JJ Cale as been on your turntable? Great sound Jerry, and your axe is so expressive. Man, just love it! Durge

I have to agree with D&D: got that JJ Cale feel to it, especially the vocals!!  Nicely done, Jerry!!

This song is so you Jerry! I like this lazy atmosphere:)

Pour a cup and wash me up
Take me to that place
Cleanse my soul and make me whole
Lord, Bathe me in your Grace
Dry your eyes and don’t despise
All the pain you hold inside
Life’s too short to break a Heart
Can’t believe it’s real
Say a prayer 
Let me know you care
And show me how you feel
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
Oooh, It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
No time to feel alone
We’re all where we belong 
So let’s be strong and carry on
Soon we’ll be headed home
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
It’s just my Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory 
Floating in the Wind

Words that inspired Glen are listed below. 

HE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN
DOWN IN THE DEEP SOUTH
LOVED FOUR/FOUR TIME
AND MAKIN' WORDS RHYME

HE TRIED HIS HAND AT SONGWRITIN'
SIGNED A FEW SONG CONTRACTS
HAD A FEW PLAYED ON THE RADIO
BUT THINGS WERE MOVIN' SLOW

HE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MUSIC CITY 
WHERE THE COST OF LIVIN' WAS HIGH
A CITY FULL OF SINGER/SONGWRITERS
WANTIN' TO BE COUNTRY STARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU LOVE MAKIN' WORDS RHYME
AND WRITIN' COUNTRY SONGS
MOST PEOPLE WOULD  AGREE
NASHVILLE'S THE PLACE TO BE
BUT, MAKIN' IT ON MUSIC ROW
CAN BE A HARD ROW TO HOE

DIDN'T TAKE HIM LONG TO FIND OUT
IF HE WANTED TO WRITE A HIT
HE HAD TO WORK OVERTIME
MAKIN' HIS WORDS RHYME

WELL, WORKING OVERTIME
DIDN'T HELP HIM VERY MUCH
CAUSE, NASHVILLE'S A TOUGH SALE
AND A HARD LADDER TO CLIMB

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Rather than follow the traditional path for this classic Christmas song we decided to change the words just a bit so the story is quicker paced than usual and told in the present tense. The message is eternal and unchanging and we hope our acoustic folk version will express it as well as any other version has for generations. Wishing everyone a very joyful Christmas 2022! 

We also did a music video with Nat & performing this song: https://youtu.be/Qwd9lq5Wkeo

Lyrics:  Noel (adapted from the traditional The First Noel)

On the first Noel 
Shepherds see a great star
That is guiding three wise men 
From countries afar.
And onto the earth 
Shines this glorious light
Over Bethlehem where the 
Newborn King lies

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Following the Holy light, 
To a stable they come
And there lies dear Jesus, 
God’s only son
Falling to their knees, 
With a gift they each bare 
Humbly looking upon the Lord’s 
Gift lying there

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Come farmers and statesmen, 
Come rich and come poor
Praise the gift of Christ Jesus, 
From our heavenly Lord.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel! 
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Noel

Getting old makes me reflect.  Seeing family and friends pass on.  Seeing older people of my generation living their lives sometimes without the physical or mental capacity to remember, feel, love, seemly lost.  It is sad but that IS part of life.  IT'S OK

Lyrics: I CAN’T GET NO SLEEP

1 V
will you close your eyes my love
the night comes crawling in
don’t fall asleep my love
before the dawn will come

CHORUS
can’t get no sleep tonight
no one is hiding in the shade
dance with me, the night away
forbidden serenade 
be lovers 
for one day

2V
Decades of million stars above
can’t hold the hand of time
if I could, I would, my love
but lay your hand in mine

3V
how could I not notice
the way you look tonight
only our hearts, we follow
and dancing through the night

WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS

THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND

Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST

THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN

IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA. 
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD 
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR

(REPEAT CHORUS )

:
Memories flicker between yearning, sorrow, and hope at the moment you realize your loved one has gone. Sweet blessing is an alt-folk tune with southern gothic undertones.
It is the opening track off the d'ville EP:

------------------------lyrics

Sweet blessing,
why are you playing dead, eyes in the back of your head?
I know even though your skin is cold
You're playing the fool in me.

Just last week? Just last week 
you wrapped your pretty head around this old tree
and tried your best to drown 
but when darkness came down
Whispered please save me…

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'Cause lately I've been thinking of
starting over as we grow young.

On Sundays you go to church alone
Leave your sister's children
Wondering why their two moms are so distracted…

When you come back
you come back, and break all the mirrors again
and scream that dying's the only fair thing
that's left in this world.

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'Cause lately I've been thinking of
starting over as we grow young.

/violin solo @4catsncoffee/

Close those books
Close those books, they smell like dust and ghosts
These old words can't convey the pain
'cause our time is forever near us.

I know a place...
Know a place where almighty sky in the rain
Towers above the earth where we once lay

So bring that broken...
Broken violin with just one string
And I’ll, I'll bring the drums
and we'll sing and dance a play the darkness away.

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'cause lately I've been thinking of
Starting over as we grow young.
