very nice mellow acoustic guitar almost like a summer walk thru a field full of buttercups and daisys heading down the the river 

Beautiful played …….. what a lovely composition!

Nice reminds me of 'New Moonshine' era James Taylor

Beautiful feel to this acoustic piece!! Bravo!!

such a beauty , the guitar sounds so clear , very well done :-)

I wonder what Mics and pres did you use on your guitar? its so clean!

This is a love song to my family. This is the second track off of my new album due out Summer Solstice June 20th, 2021. 

Garden's full of love Water Can but the dirt won't grow
Never had the patience forever and relations to show
Frozen cracked ground like the marble slab kept in tow
Never had a seeder sever but the green won't grow
But the sky's so high
Towers over you
Byzantine so Byzantine so blue
Never had a reason, never had a reason to grow
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows
Never had a reason, never had a reason to grow
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows
Never had a reason, never had a reason to grow
Counting all the reasons seasons come and go
Creating all the reasons dreaming of the undertow
Growing up strong with a richness of its own
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows
Maybe you're the reason, the reason my garden grows

Ciudad Prohibida

Ya no hay mas nada que ver,
no tengo nada que hacer,
voy flotando con  la brisa.
Yo necesito saber
como me vas a   encender.

Angel del amanecer,
ven a buscarme otra vez
para sanar las heridas.
Para ponerme de pie
y atravesar la ciudad 
prohibida.

Veo tantas cruces de madera,
veo tantas almas con la misma sed.
Los bemoles en sus madrigueras,
tejen sus mentiras por la red.

No vivo para temer 
yo sirvo para crecer
lejos de tanta codicia.
lo que yo llevo en mi haber
son mis sueños en papel.

Musa del amanecer,
ven a ayudarme otra vez
para colmarnos de vida.
Para ponerme de pie     
y atravesar la ciudad 
prohibida.

Veo tantas cruces de madera,
veo tantas almas con la misma sed.
Los bemoles en sus madrigueras
traman sus mentiras por la red.

The original Pyrrhic victory came courtesy of Pyrrhus of Epirus, a Greek king who was undone by his costly battles against the Romans. Pyrrhus first invaded Italy in 280 B.C. after allying himself with Tarentum, a Greek-speaking city that resented the Roman Republic’s increased domination over their homeland. He arrived with a force of some 25,000 men and 20 war elephants—the first the Roman legionaries had ever faced—and immediately scored a famous victory in his first battle at Heraclea. The following year, he bested the Romans a second time during a heated clash at Asculum.

Pyrrhus fancied himself a latter day Alexander the Great, and he’d hoped his invasion would give his empire a foothold in Italy. But while he’d routed the Romans at both Heraclea and Asculum, he had also lost more than 7,500 of his most elite fighters, including many officers. Pyrrhus had no way of replacing his casualties, and his failure to deal the enemy a deathblow sent morale plummeting within his ranks. According to the ancient historian Plutarch, the warrior king was quoted as muttering, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” Following a setback at the Battle of Beneventum in 275 B.C., he reluctantly called off his campaign and sailed back to Greece.

From the History Channel

PYRRHIC VICTORY

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes

Are you feeling good
It seems you should
Now the smoke has cleared
Now that you are feared

Your triumph is great
Are you ready for your fate
Cause for elation
A grand celebration

Oh, it doesn’t feel right
Oh, this dishonorable plight 

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes
Glitter, riches, fame and glam
Black tie Russian roulette

You lick your wounds
All your lovers are gone
Alone in your palace
Your light has shone

All your friends in flight
All your allies are foes
It’s not an end
The start of your woes

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes
Glitter, riches, fame and glam
Black tie Russian roulette

Pyrrhic Victory

Never been to Birdland though I’m a big Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker fan. This track, however, is more about the Tweetie variety, they are such a delight, I love listening to their toons. If you have time, I urge you to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdIoL2YLu7Y . Ghislaine is such a talent, her photos and videos just capture the magic.
  
I’m on my way to Birdland
That’s where I wanna be
Modern day living so unforgiving 
It’s not a place for me

You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be

I just love their beaks
Their feets, their tweets
And they’re so reet petite
So why’re being so thoughtless
Turning up the heat
We’re the pest
Messing up the nest and…
You know the rest  
You know the rest
You know the rest 
  
You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be
Birdland’s the place to be 
Birdland’s the place to be

She’s so hungry
She catches flies with honey
They stick around and freeze
Then buzz off with the breeze

She’s so lonely
Always musing ‘if only’
She could some day find
Some kind of peace of mind

Go on, go on, go out tonight
Tomorrow’ll be alright
Stay out until you find
The dream burning in your mind

Go on, go on, go out tonight
Tomorrow’ll be alright
Stay out until you find
The dream burning in your mind


She won’t marry
A life so ordinary
The only thing they’ll find
Is what she’ll leave behind

Go on, go on, go out tonight
Tomorrow’ll be alright
Stay out until you find
The dream burning in your mind

Go on, go on, go out tonight
Tomorrow’ll be alright
Stay out until you find
That dream burning in your mind


Maybe it’s nothing 
Maybe it’s everything
Maybe it’s nothing
Maybe it’s everything
Maybe it’s nothing
Maybe there’s nothing wrong with that

Go On!

An acoustic guitar duet. Shael and I have different, complimentary playing styles heard here in this simple recording. Just two guitars...and  a little rainfall.

Summer’s here, turn up the heat
not sure what to make of this
I’m your confidant
We can keep it discreet
Are You Ready?
Because It can leave a mark
It can leave a stain
Take it to the top
And back down again
Been around the block
and back again
Are you ready?
Look at the time
What a mess you’ve made
Dirty 30
got bills to pay
This could be the one that you’ll never forget
Are you ready?
Because It can leave a mark
It can leave a stain
Take it to the top
And back down again
Been around the block
And back again
Are You Ready For This?
Headed to Vegas
And the bright lights baby
Who’s gonna be the first to blink
Blowing through the desert
With the top down baby
Up ahead is not what you think
Stop at a station
To access this strange situation
Who’s gonna be the first to blink
Tic tok baby
It’s a time bomb ticking

Are You Ready

Are You Ready - COtu + Jimmy Repp

About a decade ago two things happened: I came really close to losing a family member to a sudden brain infection and my then-wife asked for a divorce. In both cases I didn't have an opportunity to tidy things up before the door suddenly shut. I wrote this song at the time but it took awhile to unpack the suitcase. As usual, I would much rather someone else sing this than me, preferably Harry Nilsson.


Well I guess this is goodbye
I won’t see you anymore
Your eyes are strangely vacant
You’re just staring at the floor

Well I swore I wouldn’t cry
Well I guess I’ve lied before
Lies are only wishes
We don’t believe in anymore

And if I hold your hand
Would you understand?
Would you hear me call your name?
Words to dull the silence
Nothing to dull the pain

Is this the last goodbye?
I can’t believe that it comes to this bitterness
Is this the way love dies?
Tossed out and hopeless
No time will tell, no fare thee well

If I could do it all again  
I’d be the one to bend 
I’d soften up my heart
I’d treat you like a friend

Did I ever even try?
Did I give it all I had?
The days that made me dizzy
Are the only days we’ll have

Is this the last goodbye?
I can’t believe that it comes to this bitterness
Is this the way love dies?
Tossed out and hopeless
No time will tell, no fare thee well

Open up your eyes so I can see you one last time

(Kick-ass guitar solo)

But it’s over now
And I don’t know how
To leave it all behind
I want to hear you say it
I gotta hear you say goodbye

Just one last goodbye
That’s all I need
Then I will leave
Then we'll let it die
I won't fight
I’ll be alright

Open up your eyes so I can see you one last time
If love is blind, I’ll close mine

Know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain
Girl/Boy, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl/boy you know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole and I borrowed, yeah

Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

Why in the world would anybody put chains on me? Yeah
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it, no

Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free just me, oh baby

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, ooh

'Cause that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah

'Cause that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

'Cause I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

'Cause I'm easy

Ah,the times were good
We had a ball
We didn't make much money
Sometimes none at all

We played our songs
Believed the part
All that we played and sang
Came from the heart

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

Ah time moves fast
But we move slow
Nothing ever lasts
We weren't to know

Burned out and faded
The passion gone
Going through the motions
For every well known song

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

There are conflicting legends relating to which lake Turgeis the Norwegian warrier who persecuted Christians was drowned in at the hands of King Malachy.
The Annals of the Four Masters states that after he had plundered Connaught and Meath and burned Clonmacnoise that he was taken prisoner by Maelseachlainn, son of Maelruainaidh and afterwards drowned in Loch-Uair.
Local oral tradition states that Turgesius was rolled down The Captains Hill in a barrell into the waters of Loug Owel.
MacGeoghegan on the other hand gives an account of his death in Lough Ennell. http://www.askaboutireland.ie/
