Not played on a CBG, but I thought I would post it anyway since it will be on a largely CBG album. A song about the coming changes with the end of the petroleum age.

Thanks, I really enjoyed the playing style, just tried copying something like it here in the office.

Very cool. Look forward to it. Enjoy.

@bemuzic - Albums are coming out in August, I hope!  I am having trouble getting good quality recordings of the gitfiddle, so I need to work that out until its a bit better.

@Keni Lee -- yeah, you're right, but I am actually making two different albums.  One is roots & blues, and the other is folk and socially conscious music.  

Comment by Keni Lee Burgess on June 21, 2012 at 11:47pm

Very nice, but as you are already aware, it steps pretty far from your previous CBG work. I would encourage you to consider making your CD consistent on theme. As always thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

Comment by David Graybeard on June 21, 2012 at 11:58am
Thanks for the words of encouragement!  Here are the lyrics, for the folks that were asking:

The Turning

C Em
They say there's nothing new, under the sun
Am F
Nothing doing down here that ain't been done
But the way it is, and the way it was
Is not the way it'll be because
Things are different now, something's changed
Divine plans have been rearranged

I know a picture speaks with potent force
But we can't paint a future course
No dogs are barking in the night
And we all know that things aren't right
But we can't hear a trumpet sound
And we can't tell where this ship is bound

Will it be a field of sorrow, a field of dreams
Or a field of opportunity?
Is it our time of life, or the time of man
Is it time to act or time to plan?
Can you hear a voice? Can you touch the stone?
Can you say the words to bring it home?

C G F
O, say, can you see
O, say, can you see

Well I'm older now, I don't know how
I can feel the change comin' down
You and me, we've seen it all
But we don't know if its a turn or fall
Will we bear witness? Will we be gone?
Will we learn some truth, or pass some on?
