I really do go downtown here.."not Memphis there is a little coffee shop and all the kids hangout there, good food and great coffee, all the kids sit along the walls outside and play guitars some together and some loners .."origin of the song"
one of my 2 min. songs..Mike Zaneski completes these little songs for me and just does terrific for what I hand Him.

Come spend a little time with me

v1
Down around a town called Memphis,
a whole lot of sites to see.
There is a man stands out in the crowd
playing a guitar.... sounding hot... sounding mean.

chorus:
Come spend a little time with me
a little change in the cup..if you please.
I`m here every night of the week...
and then He plays the guitar like you`ve never seen.

v2
Down around a town called Memphis,
nights are pretty special to me,
I get out and go downtown
and listen to the music in the street.

Bridge:
Those nights when we all get out
it gets a little crazy...
and the music gets loud.....
We can go every night of the week...
it all comes alive if you know what I mean...


chorus:
Come spend a little time with me
a little change in the cup..if you please.
I`m here every night of the week...
and then He plays the guitar..

Come spend a little time with me,
a little change in the cup..if you please.
I`m here every night of the week...
I try to play the guitar....like you`ve never seen.

watch me play guitar..like you`ve never seen.

Hi Lane... and Mike by default:

This is a catchy little number and I certainly enjoyed what I heard. The little man sitting on my right shoulder (I call him Merlin) says this song has more potential than you two have squeezed out of the music tube. I hear conflicting tales about short versus long songs but I would "err on the side of about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. There are at least a dozen ways to go, a brief, tangent beat or possibly a longer instrumental break... but the lyricist inside me says it needs a few more words. Knowing that my musical instincts are usually wrong, as always, I wish you the very best of luck with the song about the town built on top of Chickasaw Bluffs. ----Dave

Man! I love this site. Great music and this one fit right in. Had me tapping my feet and fingers. Really smooth production.

thank you Cal for listening and commenting, pretty short song but for some reason I like those. Lane


Hey Dave, your little guy might be right, I just do these little things for my kids and g-kids. someday they might drag them out and redo them, they all play, not much singing there but who knows whats coming..thanks Dave for taking time to listen and comment. Lane

Hey Doug, your right about anything you want is on this site. I give Mike these little songs and He shines them right up. does a great job on the small songs I send him.

Calvin, Dave, Douglas, Pete,

Thanks for the kind words.

I've only passed through Memphis a couple times but there's a definite feel to that city that's totally different from anywhere else. It's knowing it's (musical) history while looking out at the mostly poverty stricken-ness of it all..and yet folks really know how to enjoy themselves. My kinda place..

I'm glad you liked it; Lane's songs make it so easy. smile

Mike

I'm with Dave on this.
It's a great idea and Mike's treatment is a given, known wonderment.
But ... I feel there's just a little more to get out of it.
I understand that you think it's done so that's fine too.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.

Hey Travis,
the write was light and airy" thought the music should be too, doesn`t bore a person and bounces along.
thank you Travis for the comment and listening to these little songs of mine..Lane
