At last - a new song

Never really thought too much about it when I wrote it in the last post but the title did sound like a cue for a song. Now it's has been quite a while since I penned any but having started this blog, that was one of the ideas.... to get me writing again. So I took the title and sat down with my guitar and started singing. If it sounds old fashioned then that's because I am only a couple of years off my pension. I didn't really decide on the style but the metre and length of the line took me to a sort of country-rock. The words aren't very elegant,  the tune is simplistic and the guitar part is almost non-existent, so far, but at least it is the first for a long time and so I have recorded it on my digital camera ( going to have to do better now I have a blog to write for), and posted it on YouTube. here it is in all its glory:- BTW do you like the get up?






Hope you take it for what it is and enjoy it. I must sort out a better solo ( ?) for that guitar break! thanks for visiting.

  1. Morning John,

    I miss live music so much, my husband and his band used to play in the basement. I am always in awe of anyone who can create and play music of any kind and I know the guitar is hard to play. Sounds great to me!!! Need to turn the volume up a lot though, annoy the neighbours LOL

  11. thanks for all you comments, it really does me a world of good. BTW how old does one have to be to wear a flat cap? I am only a couple of years off my OAP status! It was good enough for Chas and Dave.
