Original Acoustic Blues (J100 Xtra, 1956 Oahu Lapsteel, 1960 Fender Musicmaster)

[rockabilly69]

This is the first song written with my new to me 1956 Oahu Chicaoan Lapsteel. I've really been wanting a lap steel for my acoustic guitar based songs, and, I finally found exactly what I was looking for, so, here's my first song

The acoustic guitar: Gibson J100 Xtra
The amp: 1969 Fender Vibro Champ
The electric guitar: 1960 Fender Musicmaster




Something Ain't Right - Weldon 2017

I don't know what's bringing me down
uneasy feelin' crawl up my spine
blue wind blowing thru my side of town
something is coming, something ain't right

oh I'm feeling the blues
staring down at my shoes
what's this stealing my smile
what's this pain in my heart

somebody help me, I'm down on my knees
feeling a pain, that's making me bleed

oh I'm feeling the blues
staring down at my shoes
what's this stealing my smile
what's this hole in my heart

uneasy feelin' crawl up my spine
something is coming, something ain't right

aaahh you've done it again Daniel. That's freaking very cool. You should be famous writing tunes like this. I dig it, I dig it a lot.

Well my favorite three bands... Stones, Faces, Black Crowes, so I like your request, but right now I am in an original music phase as I need some new songs for some upcoming original music showcases.

Original Showcase sounds interesting. Is that a radio thing or a competition? I think your songwriting style would appeal to a lot of people at first listen. It did to me and that doesn't happen often.

two shows coming up where I will be playing 100% original music, one is an opening act for Maggie Koerner...

most of my other gigs are mostly cover material.

Great to see you playing gigs like this. I would most definitely come to a show if I was in the area, or the country, or even the hemisphere.
