Dazy Days on Soundcloud
Dazy Days on YouTube Another twist on the dog days of summer. A dazy day is a lazy day with no thinking --just drinkin'. And maybe puttin' a line in the water to make it look like yer doin' somethin'. Style is _SUNDAZE.STY (Sun Daze Acoustic 12-8 Blues), although the only part I kept was the one acoustic guitar. RealTracks in song: 2167:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Country12-8John Sw 065 RealTracks in style: 2674:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Blues12-8Brent Sw 065 RealTracks in song: 4199:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm SongwriterGentleRnBChop Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 2856:Harmonica, Background CountrySlowSwingJellyRoll Sw 085 RealTracks in song: ~~615:Harmonica, Background HeeHaw Sw 165 RealTracks in song: 3419:Jaw Harp, Rhythm CelticJig68 Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~~1678:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Sw 085 RealDrums in Song: CajonFolkShuffle I played bass and sang. Dazy DaysToday's gonna be a lazy day fishin' in the brook. I'm gonna lay agin that old oak tree and watch my fishin' hook. The clouds roll by, the Sun is high and Nature's music plays. The fish won't even swim these dazy days. As time flys by I realize this is what life needs. So I'll lay my back on this old oak tree and live with the weeds. My bobbin floats, there are no boats and Nature's music plays. The fish won't even swim these dazy days. Just drinkin' moonshine and drawing on my pipe Relaxin' like a woodpile like m' doc p'escribed. The day turns to dusk and bullfrogs start croakin' for a mate. Time to reel in line, bid my fish farewell and go. It's gettin' late. When nighttime falls my bedroll calls. I watch the new moon phase. The crickets say goodnight on dazy days. I hope tomorrow brings more dazy days. V-- C C F F C C G G7 C C7 F Fm C G C-F C- BR-- F Am G C F C G C

LOVE your vocal!
Perfect track choices. Lazy & Rhythmic.
The harmonica is true Icing On The Cake.
Terrific mix. A terrific listen.
Big rockin' chair. Big hat pulled low. I'm gonna take a quick nap now...
Yeah, leave that radio right there...

Marty,
Love this... The laid back grove and awesome vocal really bring this song to life.
The instrumentation is great and I really like how you used the harmonicas - excellent! The mix is perfect.
A new favorite for me alongside of your many excellent songs.

Ha! Marty, your songs overflow with joy, and it's infectious. Great topic/lyrics, super vocals (cool little yodel and other misc inflections) and sparkly mix. Just a perfect little song, expertly delivered. Another great one...you make this look too easy!

Another good one man.
Brings back memories as a kid fishin' on those dazy days of Summer when it didn't matter if you caught anything or not.
Great lyrics; especially
Relaxin' like a woodpile like m' doc p'escribed.

Marty...again a different feel and genre....very cool and laid back...this has a "Huck Finn" feel throughout...love the lazy swing...it reminds me of watching my dad relax after a hard workday on the old hammock he built out of an old wooden barrel...nice vocal and verbiage...a perfect fit for this relaxing tune...the harmonica is killer and apropos...a "lazy mans" instrument for sure...another variation of "Mr. Versatile"(aka: Marty Straub)!

Marty, you've written my theme song! Or at least what I'd love my theme song to be. Sure like this stuff man. That harmonica reminds me of those old laid back Hee Haw tunes!

For me personally, fishing is as interesting as watching paint dry, but apart from that I really enjoyed your song.
Your voice has a nice deep character that fits the song very well.
Good mix and a perfect choice of instruments.
Well done, my friend...

Cool song. This is similar in sentiment to that old marshall Tucker song Bob away my blues from the searching for a rainbow album.
Loved your voice on that. Perfect grit for the song

Straight up super.
I can imagine Ry Cooder doing this slightly TexMex'd on Chicken Skin Music.
Recline in line.

fjzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Haha! Glad you picked up on the emphasis of the zzzzzs there, floyd. Yeah, only the one guitar with Brent is from the Style. The other guys had to be replaced by the more lazy fellas. Really, thanks so much, floyd. Marty,

Bob Thanks, Bob. Yeah, like I did in that one song with Janice (See you down the road), I needed a slightly different harmonica for the solo. BiaB to the rescue. Ha! Marty, your songs overflow with joy, and it's infectious. Great topic/lyrics, super vocals (cool little yodel and other misc inflections) and sparkly mix. Just a perfect little song, expertly delivered. Another great one...you make this look too easy! Thanks, Ron. I think I redid the vocal like 9 times, trying to get the right amount of country yodel like a teenager whose voice is cracking. It should probably be redone again, but I'll always think that. I post so I can stop mixing. Another good one man.

Relaxin' like a woodpile like m' doc p'escribed. Thanks, Steve. My fishin' friends usually didn't invite me cuz I preferred skipping rocks. Thanks for the nod to the country doctor. My daughter went to a new doctor once, and he prescribed ballroom dancing --even wrote it on a preseciption pad. She knew right away that he was a keeper.

A great accompaniment to nature's music. My sister Daisy would love it! As ever a very original song from you and can't fault the production in any way. That your material is always accompanied by great videos is a plus as they don't distract from the music as mine often do
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Well done, my friend... Thanks, Brain. Yeah, I would've been with you on fishing trips. I'd rather climb trees, and my friends would remind me the fish could see me and were scared. So I skipped rocks --that made the fishermen scared. So I'd go for a walk in the woods. The rocks and trees liked me because they saw me as a guy who saves fish. hehe

Thanks so much for putting such a big one on my face, Greg. It seems that writing a song (now that I have to be the one to sing them) involves creating the right actor to play the lead role. Cool song. This is similar in sentiment to that old marshall Tucker song Bob away my blues from the searching for a rainbow album.
Loved your voice on that. Perfect grit for the song Marshall Tucker? Listened to them a lot and I'm sure some of it sunk in to those places where we don't no where the creativity comes from. I was hoping you'd like this one. Thanks, Herb, Straight up super.
I can imagine Ry Cooder doing this slightly TexMex'd on Chicken Skin Music.
Recline in line. Thanks, Ray. Great comment, my friend. A great accompaniment to nature's music. My sister Daisy would love it! As ever a very original song from you and can't fault the production in any way. That your material is always accompanied by great videos is a plus as they don't distract from the music as mine often do Thanks, Chay. Tell your sister I said Hey --- or is it Hay? Your music far exceeds the need for a video, but since 70+% of our sensory receptors are for vision, we make videos. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, man. If folks knew what it takes to make them like you do, they would SEE with their mirror neurons just how amazing they are.

Love the groove! And your vocal is perfect for this one, Marty.
Excellent! Thanks, Dave. A lazy groove for sure. Of course, the busiest piece is the bass played by the guy who'd rather skip rocks, climb trees or build forts. heha Hi Marty
What a cool song
And who could sing this song better than you ???
Really fun to listen to you
Really cool and really good
Andi ;-) Thanks, Andi. Man, if I gave you a list of the humans that could sing this better... well, there's not enough paper and ink for that. I love your vocal interpretation!!! So enjoyable.
You picked the perfect instrumentation for the feel of this song. Thanks, Scott. Right? Ya gotta have an harmonica to keep the fire going.
