I thought there was a thread like this, but I went back four pages and didn't find anything so...

What songs are you currently working on?

Just did "It's me again Lord" for Church a couple weeks ago.

Working on Blake Shelton's "God's country" for whenever we are allowed back in the nursing home to sing.

seagullplayer ,

I'm working on 3 songs right now. Trying to get them "where I want them" as Garland , says.

- Battle Belongs by Phil Wickham.

- Don't Let The Old Man In by Toby Keith.

- Where I Found God by Larry Fleet.

Plus a few older hymns so I can add more variety to my Praise/Worship repertoire to accommodate all the ages as best I can at church.

I'm working on every song I know- new ones? My own composition titled , Janet (that one and only phone call)- Don't Let The Old Man In thanks to TonyKgull, but, I'm doing Willie's version- it's more simple- Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You (I have it just about where I want it)- not music, but, trying to control my NG impulses

Oh and my calluses (callouses when I learned how to spell many moons ago)- not to derail the thread. I'll start one about that since I have some questions.

Ok, I slept in, on my first coffee, so brain not started yet.....

What are "NG impulses?"

TonyKgull,I had never heard "Don't let the old man in". I like it, took a printed copy home with me last night. Now I got another one for our return to the nursing home, whenever that happens...

Looks like I need to see Clint's latest movie too.

Trying to learn thumb pickin. Been working on Freight train, Deep river blues, etc. Not working out too well..think my thumb is too old to teach it new tricks.
Its like patting your head, rubbing your stomach and walking up stairs backwards.

Seagulls live 40 + years....so should our guitars

I added 3 more to my list yesterday- Yesterday's Wine (Willie Nelson) I've Had Choices (George Jones) and another original composition, sort of a spoof on Don't Let The Old Man In I call Let The Old Man in

First two lines: I let the old man in, gave him the key to the door
got up and went outside, it's colder than before

Here's the original arrangement.

Did Larry Fleet's "Where I find God" in Service yesterday.

Used the chords for the more produced version radio version, but played more like his acoustic version seen on Youtube.

Working on Chris Stapleton's "Starting over".
