I’m almost afraid to listen to your tracks Jeff. I’m afraid it’ll just make me sell all my recording equipment and disappear into the musical sunset. Everything about this track is so self assured and complementary to the theme. Love your vocal effect here. Terrific work Jeff!

Seriously Beautiful Song & Recording Jeff ~Really  Love this Folky Gtr & Vox ~~

A beautiful song for such a sad story, well done Jeff!

Just not now - yeah and nice guitar figure in this one and nice the way you restore and fade it at the end

Heavy subject - good to give it a voice. Great song.

this song holds up after many listens.  Excellent Track....Looking forward to your next release!

excellent tune Jeff - good for you to bring the darkness to light.

Bringing back a song I wrote nearly seven years ago. The American soul -- we like to tell lots of good stories about ourselves. Here's one that's not so good -- the account of the Moore's Ford Lynchings, in which a Black WWII veteran and his pregnant wife were murdered. No one was ever convicted of the crimes. How much of this same cruel spirit is still with us now?

there’s a tree in Georgia that never should have grown
it held the bodies upright they were tied with rope

I will be redeemed I will sing and shout
I will be restored just not now

Mae Murray was  twenty four heavy with a child
when her head had fallen down they cut the baby out

forty legs that walked away forty eyes that saw
twenty souls that never said a word to the Georgia law

1997 fifty years had gone 
someone came to find the place and mark the dead with stones

I Will Be Redeemed

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement. If you listen and leave a comment I always try to listen to *your* music when responding! If you follow at random without any feedback I hope you get something out of that too... ; )
