A New Guy You Should Hear

I use to exchange music with a fella in Canada named Mike "O". Mike's stuff was usually more interesting than mine (I guess that's the reason we stopped). Anyway his stuff was more obscure and down right interesting. One CD he sent was Geoff Bartley. His CD "One Kind Word" is exceptional singer/songwriter material. Here is a sample of his lyrics and an amusing photo from his website.

One Kind Word

I know a man, never says a word

But he strums his old Gibson,

sings like a bird

The dreams in his head,

they’re almost gone

The times keep changin’

as the years wear on

And it don’t take much

to wag my tail

Give me hard-boiled eggs,

a little beer in a pail

You’ve got to work pretty hard

to drive me away

But one kind word

and I will stay

So I ride in my car,

travel all around

Get up on the stage,

here in your town

I used to chase all the women

and I guess I still do

But love is best

when it’s tender and true
