Elton John's "Border Song", done in the style of Stevie Wonder. I couldn't do his vocal sound justice on this, so I didn't attempt it. But the instruments are all geared for that sound.

Border Song

Soul-inspired tune, I was watching some Legal Eagle videos at the time.

Even if we are fortunate to like our fire, we still must pull away to breathe. But that's not how society is set up.

The Moment

"New Mexico Rain" was written by Michael Hearne, "Night Rider's Lament" was by Michael Burton. I used to hear Doug Marquis play "New Mexico Rain" most nights at the closing campfire when I worked at Philmont, but a few nights he would play "Night Rider's Lament" instead. I played the music on his days off, but I had trouble learning the words to "NRL", and had trouble learning the guitar for "NMR". Several months later, I figured out a facsimile of the guitar, based off of what I could remember from Doug explaining the intro to me. Both songs were done by the Tobasco Donkeys, one on each album, so I was able to listen to those, and the songs are forever linked in my mind as the serious songs at closing. I thought, why chose between them?

New Mexico Rain/Night Rider's Lament

A new song with a cool groove :)

Lyrics & music - Sarah Cowart 2019

Oh honey, am I on your mind
Half as much as you are on mine?
You didn't bother to drop me a line
And it drives me crazy wondering why

You're underground
You can't be found 
You're underground

I got a love I can't seem to hide
Longs to be your only desire
But how to keep you satisfied?
Whatever you're thinking
You're keeping it inside

Underground
Deep down
It's underground

I'll back away, give this some space
Everything I want to say will stay ---

Underground
I won't make a sound
I'll be underground

Underground

RIP Peter Green, and thank you for the music. I have performed this song on a weekly basis for much of the past year, and with the news of Peter's death earlier today, I decided to record it.

Before the Beginning

Inspired by a friend's song, I took the beginning of the melody of one line, reversed the chord change, and the rest of the song grew out of that.

On This Line

Written after John Prine passed away, I had been playing along with one of his songs, and as I set the guitar down, the melody for this song popped into my head, and I picked it back up. I had this written about 30 minutes later.

All I Know

I'm a singer/songwriter from Louisiana.  I play a Taylor, a semi-hollowbody Epiphone and piano. All songs are originals unless otherwise noted. <3
