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.

Weathered Wednesday, June 24, 2006 Wade Farlowe A2 C D A2 C D G G Am D You could bend all the rules with an open mind CG Or just stay closed and bide your time AmD Bend too far and you're gonna break C G We can't take back the wars or love we make Am D You could police plans with a closed thought C G Or open change, constantly wrought Am D Cop too much and you're standing still C G E7 We can't will 'way the sun or rain without a weathered sill FE7 Weathered still, weathered till(walk down to A) Am D Open your windows and close your doors C G But remember what your safe is for Am D Keep your fences tight with an open gate C G We can't take back the loss or gains we make Am D You build on your house with one time plans C G Or tear it down and start again Am D Master all that you now survey C G E7 We can't have foundations or past plans being weathered away F E7 Weathered today, weathered away(walk down to A) Am D C G Throw it all into the melting pot, then we'll count the votes you've got A2 C Drepeat music out (fade) A2 C D G G

We love the music in this all inspiring song!!!! The walking guitar parts were superb, the tone of the acoustic was captured rich, & strong...excellent...tight bass line in there. I think the harp might work well in this too???? The writing gets us stirred up, we love the way you use the words to weave a tapestry of truthful wisdom. Eloquently phrased through out this awe inspiring work of art!!!!! The message profound and deliberate, we loved loved the artwork you used to paint a clear picture for us listeners. The twins were a perfect example!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They put the B. in bushwhackers!!!!!!!! They prove ignorance is bliss!!!!!!!
