Howdy Friends, been a while.

This post from Torrey inspired me to post again.

That's very inspiring Torrey and well said.

Back To "Barcy"

If Interested.......
This is a warts and all "organic" {FX and Plug in free} recording because I was tired of over producing everything.
The song began life in BIAB using GOODNITE.STY but the song is in 6/8, and I am not satisfied with BIAB 6's, so all the tracks were replaced . For convenience I played all the midi patterns that I required into EZKeys which is far easier than trying to mic an acoustic piano. But I can thank BIAB for giving me the original inspiration.
Key A Tempo 65 Time signature 6/8
Sorry that some of the lyrics will confuse you but the essence of the song is that small town people everywhere are the "salt of the earth".
Your feedback helps me to improve so please comment if there is anything you don't like or where I could do better.

"Barcy" is Barcaldine, Queensland.

Heading to "Barcy" to visit my dusty home town
It hasn't changed much , by sundown there's no-one around
Driving down Elm street , I'm travelling back to the past
When I was a kid - where I used to live.

(chorus)

I was a cowboy from the day I could walk
Can drive any tractor , can ride any horse
Muster the cattle while keeping the dingos away
On Saturday night oh boy did we fight
But fammine or flood we would quickly unite
The life of a Jackaroo out on those wide sunburnt plains


By the "Tree of Knowledge" I stole my first kiss
Down by "La Creek" we caught plenty of fish
Running barefoot thru the creeks, grass and mud
We stained the Golden Wattle with our blood
I learnt how to fix anything and use it again
Don't throw it away - those were the days

(chorus)
(outro)
The sky is so big , the stars are so bright
I boiled the billy and settled down for the night
I came back to "Barcy" where life is peaceful and good
Just as it should.
