No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Lyrics
Lost Highway Leon Payne 1949 (Acuff/Rose) Alternate Chord Changes by Wade Farlowe Opening E/Emaj7 alternating leading into E/Em alernating E/Em D E/Em I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost E/Em D A For a life of sin I have paid the cost C E/Em When I pass by all the people say D E/Em Just another guy on the lost highway Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman's lies makes a life like mine On the day we met, I went astray I started rolling down that lost highway I was just a lad, nearly 22 Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord I take a cost, on the lost highway Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round On this road of sin are you sorrow bound Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway

One of my favourite - Woody Guthrie songs? You do a good job here too.

This is lot more than just a deck of cards and a jug of wine. I've heard this covered by many including a great version from Levon Helm. But you my Man, really added a one, two, three, punch! Great job deserving 20,000 stars! All the best to you
