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

Jim Croce has always been a favorite singer/songwriter of mine.  
I decided to do another one of his tunes.  I wonder what great
song he might have written if he was still with us?  Thanks
so much for listening.

Lyrics:

Gentle is the night, when it’s calling out your name
Gentle is the wind, sliding through the window pane

Gentle were your lips, that left me here like this, 
Pale blue moonlight

Tender were your words, when you whispered like a ghost
The curtain softly swayed, as from my arms you rose.

Gently closed the door, each step upon the floor,
Turns to silence.

And in the quiet of your wake
You still give all I can take, as your body lingers still
My empty arms remain fulfilled

Pain was in your eyes when you said there were no sorrows
And you filled my hands with a million tomorrows

Gentle on each curve, your fingertips and words, 
Midnight breezes

And in the quiet of your wake
You still give all I can take, as your body lingers still
My empty arms remain fulfilled

Gentle was the night
So gentle was the night
Gentle was the night
So gentle was the night

Gentle Was The Night

Lost Highway is a country music song written and recorded by blind country singer-songwriter Leon Payne in 1948. Hank Williams Sr. recorded it in 1949 and the rest is history. This is my raw one take version of this great song.

This original song describes the tribulations and challenges that often wear folks down, yet we can surprise ourselves, when we dig deep, and find the muster to meet and conquer all that life might throw at us. This is for all you Cowboys and Cowgirls out there.. we don't lie down.. we never give up.. xx

Lyrics:  “Stronger Than You Know” by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy

Trying to collect her thoughts
Like shards of broken glass
Taking care of work and family
Never stops to ask for anything.
She just needs her second wind

Oh she’s a cowgirl
With a spirit free and wild
And life may take her down 
And keep her there a while
But like a Valkyrie
She’ll find the strength to rise up like before
Like a sunbeam 'cross the floor
Cause she’s a cowgirl, and she’s strong…
Yeah, stronger than she knows….

He comes in and slams the door 
And shows his weary eyes
Paying bills, no time for thrills
He’s giving every inch he’s got inside
But he needs a breath of life…

Oh... he’s a cowboy
With a spirit free and wild
And he may be grounded
But they can’t take what’s inside
And like a phoenix from the ashes
He will rise again once more
He’ll be stronger than before
‘Cause he’s a cowboy and he’s strong
Yeah, stronger than he knows…
You’re stronger than you know
You’re stronger than you know…

Stronger Than You Know

In Memoriam and as a Lasting Tribute to the Late Great, Allen Bailey....Gone, but Never Forgotten. This is a wonderful Allen Bailey Original Tune that I just loved from the moment I first heard it. I sent some ideas for a Collab contribution to Allen, and he graciously re-recorded to allow me to better integrate my vocals, guitar, drums, etc... We liked how it sounded, and then Gabe Vanore of VanGabriel Production took this one to another level for us. Thanks, Allen and Gabe for pushing this one down the rails, and for letting me ride this rather magical train. I feel genuinely privileged to have been a contributor on this joyful project.

I was walking down Mare Street, Hackney
Climbing boots and back pack on
Looking for a song of mountains
I had climbed them many times before
Challenge may help to find another door

I’ve climbed arduous N.H.S mountains
Planted flags a'top of wedlock peaks
Hung upside down on magical fountains
With my muscles springing major leaks
My heart is growing smaller by the week

Stood and pointed at hours of darkness
Winds of silence a challenge of their own
Worn out boots a testament to distance
But the misery of counting my toes alone
Sixty three feet behind me as it goes

I have loved being a man of mountains
I hope many will profit from my deeds
I will try to climb just one more mountain
Slide down the other side to save my feet
At the bottom I'll need brand new cleats

This was written over 10 years ago as a George Formby style (Google the name if you’ve never heard of him) ukulele song - a mildly amusing message to Gal to let him know that I was fully aware of the mental health difficulties he was having and that I would always be there if he needed me.

Over the years, we spoke often about the song but nothing much came of it until Gal suggested slowing the tempo and giving it a kind of shuffle beat. As it was about him, I thought he should definitely sing the lead vocal, which I think works rather well. (*Vocalist’s note: It would help if I could still sing…)

You’ll find many personal references to Gal’s life in the lyrics. At the time it was written, he was 63, literally a fatal age for men in the extended Reeves family and he wasn’t having the best of times himself, still wrestling with the grief of a marriage break-up alongside the loss of his big brother and closest friend less than a year before. But even with all of this going on (and not always out of choice) he found there were plenty more mountains to climb.

The transition of the tune from Formby to Albers is a story in itself but suffice it to say that Hans somehow managed to transform it into this rather poignant opus.  He has also made a beautiful film to accompany the piece (see link above). All in all, it testifies perfectly to the reason why Gal’s cleats are somewhat care-worn...and he still has many mountains yet to climb.. (Terry Reeves)

Take Me Down  - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

There’s a ghost star light
Somewhere in the night
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

I’m out on a limb
And the odds are slim
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

Out on this side
Everything’s hazy
Nothing’s ever clear
Out on this side 
It’s so crazy
How far the way appears

Some leave tracks
To the moon and back
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

Out on this side
Everything’s hazy
Nothing’s ever clear
Out on this side 
It’s so crazy
How far the way appears

When worlds collide
A spark survives
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

There’s a ghost star light
Somewhere in the night
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

  NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
HANK WAS A BIT COCKY				
UNEASY AT THE SAME TIME				
SOMETIMES A BIT SHAKY				
BUT IT WAS HIS YEAR TO SHINE				
				
EIGHTEEN MONTHS ON THE OPRY				
GAVE HIM DRAWING POWER				
HIS SONGS WERE PURE POETRY				
HE WAS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
				
CHORUS				
THE YEAR WAS FIFTY ONE				
HIS BIGGEST YEAR				
BIG CROWDS STOOD IN LINE				
NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
YEA, NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
POP STARS WERE COVERING HIS HITS				
HE PLAYED SOME TV SHOWS				
HE SIGNED A MOVIE CONTRACT				
BROKE IT BY BEING A NO SHOW				
				
THE MILES HE TRAVELED 				
INCREASED HIS BACK PAIN				
BUT HE MADE THE BIG TIME				
CAUSE COUNTRY MUSIC WAS IN HIS VEINS				
				
(REPEAT CHORUS)				
				
WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE SO YOUNG				
IN THE BACK OF THAT OLD CADLLAIC

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,

The Day You Died  ( ORIGINAL ) Carolines Song  With  Lyric Sheet

A little dark, I guess.    Time waits for no one.  It can't be bought but it sure is spent.  Getting older, you realize that you could have used some of your time more wisely.  Ever wish you could put things on hold, save some of this precious time for a later date when hopefully you can use it better?

BEEN READING JOHN'S NEW BOOK				
SAW IT ON THE BOOK STORE SHELF				
DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK				
JUST A FEW OF THEM WERE LEFT				
BEING A CCR FAN				
WELL I GAVE IT A READ				
I LOVED THAT SIXTIES BAND				
GLAD THAT JOHN TOOK THE LEAD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
OH THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
OH ,YEA, THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
AFTER THE BAND BROKE UP				
HE DIDN'T PERFORM FOR AWHILE				
MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE				
CONVINCED HIM TO NOT GIVE UP				
THEN BEFORE TOO LONG				
HE WAS BACK ON TOP AGAIN				
WITH A STRING OF HITS				
FOREVER A BANSMAN				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
AWESOME GUITARIST				
HE PRACTICED EVERY DAY				
ONE OF THE BEST				
HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
BUT NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD

So many good years with this lady standing by me.  I don't know how or why she does it.  We are living in our latter years now and can reflect on the so many good things in our lives.  I am not very good at love songs, but I wrote this one a while back.  She has a birthday this week and I would like to share this on SC.  Happy Birthday my Lou Ann

The Angel From Montgomery

Lyrics:

Let it rain, overwhelm, sweep away, the old order 
It is time, for glaciers, to descend, break down borders

We set it off, this cascade, these dark boulders 
And as the shards of yesterday, tumble down, we are older 

Everything I wanted to be is consumed by plunging debris
Every sound that I'd ever heard is replaced by a single word
Deep, deep

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche is you

After the noise of the surge comes the silence
Amplified, worlds collide, we cry out, in defiance

Everything I wanted to be is consumed by plunging debris
Every sound that I'd ever heard is replaced by a single word
Every face that I'd ever known, buried by unstoppable flows
Every future, every past, covered by a moment so vast
Deep, deep

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche with you 

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche of you

Lyrics by Tony Harris (the lyrics are a bit sad)
Vocal, Music and mix by Chuck Aaron

SHE GREW UP IN THE COUNTRY
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT
HER HOME WAS HER SANCUARY
SHE KNEW THE MEANIN' OF HURT

HER MAMA WAS A SWEET SOUL
WITH A HEART OF GOLD
HER DADDY WAS A DRINKIN' MAN
AND DRINKIN' WAS HIS PLAN

THEY LIVED IN A RUN DOWN HOUSE
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT
MAN...WAS HER DADDY A LOUSE
LIP STICK ALWAYS ON HIS SHIRT

(CHROUS)
NO GOOD TIMES COULD BE FOUND
TEN MILES SOUTH OF TOWN
DREAMS TURNED TO HURT
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT
YEA…DREAMS TURNED TO HURT
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT

MANY NIGHTS SHE CRIED HERSELF TO SLEEP
LISTENIN' TO SCREAMIN' AND SHOUTIN'
THE SCARS IN HER HEART RAN DEEP
SPENT A LOT OF TIME DREAMIN'

BEGGED HER MAMA TO LEAVE HIM
WAS JUST TOO SCARED TO TRY
THINGS WERE LOOKIN' PRETTY DIM
THE PROBLEMS BEGAN TO MULTIPLY

SOMETHIN' HAD TO GIVE AND IT DID
HER MAMA SHOT HER DADDY
WHEN HER EMOTIONS EXPLODED
TIRED OF BEIN' TREATED LIKE A NOBODY

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

NO MORE SCREAMIN'
NO MORE SHOUTIN'
IT'S IN GOD'S HANDS
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT

An Original  buried on the hard drive.  As always, I thank you for listening!

Lyrics:
Well, I know that you saw me 
You looked so surprised 
I can’t believe I saw tears in your eyes
After all that you said 
And all that you’d done
I’d have thought you’d been long gone
Out on the run

You always seemed like such a Big City girl
with your high fashion dresses, your diamonds and pearls
You should be out making friends 
in the bright City lights
Holding court with those boys
during the parties at night

I thought that you’d left this small town behind
Did you ever leave or just change your mind?
Dry those eyes 
Smile through those tears
It’s really nice to see you 
It’s been a few years…

Something sweeter may come along
Always a brand new verse for the song
Enjoy the ride for it may not last long
No reason to question if and how it went wrong
Yeah, should be out on the run…
Out having some fun Baby!

[LYRICS]
When it comes dawn, everything's gone,					
I know that it won't last too long					
Paint a sad song on sunlit sky					
Try to hold the tears in my eyes					
Flowery bells of the morning					
Chills in the air, leaves are falling					
Dreams we weaved on rustling leaves					
Are really too much to give					
 					
Happy times, so hard to keep					
Those eyes of mine have learned to weep					
The rustling leaves whirl in the wind					
I'm hurt so deep					
In your lifetime do what you may					
No morning sun last a whole day					
The dreams we weaved on rustling leaves					
Are really too much to give					
 					
(Bridge)					
Feelings of intense uneasiness pervaded me					
Dreams of the past are like the stormy seas					
All those songs we write and sing					
Keep circling round my mind					
Sift the sand of my memory					
 					
** repeat bridge ***					
					
Those lonely nights are just too long					
Weak morning light, I write this song					
Game is lost, pay the cost,					
I'm striving to go on					
Take a boat and sail away					
Shake off the load, call it a day					
Dreams we weaved on rustling leaves					
Slowly fade away……….

HE FINALLY MANAGED TO SAY COUNTY 25						
WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO I-65						
						
AS SHE WALKED OUT THE FRONT DOOR

AS HIS HEART SHIFTED INTO OVERLOAD"…HE SAID						
SHE COULD MAKE A FREIGHT TRAIN TAKE A DIRT ROAD

SHE COULD MAKE A FREIGHT TRAIN TAKE A DIRT ROAD

LOOKIN' LIKE A MODEL IN A MAGAZINE						
YEA, SHE COULD MAKE A FREIGHT TRAIN TAKE A DIRT ROAD						
						
JOHNNY RUSHED OUT TO HIS TRUCK						
AND TRIED TO CATCH HER, BUT NO LUCK						
HE CHECKED EVERY INCH OF COUNTY 25						
ALL THE WAY BACK TO I-65						
						
HE STILL TALKES ABOUT THAT DAY

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A PRETTY GIRL OUT

WE NEED A SPECIAL PLACE
AND SOME OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE
