As it just so happens our sax quartet made two recordings, the second is of Handel’s Sarabande. The acoustics in the room were not great though, so the sound is pretty dead.

A random bluegrass tune that I heard once. I have no idea who it’s by or what it’s called. If anyone has any idea, let me know.

Thanks for the encouragement Toni! I apologize for the poor sound quality.

Greensleeves is one of my favourites from when I was a kid and watched Lassie. It sounds so much nicer on the mandolin than on the guitar (at least mine anyways!) I really like the sound of it on the harpsichord too.

Nice work!
And what's wrong with my dressing gown???

IF YOU’RE GOIN’ THROUGH HELL ~ Rodney Atkins

Written by Dave Berg, Annie Tate and Sam Tate

http://countrymusic.about.com/od/audiovideo/a/ra_iygth.htm

WELL YOU KNOW THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE
THERE’S A SIGN THERE ON YOUR BACK
THAT SAYS I DON’T MIND IF YOU KICK ME, SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY HAS
THINGS GO FROM BAD TO WORSE
YOU THINK IT CAN’T GET WORSE THAN THAT
AND THEN THEY DO

YOU STEP OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW
AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
USED THE NEEDLE OF YOUR COMPASS, TO SEW UP YOUR BROKEN HEART
ASK DIRECTIONS FROM A GENIE IN A BOTTLE OF JIM BEAM
AND SHE LIES TO YOU
THAT’S WHEN YOU LEARN THE TRUTH

IF YOU’RE GOIN’ THROUGH HELL KEEP ON GOING
DON’T SLOW DOWN IF YOU’RE SCARED DON’T SHOW IT
YOU MIGHT GET OUT BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU’RE THERE

I’VE BEEN DEEP DOWN IN THAT DARKNESS
I’VE BEEN DOWN TO MY LAST MATCH
FELT A HUNDRED DIFFERENT DEAMONS BREATHIN’ FIRE DOWN MY BACK
AND I KNEW THAT IF I STUMBLED I’D FALL RIGHT INTO THE TRAP
THAT THEY WERE LAYIN’

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE’S ANGELS EVERYWHERE OUT ON THE STREET
HOLDIN’ OUT A HAND TO PULL YOU BACK UP ON YOUR FEET
THE ONE’S THAT YOU’VE BEEN DRAGGIN’ FOR SO LONG
YOU’RE ON YOUR KNEES MIGHT AS WELL BE PRAYIN’
GUESS WHAT I’M SAYIN’

IF YOU’RE GOIN’ THROUGH HELL KEEP ON GOING
DON’T SLOW DOWN IF YOU’RE SCARED DON’T SHOW IT
YOU MIGHT GET OUT BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU’RE THERE
WHEN YOU’RE GOIN’ THROUGH HEAVEN KEEP ON MOVIN’
FACE THAT FIRE WALK RIGHT THROUGH IT
YOU MIGHT GET OUT BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU’RE THERE

IF YOU’RE GOIN’ THROUGH HELL KEEP ON GOING
DON’T SLOW DOWN IF YOU’RE SCARED DON’T SHOW IT
YOU MIGHT GET OUT BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU’RE THERE
WHEN YOU’RE GOIN’ THROUGH HEAVEN KEEP ON MOVIN’
FACE THAT FIRE WALK RIGHT THROUGH IT
YOU MIGHT GET OUT BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU’RE THERE
YOU MIGHT GET OUT BEFORE THE DEVIL EVEN KNOWS YOU’RE THERE

Here's a song that I wrote for an "Old School N & H" Website before it crashed.

As you may remember, Bodybag used to get upset when she heard Crystal Singing, so I made up a song called "The Larkhall Prison Blues"

I've got the Larkhall Prison Blues;
And I just don't know what to do;
Because my life is controlled by some screws;
I've got the Larkhall Prison Blues;
When I entered, I was doing time;
Because I commited a very bad crime;
In this Prison you can never shine;
And you can never say;
"Hey, that's mine";
The food here I wouldn't feed a bear;
Yet the inmates, they don't care;
To look at someone funny, I don't dare;
Because I may need to be in their care;
The Wing Govenor she is cool;
And in no way is she anybody's fool;
She's got these amazing beautiful green eyes;
Whose compassion takes me by surprise;
We have a problem with a lady who lags;
Who is known to all as Bodybags;
A Lady who thinks we're all tarts;
And she doesn't even have a heart;
Her main man's first name is Jim;
And he tries to hard to be so slim;
I feel out of water like a fish;
But I only have just one wish;
To leve here and one day be free;
Because that's our reality;
So for now, I'll just pay my dues;
Cause I got the Larkhall Prison Blues;
