Thanks to the Obama stimulus plan I will finally be buying the newest portable Digital Recorder; probably later tonight. It's not really that expensive but I never have any spare cash. I'm grateful as I have a lot of recording to do and no longer money for studios which are a waste of time and $.
Most I won't bother with but in cleaning up old master tapes to CD to save, I found an 80's recording to this one and the piano was beautiful even back then. Now I should be able to do the vocals.
I have only 45 days to test out this thing or send it back; looks like I will be doing a lot more arranging and singing then even I like to do in the August. If you know me, you know I love to play and record piano first and foremost. But this works as a country ballad for sure...


Poem Artwork

My past is like a burning building
  I turn my back and walk away
My life’s been like a ship that’s sailing
  Chasing horizons and distant shores
My future’s like that bright horizon
  Saving the best for last.

The loneliest man on earth, (that was me)
  Like a bird in open sky
And where the wind blew free
  Over the last patch of prairie
Yes a solitary cloud- (that was me)

That face that I’ve seen before,
   Feeling the beauty of youth,
Wondering what there is to do,
  But asking who shares it with you?

Clouds and sea and sky mark the days
Like worlds in circles we spin
  Passing stars return again.
All events revolve around us
  And the lonely ones come home again.
Like ships that pass in the night –
Like gears that move but never touch
We pass and move along
  Always starting something,
  that something never done.

My past is like a burning building
  I turn my back and walk away
My life’s been like a ship that’s sailing
  Chasing horizons and distant shores
My future’s like that bright horizon
  Saving the best for last.

My heart, it is for you,
  Saving the best for last.
