can we change Wichita lineman for Texas lineman?
if it snows that stretch down south wont ever stand the strain. just a line from one of my all time fav songs
guess you could but it was a crew from Alabama who repaired our line today after 5 days in the dark

here in South Wales we don't see much snow but over the last week or so we've had minus temps. I remember it being cold when i was a kid, rivers 200 feet wide freezing up, black ice etc, but i don't remember it being as cold as it is now...so what happened to global warming?
i recall in the 70,s it wasnt global warming there was a new ice age coming
goes to show dont believe everything they tell you

Re: A Little Faith (24 replies, posted in Songwriting)
great collaboration guys ,
my thoughts on the rhyming purely uneducated also , its nice if it rhymes but not essential as long as it flows. I cheat when I write I use a program that finds words that rhyme.

Harlan county is a great song, tells a great story i also have some family connection to Harlan county .I think the ones who have influenced me the most as of late would to be guys like James McMurtry, Robert Earle Keen, and not not who does their writing but the Turnpike Troubadours

I always thought with my little knowledge that Texas was a hot climate with lots of desert areas. Then the other night on TV here they showed a big motorway crash in Texas with trucks and cars sliding in the ice. We are having a cold wintery summer here not sure what's happened to the climate.
that accident was caused by black ice on the elevated high ways road ices up on the over passes and you cant see it.
wish i knew how to post a picture its a winter wonder land around here right now

Early in the month we got 6" of snow. My snow blower decided to quit working so I had to spend two hours with a shovel. Three days later we got 4" so it was back outside again for snow shovel duty. Then four days after that we got 3" which required more shoveling. Woke up this morning and had to clear another 3" of the white stuff. About an hour ago it started coming down again and another 3"-5" is predicted by morning. ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
yeah but you live damn near in Canada thats normal i am talking Texas, its going to be 0 freaking degrees in TEXAS tonight ill repeat that 0 freaking degrees .5 inches of snow last night thats 10 inches in the month of February that 8 inches more than we have had in like 30 years total. cant shovel snow here dont have a snow shovel i really dont know you function in this crap .

another cold wet rainy day in texas and this is the result

G Am
knew a man he played the blues
C G
he didnt have much time
G Am
sit down and listen close
C G
tell you whats on my mind
he sat there and looked away
quietly he began to play
closed his eyes and owed his head
looked at me and finally said
life is long but time is short
the road goes no where
you never know what life will bring
some times its hard to care
strummed a chord on his old guitar
said wish upon a star
make a wish and make it good
wish for what you think you should
think about the road your on
think about where you are
think about the one you love
before you go to far
then he bowed his head again
i knew it was over then
quietly he played along
lost the words to another song
the lights go dim and darkness comes
the day is at its end
i think about the songs we played
i think about my friend
sung so soft i cant hear it now
time to take a bow
with a peaceful look on his face
put the guitar back in its case
