Hi everyone,

I've been doing a lot of non-lightfoot stuff lately (sorry) and decided to post some of my new videos but didn't want to sully my GL cover thread with them.

The first one is a new original. The rest are various covers. Interestingly there is one original. I hope you enjoy them all, and I hope I can figure out how to post the links without embedding the videos.

Tim Dennis - Frost and Firelight

I'm sure they will be enjoyable as always.......when I get the time to listen to them.

As far as avoiding the embedding :You can change that at any time.

1) Log in
2) Edit your post
3) Scroll down below the white text box and choose 'Go Advanced'
4) Scroll down again below the text box and you will see the various options
5) Unclick the 'Automatically embed media' option box
6) Save it

A benefit to not embedding is that the user is sent directly to your site when clicking on the link. From there, your other offerings are readily available.

How is "It's Worth Believin' " coming along ?

Well, that was easy. Thanks RM! I have played around with It's Worth Believin' a few times. It's really just a matter of being in the right mood for it. I think it was too soon after Steel Rail Blues to do that one. I think it may have been you who pointed out that they are very similar chord-wise. It will get done. Probably a lot sooner than many others already on the list. I'm sorry I'm so slow about it.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Tim's original tune. It's well worth a listen for those of you that haven't heard it. The music and lyrics compliment each other nicely.

Same here. Wonderful imagery.

Tim, I think you should start fleshing out as many original tunes as possible and get that CD rolling.

thanks unsettled and RM! I really appreciate the encouragement. The encouragement I've gotten here in the past is partly responsible for my having written this latest one.

I do want to write more, and since finishing this song, I've been poking around the guitar looking for new melodies. Not sure I've found any keepers yet, but I'm working on it.

by the way Ron, I gave one of your songs another listen today too. I really like "1000 pieces of blue." Just wanted to say
