[ornotna]

4. I like it

Great job! :thumbsup:

[Gothic Sponge]

5. Nobody listens to my Bush song, so it's not just you.

Very nice! Nice guitar work! Vocals remind me of the Kinks.

:thumbsup:

[Barad Simith]

7. Thanks, Gothic_Sponge

Your song and the one by Near Myths are both in my "keepers" folder.

[enigmatic]

28. Hey, I'll play yours, too..

Let me know if you want it played on my station..

[Barad Simith]

6. I love it

Very well done!

[tibbir]

8. That is really well done.

The guitars are fantastic.

[Liberal_Andy]

9. Thank you, all. I've been wanting to share this with you for some time.

I wish someone would use it in a campaign commercial. I think it would be effective. Does anyone else?

[LWolf]

12. Yes.

You wouldn't even need any text until the very end; just some photos to go with it, with a text message filling the screen when the song ended.

Don't cable companies provide public access channels that you don't have to spend the gross domestic product of a small nation to get air time?

[LWolf]

10. I'm listening right now.

Nice guitar.

It has a wistful, tender tone to it. I feel grief, rather than outrage, for what we have become, for what we have lost.

I like it.

:thumbsup:

[Liberal_Andy]

11. Thanks, LWolf!

for the kind words.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. This was excellent! Thank you!

I am bookmarking this, so I can listen to it again! And I do recognize the reference, LOL! Very clever and very well done.:-)

[ncrainbowgrrl]

15. I like it!

:hi: from a fellow NC person. How's it going up in your neck of the woods?

[Liberal_Andy]

16. going well around here.

Hopefully, part of the Near Myths will be performing in G'boro in the near future. Guess that'll make us Partial Myths.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. That I can do!

Actually someone I know pointed it out to me, because he thought it was so good, so I will pass it on to others! They'll love it!:D

[Dem_Loyalist]

17. Thats very VERY good!

Thanks for sharing. Theres a lot of depth in those words. I like it a lot.

[Liberal_Andy]

18. thanks, Dem_Loyalist!!! (that name excludes Zell)

I appreciate it. There's more depth in the music after a couple beers too!

[MrScorpio]

19. I like it a lot

It would great if it was covered by Zeppelin

[rockymountaindem]

20. Yeah man, Zeppelin.

[Liberal_Andy]

22. thanks, MrScorpio

Do you know the Zep's e-mail addy?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. Hot damn that's some fret worthy finger pickin Andy!

Great tune...loved it! Thanks for posting it!

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Thank you! I just listened to it again. This is really very good.

I'm thinking now of all the people I know who will enjoy it, as well. They all are familiar with Bush*'s mangled speech in Tennessee. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
:yourock:

[alittlelark]

25. Too cool!!!

Got my 10 year old dancing!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

26. I'm picturing this and smiling

That is cool, as is the song!:D

[enigmatic]

27. Pretty good!

Mind if I play it on my station?

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Only he can answer, but I think that this would be pretty cool!

Since I'm kicking this, hopefully, he will see your request. I really enjoyed this song and have promised to pass it on, but you can sure do me one better!:D

[Liberal_Andy]

30. No, I wouldn't mind. Please do. Tell me about your station.

enigmatic, please let me know when you're going to play it.

Here are the song credits.

FOOL ME ONCE
Copyright 2004 Andy Oglesby

Recorded at Barton College July 23 & August 28, 2004
Produced by Liberal Andy and Phil Valera
Engineered by Phil Valera
Performed by The Near Myths

Katy Adams - 12-string guitar, harmony vocal
Jim Clark - banjo, harmony vocal
Bernadette and Ben Greene - northern exposure
Andy Oglesby - guitars, lead vocal
Terry 'Teep' Phillips - bass, drums, electric guitar

Phil Valera - co-producer, engineer, tambourine

We recorded nine songs, mixed this one first, due to it's "timeliness". FMO is the only "protest song", the rest are kinda,.....classic southern folk-rock and silly love songs. The CD "WILSON", should be finished by New Years.

I'm not talkin' 'bout a regular guy
'Cause he's never ever wrong and he can't tell a lie
And you're with him now, or the other guy.

I'm not talkin' 'bout an honest man
Sent your son to a foreign land
Now there's blood on the ground, and on his hands.

"Fool me once, sh-sh-sh-shame on you.
Fool me, can't get fooled again."

Nobody's gonna get away with that
Somebody's gonna hafta pay for that
Somebody's son not coming back, not coming back.

Anybody out there know John Kerry, please play it for him.

38. Played it tonight on the A.M. Gumbo show; Great stuff, Andy!

It'll be the first song every night this week on the "A.M. Gumbo" show (1am ET/10pm PT) for anyone that want to tune in, as well as on "The Recluse Show" this thursday...

[Liberal_Andy]

31. about that link

the short version;

http://home.nc.rr.com/clarkja

links to Jim Clark's web page (banjo, vocal on FMO). Jim released a CD last year called "BURIED LAND", and it's very much worth checking out. It's a collection of his poetry and traditional Appalachian folk songs. If you go to the web page above and click on "CDs", it should give you a choice between "Buried Land" and "The Near Myths" (if not, click 'refresh'). FMO is the only thing at the Myths site so far, so check out Jim's CD, please.

The Near Myth Official web page is near, but still mythical.

32. I'll take a listen as soon as I get home...

In the mean time, I'll plug my seemingly worthless tune:

http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?pid=424499&T=7343

[Liberal_Andy]

33. I like that a lot B the B Man

The Hammond sounds like it's being played through a Leslie? No?

LA

[Beware the Beast Man]

34. Actually, it's a soundfont.

I used with my Fruity Loops program. It was by far the most realistic B-3 soundfont I have heard. And yes, it does sound as if it's amped through a Leslie. Thanks for the feedback! :hi:

[Liberal_Andy]

35. maybe I'm showing my age.

If you get to listen to Fool Me Once (copyright 2004 ao), try and figure out what kind of lead guitar & amp. You'll never guess it, but humor me.

[Liberal_Andy]

36. last kick

see post 30 for credits :kick:

Here's to The Near Myths! My Buds!

:beer: :toast:

[Rhiannon12866]

37. No, not the last. I listened to it, again, tonight

And I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Thanks, again.:-)

[Beware the Beast Man]

39. Finally got a chance to listen.

Excellent! Beautiful and funny at the same time. The refrain is priceless, as is the soundbite.
And thanks for you $.02 on my track! :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

40. I just listened to it again!

I had to come back here to pick up the link to send to my friend who just got sound on her computer at work, today, and I know she'll just love it!:D
