Re: Close Your Eyes (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you fellas for taking the time to take another look at this.
Jeff - yes I liked the first version as well, but got noodling around and started singing it this way and it was just more comfortable to me.
EB - yeah that chord is an easy move from the A I was playing it and it sounded good - so I too looked up what it was actually called too.
The reason I have not been so active of late has been that my school called me back in to teach until they can find someone - the teacher they had quit 5 days before the start of school. Plus I am still coaching soccer.
Phill - thanks - I hope you do give it a go. I'm sure you would make it sound a lot better than I can ![]()
Peatle - Thanks for your kind words. tried to sneak in some analogies there.
again - thanks to all for the comments- much appreciated

Brian,
Do so ! That is brilliant stuff---- I'm telling ya the kindergartners loved it.
The teacher thought I wrote it at first and told me I should get it published - so it isn't just me.
The robot one was so clever as well !! You have a talent buddy, follow your passion!

Brian,
your poem was read to the kindergarten class at my school. They thought it was hilarious
I added their teacher's name to the lady that had socks stolen.
So - get it frigging published !

Neat little song.
Thought the music was well played. Song fits your voice nicely.
I think you tended to rush a couple of lines just a little bit though - but
you sing and play so much better than I can so what do I know
?
Nice job!
Keep'em coming

Re: a memory and a photograph (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Holy Cow Mojo !!!
That is an incredible song.
Get it on the radio or something - If Luke Byran wrote it and sang it it would be on the charts immediately !
The Lyrics, the melody, the performance, and your unique voice made this a pleasure to listen too.
Thanks for sharing.
Can you post the lyrics and Chords ?

I liked that a lot - thought he was excellent.
I have been away a week on vacation with my family - one of the best weeks of my life.
So much fun having all my kids and grandkids together in one place with my wife and I.
Topsail Island, NC - it is a paradise for sure
Thanks for posting this Peatle !

Graham- I wish I could sing and play like you or Phill - I would play every venue I could.
It looks like so much fun - even though I have seen a lot of idiots giving live music a bunch uncalled for crap.
Enjoy the ride man, I'm just a wannabee spectator!
