Sure I'm always up for giving that a whirl - can't promise anything - but I would try it at least.

Topic: Song I wrote - Inspired by Russell (1 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I listened to Russell and his boys play the song Pawnee Creek ( no lyrics).
I could not get that out of my head for about two days.
I wrote these lyrics to it and finally added some chords.
I could never be able to play like those guys bc I'm not a very good musician so I just tried to give it a fast rhytym like their song was.
Anyway here it is.
I put my capo on 4th fret

I couldn’t get your tune out of my head- tells me its really good
Spent this morning working on the lyrics more
Here’s what I came up with { I have no clue what chords you guys were plying - this is just how I play it. I'm not much of a musician}
Feel free to trash it, change it, or use it
It’s just my interpretation of your music
I tried to play it fast like you guys were.
I had a capo on the 2nd fret also

I was thinking that as I listened. I was hoping for a old west storyline - as the Title Pawnee Creek suggested that to me right off the bat.
good luck with the lyrics.
as I listened to it I had this little verse pop in my head....
up in the Northland near Pawnee creek
I fell in love for about a week
she was a hard luck woman with killer eyes
her heart was warm, but full of lies
if you would like - I think i might be able to come up with more if I listen to a few more times.
Let me know - I'm certainly not trying to step on any toes here - I just like it a lot - just offering some of my thoughts after listening to it. ![]()

Re: Love at First Sight (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you fellas !
It's a doo wop throwback love song from the fifties I think. ![]()
It has a nice sound to it when I play through it - too bad that when I add my singing it doesn't go too well
ps = if anyone wants to see a great show about the development of music in the early sixties - go to NETFLIX and watch " Echo in the Canyon" - it is really,really good !

Her rendition of California dreaming was spectacular.
Amazing how she took one of the best folk/rock songs of all times and turned it into a jazzy / bluesy phenomenon
also,
watch the dream a little dream of me - and try not to picture her as Elvis Presley's daughter.
Looks, mouth movements, and song performance ( less the hip gyrations
)
Good stuff my friend !

Since owning guitars are somewhat of a passion here, I came across this - he is a favorite of mine.
Maybe some of you also have found players with great collections you would also want to shre ( or even your own.

Nora is a terrific musician
She can cover just about any song, any genre - make it a jazzy sounding hit.
Warm music on an extremely cold morning here in upstate New York !
Thanks for sharing.
