Scattered thoughts coalescing into disillusionment. 

A new idea i am playing around with.  I will be working on this and updating it and will put a note here when i do.

Playing Around in an Open C

Some words are so wonderful, you want to hear them again:  the first time she (or he) says "I love you", and later,"I'm sorry, I was wrong", or "I forgive you". The judge says "not guilty", The doctor announces,"the cancer's gone"... you get the idea, news so good you want to hear it again.  I hope you like my trying to capture it in a song.

Endless Beach

Round and round the endless road, repetition overload, 
The circus of life
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Collective mass amnesia, wilful anaesthesia
Fire and furious reaction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
The actors and the faces change, storylines remain the same
Blame it on the scapegoat faction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

None So Blind

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
