To my fellow Chordians

This whole episode has been a matter of bad communication, and filled with very good people trying to do the right thing.

I apologize to all  -  especially Russell .   I did not see his private email to me explaining what he was talking about.  I thought he meant that I had to take down the song I wrote because it was entitled the same as the Rascal's song.
I thought that I had been reported - but I didn't even know what that meant.

I also was unaware that you can't post lyrics - even if you give credit to the writers.  I certainly would never do anything to jeopardize Chordy intentionally.

Thanks to Phill for pointing out his thoughts and to Arklady and Roger G for taking the time to get things straightened out.


Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Jim

Love the song  ( a little  hard for me to play though. ) 

I agree with Grah 1      I think I would change the line to  " She's mad as Jesse James, she's got murder on her mind "
I picked him because he was bitter and twisted as well

I posted my new song under songwriting, but was not sure if the same "Chordians" monitored this section.  Since I love the Friday Blues posts.... always great stuff on here, I thought I would post it here as well.  It is country blues for sure... hope you like it and honored to be able to post on Friday Blues Fix !! smile

like the arrangement very much !  reminds of the Beatles song, Norwegian Wood, a bit.  The lyrics are very well done !!!!  loads of emotion, thoughts going in several directions, just as one would imagine in such a scenario.

Well done my  friend from Wales !

Phil,

nice song -  not too many buskers in upstate NY , but I really enjoyed your work.  I sit on my porch and play.... wave at people as they drive by.   I think my wife offered to put $$$ in my case if I would just play and not sing ! smile

Can't help but laugh when I read the lyrics -    I am sure there are a thousand towns that that have that scenario.  Thanks for the smile.

Well I re-wrote it again, I think I improved it - Changed the title for the third time.  Used 1st capo - played it on my new Martin - sounded pretty good. even though it's sad, I tried to make it more " hopeful" smile   If anyone out there happens to try it and record it - send me a copy.

Omg.  So not what I expected- but I love it !!!! The perfect song for gardeners world wide !  Love to see a verse added with Roma's and Big Boys !  Great song!:)

I made a change in the chords to make the song much more country.  Just a sad ol' cowboy song about a man losing his wife of many years. (Couple of small lyric changes as well.  (Sorry about making it blues at first. )  I'm not a good singer so can't really put it out there.
