No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Story behind the song
From a dream.....a couple, from childhood, onward through their golden years and passing on. Their spirits are renewed, as they dance in the clouds. This takes place prior, during and post Civil War.
Lyrics
Waltzin' Through Old Kentucky and Tennessee Saturday, January 14, 2006 Wade Farlowe (capo on 2nd fret) A D A Hello my dear friend, you're a gift in the mornin' G D A Hello my sweet love, we're partners at night A D A Passing by the storms, that strike without warnin' G D A Holding the driftwood dreams in delight A D A Shadows may come, but the daylight, it scatters G D A Clouds of frustration, and hold dear what matters C D A Dance through the old mountains with me G C A Waltz through old Kentucky and Tennessee C D A Dancin' through the old mountains with me C G A Waltzin' through old Kentucky and Tennessee Break (using all previous chords) A D A One day my dear friend, when we are so much older G D A One day my sweet love, with changes of time A D A Passing by the days, when change is ever bolder G D A Holding our driftwood dreams, our lifetime (Pick up from “Shadows” in first verse) Break (closing with long fade)
