Haha  Badeye -  the fish !!! :0)

great song to listen to while gearing up for saturday morning tv !
Country songs like this always take me back in time.

You should get a tv spot  doing what your doing - finding great music that has been forgotten and enlightening people.

I was thinking though as I watched this -----   if it was Flint Michigan I damn sure wouldn't be eating any of those fish!

Thanks for sharing

Well done my friend.
As I was reading the lyrics, I kept saying to myself - where is the line " where I belong"  and alas -   last stanza - there it was  - where my bones belong" !

When I gave it listen, I thought perhaps it was a bit too fast tempo though, I thought it was going somewhat fast for the emotion of the lyrics to set in. 
Love the concept though.

I was just thinking about this the other day in fact.  I'm sure it resonates with all us old farts.  smile

Thanks for another great song Phill

Russell

That was fantastic !

I have never heard that song, and I agree with Roger - no need to listen to the original - this is awesome in it's own.  You bring the feelings of the  of the heart into every note played and vocalized. Your performance is captivating because  the passion you put into it  is as if it were the first time the story was told , which is always the best!
Russell,. a really great performance- I enjoyed that a lot.
Thanks for sharing

I added a verse - I thought it was lacking.

I'll try to re-do the soundcloud version with new lyric asap.

This from Paul McCartney upon hearing of George Martin's death.....

I’m so sad to hear the news of the passing of dear George Martin. I have so many wonderful memories of this great man that will be with me forever. He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me. He guided the career of The Beatles with such skill and good humour that he became a true friend to me and my family. If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George. From the day that he gave The Beatles our first recording contract, to the last time I saw him, he was the most generous, intelligent and musical person I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.

Pretty much settles the issue.

Love the Beatles !!

Ok = this is my futile attempt to play and sing this song.
funny how it sounds really good in my head, but when I play and sing it into a mic - ahhh not so good.
but anyway -  here it is and maybe one of you good players and singers can do an improved version.
I actually think of Bill singing this to Dondra smile   - since he spends so much time with her and they are in constant care of each other.

Hope you like it Bill !


Thanks for listening.

Hope she likes it Phill

I know it's probably been posted somewhere already, but I can't find it (:

When I go to my songbook, the songs there have the chord grids and are in Chord Pro display.  But when I post a song I wrote in songwriting using Chord Pro format it does not show the chord grids ( like it used too). 
no do they  display   in chordpro format.

I went to " How to post a song" and re-read it - and it isn't any different directions than before.

Am I doing something wrong  or is that just one of the things they still have to adjust ?

Thanks

TF

That is awesome !!

So spot on it's incredible.

My wife tends to compare me to another friend ( bachelor)  that has a lot of $, goes all over, has beautiful cars.
My answer is always the same when she does,I simply say "  he doesn't have you or our daughters - I win!"

Thanks for sharing TF. Very good work!

Badeye,

Seriously - yesterday I actually looked at the date  icon on my computer bc I thought somehow I messed up and  it was Thursday - when you didn't have the post. up.  smile
Leadbelly is awesome - what a wild life he had. His Biography is a good read.
His song "Where did you sleep last night?" is one of my favorites - it's actually how I discovered Leadbelly.  I thought it was a  Kurt Cobain / Nirvana song - but after researching found that they just were covering good ol' Leadbelly.
Thanks for the Blues with Saturday coffee and cartoons !:)
