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
The Balonie Blues Wednesday, June 15, 2005 Wade Farlowe (Spoken) In 3 - 2 1 Lead in 3 X G Turn on the tube and what'ya see C Tele's graphs and cable grams A You can change channels and try to flee D And don't have to give a damn G C Name and number your favorite anchor A D Daily life's gettin' kinda cankered G C E pluribus Unum, God Save the Queens little homies A7 D7 I'd have to be crackers boy, to buy that balonie (Refrain) C7 Now, I'm on a roll C7 F We're gettin' a piece of the slice G Oh, don't ya just know G7 C It's smellin' a taste of that spice C7 F Oh folks, tell me dear brother G I just can't take it G7 C I've got the Balonie Blues F G Sandwich me up another C A7 I just can't help it Dm D7G I've got the Balonie Blues Lead in 2 X G Guess it takes what I just can't hock C Runnin' where the big boys go A You can sell your snake oil by the crock D I don't even want to know G C Paint and powder your wares till Bill is bored A D That kind of life, I have abhorred G C Ad hoc and hobnob, display online telephony A7 D7 I'd have to be crackers boy, to buy that balonie Lead in 1 X G Must be what takes near a half hour C Packaged in an hour or two A Your stories sell till the newness sours D I don't believe what you do G C List and promo your names till John is flushed A D Makes a man's life seem kind of rushed G C Release and clamp down that last replayed testimony A7 D7 I'd have to be crackers boy, to buy that balonie

Hi Wade, Not how I missed commenting on this one. I had heard this a few ago and remember it well. Really like. I was watching Willie Nelson last night on PBS and I do hear some resemblence. Although I have to think your guitar is not quite as nice as his. LOL!

Ha ha Ha! You sure you aint related to Willie Nelson or something. You got that type of thinking right down. And its a very good way to think by the way!

I love this telivision inspired song!!!!!! The music is supernova great !!!! The rythm is steller and love the panning from left and right channels. Guitar work was sublime , both acoustic and bass. And the mastering of this production was top notch 100 percent!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with the statement this track presents. You have created a very profound song , original and unique. And ohhh so enjoyable! Candace and I give it a perfect score! LL&Peace through music...~ES~ To ~WadeStar~
