This sounds like it could be a track for a Hollywood movie.
I was picturing an advancing army of knights heading toward a castle.
This sounds awesome!
Way to go

Topsail, NC comes to mind right away!

He's real good. Love the resonator guitar - I almost bought one once - then my good senses kicked in and said you can barely play a regular guitar - what are ya thinking !

Thanks to Phill - he helped re-write and make the music component work.
I really like it - but then again I'm a bit biased
Hope you like it as well.
Much gratitude to PHILL !!!

They are excellent !
I liked the way the song changes - it's almost like they switch genres a couple of times. Superb guitar playing and the keyboard was top rate as well.
It is so sad that he died - I can't imagine the suddeness - went to a show the night before to watch another band play - was fine - goes home - then has a full cardiac arrest and dies.
40 is way too young - reminds of the song six strings down - angels done took anothe (blues) stringer back home"
good post TF TY

Re: Richmond Park (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
TF thanks for the kind words - it just comes easy for me - and i am always cognizant of phrases and comments that would be great themes. There are so many great contributors here on Chordie it seems to be easy pickens as such.
I play it in both keys of A and G and like it both ways.
Peatle - that was a great description of a time gone by in the area.
When I read about the park, it just seemed so peaceful and beautiful. Do you know if the deer and chestnut trees are still as prevalent ?
I did not realize the link between Captain Vancouver and the Canadian city ! Thanks for the history lesson.
Phill - interesting history regarding the King. Also, what or who is CNET ?
Thank you all for the positive feedback - I wish I could sing b/c I think this is really a beautiful little song that is happy and sad at the same time.
I can so picture a gentleman who has lost his life long partner walking through the park and thinking these words.
Thanks again ! Maybe if I get my courage up I'll record it.

He was really in a groove. Reminds of the the line from Springsteen's Thunder Road - " I've learned how to make this guitar sing" !
If I could fingerpick 20 % as good as that I think I could be famous.

Re: Weekend blues (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
reminds a bit of Kurt Cobain story a bit.
None the less... the guy was absolutely lights out musician.... He and Frampton were a classic pairing
If I remember correctly Frampton left the band around 1970-71
When I was in college in Pennsylvania in 1974 , he played as Peter Frampton - in our auditorium. My roommate talked me into going... had no idea who he was....Wasn't more than 200 of us idiots in there.
A year later he sold out the Cow Palace in San Francisco about 50,000 attended.... - his album " Frampton comes alive" was a mega hit !
He is 69 now and still on tour !
Love to see him again !

Re: Weekend blues (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Very tragic story of how he died.
Alcohol, drugs and smoking in bed - not a good combination.
I was just talking with a friend yesterday about all of the famous people that have
" made it" big and then find a way to screw it up and have it all taken away in a flash.

Topic: Richmond Park (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Well ...... I read Ctech and Angela's "stormy skies" post and then was looking around England on the internet since my daughter is there to be in her friends wedding and I found this beautiful park called Richmond. I've never been there but it sounds awesome. Then add Phill's post this morning about - " Hey what are you doing? " So I wasn't really doing anything - but as I was reading about the deer in Richmond Park I started to play my acoustic guitar a bit and it morphed into a 3/4 time little "waltzy" thing. Before I knew it I imagined a love story happening there. This is what I came up with !
Hope you like it and hope the park is as beautiful as it sounds.
Richmond Park by Jim Kenyon
[A]It was in a place called –Richmond park, where people gather and [E]talk
a girl like the wind, swept me off of my feet
I could barely [A]walk,
With clouds floating by in the deep blue sky,lying under chestnut [D]trees
She took my hand, then she [A]took my heart
She was[E] everything to[A] me
.
Chorus
[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park
Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free
[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park
[E]You brought true love to[A] me
.
[A]She was a vision of beauty just like Richmond park, I fell with all my[E] heart
her eyes and her smile reached into my soul, I knew
that we’d never [A] part
The years rolled along, like a ship on the sea, cutting through every [D]wave
Her voice and her laughter are still [A] in my mind
Oh such [E]memories to cherish and [A] save
.
Chorus
[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park
Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free
[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park
[E]A love that will always [A]be
.
[A]Twilight now falls on Richmond park, and I walk the paths a[E]lone
silence echoes in my ears, as
angels have taken my love back [A]home
The sky is dark ,it’s starting to storm, the rain helps hide my [D]tears
I’ll never forget how she [A]loved this place
As we [E]shared it through all of these [A]years
[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park
Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free
[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park
[E]Bring back my love to [A]me
(Repeat 2nd chorus)
[D]Oh Richmondpark, Oh[A] Richmond park
Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free
[D]Oh Richmondpark, Oh [A]Richmond park
[E]A love that will always [A]be
Slow
[E]A love that will always [A]be
[E]A love that will always [A]be
