#432606 - 10/06/17 07:07 PM [User Showcase] Shakesides Dream
Registered: 06/09/16 Posts: 3356 Robertkc Veteran Registered: 06/09/16 Posts: 3356	Shakesides Dream One of my favourite local walks goes along the shore past an old boarded up house.The place looks out on a salmon stream and salt marshes teaming with birds. Being a newcomer to the area it took me a while to find out that the house is under a demolition order. Built by Hamilton Mack Laing, a well known artist, ornithologist and writer, who donated the house and considerable funds to our town in order to create a natural history museum, a succession of local governments reneged on the agreement and things are not looking good. I`ll send this song to the folks trying to save the house. Style is _STOMPIN.STY (Stompin' Train Indie Folk) RealTracks in style: ~~2478:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 1295:Banjo, Rhythm, ModernCountrySync Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: ~598:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~~618:Fiddle, Background Allis Ev 120 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - crunchy_120_b drums ev16.wav Shakesides Dream this old house is a story a good man`s life in 3D 60 years of gales and gardens owl-eyed windows have seen when the floorboards start creaking his rocking chair will tell the tale of birds and work and wonder at the end of Mack Laing`s trail he rode across the prairie on his infernal machine set his ready-cut kit house where salt grass meets the sea six weeks to split the shakes every nail hammered by the same hand drew the falcon and the robin wrote the soul of this land don`t take Shakesides dream don`t put its treasure in a dumpster with the beams let our children lean from the windows watching salmon swim upstream please don`t take Shakesides dream can you hear the kids come laughing through the woods down the creek asking whats inside the old house still has so much to teach how to be good for something a trust is not for sale and the birds the work the wonder at the end of Mack Laing`s trail don`t take Shakesides dream don`t put its treasure in a dumpster with the beams let our children lean from the windows watching salmon swim upstream please don`t take Shakesides dream © Robert Cordrey Sept.2017

In fact, this seems like a recently discovered "lost" Pete Seeger song - everything about it... the write, the instrumentation, the vocal... Nice mix. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Its not a natural theme for me so I tried to put the "message" in an enjoyable package. I`m glad you liked this. Robert

Alan Alan, Thanks very much for your listen and positive comments. Yes, this part of B.C. is great- "a very birdy place" was one of the things that drew Mr Laing up here in the 1920`s and thankfully its still mostly unspoilt. Robert

Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey, I`m not much of a protester, but since this came to me while woods wandering I thought it should at least be recorded and added to the heritage preservation pot. Robert

Your vocal is really fitted to this type of song. I agree with floyd, that practically defines "folk music" - doing just what folk music should do - tell a story that needs telling... You are using yourself very well in this song. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Your ability to to take the listener on a "imagery journey" never fails to disappoint. The vocal is perfect for this...it's heartfelt but not overly angst ridden. Just the right balance to keep the listener engaged and wanting to listen more. And your choice of RT's and the production well support all of the above. Yep, we like it J&B _________________________ J&B Videos J&B Soundcloud J&B Website
