And if I go I just might stay
Live out my days

Great guitar song, clever lyrics, with to my ear, ( a touch of Billy Joel's lyrical reference to the famous). I enjoyed it immensely!

Thanks passion, I like your stuff too especially your recent cover of Dylan's Knock knock knockin.
I would like to say that the Billy Joel influence was purely coincidental but I'd be lyin ;-)

Why thank you, kind sir! Just finished a production version of that tune - maybe I'll post it someday. And yeah - how can we not be influenced by others great music & lyrics - EVERYONE draws upon someone some times (if not all the time) - including all of the legendary greats!

Nice tune! If there is a road back there, then this is the tune to play when we're on it! That looks like a killer axe man.... some kind of classic tele?

Thanks fulcanelli! Yes unfortunately I can't seem to find that road on Google Earth :-p
That axe is 'Alice' my first electric and she's a 1971 Tele.

Can't fault you on that one. Alice is sounding sweet! Google earth is censored anyway - it's one of the blurred out bits like the lost cities of the giants and that gigantic natural image of Michael Jackson doing the Moonwalk in the Mojave. :-)
