Last VOM we had some discussions about Guy Clark and that prompted me to dig up one of his songs that I like. This is a recent song of his. It is called Somedays You Write The Songs. I had trouble with my recording set up, so it isn't exactly a one take. I recorded my Guild Jumbo and Rogue Mandolin.

This is my valentine's day entry, which I dedicate to my lovely wife. A song written by Neil Diamond, done in my own style. Recorded with my Guild and hammered dulcimer. The song is titled WE.

I have missed a few VOM but here is an original called Autumn Song that I have been working on this week. This is a VOMIT, altho, I have recorded other versions earlier to listen to it. Recorded with my H2 using my Guild D212-12.

Here is my selection for this VOM. I got an H2 the other day and took it to one of my Sunday jams. Certainly surprised how well the thing works! This is definitely a VOMIT! Not too great

Tower of Song-Myself and a few other guitarists and Miss Amie Reaves on mandolin.

Good Mornin' from a hot So CAl! I really haven't had time this week to put something together. I spent the last two days up in an attic crawlspace wiring up some ceiling fans for a customer. Had to be 120* up there! So, this is something I created last year and happens to be already stored in my webspace. It is called Uke Fantasy. It's a bit long, but it features hammered dulcimer and an instrument called a ukeline.

For my submission this VOM, I have taken a poem I received in an email recently and put it to music. It was written by an anonymous teenage girl who has terminal cancer.The song is called Slow Dance. I recorded this with my Guild and my autoharp.

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry- go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly�s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down
Don�t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won�t last

Do you run thru each day
On the fly?
When you ask, how are you
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed?
With the next hundred chores
Running thru your head?

Chorus

Ever told your child
We will do it tomorrow?
And in your haste
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch
And let a friendship die?
Cause you never had time
To call and say hi?

Chorus

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there
When you worry and hurry thru your day
It�s like and unopened gift��..
Thrown away

Chorus

Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over
