As a refugee from the 60's and the coffee house era, I have been playing as a solo artist as well as in various duets, trios and bands from Canada to England, India, Nepal, USA, and places in between... played in classic rock, country and folk bands. I try to keep my songs as light and personal as possible in the acoustic genre. A lot of my songs speak on social issues and I try to relate to the common man/woman (like myself) and the things that are important in our journey thru this time span called life. The recording/production is not professional by any means. I usually try to do one-off takes and work around the tracks to enhance the sound in the limited time and equipment I have available. I hope some of these songs will touch a place in your heart or evoke a feeling of shared consciousness. All comments and critiques are welcome. All the best.

Lyrics
Stand on the outskirts of the city heat With your back turned politely to the smog There's a mist in the forest and it smells so sweet There's nothing more natural than a fog. Chorus: Then take a look around at the concrete-covered ground Do you think that man has found all the answers Don't you think the time is coming for a change. Walk out in the country for a mile or ten Leave the city sidewalks far behind Take a look around you for a while and then Breathe the country air with your mind. There's a burning in my throat and it's growing strong The haze is bringing tears to my eyes They say it's gonna change before very long I'm gettin' kinda tired of the lies. I want to look up and see the sky I long to walk barefoot in the grass But they've covered it with concrete and I don't know why I wonder how long it's gonna last.

Hi Gordy, I have to agree with both PineDog and my friend Jamey.... a fresh tune, I can almost breathe the country air from this! It's good to have a reminder in the form of a good song to point the way without scolding.....just great music with good valid points that can't be denied!!!! Fine Work!!!! Respectfully, Wade

Great environemental slant on this one Gordy. The country arrangement keeps it light and fresh even tho the message is waving red flags. Nice chorus. Solid vox and playing...well done! Pine

Great song Gordy! And with a clear message. Unfortunately, the environment is often on the back burner with government these days. Yes! it's time for a change. Hope all is well for you.
