Re: 2 new songs

Two great songs Phill. I particularly like Maggie Coulter, although its a tragic tale it has a very catchy melody.  Again, great work Phill

Re: 2 new songs

Great work, Phill ...

I'll cast my vote for "Old Friends" as my favorite of the two. Are you using a DigiTech Trio for the drums & bass, or did you play all the instruments and mix them together? Either way, you sound great!

Re: 2 new songs

Phill,

Both excellent renditions !!

I like the Maggie song the best. 
I grew up very poor and know the feelings associated with that. My dad died when I was 8 months old - leaving my mother with ten kids.
Somehow my mother got us through and we all turned out pretty damned well. 
reminds of the quote - " the things you take for granted, someone else is praying for'

Thanks  for sharing - loved 'em both

Ditto.

Both great songs but something about "Old Friends" just spoke to me.

Re: 2 new songs

thanks dino glad you like them.

keepitreal, yes she is my 3 year old granddaughter, Darcie. it is a sad tale but you cant write lovey-dovey songs all the time?

TF, i'm glad people like one or the other. no all live instruments, it's my joy and my hobby. funnily enough, it's only guitar bass keyboards and drums i've ever wanted to play.

the things we take for granted someone else is praying for....what a brilliant quote. sorry `bout your dad, it must have made things hard for you kids and your mam. still gave you plenty to write about. the character maggie was based on my grandmother who i used to call "my ngu" it's actually mamgu, welsh for grandmother, though she was anything but a tramp/hobo.

thanks unclejoe.

i try my best grah.

also thanks kimnoblemusic, appreciate the listen and critique.

thanks ark, always good to hear from you.
