Music I Like 27

A few small changes to the words...
This was tough, I have such a rough time with vocals, i rerecorded some of them and remixed the track..

Getting up at 4a m before the birds are singing
Rise and shine to the smell of coffee percolating
Load up the truck put the gear in the boat we’ll spend the day out fishing 
What a way to spend a saturday, out on the river 
And the coffeeville road is dark and long but we know which way to go
we’ve been this way a million times to our favorite fishing hole…
The old lock and dam on the Tombigbee river..

Take me down to the river one more time
Let me put my feet in the water to ease my mind 
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the wind blow through the trees 
The way it used to be  
 
The river is life, the river is love, but the river is tough sometimes
And the river is hope, the river  is dreams , as  it runs through our lives
it’s full of the memories of the times we had together
And it feels like it goes on and on, but nothing lasts forever

 And the Coffeeville road don’t seem as long as it did those years ago
And were going one more time to our favorite fishing hole..

Take me down to the river one more time
You can put your feet in the water to ease your troubled mind
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the shadows through the trees
My Dad and me…

Father's Day {Complete}

Stop Drop and Roll

Stop Drop And Roll

Traveler

A humble honey bee becomes an questioning philosophical singing bluesman.  A folky song reminiscent of one of my musical heroes, Loudon Wainwright III (Swimming Song, Dead Skunk)
Lyrics:
I've been flying around
I've been buzzing around town
I'm just trying not to drown
Inside the hive mind
I'm on a mythical quest
I'm a 5 eyed Sir Galahad
I'm always questioning the plan
The most beautiful flowers
They always seem the most sad
Is there a heaven?
Do I believe in nothingness?
And nothing less?
Oh well, I digress
You know what we should do?
Let's dive bomb the Influencer!
Destroy her photo shoot!
Oh, I've been buzzing around
I've been swarming around town
I've been questioning everything that I've found
Inside the hive mind

Is our life just one job?
And that's all we do?
I'm a drone bee
Not a worker
But I'm really stung on you
Let's cause chaos at the school grounds!
We'll seek out the bullies
Give them technicolor wounds!
Oh yeah, well you know that a life must have a purpose
And we all contribute to the bloom
(happy bee buzzing around)
In the hive mind
Hive mind 
You've got to question the way you're thinking
Start questioning the plan

Hive Mind

Back around 2015, I started taking guitar lessons from an instructor who was really into Bluegrass Music. I soon discovered that didn't have an aptitude for the guitar and didn't have a great desire to practice enough to make up for any natural ability. 
I did mention to my instructor that I had written a couple of songs and maybe our time would be better spent learning how to record these songs.
One day I tried to write a 'bluegrass" tune and titled it, "I've Done It Again." We recorded it. Years later, I wanted to revisit some of my earlier recordings and see what they might sound like with professional musicians. Nicky V. Hines, currently the lead guitarist with Shenandoah acted as musical director, guitarist, arranger, engineer, and producer for me on this finally finished new version. (Several versions have been posted on my SC page throughout the years. This will be the Spotify, Apple, Amazon etc version of which I shall make .002 of a penny every time it is played.) On bass is Martin Motnik currently a member of the popular European Heavy Metal Band "Accept." (Trust me, I have no idea how a country bumpkin like me ended up working with Heavy Metal - but I dig it.) On keyboards is the wonderful Tim McDonald , out of Nashville. On drums is another Nashvillian, Travis L.. Super people and very, very talented and experienced.
I like this version very much - musically. I think the mix is excellent (Nicky V. Hines) and I like how he took down the reverb on the vocal, it sounds a bit edgier, a little more vulnerable, and real. 
What's the song about? It's about not being able to take off the "masks" and take down the walls . Although "good lover" is sexual certainly sounding - we can mess up good love in other ways too - family, friends, etc. And, although we can deeply feel the pain of our actions, sometimes we just can't seem to get out of our own way. 
It is a song about being human. Thank you Nicky!

I've Done It Again

I never set out to make tracks like this... I even mean NOT to... but they seem to happen anyway!
