Julia's Piano (Original)

[Vanncad]

Heavy or light
you always sound right
your guitars are brill
the harmonies give me thrill
you're a songwriting god
this goes straigt to the piPod

I love to listen today
I really have to say
you are a crafty song guy
sweet sounds from the sky
I'll grab a beer and sit while
I listen, think dream and smile.

My stupid mics haven't worked for some time
But I'm smiling while reading your rhymes
So, Bluesberry and Geir
Please enjoy a beer
(If it's Corona, don't leave out the lime)

Gnasty - Yeah it feels good to get this one recorded. I almost forgot about this song. My daughter said she remembers me singing this to her when she was little. That made me feel even better.

Rick - I set the recorder on my bed (beside my sleeping cat), then I sat on the bed next to it. I had to contort my body so the guitar was probably 12 inches or so away from the mics. It was kind of awkward, but it was the only place quiet enough to record.
P.S. - You can hear my daughter drop a box of "FruitLoops" in the kitchen around the 1:19 mark. I love it.

Thank for listening!

A truly beautiful piece of music that makes me want to dig out my Jim Croce albums. Great accoustic sound, it sounds like I'm rattling a bag of nails when I try it. This is first class............Willie

I can't comprehend why, but I'm always amazed by your latest posted song. You achieve brilliance on each piece, yet I'm still surprised by the quality of not only the songwriting, but the delivery.

I want to be you when i grow up.
