Helena very nice sentiments and the lyrics are crafted as carefully as the architects that toiled to construct this dome.russell

Helena that was a very moving tribute and I can see why you attended so many shows thanks for this mornnings good thought and I am part irish on my fathers side and maybe thats where I get my appreciation for this lovely music and outlook on just how fleeting life is.

Phil I got over the pain several times its a recurring event and I didn't consciously intend to go biblical the words kinda popped into my head so I wrote them down I was searching for a title and settled on the second line "your eyes do betray you windows to your soul"as a theme for the whole song and we are like minds when it comes to out love of music thankyou

Helena thank you I think what pleases you sounds great to me well if you agree with phil then I guess it is biblical I value both of your opinions and friendship so who can say how the words came to me I do not openly endorse any faith mine is a one to one relationship thats all i can handle and im glad you enjoyed this

Totally_unique13 very kind of you I may need a good press agent some day and I know where to look

Thanks Roger yep its another "park bench" inspiration I was sorta in a Neil young mood and this was the result I have two more and I will try to get one up today and as long as the weather cooperates I will find my way down at the lake on my favorite bench pickin and grinnin and videotaping so I wont forget the feel and chord changes and make a few bucks on the side,thats the plan and thanks again for the nice comments

James I visited your page and sparkling was playing nice feel there you must be using some of that "elbow grease" on the auto harp this song is a fun tune to play over nice work on the lyrics

kap much appreciate it seems a lot of good songs have been posted by chordie members including yourself must be in the stars( hmm thats sound like a title for a song) I checked out your link to the program and im on my vista puter so I didn't get to listen to the samples (no quick time or flash player) at least I dont think I have a flash player but when I get on my xp I will give a listen thanks again for the nice comment

Way to go Randy! I didnt even know that one

Circle the wagons! the natives are restlesss I did get a few minutes nice layers of sync tracks glad I had time listen nice song ark

Ark thanks for your thougnts,yes I still find time to write and record I have 2 more that will be finished this weekend and I will upload them, I visited your page and enjoyed the new look and songs looks like this new recording method is working well for you and if you get the time accept my invite on gmail it would be nice to communicate live in real time and I could pick your brain a little on the audacity program

Sell the electric and go with what you feel you can best express yourself with.You feel more comfortable with the accustic thats why you always grab it first so why fight it

Thanks kap I do appreciate that, this song took a lot more time to put together. I had a basic chord progression and no words then I remembered a video I made of myself playing a rough version of the chord changes when I was sitting at the lake kinda busking ( I made 8 dollars) enough for ice cream and a store bought pizza, and i wrote the changes down from the video and the 1st verse and after that I had a easier time arranging the rest of the song but the mixing took the longest it usually will being the last step sometime I'm gonna plunk down the bucks for some studio time and let somebody else who gets paid to do it take the reins then all I will have to do is play and sing,I have a friend who owns traxx studios in mequon wisconsin we were in the same band quite a while ago and remained friends for the last 30 yrs he offered me a really special rate something like $35.00 an hour and.........I think I will take him up on his offer his equipment is the best in the industry and his studio is the only grammy winning studio in wisconsin and is located only 10 miles from me ive done some commercials for him so he owes me a few favors and working with top notch session musicians,well it dont get any better then that

Hey Daddycool thanks a lot for your comment, sorry to hear about your flash player puters can really be an inconvience at times hope ya get it sorted out
