OK folks, I've got a new song out. This is also a country song, but not a humorous one. (Not intentionally, anyway.) Once again, I'd appreciate it if you'd give it a listen and an honest opinion, preferably in that order. The waaaaahmbulance is standing by.
A few quick notes:
1) I did indeed record the song as "Hopalong Ginsberg." No, that is not an autocorrected spelling of "Slings and Arrows."
2) Yes, I know what my voice sounds like, so let's get this out of the way:
3) If you like the song, or even if you just want to inflict it on an enemy, you can download the MP3 for free here. Or here. But not here.
4) To justify pinging my kitty ping list:
May as well have been, it did not resemble Obamaland for sure
Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
And he told me it was the perfect country and western song
I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the
Perfect country and western song because he hadn’t said
Anything at all about momma or trains or trucks or prison or gettin’ drunk
Well he sat down and wrote another verse to this song
And he sent it to me and
After reading it I realized that my friend had written the
Perfect country and western song
And I felt obliged to include it on this album
The last verse goes like this here
Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in the pick-up truck
She got runned over by a damned old train
And I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin’ in the rain
And you don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
You never even called me, well I wondered why you don’t call me?
Why don’t you ever call me by my name?
David Allan Coe - You Never Even Call Me By My Name Lyrics
A Three minute warning would be great, please.
Your last song was a hit with those i played it to.
I'll keep on plugging until the last hound dog gets out of prison.
I’ll take two. Plus the drinks.
There’s some echo too.
I hear ya, FRiend.
You are added. Flak vest and helmet are NOT included.
(And thanks!)
Blonde substitutes available,, frosty jugs uhhh mugs too.
I used to party with bands a lot,, I must have aged a decade
In a decade uhhh
Minniesoda used to have lots of good bands all over
Before the invasion
Second: Well...I couldn't write about second...it would take too long.
Third:You're third finger on the G chord is slightly too behind the fret, making my cats scream in undeniable pain.
Also anything passing for a D or A7. Tho I did like your accidental attempt for playing a diminished 6th.
Otherwise I liked it
What was it again...
Almost got it...
Oh yeah!
My college experience was spent in engineering and tech schools. Unless you had a fetish for HP calculators, you’d probably want to pass on the local groupies.
How dare you shameless self-promote on my shameless self-promotion thread?!
;^)
:) I know... but I’m a realtor... so you know... we pretty much have no shame :)
Please, puh-lease sing GeronL’s song!
You’ll do well in the music business. ;)
I LIKED it!! I thought of Iron and Wine, soft and slow - and sad.
