Thanks you all.

Roger, you are right. I've just raised the bar for myself here so no halfway recordings from now on.

For those of you who are interested, Mike Trella is the musical talent on the song as well as the man behind the curtain who got it polished. He is one of my friends on my myspace link above and he also plays with Politicks who I've mentioned here before and are also friends on my page. Please have a look and listen to their music as well if you get the chance.

Oh yeah, the finished version of Grey Skies is up on my page now too.

Toney - I know you will likely prefer the acoustic version but I think both are pretty good as he didn't skimp on the backing. Drums, bass and lead guitar are all played from the actual instruments and not synthesized from a box.

Hey Toney - John Prine is a favorite of mine. I was listening to his song Sam Stone the other day and marveling at how a song can be so seemingly simple and yet have such a deep meaning as well. Thank you very much for the compliment.

I try and write songs that take someone who is playing the song or listening to the song to another place in their mind. I guess it could be like relating to a similar memory or better yet picturing a story I’m trying to tell in the song but if I can bring a picture to someone’s head I think I’ve done my job and the better the picture they get the better job I did.  Anyway that’s what this song is about and I hope you like it.

About an experience that I [G]had [Em]


That disappointed in the [C]end [Am]


But how should I be[D]gin




Verse 4


Better yet a song that’s [C]crazy [D]



About goofing off or being [G]lazy [Em]


It doesn’t have to mean a [C]thing [D]


Just a song I like to [G]sing

I think I’ll paint a meta[C]phor [D]


About something I a[G]dore [Em]


Like writing songs that catch your [C]ear [Am]


And paint a picture you can [D]hear




Verse 6


I hope I paint my lyrics [C]true [D]


So that a picture comes to [G]you [Em]


As you hear the words I [C]sing [D]


I'll Imagine what you’re pictu[G]ring

I [C]hope you get to [D]see it just like [G]me

Hey Toney - I would like to take credit for all of it but for this I just did the singing and my friend Mike Trella arranged, played all the instruments and made it what it is. I just had to worry about the singing this time which was enough and took a good long while to get down and synced up and yes I overdubbed the vocals as was the harmony.

Just watching the flakes and smelling the damp cold snowy air tonight made me think of all those times growing up when it would snow and all the joy that brought. I hope you all like the song.

First Snow of the Winter By Jeff Gilpin


December 5th, 2007




Verse 1


[G]First snow


[CMaj7]Of the [G]winter


[CMaj7]I re[G]member


[CMaj7]Early De[G]cember


It [D]didn’t have to [C]stick a[G]round


It was [D]just great [C]watching it come [G]down


[D]Watching the flakes all [C]floating to the [CMaj7]ground




Verse 2


[G]Childhood


[CMaj7]Days re[G]membered


Like they [CMaj7]never [G]ended


Old [CMaj7]age re[G]scinded


[D]Looking [C]back at snowy [G]days


The [D]smell and [C]chill come back through the [G]haze


[D]As my [C]spirits seem to [CMaj7]raise




Chorus 1


[C]Man life was [G]simple then


The [D]only war [C]was a snowball [G]fight


The [C]sheer magic of watching [G]snow falling down


Still launches my imagination into [D]flight




Verse 3


[G]Sledding


[CMaj7]Down a [G]hillside


[CMaj7]Had some [G]wild rides


[CMaj7]I can’t [G]decide


Which [D]I liked better [C]riding or wiping [G]out


[D]Both I guess but [C]I really [G]doubt


I [D]really know [C]what it was all a[CMaj7]bout




Verse 4


[G]It wasn’t just



A[CMaj7]bout the [G]snow


Of [CMaj7]that I [G]know


But [CMaj7]even [G]so


The [D]snow was just a [C]reason to be a [G]kid


[D]Messing around and [C]doing what we [G]did


Like [D]when we got called [C]in and just [CMaj7]hid




Chorus 2


[C]Man life was [G]simple then


Those [D]flakes [C]floating down just like [G]cotton


You [C]felt like you were stuck in a [G]snow globe


Times like that aren’t easily for[D]gotten




Verse 5


[G]That’s enough


Of [CMaj7]looking [G]back there


Not [CMaj7]that I [G]don’t care


[CMaj7]But it’s [G]not where


I [D]am right now or [C]plan on going [G]to


Those [D]days were great but I [C]still have quite a [G]few


More [D]years left with [C]tons of stuff to [CMaj7]do




Verse  6


It [G]won’t all


[CMaj7]Be like [G]magic


But [CMaj7]if I [G]can pick


[CMaj7]And I can [G]trick


My [D]mind into for[C]getting times less [G]fun


And re[D]membering [C]more of my time in the [G]sun


I’ll be [D]satisfied [C]when my day’s are [CMaj7]done




Chorus 3


It’s [C]funny how the [G]simple times


Are the [D]ones you re[C]member and hold [G]dear


[C]Like the first snow of the [G]season


That comes round only once a [CMaj7]year

Grey Skies - Acoustic is now up on my page. I broke down and went to my friend's house and recorded this in his home studio. He has loads more experience at recording and he is very particular on getting it right so this has taken quite a while. Stop by and have a listen and if you like it feel free to download the song.

A long time ago I helped out a friend delivering papers. I got car sick with all the driving around and swore I would never do it again. Even knowing what a pain-in-the-butt job it is I still find myself sometimes complaining about my paper being a little damp or not thrown in the right spot. So this song is dedicated to those unsung heroes, the newspaper delivery men and women. I hope you like it and I hope you are generous with delivery person this year too.

Thanks you two.

Jase - I might but to do it right does take a while and I've settled in the past and ended up with songs that were not as good as I can do them. I do have quite a few queued up and this will go into the queue. 

Lena - Yes, very frustrating to want something and be seemingly unable to do anything about it. One of the reasons I write is to get the frustration out.

When I visit James' Myspace Page and listen to his music I can help feel a bit of nostalgia. I grew up listening to bluegrass music that I just thought of as music at the time and there were all sorts of instruments that I don’t hear very often in much of today’s music. So this is my way of saying thanks to James for giving me a low cost trip back in time.

I have a nephew who had a son while he was still in high school and he had to grow up pretty fast to deal with it. Now he's in college and I think he's doing much better than he would have I think if he hadn't had his son. That made me consider how my family and specificly having children effected my life. My kids are now in serious relationships so I'm sure it will not be too long until they start the same cycle.

In the morning I have to go in and do blood work for a physical I have coming up on the 4th and I’m well into the fasting part of the night, so I’m a little cranky. I cannot remember any time when I was a kid that I had to fast for anything. I also remember that when I was a kid I wanted to be older but I never thought of the down side of being older. Slowing down metabolism, old injuries coming back to remind me of them and the ever constant going to work to pay for all that needs paying for. So that’s where I got the idea which I originally titled Getting Old Sucks but later revised to what you see below. I hope you all like it.

The Young and the Old of It By Jeff Gilpin


November 29th, 2007




Intro


[C]




Verse 1


[G]A long time a[D]go


I [G]had this simple [D]dream


[C]When I grew [F]up


I’d do [C]almost any[D]thing




Verse 2


Well [G]here I am all growed[D] up


Way [G]past where I set my [D]sights


And [C]all those things I [F]planned


Well [C]I think I just [D]might…




Chorus 1


[C]Forget about them for now


Because I’m [Em]working in the morning


[G]Anyway it’s getting [C]late and I’m pretty [D]tired


If I did [C]some of those things I wanted


I’d most [Em]likely get bad hurt


And the [G]others would most [D]likely get me [G]fired




Verse 3


[G]Back then it [D]seemed


What you [G]got for being [D]older


Was [C]unlimited [F]access


To a [C]life that was much [D]bolder




Verse 4


[G]But as you grow [D]older



[G]You finally can [D]see


The [C]down side of [F]what


[C]Growing up can [D]be






Chorus 2


[C]Forget about it for now


My [Em]sights are on different things


[G]Like a little [C]time think and re[D]flect


[C]What I wanted as a kid


Now makes me [Em]shake my head and laugh


[G]Aging not quite [D]like what you’d ex[G]pect




Verse 5


[G]So as I pre[D]pare for


A[G]nother wellness [D]check


I i[C]magine the younger [F]me


Thinking [C]this is not cor[D]rect




Verse 6


[G]But the older [D]me


[G]Now has younger [D]dreams


[C]Of those yearsa[F]go


I could do [C]almost any[D]thing




Chorus 3
