My wife is on a first name basis with the UPS delivery guy - he drops stuff off nearly every day.
It's ridiculous.
Nicely described.

Jeff,
I hope you you understood what I meant, it was your song that I was talking about that flows very well, I just was comparing it to the other.
Again, nicely done.

The music to this song is quite unique.... it took me to envisioning a soundtrack for an older movie- almost vaudevillian-style.
I could picture a singer like Al Jolson or Vaughn Monroe singing this.
(This is a similar song it reminded me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9WRwRdpl3k )
it nicely flows from one thought to another.
Well done.

Sounds like this knight needs a new castle to find a damsel that truly needs him.
Interesting correlation in the lyrics.
Get on your steed and ride, young man ride !
It seems the known keeps haunting the old castle. Search for new opportunity,
Just my humble interpretation.
Thanks for sharing - I'd like to hear how it is played and sung.
I'm sure it is "metalized" ( and oh the irony there - metal ARMOR, METAL SONG! 
) somehow

I am so pleased with this guitar. Even easy to play barre chords- which I struggle with usually.
JJJ - so good to hear from you ! You are at the top of the food chain on NGD for sure !! Hail to the King!
Beamer - I sure wish I knew how you metalize !!

It could be any major city - they all have danger zones.
There are some gangs and drug deals it makes it quite treacherous and savage sometimes.
Nice song -

Hey fellas
I rewrote this song... made lyrical changes mainly. Changes are in this post - i edited it.
Mainly the second verse - I didn't like it the way it was.
If I get a chance I will try to record it tonight so I can torture your ears a bit

Mojo
I too have lots of memories where cats that were sounding like lions.
When I was typing my thesis for my masters on a typewriter this old tomcat was at my door howling away
I shooed him away a few times, and finally instructed him that if came out again he was going for a ride.
sure enough - he came back and was howlng - i put him in the trunk of my car and brought him to my buddy's farm.
He stayed there for about the next 5-8 years - seemed to love all the other cats there.
Glad you liked the song. I'm gonna do a rough recording just so the guys that can actually play and sing can get
an idea of how it is in my head.
I also put the line about the ice cold beer flowing in their bc I thought being a Texan such as yourself, that would help en the bloc!
Take care

Mojo posted about having writers block for songwriting. Phill, Brian (easybeat) and I made a couple of quips
and I turned them into this.
Cryptic Trance by Jim Kenyon (with Help )
[C]trying to think of something important to write
But I [G] only hear the fridge and two cats in a fight
oh I'm [Am]starin’ at blank paper as it nears midnight
and it [F]seems the notes just [G]don’t sound [C] right
.
[C] waiting for my pen and paper to dance
but they're[G] just victims of this circumstance
it's like [Am]my mind's held captive in a cryptic trance
and it [F]seems that a song [G]doesn't have a [C]chance
.
Chorus
[C]Yea, I been [F]searching for words that never came
ya know, [C]everybody's candle burn's a different flame
so when the [F] strings get dusty and sounds seem wrong
just [G]wait, be [F]cool, and something good will come a[C]long
.
[C]been 3 days now, but feels more like a year
seems the [G]only thing that’s flowing is ice cold beer
oh I'm [Am] waiting now for the words to appear
but my [F] imagination has [G]somehow disap[C]peared
.
Chorus
[C]Yea, I been [F]searching for words that never came
