It’s Talkin’ Headline Tuesday again. Here’s all the headlines compiled into one song. Remember, they’re all from CNN.com, so you never need to actually go there and read anything. You just listen to this song each week and you’re totally informed.
New Song: When the day comes down
Here’s a new song I wrote yesterday afternoon. It’s a simple easy little tune. Moves right along in a rumbling sort of way.
Ain’t much to say about it. Let me know what you think, though.

Rewritten Song: All There is for Me (version 2)
Okay, here’s the new version of the song from this week last year. I cut out a lot of the excess that was getting in the way. I think that’s what was always wrong with this song to me. Too many words. So I chopped em right out. What’s left is a beginning to something else.
The original version (which you can listen to here) was really about 5 or 6 different songs anyway. Kinda a collection of starts and finishes to a bunch of different tunes. That’s probably why I couldn’t ever make it into one whole song.
So this is how it ended up. If anyone wants to take it and finish it off, go for it. I don’t think I’ve got any more to put into this one. The music and melody just kinda turned into what all my other songs are starting to sound like anyway.
And don’t forget to come out to Cafe Mustache tonight for the show I’m playing. Al Scorch‘ll be there shoutin’ and hollerin’. Music starts at 7:30pm and goes until 10:30pm. It’s absolutely free.
No better way to get warm on a cold cold night than a hot cup of coffee.
See ya there.

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #13
The next installment of the Talkin’ Headline Blues. As always, all the lines are taken from good old CNN.com. Boy, do they have some great writers over there, huh?
And remember, I’ll be playing out this Friday (2/4) at Cafe Mustache. It’s gonna be a fantastic show because Al Scorch‘ll be there shoutin’ and hollerin’.
I’m gonna break this version of Talkin’ Headline out. It’ll be the first time I play any of the versions at a live show. Most likely I’ll bring the words and sing off a piece of paper. That’ll be a first. Exciting times.
The show starts at 7:30pm. Goes till 10:30 or so. See ya there.

New Song: Rise Up and Heal
Here’s a new song based on a Gospel tune called “Ride On King Jesus.” You can check out a version of that song by watching this video.
Now, I’m not saying I sing it anything like that, but it’s along the same lines. Comes from the same place. Goes to the same ends. I had to add a few more differing verses, though, cause I don’t have 20 people behind and around and above me all shoutin out loud. It came together pretty well, though. I’ll be playing this one out for sure.
In fact, I’ll be playing out this Friday (2/4) at Cafe Mustache. Got a show with Al Scorch and his big old banjo. It’ll be a great night. Starts at 7:30pm. Goes till 10:30 or so.
See ya there.
