Tom: Yea, it is cool to just start the player going and listen to all these tunes while working. It's coming out as a nice, varied collection. Kevin ******************************************** EDIT: I've set up a Soundclick radio station of all the songs listed in this thread (if it is soundclick song) at: http://members.soundclick.com/station/721921 ************************************************

Kevin, Thank you. I'd like to ask:
Does anyone object if I put a note and the link to your station on the Mellow Melodies site. I feel special to be in the company of so many good songs there.
Would I have permission from each of the people that put a song there to use it on the show? I had fun starting at the top and I am working my way down the list to hear each song & they are all good!
Gott run to work now (that dirty 4 letter word)...
Atchya'Later, Goody

Ms. Goody: Yes you may link to my soundclick station if you wish (it's a public site, anyway).
If you need permission from each of the contributors to play their song on your radio station, you probably have to contact them individually (yuch!). You have my permission to play my song.
I like putting the songs on shuffle when I listen in.
Thanks,
Kevin

This is my most successful song to date, and yet was the one song I wrote as a direct result of someone telling me how crap I am. They may well be right, who knows. Anyway, some of you will have already heard this before but for those who have not, here it is. It is called THE LITTLE FISH. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=3643279Regards Mark

Wow, Brother Kev, that's a Tough Assignment..."Just One". (Outta "Over 1500"...) I co-ed with Chuck Crowe a few years back with a Hot little Rocker, "The HEAT", that was & still Is, a Fave, & easy-to-sing. Chuck's Guitar Work made it soar... I (Of Course) Can't Remember alla the lyrics..but started off: "Summer Sweat..Drippin' Off Our Chests/ Chevy Backseat..Never Got..No Rest/ Makin' Love was Our Endurance..Test..In THE HEAT..We'd feel Every Time We Touched/ THE HEAT..Just a Little would Make So-Much/ The HEAT..Started Burnin' with The Wink of An Eye.../ All That HEAT..The HEAT... Between You & I..." & then Chuck KILLED with his 3-4 Tracks of GREAT Guitar Licks, & Back to The Verses Again...etc. I'm not-yet adept at puttin' songs out on MP3 format...but song's Sampleable at < www.CDBaby.com/TampaStan> on the "At Least It' Somethin' Different" CD. Other Genre Stuff that SHOULDA Been Hits: "Deep-Down We're Dogs"..Country "Where The Hell is Heaven?"..Inspirational "Honk If You Love Atheists".." / Comedic "Long-Distance Kiss"..R&B-Pop (It's all There...at CDBaby/TampaStan..Somewhere!) Thankee Bro..for makin' me Think a bit this AM! Best Wishes on this Fine Thread, Ol' Stan

TampaStan: Yea, I guess it gets a little tougher when you have 1500 songs!! If you ever figure out how to get it over to Soundclick, I'll add it to the station. Thanks for checking the thread out.
Mark: I added your tune.

Pongamoosic: Cool tune, got a classic Steely Dan feel (but of course it is still original).

Kevin Thank you kind sir. We honestly didn't intend that, and it's proving to be a bit of a curse. Steve

Hey Kevin--awesome idea you have here. I'm really lookin' forward to going to your soundclick station and having a long listen to everything while I'm workin' in my basement. Like yourself, this is one of my most recent. Don't know if it's my "greatest" but it's rather different from most of the stuff I write. I was wanting to write a "period piece" and love the vibe of late fifties music. So, this is kind of a homage to some of my favorite songs from that era--namely I Only Have Eyes for You and Sleepwalk. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=73690421959 (c)2009 Eric J. Baker V1 I've loved you so long; met you in 1959 Only eighteen; just livin' for next Friday night And I remember all of the things we used to do Went to the movies; saw Sandra Dee, Troy Donahue Sea of Love, Lonely Teardrops, Mack the Knife It was such a simple time CHORUS I wish I could take you back to 1959 And feel your body softly swayin' next to mine Drift 'cross the dance floor and float across time...with you V2 In an old Chrysler, I kissed you for the first time The Platters were singin', Smoke Gets in Your Eyes We were so young then, but we were eager to grow up Where have the years gone? Surely they've not just turned to rust We'd dance to the jukebox, gettin' three songs for a dime Oh, if I could turn back time CHORUS SPOKEN: Darling, we have left our youth far behind Yet when I kiss you, it feels like the first time And with your little hand holding tightly onto mine So, won't you love me like it's 1959? Santo and Johnny playin' Sleepwalk felt so right We lived such carefree lives CHORUS

Kevin, Thanks for your permission. I'd like to include "He Must Walk" & "Take Me Where Your Going" on this weeks show.
Actually I'd like to have you as my Featured Artist for September. You have such a varied group of songs and still have that down to earth sound with each one. I know my listeners will enjoy your music. Through-out the month I'll be playing about 14 or 15 pieces. (I do have a place on the Q&A page for you to see regarding my needed permission, but the post with your permission should work for me just fine.)
When I have your name up I'll link it to whatever page you'd like. just let me know.
Cool beanzzz... I am pleased as can be when I can help promote JPF'rs. Thank you for sharing.

Ms. Goody: Feel free to use any song in my portfolio that you wish on your radio station. I have uploaded higher resolution versions of the songs (256kbs vs Soundclick's 128kbs) at ftp://www.jkt9000.com/cville_ramblings/ . If you can't get to the FTP site because of security issues (some folks can't get to FTP sites), let me know and I can move those higher quality files somewhere else. They are double in size from the Soundclick versions, but still reasonable at around 6-7 Mb each. Kevin

2nd time I have listened...this is good Mark...You hear that alot but tonight this was a good listen. Stay warm up there. Good work! Hmmm. I usually leave the assessments to other people. Based on feedback and web hits, my best would be "I Wrote This Song for Cash", "Dead Sexy" and, yes, "Twenty Chickens for a Saddle". Based on feedback at JPF, it might be "Eldorado" or "The Graveyard of Songs". But screw it, I'll put up one that I personally like, just because it makes me feel good: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6680723LemonadeI'm on the run In summer sun She likes to take it easy I feel my thirst But she comes first And then it's cool and breezy I used to drink to feel all right But since she taught me day from night It's out of sight My Lemonade She's so sweet She takes the heat And makes it into shady shade Won't even think About a drink Just want my Lemonade When I'm in pain She brings me rain Washes all the blues away When I’m withdrawn She pours it on Splashing colors on the gray I used to drink to feel all right But when she switches on the light It's out of sight My Lemonade... I'm a roman candle Great balls of fire When I'm afraid And she knows why I get hard to handle When all I desire Is Lemonade My Lemonade... So when I burn She takes a turn She's my biggest fan And when I'm hot She hits the spot She knows I'm just a thirsty man I used to drink to feel all right Now I can tell the fight from flight It's out of sight My Lemonade She's so sweet She takes the heat And makes it into shady shade Don't even think About a drink Just want my Lemonade And if I blow She slows the flow And when I see her fade I hold her near Beside the mirror And kiss my Lemonade (Copyright 2008 by Mark Kaufman)

Listened again tonight...that was engaging all the way through. Nice song. This one is arguably the most well received. Needs re-recording. [color:#3366FF]Lone Palm Tree - The Blue Island Beer Club[/size][/color] Lone Palm Tree Copyright © 2007 Colin Ward I wanna be on an island with a lone palm tree, I don't need much if you're there with me, A little fresh water and some food from a tin, And we'll make love until the tide comes in Maybe we can build a thatched roof shack, A little bit of shelter so we'll keep coming back, Beach our boat on the sandy shore, Tie it to the palm tree, who needs any more I wanna be on an island with a lone palm tree I don't need much if you're there with me, A turquoise ocean and a fishing line, Lay on the beach with a bottle of wine Guitar Solo No one on the island and no TV, One lone palm and just you and me, No World Wide Web, newspapers or ice, I know it would be our paradise I wanna be on an island with a lone palm tree, I don't need much if you're there with me, A little fresh water and an ice cold beer, We'll make love for as long as we're here[size:14pt]

I haven't heard your vocals much but these were good...very gospel/blues feel to the song Ok Kevin, You might just kick me out here, lol but I wrote and recorded this song last night and it is the favorite all time love song I ever did. It may start a little slow, but it kicks in a little later. The music is by lpone. Please don't bring out the big gong show hook if it doesn't follow the rules lol. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7361437No Words ©2009 Letha Allen ASCAP Strong and silent That’s his type Doesn’t say “I love you” Day and Night She can feel him Without words Knows complete love Is hers Chorus Sometimes love Needs no words Sometimes love Can be silent Needs no words She can feel All his love With one touch of his hand And he knows She’s his woman Oh, with just a simple glance Sometimes love Needs no words To be heard Lead Feel the silence Aw feel the silence Of a love That needs no words I Feel the silence I Feel the silence Of a love That needs no words Feel the silence Feel the silence Without words

Nice listen tonight. Stand out song. Good pop beatles hint to it. I have three that have received the most positive feedback. One is about the U.S.S. Arizona but it is a long, slow, sad, one. Another is my baseball song, Opening Day, sung by John Daubert and produced by Sub. The third was one I wrote for my wife to celebrate our 25th. Sub did the music for it. I want to do a better vocal sometime. It's called Still making it up as we go: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=377550&songID=5534047John sang a great version of this one too - a slow, piano bar approach. Still Making it up as we go (c) 2007 by S.W. Campbell You didn’t come with instructions But then what good would they be? You’ve always been a moving target With a fresh scheme up your sleeve And though I’m sometimes skeptical I help you play them out Cause your vision of the two of us Is one I never doubt We seek, we plan We leap, we land But it’s the bends in the flow Where we lend and we owe Still making it up as we go Nobody gave us a manual It would’ve gone out of date anyhow I look at that kid in our wedding pictures And he’s a stranger to me now So in another twenty years I don’t know what I’ll be But the one thing that I’m sure of is You’ll still believe in me We shift, we turn We drift, we yearn But it’s the bends in the flow Where we lend and we owe Still making it up as we go Baby we’re a work in progress And our palette is still wet Better get a bigger canvas We ain’t seen our best days yet And it’s the bends in the flow Where we blend and we grow Still making it up as we go Scott

2nd time I have heard this. Good Caro production...I call it the subsoundGreat song song lyric/production. Hi Kevin, my greatest song for now is "Man, How These Walls Cry" co-written with Derek and Caroline and produced by the great Mike Caro....still love this one and it's really a great song..thanks so much..glyn
Man, How These Walls Cry
Through the years i've seen many things
Some I wish I had not seen
I've seen men come and go
Some go home and some go
Well, you know.
It's a shame it took this to bring me to my knees
It doesn't matter who they are
The roughest, toughest, meanest of men
With all kinds of tattoos
There will come a day when you'll have to bend.
You know when something's going down
There's an icy wicked chill in the air
And it's as thick as ice
You better think twice
Before you show anyone that you're scared.
It's seeping through the walls
Like fingers reaching out for you
Stops you in your tracks
Afraid to breathe or even move.
No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
But, at night , man you should see
How These Walls Cry.
My mamma reverd the Lord
She said "son you'd better be good
Or you'll go straight to hell
Well, it feels like i am in this cell.
Mamma did what she could
But she can't stop these walls from closing in
At times I swear I hear them talking
I pace the floors spend hours walking
At anytime my life could end.
When my mamma cried for me
I just laughed right in her face
Now her wisdom I ignored
Has put me in this place.
No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
But, at night man, you should see
How These Walls Cry
How These Walls Cry
Well, if I could get out for just one day
You know what i'd do
I'd get down on my knees
And kiss that woman's feet
Tell her I was such a fool.
I've seen a man kill another man
Just for sitting on his bed
Life means nothing behind these bars
Just look at someone wrong and you're dead
Yeah, they act so tough,swearing, cussin' and fighting
At night the damned lay still
scared by a little thunder and lightening.
No one makes a sound
As evil floats around
But, at night man you should see
How These Walls Cry
How These Walls Cry

Ms Goody. Nice work. You did good. Well, I thought I'd throw one in here too. (yeppers, that's me doing harmony too.) Now can anyone tell me how to post this to the same page the rest of your songs are on the soundclick... duhh... currently can be heard at: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=852843 Moonlight Millionaire by Goody Haines Wanting the Golden moonlight in the trees. Longing for the silver in the stars... Feeling the coolness of a passing breeze can almost make you forget where you are. (chorus) Cuz I'm a Moonlight Millionaire. At the moment I haven't a care. Though in reality, I'm as poor as I can be... right now I'm a moonlight millionaire. Just this little farm that we call home. It's the only place that we've ever known. Open skies above and land as far as you can see. And I'm a millionaire just as long as your with me. (chorus) We had the long cold winters, then the early thaw. Spring brought us wild north winds that never seemed to calm. Summertime was hot & dry.. frost hit in the fall. I know we struggled year after year, but with you I have it all. (chorus) Cuz I'm a Moonlight Millionaire. At the moment I haven't a care. Though in reality, I'm as poor as I can be... right now I'm a moonlight millionaire. Yes, with you I'm a Moonlight Millionaire.

Wow good song again. I get the feeling this is a pretty good station. Good Job!! This is one of my favorites because it's one of the few I've written where the words and melody are all mine. A nod to Dave Scarboro of East Craft Demos for the vocals and instrumentation. Enjoy! -Greg http://soundclick.com/share?songid=1269666 Flight 687 (I Hope It’s Not Too Late) ©2004 Greg C. Brown BMI Flight 687, Boston to L.A. Arrives in half an hour, won’t be no more delays. It's been a long time coming, I know she must be scared; Well that's one bond I know we’ll always share. CHORUS The silver bird is landing, My baby's coming home. The years have all but vanished, Her childhood's almost gone. Together we'll grow memories Like we have never had. I hope it's not too late to be her dad. Her mom and me were children who tried to grow up fast, An empty, loveless marriage can never hope to last. She took the child and left me for that New England shore; I thought I'd never see her anymore. REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE She's older now, the choice is hers, She wants to live with me. I'll do my best to make it work And give her what she needs. I called and wrote her letters at least three times a week, Sometimes I thought I'd choke on the words I tried to speak. I never gave up hoping that I would share her life, Flight 687 lands tonight. REPEAT CHORUS No, I hope it ain't too late to be her dad.

Another winner. Nice to meet ya. This was real good work.!! "Don't Want To Be Famous" http://soundclick.com/share?songid=5513170"Too Little Time" Band recording, with Sub collaborating on the ending, and producing. Since I love to play bass too, (was in between players at the time of recording), it's just one more reason this gets the nod. Also, it gets air play on WSTW in Delaware, and covers the rules for this thread. I have better songs maybe, (Too Little Time and Just Gotta be Friends), but maybe not a better record. ???? Anyhow, I had to pick one, so Famous it is. Based on "Wings" just being formed. (Took some liberties). "Don't Want To Be Famous" http://soundclick.com/share?songid=55131701st. Verse: I can always call when I get the chance And see my kids through my one ear Then it's off to who knows where tonight This bus is my home And it's been roaming round forever Chorus: I didn't want to be famous Just wanted you to feel this music with me I don't want to be famous Just need to play all these melodies I don't want to be famous 2nd Verse: Long time ago I didn't think fame would happen You can never say never When you're in the middle of harmonies There's two ways to go You'll reach for the highs and live the lows Chorus: I didn't want to be famous Just wanted you to feel this music with me I don't want to be famous Just need to play all these melodies I don't want to be famous Don't want to be like Amos Don't want to be famous Break I didn't want to be famous Just wanted you to feel this music with me Ending section: I don't want to be famous No, I don't want to be famous Don't don't want to be famous Nooo, nooo, yeah Hmmm, Hmmm, yeah Well, Well, yeah I just want you to feel, I just want you to feel Well I just want you to feel, (yeah) I just want you to feel this music with me yeah, (yeah) I just want you to feel this music with me yeah (yeah) I just want you to feel this music with me yeah "Don't Want To Be Famous" http://soundclick.com/share?songid=5513170

Good listening and commenting, Ted
Maybe I should ask Brian to put the station as a sticky somewhere.

I like the idea that everybody puts up only their very best stuff. What happens is a nice listening enviroment where you are pretty sure it will be good. I mean I know all of my stuff isn't great and you have to do bad before you do good but this seems to be an eclectic group of music and all of it is pretty good. Good listening and commenting, Ted

Hi Kevin Thanks so much for this opportunity....It's really a super nice idea. I have not posted anything yet... because they all feel like my kids...and 78 of them are collaborative kids..posted at either CD Baby or Soundclick. Most are JPF'rs. So I picked these and did an eeny meeny miney MO... Creepy Crawly Furry Fuzzy Caterpillar Fun...with Wy Griffith...It is our most successful song to date. Silly little song that it is.

This is probably against the rules, since I posted a song previously, but (love the way I acknowledge...and then blatantly post anyway):) EDITED- I went back and deleted my original submission, so I don't feel like a thread hog anymore This one is simple, but it's one of my favorites: http://www.pongamoosic.com/tracks/angel.mp3ANGEL (Petitt/Cohen/Marlo) Angel, why did you turn away how did you fall from grace and what did you fear my angel you said no one really understands the pain said theres nothing more here to gain but i'm still standing here in the shadows you hide locked up deep inside you reveled in your misery dont you realize...it's only through your eyes my angel my angel you're sent from above the light is the love that sets you free dont you remember me? oh angel..how you helped me through the years dried all of my tears... so that i can dream... with you by my side, i feel that i, can conquer anything, don't you understand... i can breathe again... my angel my angel sent from above, the light is the love that sets you free... oh angel, my angel... set to the skies, you were meant to fly across the seas dont you remember me.

Let me throw this in the hat...I don't know if it's my best, but one of my favorites... http://soundclick.com/share?songid=1016972Dear Grandma Dear Grandma Do you know that I’m a star? And do you know it’s all because Of this ol’ guitar that you gave me Such a long time ago I named it after you I thought you’d like to know Dear Grandma Do you know I miss your face And peanut butter and jelly On those story-tellin’ days where I remember In your rockin’ chair one day you said Know matter where you go Go your own way Wish you didn’t go when you did You left all your love In the heart of a little kid Dear Grandma I kinda miss the ol’ Sunday school Wouldn’t have a God if it weren’t for you And I remember – the 23rd psalm And the change for collection You slipped into my palm Thank you Grandma Thank you Grandma

Barry: I can only add songs to the "station" if they are over in soundclick. You don't have to copy it over there, only if you want it included in the station.

My submission Kevin http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=740403&songID=5691623Girls and boys still dressed for a Saturday night Others are wearing their comfortable clothes As you read the newspaper over somebody’s shoulder while the lights are at red. Tangerine queens head for the salons To top up their tan and sharpen their talons For Monday at work, where they’re going to be armed with a headset at mike. Bridge Graffiti stained shutters on the shops in the town Say it’s not yet noon and I’m still coming down I got my breakfast in a blue plastic bag The weekends been long and I just want to get back. Oh Oh it’s suddenly Sunday x2 CHORUS And there’s old folks with sticks And there’s youngsters with bricks And tourists who want to write, something that might, on a postcard Make the folks think that they had a good time It’s suddenly Sunday Gonna check out the sites See who made it through Saturday night On a slow bus through this no mean town it’s suddenly Sunday Vrs 2 16 year old kids who think they need wives That’ll measure their manhood by the size of their knives In one year from now they’ll have a soul mate or cellmate Who had casual violence the night before? Who’ll wake tomorrow with the police at the door? Who’ll have a red face when they walk into the office space? Repeat bridge and chorus I'ts gonna take me a while to catch up on listening to the others but i'll give it a shot. Andy

Hey Kevin--awesome idea you have here. I'm really lookin' forward to going to your soundclick station and having a long listen to everything while I'm workin' in my basement. Like yourself, this is one of my most recent. Don't know if it's my "greatest" but it's rather different from most of the stuff I write. I was wanting to write a "period piece" and love the vibe of late fifties music. So, this is kind of a homage to some of my favorite songs from that era--namely I Only Have Eyes for You and Sleepwalk. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=73690421959 (c)2009 Eric J. Baker V1 I've loved you so long; met you in 1959 Only eighteen; just livin' for next Friday night And I remember all of the things we used to do Went to the movies; saw Sandra Dee, Troy Donahue Sea of Love, Lonely Teardrops, Mack the Knife It was such a simple time CHORUS I wish I could take you back to 1959 And feel your body softly swayin' next to mine Drift 'cross the dance floor and float across time...with you V2 In an old Chrysler, I kissed you for the first time The Platters were singin', Smoke Gets in Your Eyes We were so young then, but we were eager to grow up Where have the years gone? Surely they've not just turned to rust We'd dance to the jukebox, gettin' three songs for a dime Oh, if I could turn back time CHORUS SPOKEN: Darling, we have left our youth far behind Yet when I kiss you, it feels like the first time And with your little hand holding tightly onto mine So, won't you love me like it's 1959? Santo and Johnny playin' Sleepwalk felt so right We lived such carefree lives CHORUS I'd get straight on the phone to Quentin Tarentino with that one WOW Andy

If this isn't your best then you have a lot of great ones cause this was outstanding. There must be a country star out there that could use this song.Beautiful. Let me throw this in the hat...I don't know if it's my best, but one of my favorites... http://soundclick.com/share?songid=1016972Dear Grandma Dear Grandma Do you know that I’m a star?

hey thanks for this great topic! it's pretty much impossible pin down my favorite or the "best" ever. but of the ones that come to mind, this one probably fits all the criteria best. it's fun, too (and they're not all so "fun"  ) i also i like this one 'cause it's just me on all parts. It's written with live shows in mind - which helps explain the extended instrumental breaks. people go nuts dancing to this! (of course i don't play all the parts live!) Dance With Meby griff bear http://griffbear.com/_vault/solo/soloaudio/dance_with_me_10-17-07.mp3He struts into the bar room, lookin' real fine 'Buckle on his belt - it's got a brand new shine From the way he wears his Stetson - it should come as no surprise He's lookin' for some lovin' - you can see it in his eyes There's an angel on the dance floor - dancing there alone He's thinkin' to himself - he's gonna take her home So he glides up right beside her - he says, "Ma'am, if I may say - I ain't never seen no blue jeans - move that way." FIDDLE She says, "Watch yourself, now cowboy - before you're saying more Better men than you - 'been laid out on this floor But go ahead and take your best shot - show me whatcha got But you got to know - I could never be With a man that can't dance with me." (CHORUS) (She said) I love lovin' much as the next girl Huggin' and a kissin' - I can rock your whole world But don't you think it's gonna be easy - don't you think it's gonna come free This girl needs more than sweet talkin' Come on, darlin' won't you dance with me Come on darlin', won't you dance with me She said, "Take me by the hand - show me your stuff But I never met a man - that ever had enough" So they shook and they shimmied and they whirled and they twirled And they danced until he couldn't breathe She said, "how y' ever gonna give me good love If you can't even dance with me?" She called for a waltz, She called for a two-step, She called for her fiddlers three She called out to the boys in the band, "don't let me down - It's time to heat it up and let it all hang out." BREAK / FIDDLE / WHOOPLA He woke up in the corner - his head still spinnin' 'round With everybody gone - it was time for closin' down Oh, the barkeep' said, "don't feel bad - Y' know, you ain't the first And you won't be the last cowboy - That ever hears those words" CHORUS ... Come on back when you can dance with me!

WARNING: Clicking the link below will automatically begin playing the song. And it's kinda loud, so please adjust your volume now. [b]"Ashes on the Water"[/b] It's the song that more people seem to have picked up on than any other song that I've released so far. Of course, that could change once I release my next album. (I hope that it does!)

This song is actually very well recieved by the people surrounding my area. Most say it's a "SOUNDTRACK" song. It's called "Found A Way" Website: www.myspace.com/raisingsignificanceLyrics Life can throw you twists and turns And leave you all alone I can let you in my heart And be overthrown You have entered my soul Through everything you've shown I wanted you to know.. I wanted you to know You amaze me with your heart So selfless and so pure You take away my scars One at a time you find a cure God has blessed me with your smile I'll never let that go I wanted you to know... I wanted you to know I found a way to love I found a way to just go slow I found a way to just hold on And I'm never letting go I found a way to love I found a way to hold on tight I found a way to believe in you When I looked into those eyes So as your listening to this song May tears roll down your face Cuz it was written with this love That I'm needing you to embrace You make me wanna be a better man than ever before I wanted you to know.. I wanted you to know I found a way to make this right I found a way to sleep all night I found a way to close my eyes I found a way to just go slow I found a way I'm not letting go When I looked into those When I looked into those eyes Thank you for listening!

this is beautiful. these kinds of lines ... where the end of one line rhymes with middle of another ... are just sooooo smooth.
Dear Grandma
Do you know that I’m a star?
And do you know it’s all because
Of this ol’ guitar that you gave me
'love it. griff bear
