Francis Irene Rutabaga Williams, did you change this Lyric or just make a mistake? I seem to recall it said,
F I'm gonna sing my heart out G>>>>>>G7 Play my PART out >>>G>>>>>>>>>>>>G I hope I make a lot of dough there I'm A Guitar Man ON THE ROAD To Nowhere
Most places it says 'heart' twice. And most places the full title is there, but there's one where you left out those three words.
(Sorry about calling you by both your middle names!)
Under the heading of "Little things matter", you have to proofread carefully. One missing word or mistake can have an effect on how someone 'gets' the Song, or doesn't 'get' it.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

Oh, none of the middle names are mine!! Dancin' Fran Williams

Hi Gary, I'm glad you have the file for my song/lyrics!! I wish you would post our great song called, "She Develin' Queen Of New Orleans"!! Also I do hope you will consider singing some other songs called, "Sexy Man Card" and "Guitar Man On the Road (To Nowhere)".. You are very talented and I know that they would be awesome!! Wishful dreamin' Ms. Fran Williams

Yes, "She Devilin' Queen (Named Betty Jean)" has been on my mind! The boys over at www.SongwriterJunction.com have been getting on me about not endeavoring to make Sound Recordings. I feel a seed of motivation. If it sprouts I promise. "She Devilin' Queen" is a tale, a Character, I found irresistible, capturing that spooky, Voodoo mystery of New Orleans. I can play "She Devilin'..." And I can play "Guitar Man (On The Road To Nowhere)". I've never tried to come up with something for "Sexy Man Card" beyond vocalizing it. But, again, feelin' that seed of motivation.

Hi Gary, this is wonderful news and I hope that you will record some songs! Gary, I watched your video singing at the Foothills gig and when you were singing, I used my cell phone on record/video, and it captured it great! Your voice is amazing!! Oh, you are very handsome and deserve your awesome "Sexy Man Card" Yeah!! Good luck, Ms. Fran Williams

In my best Sexy Elvis voice, "Thankyouverymuuch!" Hi Gary, You have a great voice similar to the Delaney, Led Zeppelin, and others of that era! I've always loved songs by, Jim Croce! Your voice is "unique" and I believe that is what it takes! (Your own style)!! I'm no expert, but my ears knows when it hears something awesome!! Best to ya, Ms. Fran Williams
