Btw, as I was preparing this post (at Sea’s urging) he told me he was going to bed. Which is why he hasn’t come around to comment. He’s planning to get up to record at three a.m. when things are quiet.
I love what Sea made out of my song. He truly made it his own — with a great assist from Kevin Scanlon on banjo, etc. — and I believe it could well become an alt-country hit.
I also hope folks will follow the link back to my original version of the song, which I still think is an excellent specimen of musicality, and of which I still take a lot of pride.
What we have here are two distinct songs and I hope folks will check ‘em both out!
It’s saddens me to hear the term “alt-country…” that song is straight up country. I don’t know what Nashville is doing now, but it ain’t country. yeah that 3 AM thing didn’t work out. I was beat!
It was a fine song to begin with. And it was very gracious of Jonathan to let me tweak it a touch! He’s a much better guitar player than I am, so please check out the original version!
Sea, your voice is gold on this one. What a song! Yeehaw!
Thanks for tuning in, Malcolm
Mr. Potter made it easy with his originals version, and especially his lyrics!
BTW check my post for May 4
Dog, my old bones say no.
Potter may be out to sea but this song is definitely not under water.
Thanks, Stan
I swear I was visited by the ghost of Kenny Roger’s after listening to this song.
Yes 🙌

I wish someone would put music to my poems! I love your poem!
Your poem “I am a poet” would lend itself nicely to being put to music
So awesome. Way to go!
Thanks, Monica
We appreciate the kind words, Monica! Everyone’s support is what keeps us running!

I agree, I just used that term in hopes that you might infiltrate the charts and hit the big time.
This one's stuck in my head! Great work. I love the chorus.

You, sir, are a pro and a real musician. I am an extreme amateur.
I wouldn’t go that far. As your lyrics go, you’re as good as anyone.
“I’m a poet, I know it, hope I don’t blow it”
lol!!!
