Schweet guitar intro, very tasteful tune!

Very nice song, superb guitar riffs and playing and excellent production. Enjoyed!

Soulful tune here. As always fantastic ax work.

I can be a sucker for blues music. I’m enjoying this

🤘🏾💯💯 southern rock blues that hit hard

Might be kind of cool with an eighth note echo on the vocals. A very subtle mix. Groovy.

Can the first few strums be a couple microseconds earlier? Not to fuss, but I think this has hit potential. Imagine Mic singing this.

Oh “stay out” is eighth notes.. ohh cool..  I keep thinking Rolling Stones cause of the cool rhythm track

crosswinds, when they blow
gonna blow too hard
catch you off-guard
some friends just say no
when you lean too hard
when it gets too dark

running around this playground town
i seen things that never were meant to be
pull it inside you, suck it up
and shut the door

baby, look at you
you grown so tall
now you wanna see it all
maybe, right on cue
time for a big fall
then you gonna blow it all

heading on down this playground down
so much potential, how far you gonna go?
savour this moment just before
the crosswind blow

well i've seen them blow before
three times or maybe more
baby i ain't joking, listen to my voice
when crosswind blow for you
the only thing to do is hunker down
there's no other choice

crosswinds, they have blown
air gone calm now
open this door now
things ain't quite the same
different space now
gotta find somehow

in and around this playground town
some way to hustle, the things you gonna need
if you can read how crosswind blow
you won't grieve

Crosswinds

About To Be Free

some colours can never be seen
some shades of blue and green
can't unsee what i've seen
can't undo what has been

but it's a long time living and working
loving in monochrome
part of me says look closer now
at the periphery
any old town is good enough
for me to call home
doesn't matter where you lay your head
if in dreams you roam

some words should never be said
some shades of yellow and red
can't get back what has fled
can't flee from what you dread

there are ways, means, things you can do
if you ever wanna get anywhere
better be sure it's where you want
cos you could be forever stranded there
some of these men will lie 
some of these women ain't what they claim to be
try to keep yourself free
try to keep yourself free

in dreams we roam
in dreams we roam

but it's a long time living and working
loving in monochrome
part of me says look closer now
at the periphery
any old town is good enough
for me to call home
try to keep yourself free
try to keep yourself free
try to keep yourself free
try to keep yourself free

Stay Out - Combstead / Robert Grigg

A drink, you're holding.
Cigarettes you're smoking. 
Hoping to find a way.
(safe for another day, lost in another maze) 
Hoping to find your way home. 
(you can't make it alone)
You won't make it alone. 
And you'll never get home.

(And just like all the rest)
You gave up on the cigarettes.
Just after they had all give up on you.
Had a bit of a do. 

A change unfolding.
Cigarettes she's choking.
The creases that line her face. 
(caught in a frozen place, trying to get a taste) 
Hoping to find her way home.
(she can't get there alone)
She don't wanna be alone.
Now shes so far from home. 

(You bloody pair of pests)
You smoked up all my cigarettes. 
And everything was better yesterday.
Nothing in my way. 

The whole world sees.
When you are on your knees. 
The cigarette burns.
(down your fingers, two up at the world) 
Now you can't find your way home. 
(it's not the home that you know)
It's not the place where you'll grow.
You wouldn't wanna go home.

False Prophets, False Start

It's a blessing to be able to create music and if someone enjoys my work, that's icing on the cake! All blessings come from God.

As a retired DOD Civil Service worker, I have time to record some. I have been recording at home sice around 1990 and some of my tracks are very old.  I‘ve had 50+ years in bands playing music of many types. I still play the club scene 3 to 4 times a month. Life is good!

I'm a Guitarist who likes to write, record and sing many styles of music. Please check out my tracks. I'm also enjoying the occasional collaborations.  Meeting some good friends on here and continuing to grow. Thank you for listening!


Es una bendición poder crear música y si alguien disfruta de mi trabajo, ¡eso es la guinda del pastel! Todas las bendiciones vienen de Dios. Como trabajador jubilado del Servicio Civil del Departamento de Defensa, tengo tiempo para registrar algunos. He estado grabando en casa durante unos 23 años y algunas de mis pistas son muy antiguas. He tenido más de 50 años en bandas tocando música de muchos tipos. Todavía juego en la escena del club de 3 a 4 veces al mes. ¡La vida es buena! Soy un guitarrista al que le gusta escribir, grabar y cantar muchos estilos de música. Por favor, echa un vistazo a mis pistas. También estoy disfrutando de las colaboraciones ocasionales. Conocer a algunos buenos amigos aquí y seguir creciendo. ¡Gracias por escuchar!
