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.

Story behind the song
Wrote this song after a long talk with a french traveller who was at a low point in her life in Goa, India.
Lyrics
It was springtime when she left her home With a sparkle in her eye It was winter when I met her Said she'd seen much better times She said you know I've lookin' for a better way of life And I'm gonna keep on searchin' till I find it. She told me about the good times And all the fun she'd had She said I'm not gonna try to fool you none There's also been the bad I believe that love's the answer But sometimes it's so hard To walk the straight and the narrow in this world. Chorus: Lady keep on walkin' and hold your head up high Baby keep on talkin', keep the sparkle in your eye There's a better world a-comin by and by. She said I realize it's hard sometimes To live the words you speak And even when they knock you down To turn the other cheek But if there really is a better world I'll walk the extra mile She said to me as she turned away With a teardrop and a smile.

Really like this one Gordy. Not just a good arranegment but with excellent lyrics and a vocal delivery that is ace. I also loved the tones on the instruments. The harp is nice frosting and adds another dimension. The feel of the tune just pulls you in...this is good!!
