Far out .... Very trippy ,artsy, and beautiful. What is precipice? You are in a league of your own Mr. McCormick. Thanks for sharing.
Peace and Guitars,

Thanks, Southpaw! Glad you can groove upon my lyric.
Precipice is just the top of a very steep place - not the sort of place that is conducive to dancing.
"Just couldn't get no gription" came from something I heard a football coach say once. He was explaining why his team couldn't pass or run the ball during a very wet and muddy game. Apparently, the other team had plenty of 'gription' since they had no trouble racking up lots of points.
In life, one must maintain gription . . .
Hi James,
Another number one hit from you. It plays well and the lyrics just fall into place as you sing it. I am looking forward to hearing your recording of it.

Hi James
I read through your lyrics a few times and I'm not totally sure where your coming from with this one.
The lyrics are great and show your usual mastery of the English language.
Maybe I'm missing all the signs on this one.
Well done look forward to hear it recorded

Very cool, I tried this one with a choppy down up strum. Fun tune to do. Will look for your recording.

Excellent as always James,
Lots of thoughts jumped out at me, But some one having/or thinking of
having an affair ended up tops in my mind.
Dont forget to send here when recorded please.

Thanks for reading and trying to interpret this lyric - wish I could say there was some sort of deeper meaning to it all. Mostly, I was just having fun with words and riffing on the notion of "I was missing all the signs".
The phrase came to me a few days ago. At first, I was trying to make it a sort of a country/folkie sort of song, but it finally dawned on me that 'missing all the signs' was a good tag line for a blues thing.
I've written several blues songs, but this will be the first I try to record . . . hope it sounds as good recorded as it does in my head (but it probably won't - my fertile imagination always seems to exceed my limited abilities).
hi james your too sharp top miss anything never mind the signs,cool song well done...stay cool
got to agree with southpaw, very trippy
you sound like an adrenelin junkie, unrequited love I guess the message is, well described we've all been there at one time or another, just one question though, gription? is that an Americanism? explain please.
regards
Phill

I'll answer this one for Mr. McCormick. He replied to my post with this information regarding 'gription' ;
"Just couldn't get no gription" came from something I heard a football coach say once. He was explaining why his team couldn't pass or run the ball during a very wet and muddy game. Apparently, the other team had plenty of 'gription' since they had no trouble racking up lots of points.

i keep reading and listening to songs in this section after so many people comment and say it all, leaving me nothing to say but repeating what others say. Maybe this is why I do not comment so much in this section now?
but I will have to repeat other posts on this.
james this is a fantastic beautiful number one song
I love the lyrics and I am thinking I am going to try this out. I will also create a new folder in my favourites to save other peoples songs from here. So many I have tried and liked then completely forgotten about them. But I love the lyrics so much on this I know I do not want to forget it.
cheers
Keep them coming

Hi all, and thanks for the positive feedback.
I have just posted a recording of 'Missing All The Signs' to my MySpace Music page.
I tried to give a sort of rockabilly feel . . .

james it reminds me of gene vincent and the blue caps of the mid fifties he had a hit with "be bop alula"and "woman love" i listened to it on your web cool song
Hi James,
Another good recording, thanks.
Roger
Nice to hear your songs being recorded James.
Another good up beat number from you.
Have you given up the guitar entirely for the Autoharp now. All your numbers seem to be on that instrument now.
