I Am A Seeker Our melody and some of the lyric are a derivative of "I am a Pilgrim" that has strong roots in traditional African-American spirituals. The earliest reference we found was 1864. It was popularized by Merle Travis in the late 1940's and has been recorded by hundreds of artists from the Byrds to Johnny Cash. We made lyric changes in the first three verses and wrote an entirely new fourth verse - all to more personalize it. We based the last two lines of the lyric on Ghandi's "As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world...as in being able to remake ourselves." Happy New Year to all and comments are most welcome! Vocal - Janice / two tracks w/ different FX stacked in the middle Guitar 679: Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Sw 120 / fills comped from multiple tracks Bass 1136: Acoustic-Guitar, FolkSwing Sw 110 / bars and notes comped from two tracks (I rearranged a bit of the RT to play the notes that I would if I were not lazy and put new strings on my upright! FWIW) Mandolin 610: Rhythm Chop Sw 120 Effects: Nectar 2 / Neutron / Waves Bass Rider / EMT 140 plate reverb sim Mix: Logic Pro X Mastering: Ozone 8 Adv Equipment: Rodes NT1 mic / Focusrite interface / iMac I Am A Seeker © 2017 Janice and Bud Merritt (A version of this was posted six years ago but this is a complete remake.) I AM A PILGRIM AND A SEEKER TRAVELING THROUGH THIS WONDROUS LAND I MAY HAVE A HOME WAY ON DOWN THE ROAD, GOOD LORD, BUT IT’S NOT (MY LORD, IT’S NOT) NOT MADE BY MAN I’VE GOT FAMILY AND SOME GOOD FRIENDS WHO HAVE GONE ON BEFORE AND I WONDER IF I’LL EVER SEE ‘EM, GOOD LORD, OVER ON (YES, OVER ON) SOME OTHER SHORE I MAY CLIMB UP ON THAT HIGH MOUNTAIN JUST TO REST MY WEARY SOUL IF I COULD FIND BUT A MOMENT OF PEACE, DEAR LORD, I DO BELIVE (I DO BELIEVE) IT MIGHT MAKE ME WHOLE I AM A PILGRIM AND A SEEKER TRYING TO DO SOME SMALL PART I DON’T WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD, GOOD LORD ALL I WANT (LORD, ALL I WANT) IS TO CHANGE MY HEART

Back now that Di is home from the hospital again and resting as comfortable as possible.
What a nice way to come back! This song has everything it needs and not a thing it doesn't need. I love that old southern spiritual flavor - not spiritual in the sense of "Praise the Lord", rather in using the humanity God gave me to make myself a better person.
Janice's voice is second to none and Bud's playing with the duials is always so danged superior. Everyrthi9ng about this says "Very nicely done". ANd it is. Happy New Year.

I used Ozone’s master assistant and nothing else but a one click change in it’s IRC selection. Everything else was auto. Lovin’ the tech. J&B

I've got a version of this song by the Byrds.
I liked it a lot.
You've made a great version; in this one there is a super bass.
All the other things are excellent.
Happy new 2018

J&B, beautiful song! The new verse fits like a glove! Janice's vocal is so pleasant to listen to and it carries the song so well that there is no need for any backing vocal accompaniment! Thanks, Torrey

Hi there J&B.
A faultless backing track and mix, which serves as the perfect platform for Janice
to leave me spell-bound as usual.
What else is there to say?
ROG.

J&B,
Your lyrical changes give the song a more uplifting feel (particularly liked the change from "wearsome" to "wondrous land").
Lovely crystal clear mix ... and then there`s Janice singing the tune to make us forget anyone else ever did!

Janice & Bud
Lovely. Simple but extremely effective backing - sounds crisp and professional and compliments Janice's performance. Liked the lyrical touches the dial twiddling and of course the vocal - could almost hear a choir singing along.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
