Lyrics
High atop the mountain, I can see the valley far below, When life is troubling me, it’s a special place go, I can think more clearly, when I get to this place, It is so peaceful here, oh how I’d like to stay, The Mountain top’s my special place When I was four years old, I used to come up with my pap, We’d climb to the mountain top, I would sit there upon his lap, He would tell me tales of old as I bounced on his knee, Oh how I miss you Pap, those are fond memories, The Mountain top’s my special place I now have my own grandson, I soon will to bring him here, We’ll climb to the mountain top and smell this fresh clean air, I’ll set him on upon my knee, and tell him bout my Pap, About the stories he told as I sat on his lap, The Mountain top’s my special place. High atop the mountain, I can see the valley far below...

Nice tune, Kurt. It really takes you away to a special place. Reminds me of John Denver. :)

Hi Kurt, This song is very heartfelt and what pleasant memories you have. I dont know what your grandfather did in life but he was a success to leave you with the mountain top. Great additions by Tammy and mastering as well. Yes Tom Moore and I discussed taking a road trip. July 26th I know is not good for me. I am not even sure about the 19th. I will get with Tom and let you know. My problem is now with my work travel heating up I cannot even look that far down the road and make plans. So my best advice is to suit your schedule first and foremost and if we can do it great.

Kurt my boy, how are things? this is a terrific song and really flows with grace. As always the guitar and vocals are excellent and the strings in the back ground add a calming effect, top marks! Life here is hot at the moment as we're having a bit of a heat wave, as far as music is concerned i've got a CD waiting for two more songs to be recorded then it'll be finished, but i havent set foot in the studio for around two months now so i need to get my act together. I hope life is treating you and your family well my friend. Take care Danny

Hi sweety This is a lovely piece, love your words, your sweet guitar work, lovely arrangement, love it!!!! Well done once again, it's a beauty!! Thank you for stopping and listening to'Two Little Girls', your kind words always much appreciated. It was a hard one to write and to sing, very emotional. I am a sentimental soul and just wanted to do something special for Juls. Open mic nights are picking up slowly. Never had one last week as I was holidaying in the caravan by the mountains and the loch in the brilliant sunshine, had a fab time, just got home today. Next open mic is on 18th June and I've a few folks who say they will be there so fingers crossed it will be a success, as I think the pub are not so keen as they have not made a profit off me yet. I can only but try, if it fails, it fails, I won't be too disheartened. Anyway thanks again for coming by, always a treat to hear from ya. Take care stay in touch Love and hugz Dawny xxxxxxxxxx
