An exercise in laying down tracks -- two here, and an attempt at two-part harmony.

Eclectic.
Thirty-five years after I learned how to strum three chords, I decided maybe it was time to try to learn how to play the guitar, so that's where I am. I won't live long enough to do it properly, but maybe I'll get a little better before I shuffle off. I'm trying to learn fingerstyle and classical stuff, mostly, and I do it on a couple classical (nylon string) guitars.

Story behind the song
This is a song about children and grandchildren. If you know that, I think it makes sense.
Lyrics
I We tried so hard to get it right/ We thought weÕd done it good/ But we missed the mark we set too high/ And it didnÕt go the way we thought it would. Chorus: Maybe itÕll be different now, the second time around/ Maybe they will hear the call, and maybe weÕll be found/ WeÕre older and weÕre wiser and weÕre on familiar ground/ Maybe itÕll be different now, the second time around. II Looking back is easy, but painful, donÕt you know/ We never knew the places we were destined then to go/ The river runs just one way/ you canÕt swim against the flow. (Chorus) Bridge You canÕt see the future/ You cannot change the past/ All you have is just the moment/ And it never, ever lasts. III The autumn leaves have fallen/ the winter brings its snow/ But the smallest smiles are warm and bright/ And they love you as you go. (Chorus)
