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.

Twas A DYLAN NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS With apologies to Bob Dylan & Clement Clarke Moore Monday, December 24, 2007 by Wade Farlowe (Capo 2nd Fret) GEmC G 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Am C D Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; G Em C G The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, Am D In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; D7 Gmaj7 D Then you'd better start sleeping or he'll pass by your home G C DG For Christmas Times a comin' GEmC G The children were nestled all snug in their beds, AmC D While visions of video games danced in their heads; G Em CG And mamma in her pj's, cause I'm such a sap, AmD Had just settled down for a long winter's nap, D7 Gmaj7 D For the loser now will be later to win G C DG For Christmas Times a comin' GEmC G When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, AmC D I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. GEm C G Away to the window I flew like a flash, Am D Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. D7 Gmaj7 D It soon shook my windows with a rattle in my room G C DG ...... Christmas Times a comin' G Em CG The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Am C D Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, G EmC G When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, AmD But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, D7 Gmaj7 D Please rub my eyes if you could lend me your hand G C DG ...... Christmas Times a comin' G EmC G With a little old driver, so lively and quick, Am C D I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. GEm CG More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, Am D And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; D7 Gmaj7 D I must be dreamin', I can't believe my ears G C DG For Christmas Times a comin' G EmC G "Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! Am C D On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! GEmC G To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Am D Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" D7 Gmaj7 D So, you'd better go to bed, better get there fast G C DG For Christmas Times a comin' G EmC G As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, Am CD When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, G EmC G So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, Am D With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. D7 Gmaj7 D So, I'd better stop creepin' or old Santa won't stop by G C DG ...... Christmas Times a comin' G Em C G And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof Am C D The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. G Em C G As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Am D Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. D7 Gmaj7 D Now I'd better start hidin' and not make any sound G C DG ...... Christmas Times a comin' G Em C G He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, Am C D And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; G Em C G A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, Am D And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. D7 Gmaj7 D He knows when we're sleepin' and knows when we're awake G C DG For Christmas Times a comin' G Em C G His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! Am C D His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! G Em C G His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, Am D And the beard of his ch

Hi Zimmy er Wade, You sound better than Zimmy doing himself. Maybe you can go on tour with him and he can stand there and you can perform. Of course you would be busted when you remembered the words! Great work. Merry Christmas Wade!

Glad to see the project all put together Wade! Candace and I just love the way you put these two all time classics together. Outstanding job channeling Dylan it has a classic flavor to it!!!!!!!!! The harmonica was the best !!!!!!!!! The words flowed to the melody perfectly...and the vocals were captured with the Dylan style and the ~Wadestar~ attitude ;) :) It also delivers the spirit of Christmas with style!!!! Love it!!!!!! It's a great new Christmas Classic in our opinion! All the stars shine on this production , a job well done! Happy Holidays :) ;) ~J&C~
