Music for your heart and soul.
Not really what you could call a band. It's just me! Music has always been a passion of mine. I have been playing one instrument or another since I was big enough to sit at the family piano. I played tenor sax in my high school band and played around a little with the guitar. I found six strings to be a bit too much and I soon picked up my first bass. Bass guitar seemed to be perfect for me. After I got the hang of the bass the six string didn't feel nearly as awkward. I started out playing in garage bands like most everyone. I played in club bands for many years until I got totally burnt out from the road and dealing with club owners. Sure I miss the live performances but now days I'm perfectly content to plug a guitar into my iMac and just do my thing.

Lyrics
You go your way I'll go my way You stay at home while I'm on the highway One of these days I'm going to show you Don't come to me because I won't even know you Hope some day you'll realize what you could have had And you should know that baby I'm not feeling sad And I have no regret because I have no debt What I've got I own myself Nobody tells me what to do No not not not not not even you I've owed it to my self for so long It's going to make me strong And I know that I can live without you And I know that I can live without you

Hi Gordy, I think you have a lawsuit against Sir Paul. I thought I saw you mentioned somewhere your brother wrote this in the 90's. Well Sir Paul has She's given up Tallking on Driving Rain in about 2001 or 2002 and the melody is exactly the same on the opening verses. You might be able to squeeze him. LOL! Very good production and your guitar work is excellent as well as a real nice tone you are getting. Good song all the way around with some very strong harmonies as well.

Hi Gordy, Love the rock guitar and runs in the correct places. Wonderfully arranged... Sad lyrics but life has it's ups and downs. Vocals are good, but in a few places it was hard to distinquished the words you and your back up singers were singing. It could my ears because I am not hearing the best lately... Overall great song... :)
