the "story behind the song" .........  "Song for the Salesman" is about my 20+ year career in sales and my recollections of those times both on my own and in management. For those that are in or have been in sales, on commission, you know it's a single person "sport", each sales call is a new game. When you win it's a thrill! When you lose, you have to pick yourself back up and do it again. The days are long, lots of windshield time some days, always a quota.....you just have to keep on going!  The violin was purposely chosen for this song. It signifies the long days that are put into the job to be successful. I felt the violin had the longest "tone" of any instrument I could have chosen to signify these days.

I was never good at sales. Customer service has been my forte. I can't even sell my music. So I have been giving it away for free here on SoundCloud. Such is life I suppose.

A fantastic piece... wonderful lyrics, wonderful song 🌷💟🌹

A million thanks to Nat for these beautiful, emotional vocals and that wonderful piano. Something that we need more than ever in these days is comfort. And that's what this song is about. Thanks for listening!

I recently renovated this one. An instrumental, with moments where you can tap along, and slower reflective moments. It signifies the ebb and flow of a workday. So I named it Working Day!

Quiétude:

Quiétude qui es-tu ?
Quiétude de qui es-tu épris ?
Quiétude qui étudies-tu ?
Quiétude que dis tu ?
Quiétude qui te tue dis ?.. le mépris ?

--------
Quietness 
Quietness who are you?
Quietness Who are you in love with?
Quietness  Whom do you study?
Quietness what is it that you say?
Quietness Who is it that kills you ?... contempt ?

Lyrics:

Do You feel empowered, or do you feel like you're enslaved?
Do your dreams grow and flower, or do they burn in raging flames in your mind?
Do you feel empowered?

You say your letting go
And you don’t want to know
But what you need to know
Is that you belong

Don’t say your letting go
Just say you want to know
But you say 'it’s all gone wrong'

Spending your time
In the sorrow
Where you’ll never know how far you can go
You're never gonna know
If you say you’re letting go
But I know you know
I’m here for you now

Does your heart beat in wonder, or does it feel like it's been drained?
Are you living your life like thunder, or do you hide and feel ashamed in your mind?

Do you feel empowered? 
Please don't feel like your enslaved
Let your dreams grow and flower
Don't let them burn in raging flames in your mind

Feel empowered

Empowered

Misty Fall  Rain

This is an original love song that recalls such a vivid passion that he temps fate by dare asking if all these years later it could be reignited. Despite all odds, he ponders the seemingly impossible.

Lyrics:    Like We Could by Craig Durgy

I’m sure we can’t recall, the name of that motel
Where we parked our cars and hugged so hard we, 
Nearly fell
Like first time teenage fool-arounds we, 
Unlocked that door
And our summer duds went flying to the floor

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if we really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

The sun just melted all our cares, that distant day
But the bluegrass bands, like sonic fans just, 
Blew the sweat away
And I held you by your cut-off jeans like, 
Somewhere deep I knew
That loving you was too good to be true

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if you really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

Like We Could

For the Stars

Song For the Salesman

"It's just a hobby!"

I bought my first guitar about 10 years ago, I was 56 years old. I had wanted to learn long ago and decided with my early retirement, now was a good time! I had no musical experience but with the help of many YouTube videos (mostly JustinGuitar.com), I started to learn. Along the way, I wrote my first original song and started videoing and recording my music, both originals (@lenaloise) and covers (@lenaloisecovers). My first song was posted about 5 years after that first guitar!

My music "hobby" has really grown since I started! Many guitars, pedals, gadgets, equipment! But it's a hobby! I work hard for every note and learning this instrument at an older age is different from starting in your teens! My page is a mix of things that I enjoy in my "hobby"! I record "almost live" with minimal takes and editing. I strive for fun, not perfection, and I learn as I need to for that enjoyment!

So please subscribe (if you like) and follow along! Thanks for listening!
