Happy cold old February to you too !
I have done what you described - thinking " I'm a genius"   only to discover there are 10 songs that already play that sequence.  However, wht I do like is to noodle around with them and then just change a few chords or change the strum and  come up with something of my own.  The great music analyzer Strummerboy Bill once told us in a post -" it's what we all do, steal a bit here and there, make a few changes, and call it our own ! smile   I sure miss Bill .

I'm working on learning California Dreamin' by the Mamas and Papas ---seems appropriate song right now as I look out my window at snow falling and 20 degrees showing on the thermometer.
Just remember every Feb day is one step closer to summertime!!  (at least in the Northern Hemisphere!)
Take care - and say Hello to Ann for me !
Jim

you tube made a change - it has something to do with  is the content suitable for children. If it isn't - no comments are allowed.    It's something like that - but I'm not totally sure.

That is absolutely fantastic!
The world needs more people such as yourself and your group.
Congratulations on your performance, but even more so on your actions as a
compassionate fellow human being. 

Well done sir- proud to be one of your admirers!

This guy is excellent !!!

I came across this one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVaEEJBwuXc    as I was listening to the others you listed.
It is so good!
these are the lyrics to it

Drift away, from your worries
Drift away, from all your cares
The storm is raging, it’ll be over soon
Let it go and drift away

Carry on, through the hard times
Carry on, through the strife
The darkness is fading, it’ll be morning soon
Let it go and carry on

When you don’t know what to do
When you don’t know who to be
When you don’t know where to go
When the end is so hard to see

Drift away, from your worries
Drift away, from all your cares
The storm is raging, it’ll be over soon
Let it go and drift away

When you don’t know what to do
When you don’t know who to be
When you don’t know where to go
When the end is so hard to see

Thanks for this gold mine of great music.
Jim

cool Richard - looks like a lot of fun.

I only wish I was good enough to play in public as such.

Congrats.

P.S.  Did those fires affect the area you live in ?

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

Pawnee Creek  by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.


[Em]up in the Northland near Pawnee creek


met me a woman made my knees grow weak


I fell so hard I nearly lost my mind


[B7]made me feel so good, then she[Am] left me be[Em]hind



Verse 2


.


[Em]we shared a cabin down by Pawnee creek


I fell in love for about a week


she was a hard luck woman with killer eyes


[B7]her bed was warm, but her [Am]heart was full of[Em] lies



.




Chorus


[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek


[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek


[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly


[B7]mystery and shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky



[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name


[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same


[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek


[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek




.



Verse 3


.


[Em]Up in the tall pines near Pawnee creek


I still hear her voice, though she doesn’t speak


Oh, We loved, we loved,and we loved some more


[B7]but then that witchy woman snuck [Am] out the [Em]door




.


Chorus


[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek


[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek


[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly


[B7]mystery and shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky



[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name


[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same


[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek


[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek




[B7]oh how I miss that woman


[B7]oh how I miss that woman


[B7]oh how I miss that woman ..........


from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek




end with a walk down B string 2nd fret, B string open, G string 2nd fret, G string open, to EM strum

Russell

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

Russell
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. smile

Thank you fellas !

It's a doo wop throwback love song from  the fifties I think. smile
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  sad   

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.   smile  Looks, mouth movements, and song performance ( less the hip gyrations smile  )
Good stuff my friend !
Thanks for sharing

Came up with this this morning thinking about the first night I ever spent with my wife (of 36 years).

Love At First Sight by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1




[G]My heart is burning, can you [Em]feel the flame


[C]every time you touch me and [D]say my name


[G]Each kiss and touch makes me [Em]love you more


I [Am]swear I’ve never felt this [D]way before [D]




[G][Em] [C][D]


.


Verse 2




[G]Love’s one desire is to [Em]join two hearts


[C]It doesn’t matter how that [D ]fire starts


[G]give your love freely and [Em] have no fears


And [Am]let happiness roll [D] through the years [D]




.



Chorus


[C]Do you believe in love at first sight ?


[G]Can there be magic in just one night ?


[C]Is it destiny, the fate of souls ?


[Am]You never know what [D]love controls




[C]Do you believe in love at first sight ?


[G]Is there magic in the air tonight ?


[C]Is this how it’s supposed to feel


[Am]Is this love and [C]baby is it [G]real ?



[Am]Is this love and [C]baby is it [G]real ?


.


Verse 3




[G]How am I to know what [Em]tonight’s begun


[C]When one heart is both and [D]bothare one


[G] I want to hold you close, and [Em]make you mine


I’ll [Am] love you tonight, and [D]for all time [D]







.


Chorus


[C]Do you believe in love at first sight ?


[G]Can there be magic in just one night ?


[C]Is it destiny, the fate of souls ?


[Am]You never know what [D]love controls




[C]Do you believe in love at first sight ?


[G]Is there magic in the air tonight ?


[C]Is this how it’s supposed to feel


[Am]Is this love and [C]baby is it [G]real ?




[Am]Is this love and [C]baby is it [G]real ?


slower


[Am]oh I think this is love and [C] baby I'm sure it's [G]real
