absolutely Graham - I would be honored !

Wow  she has a beautiful voice - great musician.
She reminds me of Joan Baez   

Thanks

Jim

ps  she should feel free to edit as she pleases

That was awesome ! WHO is that young stud singing ?   
Great performance.     

Here is a folk song of sorts   
Lyrics were written by Hank Williams when he near his end and unable to play or sing anymore.  When he died, his family found a bunch of songs as such - no music - just lyrics.  They contacted Billy Bragg to write the music and he did so and put out an album called Mermaid Avenue

My two faves from the album

California stars I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars

I’d like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, I’d give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars

Way over yonder in the Minor Key

Lyrics
I lived in a place called Okfuskee
And I had a little girl in a holler tree
I said, "Little girl, it's plain to see
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me"
She said, "It's hard for me to see
How one little boy got so ugly"
Yes, my little girly, that might be
But there ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
There ain't nobody that could sing like me
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee
To hear that west wind whistle to the east
There ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Oh, my little girly, will you let me see?
Way over yonder where the wind blows free
Nobody can see in our holler tree
And there ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
There ain't nobody that could sing like me
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
And laid it on to she and me
It stung lots worse than a hive of bees
But there ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Now I've walked a long, long ways
I still look back to my Tanglewood days
I've led lots of girls since then to stray
Saying ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Way over yonder in the minor key
Way over yonder in the minor key
Ain't nobody that could sing like me
Ain't nobody that could sing like me

enjoy

Jim

Real cool Graham   Sounds great -  fun song.     

The letters H, P, P in the solo notation refer to specific parts of a song: H typically stands for "Head" (the main melody or verse), and P often signifies a "Progression" (a section of chord changes, potentially including a solo) or "Play" (a section where the musician improvises or plays freely).
Here's a more detailed explanation:

    H (Head/Verse):
    This usually indicates the main melody or the verse section of a song. It's the part where the main lyrics and melody are presented.
    P (Progression/Play):
    This often means a section where there's a change in the chord progression or a solo break. It could be a series of chord changes or a section where the musician improvises.

In the context of solo notation:
The sequence "H P H P H P H H P H P P H P H" would suggest that the song has a form where:

    The "Head" (Verse) is played, followed by a "Progression" (solo or chord change).
    This pattern repeats several times (H P H P H P).
    There are some variations, like two "Progression" sections in a row ("H H P H P P").
    Finally, the "Head" section concludes with another "Progression".

In essence, the notation is a way to visually map out the structure of a song, especially when it includes solo sections or improvisational parts     

thanks for giving it a listen Richard.
unfortunately  only record from the microphone located on my computer. (:
Graham did a cover as well on his youtube channel.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IBYS-WBSdw
I really liked how he did it. I love it when real musicians take the time to record my songs bc they are always a better version
of what I can do, and much better to listen to.

Thanks again for taking the time to listen and thanks for the comment - always appreciate them

Brian - just listened to Caffeine - definitely a blues song that makes ya smile. 
maybe another verse for ya

" Drowsy eyes so very tired but the need to write is here.
with no caffeine that I lack, not one word will appear.
no caffeine in my coffee, a song I wouldn't want to hear
but if it ever happens,  I might as well have some beer!
