I've had a terrible cold/flu for about a month.  I bought myself a new guitar (Simon & Patrick acoustic) and a new microphone (Rodes NT1A) just before I got sick.  I've been dying to put them to (good) use.  The rhythm came off the S&P acoustic one evening then I finished off the rest the next morning, using some of the grandkids' shaker toys for percussion!!!  This was a blast to put together.  First time using a djembe and first offering using a harmonica.

As for the song, well it is just about relationships and how usually one person becomes more dominant which makes it (sometimes) frustrating for the other.  Pent up frustration leads to saying mean things.  Saying things which one regrets almost immediately but you can never truly take it back (and have it all forgotten).  Been there.  Done that.  Have the bloody t-shirt.  

Can’t Take It Back
--------------------------

Been on the road for
So many nights
How I miss
Our warm bed
And I know I can’t take back
All those things I said

I’m just too old
For you to be so young
I can’t turn back
The hands of time.
All I can do is make you listen
To my tearful rhyme.

[SOLO]

Oh how I miss your eyes
And the gentle way
You caress
During the deep dark night.
Yet I stand here alone and no way
To put things right.

Been on the road and
I’m so damn tired
Wishing I was
Back home with you.
What can I say to make this right?
Please tell me what to do.

[SOLO 2]

Been on the road for
So many nights
How I miss
Our warm bed
And I know I can’t take back
All those things I said.

I know I can’t take it back.
What can I say to make this right?
Please tell me what to do.

[SOLO 3 - Outro]

SOMEDAY THE WEIGHT OF THIS YEAR ON MY LIFE WILL BE AN ALBUM FULL OF PAIN,... BUT, RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE I'M CENTRALLY LOCATED IN HELL

1987 WENT TO Nashville for a “short week” Music row to make the big time … wow … nobody listens in lawsuit land in those days. 1988 WENT TO NASHVILLE for 3 days (surely, I would crack this puzzle and become famous …) so many on benches in front of churches. Frustrated, didn’t sing publicly again basically for 25 years. (after all, where would a singer/song writer, make a name for himself in Karaoke land).
2010 discovered open mics (new world begins). WRITING SINCE …a lot! Had someone to produce me in limited acoustic style for a couple years…I think a few were damn good “Fields of Quiet Soil”. Had a lot of offers to write lyrics and/or sing for a lot of other artists here. (but no recording capability …let alone a decent computer for my own. TODAY, THINGS CHANGE …I’m here to make an impact (got 4 new ones under my belt recently) …plus some old ones you will not be disappointed listening to. Welcome old music fans and artists., potential serious collabs.
I’m locked and loaded this time!

I love how SC brings folks together from all around the world. I've had the opportunity to collab with new friends everywhere from TX (wazzup Tom?) to Germany (proud to officially be called a "Lunatic" with Hendrik and Jorg) to Holland (cheers, Marco!)to Spain (the incomparable Ms King)...to Japan (trading blues licks with Keit)...and hopefully more in the near future.

The Shon Townsend Band is a Blues/Rock band from the panhandle of Nebraska. Playing rockin blues originals and covers.

Somewhere I read that SoundCloud is the DIY of the music world.  Very true for most of us wannabe (famous) musicians.  For those who were lucky enough to spend years in an actual sound studio, maybe this is a slam dunk. For the rest of us, it's like being the Wright brothers before they fully understood the science behind aerodynamics much less get a machine to fly.

I have learned a lot in 2018 thru 2019 while playing at small, local venues.  It's a lot easier to sit back in a "recording studio".  I do put that in quotes since, for me, this is just a couple of microphones connected to a DAW which is connected to a computer with some multi-track software and some free plugins to enhance the finished product.  I believe there are about 5 unique disciplines to learn which include: playing an instrument, singing, doing both together, using a microphone, connecting with the audience.  I have much more respect for stage performers now, especially solo artists. Now, if one adds the discipline of recording engineer, well then, you have a well rounded musical background. 

I do hope that you enjoy some of my tunes.  I'm always happy to hear from listeners who have something meaningful to share, even when it is not particularly flattering or in someway odd.  I'll even try to answer any questions you may have.  Remember that you are never too old nor too young to create and share your music and/or share your knowledge.
