about

Written in Sept 2023 in Makawao. Going back to appreciation for the simple things and the fact I'm not gone yet. Set in the deep south with a bit of experience and a bit of fantasy.

Guest Guitarist- Lead slide and electric my virtuoso brother
William Duke Oatway. We bounced track stems from Hawaii to Newport, R.I. and back . It added just the right amount of grit and sweetness the song called for!

Tools: Gurian Acoustic Guitar, SM58 mic. , Midi Keys, Focusrite Scarlet pre-amp, Logic Pro on a Mac Pro Laptop.
Plug-Ins for mixing and Mastering- Waves, Fab Filter, Isotope, SSL Compressor and Abby Roads T12345

lyrics

VANISHING TIME

Down here in the lowlands
where the saw grass gets high
Spanish moss swaying to the night herons cry
Sweet smell of cyprus, muddy river roll free
And ol Mr Gator he be staring at me

Some days I'm blue
Most days I'm fine
I'm just so happy
It ain't vanishing time

I hear my darlin callin
I know she's got my back
Can't wait to get home to our little tin shack
Ain't nothing in the cupboard and the fishing was bad
But she cooks up a stew,
the best ya ever had

Some days I'm blue
Most days I'm fine
I'm just so happy
It ain't vanishing time

Some folks are poor, they got nothing to show
Some folks be rich, the got money to blow
But no matter how ya cut it we're all standing in line
Cause no one escapes vanishing time

Some days I'm blue
Most days I'm fine
I'm just so happy
It ain't vanishing time
