Russell is that kinda, sorta like The "Devil" and "Develed" eggs ? oops! sorry , also Nice work Jody !
Re: Canyon of The Dead
Hello guys-n-gals, guess I have deviled egg on my face,,, oops! Develed egg. lol
Ok, I did a lousy job proof reading this one, sorry. I did try to put my best foot forward,
and put my soul into writing this song though! I guess it does have a Ghost riders feel to it.
But, that wasn't what I was trying for. I just wanted to write something different.
I now have it recorded and on YouTube. www.youtube.com/jodywayne47
My voice-box is just about gone, so the quality of singing is bad. "I'm sorry"
But, you should be able to get a feel for what the melody is.
Thanks everyone, jodyWayne

Hi wlbaye, I know you was havin fun. No harm done and absolutely no offense taken. I just plum forgot to proof
read this one before I hit the submit button. I got a good laugh out of this too. I appreciate everyone taking the
time to look, and to leave comments. And, a little razzin now-n-then is good humor, good for the spirit.
Thank you, thank all of you, jodyWayne
ps: I hope you like the song. I like it when the bad guy turns good, and then the good guy wins. pretty cool
Re: Canyon of The Dead
hi jody,
i read through your words first and i could hear the guy who sang "boy named sue" (i've forgotten his name, old age creeping up on me!) so then i played it on youtube and it was totally different to how i heard it. i think it needs to be more beaty with a faster rhythm. the song itself is a great narrative.
fine work

Re: Canyon of The Dead
Hi Phill, "Boy named sue" was recorded by "Johnny Cash". You are exactly right. "Canyon of The Dead" should have a more prominate beat and a faster rhythm. The reason it didn't when I sang it is because I have a problem in my larynx, and I can't control my vocal coards like I should. I tried to sing faster and louder, but it was a disaster. I hope to be better soon, but for now i'm very frustrated!!!
Thank you for your input sir.
Re: Canyon of The Dead
Hi jody
I'm sorry to hear you have problems with voice etc.
As I was listening to your song I felt the spoken parts came through a lot more clearer than those that you were singing.
I just thought that perhaps you could do a sort of Leonard cohen type rendition where most of the song is spoken instead of being sung. As the narrative is the impotant thing in your songs being able to sing becomes secondary to getting your story over.
Anyway just my thoughts.
well done on a nice piece of writing.

Hi ark, Thanks for your concern.
All or almost all spoken may not be a bad idea. I'll work on that and see what I can come up with. Take care, jodyWayne
