I never knew Dion played the blues.
These songs are excellent - especially the one with Van Morrison and J.L. Walker !
Thanks - I'll be listening to these today as I work at my house.
Happy Weekend !

I agree with Phill - you can't do this!
It's like working all night to get that first kiss and with lips a millimeter away - turn your head and walk away. 
Great suspense ! I think with some work it could become lyric.

Topic: New Song - The Creation (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I was sitting in my backyard admiring the trees and flowers, listening to and watching all the birds with my grandson.
I thought even in these miserable Covid times - I am still so blessed. After my grandson left I picked up my guitar and started playing around with some lyrics and came up with this. I think the tempo is about 120 BPM - but what do I know about music ? :)
The Creation by Jim Kenyon
[G]On the first day when God created Earth in all its beauty and [D]all its worth
[D]In all its worth for all to see, he the created the Earth for [G]you and me
[G]Next was the sun with rays so bright, lit up the sky with [D]Heavenly light
[D]Oh, Heavenly light so all could see, beautiful creatures [G] living free
[G]Then came the night with clouds passing by, stars and the moon shining [D]in the sky
[D]’Shining in the sky oh so bright, angelic ’s beauty til the [G] morning light
.
.
Chorus
.
.
Oh [C]God Created [G]heaven [C]and [G]Earth, gave [D]every living thing a [G]heavenly birth
Oh [C]in all his glory from[G] up[C]a[G]bove, he [D]still watches over with [C]all his [G] love
.
.
[G]Then came the land, and the seven seas, animals and fish living [D]as they please
[D]Living as they please,it was so nice, yeah God had created a [G]paradise
[G]God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, gave them everything that [D]they’d be needing
[D]Oh he gave them everything they required , just about anything their [G]heart’s desired
[G] On the seventh day he sat back and took a rest, thought that the world was [D] truly blessed
[D] yeah the world was blessed and looking fine, he said now take care of this [G]world of mine
.
.
Chorus
.
.
Oh [C]God Created [G]heaven [C]and [G]Earth, gave [D]every living thing a [G]heavenly birth
Oh [C]in all his glory from[G] up[C]a[G]bove, he [D]still watches over with [C]all his [G] love

Yeah he [D]stillwatches over with [C]all his [G] love

play slow
[D]still watches over with [C]all his [G] love
hit each string on this last G
[D]still watches over with [C]all his [G] love

WOW ! JUST WOW !!
Crystal is awesome- what a voice - perfectly suited for the blues. I could not help think that she was a bit like Janis Joplin- only a better singer.
Every song on your list is performed stellarly.
Thanks so much for this find. A great way to start the weekend !

Phill
Yes indeed !
I am in awe of how fast time has passed by.
I want a "do over" ! I wish I could go back in time and just enjoy my kids more - seems I was always so busy.
I must admit I was jealous of my sons in law bc they got to marry my daughters - it's really hard to accept that anoter man can take your place after so many years of caring and protecting them.
Very cool song Phill - Darn - I wish I had your abilities !!
Hope you are well and not driving Ann too crazy !
We should collaborate again on something, I always love how you take my songs and make them magical !
Best wishes

Re: The New Cool. (3 replies, posted in Poems)
I loved the poem - quite an accurate glimpse of life today.
I can tell you, as a teacher - "online teaching" isn't teaching - it is just delivering information.
I need to be with the kids - the social interaction is an immense part of the learning process.
as Phill had ina song we did together - " take me back to the good ol' days" !
Nicely done Peatle !

A talented musician- loved the harp
It was a bit too much howling and yelling for me - I prefer my blues a bit mellower.
I wish I could play and sing like him - he is a showman for sure. Kinda reminds me of Van Morrison,
