What a great opportunity for another collaboration with Paul Racle. Couldn't resist such a beautiful canvas to work with. I changed the tempo to 104 and went for it. Thank you Paul! :)

A reason to believe that it's alright

Sometimes I lose my mind
When I’m stuck in my own little world 
Like I’ve had enough of life 
I haven’t given you half my world 

Dreams of you that keep on calling 
A reason to find out just why
A reason to try
You keep on calling 
Like I’ve got nothing to hide 
My eyes on your side 

Dreams of you that keep on calling 
A reason to believe that it’s alright 
How long can I see it right?

A reason to believe that it's alright

I used to love you

I was raised in this world by God-fearing folk
In a harsh and unforgiving land
I did what I had to just to survive
And yes, I'll admit I'm a sinner

I took you for my wife, to have and to hold
And we swore to each other in the House of the Lord
To be true to one another 'til parted by death
And I knew even then we were sinners

And I worked and I toiled to carve for us a life
In this stone-hard world where we live
And sure, I transgressed, but I did it for us
I never would have guessed you'd betray my trust

You allowed yourself to be stolen by another man
You twisted the knife then you ran and you ran
Though I'm broken and bleeding I'm not one to forgive
And yes, I'm truly a sinner!

I'll survive long enough just to hunt you down
And I'll take him out in front of your eyes
Then you'll realise that breaking your vows
Is the gravest of sins for a sinner.

And I'll head off to the desert with my Bible and my gun
And I'll make my peace with Jesus
I'll join all the souls who strayed from the path
And you'll be all alone with all the sinners

You'll be all alone in a world of sinners...

Sinners

Some tunes you have to work at.  This one came quickly, but I still wanted it to steep a little, especially the middle section.  The title came quickly as well as I thought about my son-in-law's work as a truck driver.  When he is at home, he's home as a loving and devoted family man.  On the road, however, it's all "white lines and deadlines".  For a revealing look into the trucker's "white lines and deadlines", my videographer brother assembled a great video using a shorter version of this track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4xLPK3TUBA&list=LLj-OlGOzJtweD8nMGsz7Vsg&index=4&t=0s

White Lines And Deadlines

Track 10 from the album "B Sides, Alternates and Other Songs" ......... a collection of 10 songs written or recorded during the making of my "For the Stars" album in 2019 but didn't make the album.......releasing one song monthly thru October 2020!

"You Don't Know Me" is another true B Side. It was written long before I statred the "For the Stars" album and I recorded it with the intentions of having it on the album. But my wife vetoed it (she's my "test" audience!) in favor of another song and I felt 10 songs were enough for this album. So here it is now!

You Don't Know Me

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

Bedsick Blues

Played with OM-size steel string acoustic guitar.
Sound was captured by hexaphonic pickup and modelled in Boss GP-10 guitar processor.
This was almost full improvisation.

Guitar Imrovisation Sept 2020

Space invaders is a song that I wrote just to venture into a territory that is not mine and to have a little fun.

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.
