Great cover Richard.     

EB good guitar and vocals on that one.    Interesting observation on country music.

Jim I love the lyrics reading them I could hear a Johnny Cash voice going through my head singing your song. About forty years back in the late 70s I did a little bit of truck driving in Australia.  Many of the interstate drivers I met at truck stops  had lost girlfriends and wife's due to  the pressures of the job. I use to play a lot of Willie Nelson and Johnny cash type  tapes at night to help keep me awake when driving. Your song brought back some of the those truck driving memories to me. I cant wait to hear a recording of it.

Russell you got all the right ingredients on that video great song.     

Interesting song Beamer sounds like a guy been dumped due to treatment this lady received from another man. Also maybe her struggling to have a  good relationship after having been through a bad one.     

Cheers Jeff. This song is Phill's  magic working.  I wrote some of the lyrics. Everything else the mixing guitar and singing is all Phill. I feel honoured to have been part of this and how it turned out.  This is the magic of chordie and the internet two people, living  thousands of miles apart can combine to make a song.

Thank you everyone for your comments. An old work colleague of mine from a few years  back heard a copy of Phill doing Candy Shop which I shared with him yesterday. He told me even though it is something we made up it perfectly  tells the story of him, his mother and philandering father. He told me his fathers last few years before he died were  spent living alone as years of heavy drinking had caught up with him. He also mentioned his dad had been a womaniser most of his life who treated woman badly when drunk. He also cheated on them all. Anyway with Candy Shop he loved Phillis singing and guitar plus the fact it summed up his family situation perfectly. It is another good  metaphor for  telling a story about how we reap what we sow. Thank you Phill for making a song with mine and your lyrics  and turning it into something that is very  special.

Welcome  fritty  good to have you here. There is great bunch of people on here from all around the world with diverse backgrounds a great pool of knowledge and new ideas.     

Beamer your 12 string sounds good. Your lyrics work good I can hear many who have found that special one relating to your lyrics. I am sure your song will take on a personal meaning for those who have hit the jackpot and don't need anyone else to have a love affair with.

Phill  for me it is like the Dr John song "Right Place, Wrong Time" I got Maree so I don't need to worry.  I like your title for a song More Girls Than Boys.  I will add a couple of lines and leave it up to someone else to add the rest or just delete my added bits.

What your worried about son.
In my days it was hard to get  one.
All that free candy.
All so handy.
Just waiting for you.
Odds in your favour with so many different flavours.
With more girls than boys.
I got good news.
You get to choose.
The candy shop is well stocked for you..

Good find CG  love Of Angels track stood out to me.
