..was drawn ever nearer
Like a child to a mirror to truly reflect

You….conquered the blue and the dark
I….let you through to my heart

Now, I will be yours always
I will be yours always, to the end of days…..

Eyes that calm, my heart within your palm
Sweet, hold me complete, you are my home
I’ve found my home
Dar-ling you, passion so deep and true
All that I hold on to, you are my home

All my Life, I felt so unaligned, 
Outta step …outta time, ‘till you came along
 
Now each breath, is light from the day we met,
The comfort of you has left, me a prisoner of Love

There, is no one but you for me.
Nights I searched, would always lead you to me.. And I..  to you.

Darling you.. complete me in every room
That’s found in my solitude … a heart not alone
For you are my home… Oh you ARE my home.

You Are My Home

luriich feat. Annett - Not Lonely When Alone  (3.Zero)

This is an original love song that recalls such a vivid passion that he temps fate by dare asking if all these years later it could be reignited. Despite all odds, he ponders the seemingly impossible.

Lyrics:    Like We Could by Craig Durgy

I’m sure we can’t recall, the name of that motel
Where we parked our cars and hugged so hard we, 
Nearly fell
Like first time teenage fool-arounds we, 
Unlocked that door
And our summer duds went flying to the floor

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if we really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

The sun just melted all our cares, that distant day
But the bluegrass bands, like sonic fans just, 
Blew the sweat away
And I held you by your cut-off jeans like, 
Somewhere deep I knew
That loving you was too good to be true

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if you really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

Like We Could

An evil eye,
taking you down from inside,
and a chance to find.
All promises pitch up and die.

The darkest days,
provide us an easy escape.
But, pain is safe,
it's better to stay in one place.

Save me if you must insist that I'm crazy.
Hesitating, im too lazy. 
to dig myself out of this hole.
Oh, show me a way through the doldrums,
then hold me, never again, to be lonely.
A spark still remains in my bones. 

As age increased, 
pictured in dramatic releif.
A statue that weeps,
with a wink and a turn of the cheek.

You carried on. 
In spite all the chords you got wrong.
For one final song.
No one is here for too long.

The main line.
The way through the forest at night time.
The secret that lasts a whole lifetime.
No darkness encroaching upon.
Let go of me.
Because everything can be just rosy.
The doldrums can be warm and cosy.
When you learn to be on your own. 

Alcohol. 
A saccharine plaster that falls,
off all too soon.
A madman that howls at the moon.
A beaten soul,
A pocket of nonsense to hold.
Like a shining stone,
All pathways that lead your to home.

Depression 
Perhaps this can be a good lesson,
to not notice what you've been missing,
to separate mind from the soul. 
You'll never get,
without at least getting your feet wet.
At least you're not quite bloody there yet.
You don't even know what is wrong.

My mind crashed on a tumbling wave
While walking along some familiar shore
Little moments that we crave
Yet, we’re still left wanting more
(Chorus)
Come sit next to me by the fire
Let us shimmer in the light
As those flames keep dancing higher
Love’s burning in our hearts tonight
Some say nothing lasts forever
One day we’ll remember when
Making memories together
While we share the love within
As the cool sand soothes our souls
Let us never lose this desire
We both know what the future holds
When our hearts are set on fire
So, say goodnight to the sun
As the fire casts its amber glow
When the world just feels numb
I know a special place where we can go

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.

Crying In The Rain  (Cover of Everly Brothers)

It’s difficult for people to escape doubt. No matter how good things may seem at any point in our lives, there are always moments of concern, of counter-thought and worry that lurk in the shadows of our imagination. Few things are without blemish and most of us can be unforgiving in the presence of imperfection. Thus, the shadows and the darkness that seeks to stifle the light.

Shadows of Doubt by Daniels & Durgy

Love can come, through the wind and rain
But too much sun, burns it all away
What I thought was fun,
What I thought would stay
Is up and gone like a Christmas Day

You appeared and your lips were true
Through the fear, I was lost in you
It was all so clear, but the moments flew
Then it slipped away with the slightest clue

But I still want you, but do I dream
Is my judgment, too extreme
Am I searching for an excuse
Could I ever, really cut you loose

As love grows, time reveals
Everything it knows, coming off its wheels
Dealing blows, does it blow the deal
Does it show what my heart should feel

Just a couple words, did I read ‘em wrong
Cause the way I heard, hit me pretty strong
The doubt occurred, like a half-wrote song
Throw it all away and just move along.  

But I still want you, but do I dream
Is my judgment, too extreme
Am I searching for an excuse
Could I ever really cut you loose
No, I just can’t let you loose.

Shadows Of Doubt

I wrote this one just before July 4th, 2016 as I was troubled by how patriotism seems to be fading these days. Frequently equated with nationalism, or expansionism and other more aggressive, negative concepts relative to the global community. Pride and values for our traditional ideals and foundations have been well battered. It's often an unpopular and uneasy position for a person to show true love for America. So this song attempts to declare it indeed very cool and very important to hold onto the basic and good principles that make America uniquely wonderful. Right on!

Remixed and produced with many thanks to Nat Daniels to help improve my rough original track.

Lyrics
Right On by Craig Durgy

I passed somebody on the street today, he said how are ya and I said OK
I never saw the guy before or since but he’s my brother, we’re Americans
Right On, we are Americans, Right On

But lately we’ve been getting pulled apart, 
Testing our constitution and our heart
Some people make and others take too much 
And now we’re hunted down, we’ve had enough
Right On, it’s time that we get tough, Right On

Right On, sea to shining sea, Right On, trying to keep it free
Right On, brother you and me, let’s pull together
Right On, when we fought for days, on Iwo Jima till our flag was raised
Right On, when only God was praised, Right On

These days I guess our country ain’t so cool, all our customs are like fossil fuel
So many people that don’t give a damn,
For Old Glory and our Uncle Sam
Right On, for our Uncle Sam, Right On

Right On, freedom must be won, Right On, we can’t turn and run
Right On, till the fight is gone, we must stay together
Right On, say the words out loud I pledge allegiance and I pledge it proud
Right On, just like my grandpa vowed, Right On

Although the world wants everything we’ve got, 
They pile upon us till we start to rot
But we can’t forget that we’re still free 
Or those white crosses left in Normandy
Right On, way back in Normandy, Right On

Right On, for the farmer’s hand, Right On, for our firemen
Right On, if you understand God and country
Right On, for our men in blue and for Thanksgiving and Park Avenue
Right On, bleed red, white and true, Right On

Right On, may our flag yet wave, 
Right On, for all our veterans and soldiers brave
Right On, for every life we gave, Right On
Right On, say the words out loud I pledge allegiance and I pledge it proud
Right On, just like my grandpa vowed, Right On
Right On, love it then and now, Right On

Right On

Didn’t want to fall in love with you
Though my heart is big enough for two, but blue
Thought I’d spend a 
little time with you
Surely that’s what friends like to do, Whoa no
Never thought that I’d feel like I do
Never wanted to
Time by your side mean’s that I just can’t hide
These feelings I have for you
Hear my words so you may understand
My heart’s stopped bleeding from the pain of her
Now the ache inside is all for you
Need to know you feel like I do, oh no
Now you tell me your feeling unsure
Hurting beat black and blue
I don’t know why Girl but I wish you’d try
See my intentions are true
So Girl take your time, make up your mind
I can wait for you
For I know that in time, you must find
All that your sweet heart dreams of
Oh my Love

Original Tribute song to Jerry Lee Lewis 2015...many thanks to Riff for his work on this track.

Memphis Left Him Behind (Lyrics by Tony - Featuring Riff Beach) Jerry Lee Lewis Tribute

When my best friend moved back to West Virginia when I was still in elementary school, I knew I had to go visit the Mountain State that I had heard so much about. After several summer visits with my family I quickly found a sort of second home away from Connecticut where I've lived my entire life. The images of the town of Keyser, the people, the vast woodlands and easy going way of life really hit me and has never left. Since those early days I've returned with my own kids and they too got an idea of how I felt about "The Friendliest Town In The USA" as the sign plainly states as you drive into town on Route 220. This song is dedicated to Margaret and Richard Campbell, my friend's parents who are no longer with us, but have made a lasting impression of kindness, family values, tough love, backwoods wisdom and southern hospitality.

Update (2023): Many thanks to my esteemed music partner and friend, Nat Daniels, for re-mastering and producing the updated track for this song.

Lyrics:  
Keyser West Virginia by Craig Durgy

If you’re out some Sunday and you check your map
Headin’ south through Maryland and the Cumberland Gap
On Route 220 where the valley comes to view

You can smell that paper mill, miles away
As the road descends into the Mountain State
Past a parkin’ lot full of cars at the Chat n’ Chew

When you cross that bridge where the North Branch flows
And you see that sign that everyone knows
There ain’t no doubt it’s Keyser, and it’s true

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A. 

You can ride on down along New Creek Drive
Or take a golf cart ride at the Polish Pines
And on Green Mountain someone’s huntin’ for deer 

On Friday nights in the early fall
The Golden Tornado gonna move that ball
On Saturday they say how 'bout them 'eers!

Green tomatoes in a frying pan
String beans, bacon and chicken, man!
Or try some Stray Cat wings with a couple of beers. 

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A. 

Here in West Virginia, Lord you know I love this mountain state
Allegheny air gets in ya, 
And man those pines at Dolly Sods look great 

Some folks work at the ABL
West Vaco also pays pretty well
And Pot State College has lots to offer too

You can be a local or from out of town
Maybe up from Dallas or from Boston down
You'll get a wave from a lotta folks that ya never knew

And if you get the urge and the highway calls
Take a day trip down to Blackwater Falls
It’s West-By-God-Virginia, through and through!

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A.

Keyser West Virginia

An easy going country tune that tells the story of a guy whose girlfriend breaks things off because she has doubts about being confined in their relationship. He walks away but never gives up hope that she would want him back, and well...I don't want to give away the ending.
Many thanks to Nat Daniels (Gentle Rain Records) for her considerable production work that greatly improved the final track from my original recording.

Lyrics:The Last Time by Craig Durgy

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Breaking up, moving out
Gentle touch, no need to shout
We can see, what it's about
You need to be, free of all doubt 

Waking up, laying still, found the channel changer, lost my will
Writing letters, to myself, trying to gather, my mental health

I walk door-ward…you look forward

Board the last train, for the last time, 
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Holding on, laying low
Winter gone, and I’m praying for snow
Crossed the train tracks, 1 A-M
Brings my thoughts back, to you again

Now and then I'd, make the trip, down your street I'd, quietly slip
Looking up, window light, who was in your, arms tonight?

Afraid of knocking…keep on walking. 

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

But sometimes when you, keep hope alive
Something happens, making it right
Ringing phone, your voice I hear
Saying please come home and,
Wipe away my tears

I'm headed door-ward…we're moving forward

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline (repeat)

The Last Time

I have to thank Mr. Tom Adams (What a terrific  guitarist).  Tom had posted his original track and invited me to add some lyrics.   I did so and added  some vocals.

The cover art is the Painting hanging in the Shop 

Walking into an Antique Store
On a cold Winter's day
I noticed a painting…...
That I hadn't seen before
With a Guitar in the Center
Well, my mind, it went back in time
To when Elvis lived here
Such a fine picture
Strollin' through the shop
Well, he was on my mind
Yeah, Tupelo….
That's where he learned to play
On an old flat top
(Chorus)
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
Let your mind relax….and float away
Down in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
And you know, all his Daddy could afford
Was a two-room house
But, it kept him from being bored….
Playing music over in East Tupelo
This 'Ol Southern town
Why, it just has music in it's soul
You can feel it in the air - everywhere
As you drive around
In Tupelo…..
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Just Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day

LIFE OUTSIDE A WINDOW BOX " Ask Yourself " by Glen Granthem
LYRICS
Would you leave behind everything you own
Start a new life create a home
Fall back naked wearing flesh and bone
Walk forward blindly to face the unknown
Live outside a window box, Electric moments unwound clocks
Could you travel the world  one day at a time
Never look back and still have peace of mind
Ride the sea in a ship with a sail
With no regret to live out this tale
Live outside a window box, Electric moments  endless talk
Ask yourself is it to late Just ask yourself if it's to late
Was there a time in life with your greatest love
You took a chance embraced god above
Running free through an open field
Then stopped to pick a daffodil 
And lived outside your window box  Electric moments endless talk
Ask Yourself is to late Just ask yourself if its to late

Life Outside A Window Box  ( Original With lyrics )

A special song about my Dad. (a tribute to John Prine's style of music)
Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Lizzie 
Vocal & Music by my friend Lizzie Taypen

I WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF HIM PLAYIN'
HIS OLD HARP IN THE KEY OF "C"
A GREAT MEMORY FOR ME

THEN HE WAS READY TO START HIS DAY
GRABBED HIS LUNCH...WAS ON HIS WAY
ALWAYS ARIVING EARLY AT THE JOB SITE
CAUSE BEIN' LATE WOULD NOT BE RIGHT

(CHORUS)
MY DADDY WAS A CARPENTER
HE LOVED DRIVIN' THEM NAILS
A SMALL TIME CONTRACTOR
ALWAYS FOCUSED ON DETAILS
NO AIR TOOLS BACK THEN
TO HIM…IT WAS A SIN
IF YOU DIDN'T USE A HAMMER

HIS WORK DAY'S...THEY WERE LONG
FILLED WITH HARD WORK AND SWEAT
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG
MY DAD HAD NO REGRETS

HE LEARNED HIS TRADE
IN THE ARMY DURING THE WAR
WORE OUT MANY A SAW BLADE
AND HUNG MANY A DOOR

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ON SUNDAY WE WERE ALWAYS GOIN'
TO THE COUNTRY CHURCH NEXT DOOR
HIS BIBLE, HE WAS ALWAYS READIN'
DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE MAN HE WAS BEFORE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Lyrics:

Unveiling of the night
Leaves a misty moon 
In the morning light
Driving in my car 
I know what’s up ahead
And seeking what’s behind

Floating down I’m lost within this feeling
As your sweet sweet words own all meaning
I’m in trouble....

Chorus
Chances are... you’ll stare at the same moon
Chances are... you’re needing my love too 
I can see your lights are on,
As I’m passing on your line
Chances are... I’ll give in one more time
Chances are......Chances are....

Memories rewind like a broken film
Taking me through time
Wish I had a dime for every time I said
I’m leaving it behind

It’s no use, I’m locked within this feeling
‘Cause your sweet sweet words ...
Owns all meaning ...  I’m in trouble..

Chorus
Chances are...my phone will play a tune
Chances are... you’ll sway me like you do
It’s a game the fates keep playing 
And It’s playing you and I
Chances are... 
the road will lead me to your arms tonight ..  
Chances are...   
Chances are...   
Chances are.

Chances
