No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Lyrics
As Before Friday, May 19, 2006 Wade Farlowe Em (MAJ 7) Early before the spring and into the summer A2 Em (MAJ 7) Onto the winter from the fall Em (MAJ 7) I'd never been struck by such awesome wonder A2Em (MAJ 7) Until I heard her voice call Em (MAJ 7) This tour has been one that couldn't be longer A2 Em (MAJ 7) Guess I just missed her that's all Em (MAJ 7) As I feel my arms wrap around her A2 Em (MAJ 7) Just at that moment, she is gone G Then I yell out her name DA2 Em (MAJ 7) Waking to find things are still the same, as before Em (MAJ 7) Nearly sunrise this time, I almost held her A2 Em (MAJ 7) And I've been gone far too long Em (MAJ 7) The morning has broke in through wondrous colors A2 Em (MAJ 7) Still I dream her face, gotta be strong Em (MAJ 7) These times have been strange, no like unto others A2 Em (MAJ 7) Wish I could leave, but that's wrong Em (MAJ 7) My ears search the distant thunder A2 Em (MAJ 7) Just as I whisper out her name G Then I'm put to the test D A2 Em (MAJ 7) Facing all those things close to the vest, as before Am Em (MAJ 7) C D(war sound effects) Am Em (MAJ 7) C D Am Em (MAJ 7) Am Em (MAJ 7) Am Am Em (MAJ 7) C D Am Em (MAJ 7) C D Am Em (MAJ 7) C D Am Em (MAJ 7) Am Em (MAJ 7) Am Dsus4 Dm D4 A7 A2 A Em (MAJ 7) As I sit here writing my thoughts in this letter A2 Em (MAJ 7) One thing I want you all to know Em (MAJ 7) I really miss home, I miss down-home weather A2 Em (MAJ 7) Really I miss you all though Em (MAJ 7) The sarge caught one and tore up his shoulder A2 Em (MAJ 7) Guess that's his ticket to go Em (MAJ 7) Tell Jana, I can't wait to hold her A2 Em (MAJ 7) I dream the moment, I get home G Then I yell out her name D A2Em (MAJ 7) Waking to find things are still the same, as before

Hi Wade, Really like the story. Are you ex military or current? Oh like the war sound effects. Makes my listen more realistic. As usual you are painting a great picture with your music. You are a clearly a cut from the zimmy cloth. Now can you remember your words? LOL!
