This is another song from 'Waiting in the Wings' album and for this one I wrote lyrics and music. Tells story of someone only being around for the good times and disappearing for the bad. https://soundcloud.com/tonycliffsongs/fair-weather-friendHere is the lyric: Fair Weather Friend © Tony Cliff 2018 Verse1 All those years of playing gigs In drunken noisy bars All those years of travelling Well I still bear the scars You just want the glamour To dress up like a queen The lady of the manor Just likes to be seen Verse 2 All the years of working For my overnight success All the nights in cheap hotels And other people’s mess You disappeared then You’re nowhere to be found How come you’re here again Glad to be around Chorus ‘Cos now my songs are playing on the radio And my album’s doing OK You show up out of nowhere Like you’ve never been away You might call me a cynic But I know how these things end And so I say it loud and clear You’re my fair weather friend Oh babe, just a fair weather friend Style is _EAGLL.STY (Even 8 Country w/ Pedal Steel ) RealTracks in style: ~406:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 136 RealTracks in style: ~406:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 136 RealTracks in style: ~621:Pedal Steel, Background Easy Ev 136 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven8^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Open I faded the RealTrack pedal steel in and out but played in VST Resonator for the lead. I added my fingerstyle acoustic and solo. Added Ivory II upright piano and Trilian Bass part. Occasional cymbals from Addictive Drums 2 and some Shimmer Shake Strike. Then my vocal and backing vocals.

Thanks for comments. Wish I could play guitar like Mark Knopfler. Keyboard’s my main instrument but I also like to play fingerstyle acoustic and occasional electric.

Hi Tony,
I like it a bunch. And I agree, it has a Dire Straits aura - nothing wrong with that! Nice, clean mix. This is very well put together
