Name: As I Went Walking written by Melanie by ReelyMusicLibrary
Duration: 1 min 42 s
Description: As I Went Walking was written by a very young Melanie but never recorded by her. Fortunately it was published in 1973. This is my version.

I can hear Melanie strong in this. It would've fit great on "As I See It Now" album.

I love these lyrics young Melanie!  Yes, this could have been on an album.  Well done Robb

Cyclone (Take 1)

A triumphant and catchy song about self-belief in the festive period

(I Won’t Be Your) Christmas Turkey

Greetings,

This piece was written during the incredible Christmas Blizzard of '22.  We were trapped (snowed in) here in Buffalo NY for over 4 days, and luckily the power to our home never went out, although thousands in the area experienced long power outages.  

This instrumental piece of soundtrack style reflects the numerous mixed emotions of the storm over the course of the 4 days, two of which were Christmas Eve / Christmas Day.  Over 40 people lost their lives locally due to the storm.  This piece is dedicated to them.

The DIVORCE Song - She Gets

REVOLVING DOOR

One more time
Just to see you
One more time
Just to feel you
One more time
To get to know you
One more time
Just to show you
Again, and again and again

It’s alright
If you’re weary
It’s alright 
I know I'm bleary
It’s alright
if you feel changes
It’s alright
we play the same game

Round and round and round she goes
and where she stops - hey nobody knows
in and out and left and right
what you see is what you get tonight
I just figured it out
Going in and out and up and down
turning left in the middle of town
I can’t figure it out

recorded by Rick Warren

Zeilinger/Mune/Borden @ The Spotty Dog, Hudson NY, 8/27/17

I walk the earth my darling and all around behold the works
From God's Grande Lounge to Man's delicate web cast across the ground and into the heavens
And as I look upon the machinery of civilization's grace sentinel upon God's face
I fail to believe it is the evil in men's hearts that built all this from simple starts
But the glory of hope and dream cooperation and courage intent on realization
 joined by sweat of brow and backs and hands have set these miracles before us

As the sun rises ever further across the landscape of consciousness
In the shortening shadows ever hide . . .

In the shortening shadows ever hide
 - the mistakes not yet made - understanding not yet stood
 - the subtle damages where malice has worn and frayed the fabric in its persistent tiny bites
 yet to be discovered and repaired
 - the limits not yet tested

No, I fail to believe that it is the evil in men's hearts that built all this 
And if mistakes were made it was the ignorance in men's minds
 and forgive them as they are endeavoring to 
 - sweep away the shadows
 - shine ever brighter
 - to sweep the shadows away

Las Renuncula, Llamada Rosa (a buttercup named Rose)

Robb Nesbitt lived an honest and unassuming life, trying marriage and attempting to raise two daughters, paying too many bills and busting his body on corporate industry. Then he retired.
Remaining humble, he read his poetry out and got published dozens of times and places, even editing a collection of Peace poems "Waging Words For Peace" with Chuck Culhane (a buddy of Pete Seeger), then without ever auditioning, his performance style (as evidenced in the 'Ice9' troop) won him roles in four plays - his lead character in Sweet Street (nominated for best ensemble cast - 2010 Artie Awards) was noted as the high point of the play by Buffalo News when he performed Leonard Cohen's 'Bird On The Wire' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5z2VFNO7Tg 
Simultaneous, were appearances in four local films: he provided the original song 'Roll,Lord' to Sweet Jesus, and performed in 'The Big Mess', 'Fake Job' and 'Beyond The Mainstream' for which he composed and played the music for its theme song 'Welcome To My World' which is found here on Soundcloud.com/slowheart-1/welcome-to-my-world-short
Robb Nesbitt's contributions to art also include photography and a few videos, such as his 1989 masterpiece 'Don't Believe' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdJIBKN-o80
Robb Nesbitt is a realist and knows the internet allows everyone to take what he has done for free. He makes a funny face about that, but is not bitter.
New eminent and imminent 2cd song cycle should appear relatively soon (provided he is not assassinated by anyone - or by himself for promotional purposes) will be called 'DREAMS UP THERE' and 'GRAVITY B-LO'. 
B-lo stands for Buffalo NY a cool, inexpensive place to live and own a home
 - everyone left, so there's not much traffic jam or elbow bashing sidewalk hustle. 
C'mon down. C'mon up. C'mon over. Fill yer cup !!!
