Eva's First Pugtones Song "PORCH SWING"

I like smiles and I know some very old people, and I love this song.  Very cool lyrics. It might be old, but it is still very fresh.
Really, "won't you just stop and talk for awhile,"  that could make someones day, nay, their life, especially considering every day is a gift.  This song made me cry because I just spent some time with a lonely woman, she is 85, lives alone, recently had a stroke, she is a folklorist, she knew many Native Americans, and she tells great stories about herbs, culture, and life.  She cared for the man who wrote "Black Elk Speaks" I gave her some chokecherries so she could make some jelly, but I fear she may not have the faculties any more. She is growing some Mandan Corn that came from seeds thousands of years old.  She was given it by an old Chief.  This song resonates with me.

Yea, I always like that one Warren.

Lovely stuff and a great subject -
'Respect your elders' was drummed into me and my kids have been told the same

Jesse-Thanks for listening and for your story.  That kind of thing makes writing a song worth while.  I posted this song about 9 years ago, it was one of the first Mark and I did together and the first with my sister.  There were great comments on performance and production but I am not sure how many people really listened to the words because I don't remember a lot of comments on them.  I love your story about the lady.  I pray she gets to do what her heart pleases.  I would like some of the corn and to listen to her stories!!!!  Peace, brother!
 
David- Thanks for listening.  I had to look up au courant and found that to be a very nice compliment.  I think that working with seniors and children are some of the best jobs to give back to society.  Kudos! 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Philz- Thanks, Buddy.  Eva is moving to Phoenix so we finally will have a good vocalist for our band.  I can't wait.
 
Daryl- Thanks for listening and commenting.  I always hope that my kids get it and from what I have seen they do.  They are kind and respectful.  Might be because they see the change in Ruth and I and understand we will be those people before long.  Thanks , again, THE ORIGINAL MR. DARYL1968!
 
Rob- Thanks, buddy.  Thanks for listening! 
 
 

Loved this one, guys! Guitar solo made me think he was going to play the lead to "Something". :)
 
Dug all the tones on all guitars....harmonica was great, vocals really well done, bass was right where it should be.
 
Little nit: Drums sounded a little strange with the extreme panning and could be better defined. But I read somewhere you guys had some challenges with that...so disregard.

I remember this tune. Loved it then. Love it now.

 I will call her again soon.  She likes wild plums, it is a good year for wild plums.  I think I will need to make jam for her.

I remember this, still sounds good today.

Hey Warren --- glad to see you are back on the forum.  I don't remember this song but it is a beauty.  Eva really does a great job on the vocals.  I agree it does have kind of a Karen Carpenter phrasing and easy delivery.  The bgv's carry this through. I love the harp in the intro and lead.
 
Wonderful stuff all the way around .  Mark and you did an outstanding job.
