Party On The Bayou
I was honoured that Phill ask me to help write this song by contributing some lyrics. I love the Cajun sound on this one. It also tells a good story about booze and an angry Granny with her grandson following in his layabout no respect for woman, father's footsteps. Guns and alcohol and nightly moonshine and music session's down on the bayou. I'm not sure if the boy has survived this episode?

Jim this one pulls at the heart strings you sure do know how to put together a song that tells a sad story well. The other Jim from Nashville vocal and backing perfect. Like your video also.

Since i haven't had a turn cuz life here's a small rendition after a hard time in my life. I have always just loved a man/woman with his/her voice and the guitar. Raw unplugged and give it your best. https://youtu.be/zb9h0FtNU-U
That is a good solo performance . As Arlo Gutherie said that has to be one of America's great songs known all over the world made famous by Elvis. A beautiful tribute to your daughter.

Thank you Jim
The worm and the apple in the video are now over 60 years old. Maree got that given to her as a school girl as part of a bank promotion trying to encourage kids to save. I am thankful that Phill took the time to help make this song with his exception voice, music and lyric writing talent.

[Bb] Oh you can't buy the things in nature.
[F] Things that are brought on [D7] by the sun.
[Gm] The colour of winter and the seasons.
[Eb] Oh yeah you think your [F] so sophisticated. [Gm]
[Eb] You only eat the [F] best things.... that are [D7] overrated.
And they'll kill you given time.
[Gm] You live your life in a fantacy...[Bb] sophistication.
[F] I tell you some of the [D7] best things in life are [Gm] free.
[Gm] Inside a rough exterior....[Bb] can beat a loving heart.
[F] There is a lot going [D7] on that you don’t [Gm] see.
[Eb] Oh yeah you think your [F] so... sophisticated. [Gm]
[Eb] You only eat the [F] best things.... that are [D7] overrated.
[D7] Believe me when I say to you.
[Gm] All the best things in life are free.
[Bb] Milk and honey and the olive trees.
[F] Birds and bees and the [D7] song of nature's all we need.

Topic: Ready To Roll (0 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Phill and I wrote this song and Robert Hall did the backing and sound engineering. Phill did the vocals.
This is the first take so Robert at a later date wants to make some slight adjustments to the backing. So the recording is not quiet up to what we want it to be . Phills vocals are brilliant on here Robert just wants to change the backing sound a bit .
