Old Guy New Songs – notes about the music.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This collection was recorded in the winter/spring of 2022 in my spare room in Mount Pleasant, just across the Cooper River from Charleston, SC. Most of the songs are about dealing with life as a recently widowed older man. With one exception, these are not songs about death and dying; they are about life and living with intention.

 

All of the songs were recorded on a used Digital Audio Workstation, one track at a time then mixed together. They were mastered by my friend Eric Barnett, an excellent songwriter in his own right!

 

Here are the songs (unless otherwise noted I wrote them):

 

• No Simple Twists (written with Steve Shelmire)

• My Favorite Complication

• Coulda Been a Hasbeen

• My Original Song

• Seeds You Sow (written by Pernell McDaniel)

• What If It's the Last Time?

• Life's Not Over

• Let Me Be Your Rebound

• Thinking About You, I Think

• The Time Between

• Get Up and Dance

• Goodnight Song
