Wow Bill, this is an amazing journey of emotive and complex chords.

Great catchy vocal lyric track..great acoustic guitar..perfectly executed..captivating & passionate execution..excellent mix & recording production!

Another great song! It's an old record or have you redone this?

A real sense of being front seat at a music club with this one - smoke filling the air, beer in the belly and poetry in the ears. Wonderful work. 👍

You literally bring that guitar to life! Damn, what a beautiful song, Bill! Well done.🙌👏🏻

Real, up close, wonderful voice and playing man, and the song concept is so relatable and captivating … and original. 🎩

Thank you for this heartfelt song, Bill, really beautiful...

A slight echo of Nick Drake, while still being very original.  I really like this.

Travelling with Ghosts

Yesterday you told me that you‘ll leave our home today 
I think it’s okay cause you’re eighteen now anyway

It seems to me like someone pushed fast-forward on my tape
Keep holding back the memories in my head so they won't escape

Farewell my son, be safe when travelling with ghosts
They like to whisper in your ear, the things you fear the most

And when you‘re old and grey like your father is by now
Most likely you will think of me and drop a line somehow

Farewell my son, be safe when travelling with ghosts
They like to whisper in your ear, the things you fear the most

And when the time has come for you to meet your dad again
We‘ll be sitting on our cloud together, smiling now and then 

Happy birthday David!



Thanks a million for pre-listening: Michele, Gary, Judith and Brenda!

Travelling With Ghosts (David’s 18th birthday)

another from Sipos Studios. Original song by Bill Liggett.

Is it a good time.. lets make our point short and sweet
Save all the details till next time we meet
and if I dont see ya, dont you know that ill see ya
And if I happen to see you first ill be gone

is it important..im under the gun a hit and a run
they say that a snapshot is good for a thousand words
and if I dont see ya, dont you know that ill see ya
and if I happen to see you first ill be gone

anything more aint worth tryin
a lifetime of livings only 10 min long
and if I said any more id be lying way too much for a three minute song
and if.. I dont see ya, dont you know that i'll see ya
And if I happen to see you first..ill be gone.
Is it over,, did it all end in the blink of an eye
dont you fuss over me,, baby don't you cry
cuz if I dont see ya, dont you known that ill see ya
And if I happen to see you first ill be gone

I'll Be Gone

another from the archives.. This one has special meaning to me... Things can get very difficult.
I never played this live.....for good reason....I listen to this and it brings back pain... and anguish... tears.

Lyrics:
Lying on his bed.. his hands hold his head
He prays his house to keep and not his soul instead
for his faith was in a man who ran a good campaign
now his dreams they all are hungry
and standing in the rain he’s asking please..

Show me..   show me that you’re real
Show me … show me please .. please
please.. please… pretty please?

End of the day.. babes tucked away
she prays they wont go hungry  for another day
butn her prayers they are not answered
by the silence in her head
Kneeling by the bedside instead of counting sheep
shes asking please…
Show me… that you’re real
Show me…….

Sometimes at night..alone in my head
I pray my job to keep and not my should instead
for my faith is in the notion that someday I mi9ght see
that theres someone out there listening to the voices
As they’re asking please…..
Show me…. show me that you’re real
Show me please….. please please…
Please?
Please?
Pretty please?

Pretty Please

Ho. Ho. Ho.

Behind The Dam

“The person 
who allows oneself 
to be exuded (poured out)
in weeping 
and a music 
which is no longer like it 
in anything, (in anything)

at the same time 
allows the stream 
of what is not itself 
to flow back 
into it, 
what is not itself 

and what was dammed up 

behind the dam 
of the world of things.”  	

Behind the dam
Behind the dam
Behind the dam

Behind The Dam (wt Art.Silence)

New year. New deal... same BS every time. And the simple things get pushed further away.

Lyrics
Its a borrowed Life for the wife and the kids
its a 5 part special of life on the skids
its welfare on wall-street yes we know that its not smart
but theres no time to use good sense just open up your heart
We cant make it simple and real
we must not make it simple and real
because its the new deal

its buy the lie now and pay over time
low monthly payments affordable crime
its the latest new deal now theres no time to mess around
its pay it no mind cuz you’ll be 6 feet underground
lets not make it simple and real
no we must not make it simple and real
because its the new deal

its a weekend for two with all expenses paid
where nobody says no and everyone gets laid
its a big screen tv set
a brand new red corvette
its a cancer free cigarette oh you bet
taken it to the bank
use it to fill your tank

its a frenzied pace better roll with the hype
its a Christmas card with a magnetic stripe
its no Sunday dinner and baseball for free
and its no vodka and poker with aunt marie
we cant make it simple and real
no we must not make it simple and real
because its the new deal…

children of all ages its the new deal.
there's a sucker born everyday
I wanna be born again..

The New Deal

With the fall of the Assad regime, Syria is once again thrust into the international spotlight as new leadership takes hold promising much while its citizens took to the streets celebrating the ousting of Assad and now wait hopefully for positive change.  The country has been in a civil war of unspeakable cruelty since 2011. The swift changes have been on Peter's heart through the holiday season. It is a country, a land, and a culture that is deeply rooted in history going back over 10 millennia.  In many ways it is a cradle of Western civilization but its people are at a contemporary crossroads wanting what we have; peace, prosperity, civility, and freedom to determine their destiny as a nation.  This song addresses that hope, the first release of the year for our little international ensemble.

Mother Syria

Hold my hand up to the sun to reach this smouldered rubble
Lift my eyes again with little patience left in trust
Assad years, father and son, each the devil’s double
Gassed and burned my cradle nation to blood-soaked mental dust

With his face alight the new guy’s mission, pure, sent from heaven
Promises truth, gold, light and god in his virgin presidential pledge
In the dead of night autocracy voted AK47
New boots crush freedom’s fingertips, as they’re clinging to the ledge

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
That cradled understanding of things earthly and divine?

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
Or should we prepare the palliatives for your sectarian decline?

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
On the path of sane humanity or on diabolos’ design?

Mother Syria will you renounce the suicide bomber’s blast?
Maybe seek out peace at last?

Mother Syria (Seagull, Peter, David)

Sometimes things get a little hectic and i have to get away so i grab a quiet corner and my guitar and sit there and slip away from Time into my own Space. I suppose you could say, " When i need to find myself, I loose myself.

Time & Space

'Twas all just a dream

a favorite old Dylan song with favorite old friends, Jeff Kinzel singing harmonies and Guy Jenkins providing soul

I Shall Be Released (Dylan)

Songwriter. 

I did a lot of public performance with various talented artists. Im now returning to writing and recording.  UPDATE:  Ive found so many great artists to follow but im afraid I cant keep up. Theres always someone new to hear and I dont think I can keep up with the listening and returning support without some delay...

I really did not expect this much support.. I had no idea about the generosity and warm welcome from this community. I will do my best  🙏🏼

Thanks for listening and providing inspiration via your own beautiful art.

Side Note :  My goal here is to upload my catalog to date... thats something I really want to do before this life is over.. ( Im feeling fine today ). Theres so many people out there like me.. who may not ever get the chance to share the creative spark within themselves ... the small ( or large ) contribution to the culture of humanity . This platform.. as others currently and in the past, brings the entire world together in one harmonious creative voice. And if nothing else, shows us that we can really all get along just fine with each other if left to our individual creative desire to do so..

I am humbled by your kind and generous spirit and your willingness to share it.

Pretty Please

Bill Liggett
