Some More Songs

 Since I taught my doggie a new trick ( = figured out how to record songs using a voice-recorder app on the phone and save in format I can embed here), I been messing around just sort of getting songs I wrote out there. The vocals may sound a bit out of breath, but then I am on only the second day of Paxlovid for having COVID right now (and while I stopped 5 years ago, there was still 30 years of smoking before that . . . but it's mainly the COVID that makes for the going out off-key so much in some places).


A Matter of Time 

(written sometime circa 1990 as freshman/sophomore in college)




One More Chance 

(written sometime 1994 through 1997 in second stint of college . . . this one has always been rough performance on guitar . . I can hear it much better in my head that I can do with my fingers on the neck, but there you have it anyway)




Roll On, Sister

(written sometime around maybe 1995; sometimes you keep a song around for one line in hopes you get around to bringing the rest of it up to that level from merely passable and predictable, and on this one it's "it was late November or a time of year I can't remember when you disappeared" . . . I don't think I ever got the rest of it beyond fairly common and predictable, but not too bad)




Wake Me

(written sometime 1994 through 1997 in second stint of college)
