Greetings Forum Friends,
Sorry I've been off-line so long. Real life issues have kept me busy.
If you can find the time, I welcome you to listen to a song that I've been wanting to write for a few years. "These Hands" tells a true story about when my Mother-in-Law described that she always felt there was a spirit of a sort in her hands that guided her as she painted, sketched or created other artwork. I thought that was pretty cool especially since I have no ability to draw. Perhaps there really is a spirit in the artist hands that moves them like a guide.
Here's the link. I'll post all the BB tracks later and put it up on Soundcloud in a few days.
Enjoy!

Great inspiration for the song! We enjoyed the spin. Your description of me reminded us of the sculpturers who say they are only removing the stone to reveal the art within.

This is a really pretty song. Very melodic. Good melodic structure from beginning to end and hooky.

When was that picture taken? I think you are wearing my old glasses. Where did you find them???

I agree! This is my new favorite SpaceDog song! And I like the concept of a spirit in the artist's hands... very interesting thought!

Good morning all,

Thanks for listening. I appreciate your comments.

Bob, Thanks

Guenter, I'll post the lyrics on the song page on Soundclick later today. One of my friends said she thought it was best set of lyrics we've written. I tip my hat to my wife for that. She fixes my feable initial attempts.

Tommy, Glad you liked it. I thought it was an interesting idea.

Floyd, Thanks

Charlie, Glad you enjoyed the song. Thanks.

Janice & Bud, Thanks. Funny you mentioned the sculpture analogy. I thought about using that idea in song.

David, Thanks. Busted, that picture is 15 years old. I really need to post a new one.

Too late to edit the auto correct idiocy. Of course I meant "Your description reminded us..."

Just listened again and enjoyed it equally well.
