Howdy Dave! Have spent the last 3 days in the process of recovering from a System Defragmenter virus that left my main PC inoperable due to the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. Fortunately my laptop is still available. Thought I'd listen to some of your tunes while I am 'Recovering'.
Nice tune... Tonight, a couple of your tunes reminded me of Paul Simon. Great stuff my friend.
Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year Holiday Season to you and your loved ones!
@doulos737 Cheers Ron just finished recording this and 6 other tracks in a professional studio for release on itunes. Got some other musicians helping me out so its sounding all pretty good I think. Had a fiddle around with your track the other night but not 100% happy with my efforts yet, will send on once happy with it. Have a good Christmas Ron, I cant wait till tomorrow when we have our carol service its the best part of christmas for me! Be blessed and keep warm
@davemorag1 Hi Dave! Wow,sounds good my friend. I look forward to hearing the newly recorded releases of these songs with the additional accompaniment. Thanks for the continued efforts and update on my track. I look forward to it as well. Yes, CHRISTmas is upon us. Enjoy your carol service and celebration with your loved ones. Yes, we do have a White Christmas this year, which I enjoy as long as the roads are clear and safe.
Dave, I don't know whether I already posted how much I like this song. To be on the safe side: Really great song, guitar playing, lyrics, singing and video!
Every time I listen to this I think that was a great line and then the next one comes and I think that was another great line and it just keeps happening over and over again.
Yeah, you're probably tired of hearing this but everything you do is just perfect. The vid, the tune, the chords, the playing, vocals......you're one talented fellow.
Oh my goodness, I think I have heard the best one until the next one appears on youtube.. I realise there is no end to your talent. Lovely ringing sound from the geetar there but your are just as talented with the shovel, what a combo!
Most enjoyable. I'm sorry for being slow to watch & comment on this song, Dave; I went away for a long weekend & it's taken me a while to catch up. You've produced yet another superb song here. As always, your guitar playing and singing are a delight to listen to & your lyrics are spot on - 3 months of daily commuting to London in 1971 convinced me that the big city was not for me! Jock's channel is brilliant and I've subscribed; I hope lots of other people do, too.
Great song, Dave. Thanks for the credit in the info.
Immaculate guitar as always - I think you're getting better! I agree with the Paul Simon comment. The construction of this song equals Paul Simon at his best.
Good job, man.
P.S.That could have been me driving one of those buses in your video.
hi dave. i like that you are able to take as the ssed a simple, daily event that we all encounter, and musically, you turn that simple experience or judgment, into something so much more interesting, thought provoking and satisfying as art. for example, your song about a couple sharing a cup of coffee i think it was, and this song is the same delivery of talent. you take a comment that many of us have thought, but, via fine writing and beautiful guitar and vocals, reflected beauty. chuck.
Wow is right! You've expressed in your song what we all feel everyday; working in a cubicle with no windows, no radio, no inspiration! GREAT song - BRAVO! You give us hope :)
Lots of great singer-songwriters on Yt and not many if any better than you!! Got to agree with Jason and I think I mentioned on a previous post we should be paying to watch you perform!!
WOW! This is a classic. Perfect. Amazing writing and performing. I don't see why you even have a day job. I know what you're talking about though. It's like selling your time for a little bit of nothing. Bad trade. No adventure or inspiration or risk. I've been wanting to write about this but I'd never have been able to do it like this. Great work.
I love the cool effect,you're like a ghostly figure in the background singing your song and doing your thing Dave! :)) I love the song!! You have a great way with beautiful music and great lyrics my brother! Love the words,I feel them. Great way of putting it,the way the cares and stress of the world can cage us. You're one of the best fingerpickers I've heard! Wish I could do that. :) You sing so well and perfect for this style of folk song. This rocks,you're awesome my buddy! :))
Very nice guitar work on this one Dave. I really liked the catchy melody and vocal. I put your video in the "Acoustic Vocal Apr2010" list on The Songwriters Collection Channel.....Kathy
Nice voice. And great song. thanks for sharing!
