Their site - almost all are sold out right now - unless you want an orange one smile
I'll wait for Russell's report 

You really can't beat the price if they are comparable.

I wrote this song this morning - I know what it means in my head - but I'm sure it can have a couple or more interpretations.

Thanks for taking a peek



The Girl in the Calico Dress by Jim Kenyon


.


[G]It was just a Sunday [D]morning like [C] all the ones be[G]fore


Nothing unfa[D]miliar, nothing [C]less and nothing more


There were [G]no signs, no [D]secrets, [C]nothing to cause alarm


There was [G]no indi[D]cation,she was [C]meant any [G]harm


.




[G]Time is so my[D]sterious, it’s [C]spellbound, and passes[G] by


It can it leave you [D]helpless, or [C] leave you asking why


There were[G] no poems [D]or songs, no [C]cryptic notes around


with no [G]answers to the [D]questions asked,no[C] reasons can be [G]found


.






Chorus


[C]She always looked so pretty when she [G]wore that calico dress


Oh her [D]eyes of blue, and lips so sweet, her [C]hair a red hot[G] mess


Yea she [C]stole my heart long ago, when she [G]took me by the hand


and [D]whispered sweet rhymes to me , only [C]she could under[G]stand




[C]she’s no longer with me Lord,[G]she’s in a better place


But I [D]still hear her laughter, see the[C] lines upon her [G]face


yea the [C]truth is, I miss her so, oh [G] that I must confess


And I’m [D]wishing I could hold the girl, who [C]wore the calico [G]dress


.







[G] I remember her first [D]smile, first [C] time I saw her[G] eyes


But sometimes the [D]warning signs are [C]hard to recognize


There were [G],no fore[D]warnings no [C]hints of the gathering storm


And it’s [G]left me in this [D] cold world, with just a [C] memory to keep me [G]warm


.




Chorus


[C]She always looked so pretty when she [G]wore that calico dress


Oh her [D]eyes of blue, and lips so sweet, her [C]hair a red hot[G] mess


Yea she [C]stole my heart long ago, when she [G]took me by the hand


and [D]whispered sweet rhymes to me ,only [C]she could under[G]stand




[C]she’s no longer with me Lord,[G]she’s in a better place


But I [D]still hear her laughter, see the[C] lines upon her [G]face


yea the [C]truth is, I miss her so, oh [G] that I must confess


And I’m [D]wishing I could hold the girl, who [C]wore the calico [G]dress




.




And I’m [D]wishing I could hold the girl, [C]who wore the calico [G]dress


I’m [D]wishing I could hold the girl, who [C]wore the calico [G]dress


How I [D]wish I could hold the girl, who [C]wore the calico [G]dress

Ok - I did this as an instrumental - to save your ears from hearing me sing  smile

I f you like it - I would love some one that can actually sing and play it to cover it - I'm just too sucky of a musician to make it sound good.

Can't Walk Away By Jim Kenyon


.




Verse 1


[Am]You said that your leaving, for something new


I never saw it coming, but I [Em]know it’s true


It’s like when a [Am]storm becomes a [D7]hurricane


And then it [Em]stops, and you wonder if it's [Am]coming again


,




Verse 2


.


This love seems to be a clever masquerade


a well thought out lonely [Em]heart’s club charade


seen the [Am]good times and bad, the[D7] best and worst


like [Em]swimming in the ocean while you’re [Am]dying from thirst


,


Chorus


,


[D7]Thunder’s rolling and the rain’s coming down


and the [Am] house that built me is crumbling down


oh I [D7]ain’t scared of nothing , won't run away


But I [B7] never thought I’d lose you un [D7]til to[Am]day




yea I’ve [D7]walked away from trouble in the past


and I’ve [Am] walked away from trouble just to make this last


oh, I’ve [D7] walked away from trouble , you know that it’s true


Yea, I've [B7]walked away from trouble, but I [C7] can’t walk a[B7]way from [Am]you




.




Verse 3


.


It’s hard for me to tell now who you really are



You treated me like wet change [Em] on a bar


seems that [Am]every day leaves me [D7]crying in vain


since you [Em] said I hold you back like a [Am] ball and chain


.




Verse 4


.


Even when I'm with you , seems I'm all alone


Your kisses are cold , and your [Em]heart is stone


your poisoned [Am]wordsnow haunt my [D7]every dream


and now I'm [Em] seeing things never were [Am]what they seemed


.




Chorus


[D7]Thunder’s rolling and the rain’s coming down


and the [Am] house that built me is crumbling down


oh I [D7]ain’t scared of nothing , won't run away


But I [B7] never thought I’d lose you un [D7]til to[Am]day




yea I’ve [D7]walked away from trouble in the past


and I’ve [Am] walked away from trouble just to make this last


oh, I’ve [D7] walked away from trouble , you know that it’s true




Yea, I've [B7]walked away from trouble, but I [C7] can’t walk a[B7]way from [Am]you


I've [B7]walked away from trouble, but I [C7] can’t walk a[B7]way from [Am]you


[B7]walked away from trouble, but I [C7] can’t walk a[B7]way from [Am]you


yea, I've [B7]walked away from trouble, but I [C7] can’t walk a[B7]way from [Am]you


.


slow


.


yea, I've [B7]walked away from trouble, but I [C7] can’t walk a[B7]way from [Am]you

Yes

It is Firefox that is the problem.  The songbook will print perfectly if you use Microsoft edge (or explorer) including the chord diagrams.
I have same issues with Firefox although that is my go to browser.

Happy cold old February to you too !
I have done what you described - thinking " I'm a genius"   only to discover there are 10 songs that already play that sequence.  However, wht I do like is to noodle around with them and then just change a few chords or change the strum and  come up with something of my own.  The great music analyzer Strummerboy Bill once told us in a post -" it's what we all do, steal a bit here and there, make a few changes, and call it our own ! smile   I sure miss Bill .

I'm working on learning California Dreamin' by the Mamas and Papas ---seems appropriate song right now as I look out my window at snow falling and 20 degrees showing on the thermometer.
Just remember every Feb day is one step closer to summertime!!  (at least in the Northern Hemisphere!)
Take care - and say Hello to Ann for me !
Jim

you tube made a change - it has something to do with  is the content suitable for children. If it isn't - no comments are allowed.    It's something like that - but I'm not totally sure.

That is absolutely fantastic!
The world needs more people such as yourself and your group.
Congratulations on your performance, but even more so on your actions as a
compassionate fellow human being. 

Well done sir- proud to be one of your admirers!

This guy is excellent !!!

I came across this one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVaEEJBwuXc    as I was listening to the others you listed.
It is so good!
these are the lyrics to it

Drift away, from your worries
Drift away, from all your cares
The storm is raging, it’ll be over soon
Let it go and drift away

Carry on, through the hard times
Carry on, through the strife
The darkness is fading, it’ll be morning soon
Let it go and carry on

When you don’t know what to do
When you don’t know who to be
When you don’t know where to go
When the end is so hard to see

Drift away, from your worries
Drift away, from all your cares
The storm is raging, it’ll be over soon
Let it go and drift away

When you don’t know what to do
When you don’t know who to be
When you don’t know where to go
When the end is so hard to see

Thanks for this gold mine of great music.
Jim

cool Richard - looks like a lot of fun.

I only wish I was good enough to play in public as such.

Congrats.
