Finally got a song for RPM posted. Only need 11 more by Feb 28! The bluegrass solo guitar guy sounded better than me, but it was my song and I made him sit (ha, ha).

Hey, Hey
(c) Emmrich 2010

Key: C, tempo: 110

(verse)
hey, hey what's your name
walking down the road
you're going my way
if the truth be told

(verse)
i know you’re wondering
who i am
but I hope you'll include me
in your little plans

(chorus)
i know i've taken you by surprise
i see that look in your eyes
just grab my arm i'll do no harm
let's see where this road leads

(verse)
hey, hey what's that I see
is that a little dog
I've heard that's the best friend to have
when traveling down the road

(verse)
Hey now we'll be three
you can come with us
we'll take good care of you
and you won't cause any fuss

(chorus)
i know we've taken you by surprise
i see that look in your eyes
just wag your tail on this happy trail
let's see where this road leads

(Instrumental)

hey, hey what's your name
walking down the road
you're going my way
if the truth be told

Very nice song, guitar soloing and arrangement.

I hadn't heard that blend of RT's before, nice to hear the CapeBreton piano in there.

First, thanks for the comments and sorry I didn't come back to acknowledge you all!

OK, I did a little re-mix. I decided that the song wasn't "bright" enough, so I dropped out the #691 acoustic guitar and replaced it with the #1609 rhythm mandolin. My nephew, sam, also add a couple of harmony lines.

Kevin,

This one is really a lot of fun! You did a good job of trading off the solo instruments. And like Peter, I like the CapeBreton piano. Works well in this. Good job!
