Back on September 23, I posted the lyrics to a song I had written many years ago (circa 1986). Now here is the song itself, which I just had digitized.
Please note that this is *not* me singing it. Why? Simple: I didn’t like my voice, so I hired a singer (a Concordia U. voice student), paying her all of $45 and a dozen bagels! I also booked a studio in the Plateau for a half-day, so well worth the $200 which was big money for me then. The great thing about the place was that – aside from the kick-ass sound quality – the owner, Ian Cooney, arranged harmonies, played guitar and bass and sang on one of the tracks as well.
(I love the studio name: Cooneytunes! I’m not sure if the one I googled now is the same place.)
There were two other songs recorded on the demo tape that morning, which you can click on afterwards if you feel like it.
Ok so I will admit that I love, love, love folk music! Now a true folk music lover may think that my favorites are too commercial but I love Simon and Garfunkle, Joanie Mitchell, Peter, Paul and Mary and the list goes on. Our church had a folk group that would play during Mass and I just loved it!
Now….to YOU…
I loved all three Ellie, but I think that “Country Man” is my favorite!
You are such a talented person! How do you contain yourself? LOL!!!
Just brimming all OVER the place with creativity! LOL!!!
