Texas

My bluegrass song! I play banjo as well as mandolin on this one.

I fall in and I fall out of love
People ask me what I'm thinking of?
All that pain and all that sorrow
Will'ya still love me tomorrow?
Play the tune on my guitar
Always dreamed I'd be a star .........

We pay our dues in strange venues
The agent never checks us
We don't rock like ZZ Top
And we don't come from Texas.

I once loved a girl her name was Ruby
I believed that she once loved me truly
'Til I saw her from the stage
All dressed up like Betty Page
Laughin' with the boys and flirtin'
I was up on stage and hurtin' .........

I got stuck inside a five piece band
Every night another one night stand
Singing songs for Peggy Sue
Lost my heart in Blue Bayou
Lots of fans and adulation
But not much remuneration ......

This is top notch music right here - makes me want to rip all my instruments off the wall and donate them. You guys are GREAT, I mean really GREAT! I totally loved like this. Who's the maker on the mandolin if you don't mind me asking? Mark

[MandolinJackFlatt]

Hi Mark: the mandolin's a 1960's Hoyer (boot sale £50!!) ... oh, and "guys"?? It's just me I'm afraid, overdubbed on everything!

Thank you for your great feedback - I really appreciate it.

You are the best! That was unbelievably good. Straight to my favourites and subbed. Loved the backing and great song. Liked your rhyming of 'adulation' and 'renumeration'. Don't hear those two come up very often. Thanks for sharing Eric. 5*****

As your 1000th viewer, I give you 1000 thumbs up on this one! Great song, love the energy. Love the dark atmosphere and lighting but what lies behind those shades?
