Jarvoid

Get Flash to see this player.

Description

The tune is exactly what it says on the tin,a cowboy tune ,hopefully without being cheesy either,Guitar and harmonica .........that's it.

After a few "pense arriers" I havedecided to submit this to the two track challenge ...I thought i had disqualified myself by posting too early but it would seem not.As it was originally conceived to be part of that endeavour I now
present "Cowboy" an entry for the Two Track Challenge.Thank you Andrew.

	I Always wished I was a cowboy... Always will. One day, One day............ Although I hate horses. I like what you wrote on the tin very much. Makes me wanna sit round a campfire, eat beans and blaze the saddles :) Excellent vibe Check out my latest song called Living Dead Love Song in Z minor (HALLOWEEN 2012)

	Riding Home Really enjoyed this. Seems to evoke an evening mood, tired as the sun drops below the wide open country, and the horse steps on wearily, towards hopefully a warm, snug stable with a bit of choice hay to chomp on! Thanks for the post. Marc Check out my latest song called Merrily Down The Stream

Around the campfire
Chris, to my ears, this had an authentic cowboy sound, but only with musical cowpokes who knew a thing or two about the blues. There's always a moment or two where you put in something unexpected (as you did here with that guitar twang before going into the next chorus) that is at once refreshing in it's playfulness and just perfect from a musical standpoint. This was a nice one--thanks again for bringing your music to us. You take care now! Michael

Well thanks very much
for that very nice and warm comment,Michael.There is always an element of daftness in my music...in fact I got told off by PockBluesMan this afternoon for not taking myself and music a bit more seriously....i nearly did with this....but I cannot help myself.

Thanks again

Chris
