I'm Guilty.
-Guilty of slagging on my music, while trying to improve my online skills, work through the pain, stay alive, stay marginally happy, stay nice and trying to keep my wife smiling all at the same time.
In the next few days, I'll be re-stringing and cleaning my Strat and Washburn guitars, re-build my guitar callouses, and continue with my re-trackings. OMG! -These past few weeks have been soooo busy, and the next few weeks look overly busy too! -I was soooo mistaken to even TRY to put a "finish date" on my "Some Things I've Said" CD project.
-This WILL take me some time to do closer to "right".
My list of "songs to recreate" has been altered (again...), due to a lack of musical help, and some old songs "just not feeling right" when I play them now. -Plus, I have half a mind to write a new song, or two (or three) for my finished product. -I'm sooo torn between the past and present, and it's tearing me apart whenever I try to play them.
I'm sure that MANY people, out there, totally understand what this all feels like.
(sighs)
I'm trying to "lure" a local musician or two to help me get some of these old things redone, and maybe do a few somethings new at the same time. -My God, the time this all takes...
My VOX friends have listened to many versions of some of my songs, and they all know that more are "on their way", but I decided to re-post some of what I'm re-working for "Some Things I've Said".
Some of the versions I'm posting today, will be improved for the CD, but this is some of what you all can expect of the finished product, only a little better. -For my VOX regulars here, thank you so much, for your continued patience and verbal support! -For anyone new here to my site, I hope you can enjoy what it is I'm trying so hard to pull together for this CD, and currently do all by myself.
1) Unfinished Business
2) Lost Within A Song
3) Popcorn ( A Small Drum Cadence)
4) Fixin' To Rain Again
5) Envision
6) A Peaceful Storm Warning
7) See You Tonight
I thought I'd put these up again, since I posted a comment at Columbia Demos a few minutes ago.
Once again, here is "Popcorn" , "Lost Within A Song" and "Unfinished Business" for your convienence.
Enjoy!
Every so often, I feel compelled to make my music readily available, in a recent post, to make it easier for newer visitors to find them. A few people have recently added me to their neighborhood, but have said nothing to me.
-Wait... -I just heard from one...
-I guess that's one way to invite me to look at their page. I should have some time this weekend to go look around my other neighborhood, and see what they're posting.
Unemployed, but busy. Yep. -That's me.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy my music. And, know that more are coming soon!
Once again I present: Popcorn, Unfinished Business, and Lost within A Song.
I edited this post a few times today, and so I should.
Actually, it's been edited several times over the past few days.
I think of my son ALWAYS..., And, I worry for him.
He believes that I NEVER cared about him, when REALLY, I did, and do. -A Flori-duhhh court granted, then ILLEGALLY DENIED me of my visits with him (AND, a supposed daughter...). -BOTH, at the same time, and merely because I could not pay them to complain about what it was they had begun to do to me.
My kids were raised to believe some other dude was their dad, while they billed me for it, and denied me of an active role in "my" child's lives. -Legalized CHILD-STEALING, while they bill this UNPROVEN FATHER for it. Why didn't they have to prove paternity? They sued ME!!! -Isn't the burden of proof SUPPOSED TO BE on the accuser?
Innocent, 'till PROVEN guilty my a**.
So now, I'm behind on these court-ordered child stealing payments, while I sit here denied of my visits (-even online visits), going from doctor to doctor disabled and unemployed, and labled a "deadbeat" for it all, even 'tho I send what I'm able to get my hands on. (-I don't make money from my music. -God must hate me, because CRAPPY artists are getting paid GOOD for their so-called "craft", while I sit here hopeless, pennyless, and unable to do better... -Waiting for our "great healthcare system" to fix me, and get me back to work.) ALL these kids know, is what she (and THEY) told them. -All else, to them, is lies. -INCLUDING whatever I have to say to them. -And, for THIS, I must pay them for, under the fraudulant disguise of "child support".
Ummm excuse me, doesn't child support include a fathers nurturing touch? -Or is it all about the money now?
I PITY this country if Clinton becomes president, because son, she'd be just like your mother. -Cold, heartless and bitter towards ALL men. (-You'll be one soon too, ya know...) -A father's "rights" will be FURTHER suppressed. SURELY, our FOREFATHERS are rolling in their graves at the mere thought of all of this. It is NOT the principals this country was founded upon, I'm SURE of it. -This wasn't supposed to be like this...! The United States was founded by people who wanted to escape a queens oppression, and here we go, pushin' to put a "queen" in office merely to be trendy and "history making".
When I complained to Mrs. Clinton's Buffalo, NY office about my Flori-duhh injustice, I was QUICKLY informed that she doesn't deal with Justice and Law... -THAT is "the Justice departments" job. (Whaaat? -You don't care about justice?)
-PLUS, "Mrs. Healthcare" has the NERVE to ask why Nurses make as much as they do, which happens to be FAR LESS than what they REALLY deserve.
Hillary, I'll bet almost ANYTHING that YOU couldn't save a life if YOUR LIFE depended upon it.
Universal healthcare. -That'll be the day.
-I ALSO have issues with a certain candidate (Obama Bin Next) who has an ARAB heritage, so soon after 9/11. I'm NOT against blacks in ANY way, but I have questions about certain folks running for president, who have an ARAB heritage so soon after 9/11. He might ought to be deported from the USA just as fast as the US NAZI dog handler the USA is about to deport from our so-called "land of the free", even 'tho he PERSONALLY harmed NO person..
But, back to the topic at hand.
Son, your mother and I PERMANENTLY HATE each other for what WE BOTH did to each other WAAAAY BACK THEN, but if there hadn't been LOVE, at SOME point, we WOULD NOT have married.
-That really doesn't make me a "bad guy".
This song should accurately describe how I BOTH felt THEN, AND now.
With what this life has been for me, I'm pretty much convinced that THERE IS NO GOD, ONLY people who are richer, and slicker-tongued than I'll ever be. If God TRUELY loved ALL of his people, this kind of S*** wouldn't even happen to the most disgusting person on the face of the earth.
-Even Bin Laden hasn't yet been punished correctly, but God forbid I miss a child-stealing payment.
WTF happened to the priorities around here?
GOD.. Please VINDICATE ME NOW!!!! -That's all I ask.
Son, this song is how I feel tonight.
Son, SOOOO MUCH you know NOTHING about...
At long last, here it is!
As I've said before, this song was originally created back in 1993 by myself, and my friend Robert. He wrote the majority of the lyrics (-I just threw in a word here and there) and I created the music. On this recording, I did everything... And, it's recreation was completed (?) on 9/11. -It just took me this long to convert the files into MP3 format and post it here.
This song has never been online, never been on a CD, and has never been a part of any recorded project...
-'Till now.
I'll tell you right now that I'm no singer, but someone had to sing it, and I'm the only one here... So I HAD to! -I hope it's not too terrible!
The lyrics are posted beneath the MP3 for your convienence.
I hope you find it to be both different, and enjoyable! -Let me know what you think of it!
Lost Within A Song
(Lyrics: R. Lockwood/J. Nelson - Music: J. Nelson)
Down in the schoolyard, I see the children play... -It takes me back to a brighter day
Once in a while, girl, I see you standin' there... -It makes me feel better days are near...
Girl, I can't wait forever
And only time will tell if I was wrong
-So many days, uncounted, are lost within a song
If you could see this role you've cast me in... -A passion play that all the world attends...
The center of attraction was always you and me.
Girl, I can't wait forever
So, why you gotta make me hurt this way?
So many days uncounted, as dreams are washed away.
Down in the schoolyard, I see the children play...

I'm still working on the songs (off and on) for the "Some Things I've Said" CD. I thought now would be a good time to let you know a little about the next song I'll be posting here within the next week. (-I just couldn't wait!!!)
"Lost Within A Song" was originally written in 1993 by myself and a friend of mine, named Robert. I created the music, and Robert wrote the majority of the lyrics. (-I just threw in a word here and there.) 'Tho this song has been played by us many, many times (-even live), this song has never been online, has never been on a CD and has never been a part of any recorded project.
-'Till now.
This is a song I have always liked, but I have never recorded it outside of my own personal cassette tapes. I don't really know why, I just never did.
I look forward to sharing it with you very soon, so stay tuned!
