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.

Honky Tonk Blues Too (Grandpa Always Said) Sunday, September 03, 2006 Wade Farlowe E Grandpa always said life's too short to stay up all night A7 And sleep all day G E You better change your ways B7 E Better stay away from them Honky Tonk Blues E In life's pilgrimage, you're just here killin' time, but time ends up A7 A killin' you G E You better learn what to do B7 E Better stay away from them Honky Tonk Blues Break ( E A7 G E B7 E) E Grandpa always said life's got potholes and mud to sling A7 It comes back at you G E You better wipe your shoes B7 E Better stay away from them Honky Tonk Blues E As life does unfold, you're dust till dusk and ashes to crashes A7 You're gonna rust G E You better learn what to trust B7 E Better stay away from them Honky Tonk Blues Break ( E A7 G E B7 E) E Listen to me son, life's what you make it, but sometimes A7 It's life that makes you G E You better think it though B7 E Better stay away from them Honky Tonk Blues E Pappy always said you've got a farm to work on this rural route A7 Just pay your dues G E Or else you're gonna loose B7 E Better stay away from them Honky Tonk Blues B7 E Better stay away from them Honky Tonk Blues

intro is an excellent idea. You play and sing a kind of pure country music. But that makes it very impressive and haunting. Unique style!! Greetings OBB

Candace & I really love this version of your splendid song. The lyrics tell a story of Grandpas worldly wisdom. It is a wonderful tail ,and you deliver the vocals with excellence. The backing vocals were exceptionally well done. The warmth of your vocals always are pleasing to our ears!!!! The acoustic sounds perfect and has a wonderful tone to it. The melody is smooth and flows gently throught the song. The bass sounds great ,we love the style you utilize to perfection! Just plain great!!!!! We have always loved this song,and now we love it even more! We will add it to our personal station! In our opinion it's a winner, and deserves a perfect score, and that's what we give it! Thanks for putting this classic gem up ~Taders~ It's a keeper :) :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LL&Peace ~J&C~ to ~OMT~
