A new song: ‘Song of Awen’, copyright Ray Homewood 2022, all rights reserved 1. Today I walk across the field And wonder fills my heart And in my garden now I kneel And hear the voice of Awen 2. I hear the birdsong everywhere The female calls the male And Awen whispers in my ear Let nature tell her tale Ch. And there is magic in the air And in the earth beyond our Ken The story of the trees so ...

The year that I last saw you
Просмотров 213 года назад
A poem for my dad, who dies suddenly in 1987 The year that I last saw you Over thirty years ago The day that I last saw you You wore your work suit proudly- It always looked like new We talked of work and boxing Of nothing really great And then we turned and parted And went our separate ways But later in the evening Just barely three hours on The day that I last saw you The day I got the call S...

Awesome song and great performance - compliment, like and greeting from Darbass BassCovers!

Hi Ray, hope you are well. I'm glad I saw this video pop up today, brilliant lyrics. I've known a few people in my lifetime that had dementia, very hard to see those loved ones affected. I think your playing your Martin concert body size acoustic guitar.. either 000 or an OM. That is a really nice guitar... I think probably more towards the seasonal holidays, I'm picking up a concert body style guitar... probably a Yamaha. I like finger picking that concert style of guitar more than my current acoustic guitar that is a dreadnought body shape/style. Have a great day/night. - Tom
Hi Tom, many thanks! Hope you are well. You will love a concert size guitar - I would not go back to a dread now! Best wishes, Ray
Nice new video! Good job🎉 Like pickguard on Your baby
Thanks Arthur - it is an OM style pickguard 😁
Really like the sound of that little Martin. Just ordered it and waiting for the delivery. Thanks for the videos
Thanks, Arthur - enjoy her! 😁✌️🎶
@@rayhomewood8831 It is funny You are replying now. She just came, but I wonder if You too in Yours got jagged/ugly truss rode hole. Even in my cheap guitar for about 100$ that hole is well polished And the action is very high but the rest - beautiful instrument 😍
@@rayhomewood8831 I asked Martin but it probably will take them like a week to answer. I also found some glue sticking out from under the bridge. Have You experienced same little imperfections? I just wonder if something is wrong with mine and should return it or it is a standard
Bravo! Your performance is such a pleasure to listen to! All the best, Elly 👏🎸🎶🎶
Congrats Ray on completing the song.. Brilliant.
Thanks Tom 😆
You know Ray, I'm subscribed to your channel and sometimes on the main RUclips page, your videos pop up. I'm not on here all the time, sometimes I'm busy with work and other things. But today this video of your poem to your father popped up.. And it was very impactful to me as I suddenly loss my Father a few days back, and I like to tell you that I REALLY appreciate you sharing your poem as I SO EVERY MUCH can relate... I'm very much in the grieving process. - Tom
Tom, I am so sad to hear your news. I am touched you took the time to comment on my poem. My dad passed on 1987 at the age of 55. Take care of yourself.
@@rayhomewood8831 I'm sorry for your loss as well. My Dad was 78. I'm just taking things one day at a time and I think that is the best I can do for myself right now. Thanks again for posting your poem.
❤
I loved that. You should make more videos of that cool little banjo.
Many thanks! 😀
Great performance, Ray!
Very nice, Ray, I couldn't understand a word, though. Do you speak Catalan?
Thanks David. No, I don’t speak Catalan, but I may try to learn! Here is a very rough translation into English which I found online: What shall we give to the Son of Mary*? What shall we give that He will find fine? We shall give well weighed raisins, We shall give a basket of figs. What shall we give to the laddie of Mary? What shall we give to the beautiful Child Raisins and figs and nuts and olives Raisins and figs and honey and curd. Tam-tam-tam-pa, the figs are not ripe, Tam-tam-tam-pa, they'll surely ripen. If they're not ripe on Easter, They'll mature on Palm Sunday.
@@rayhomewood8831 Nice lyrics, thanks for that!
Nice playing and singing!
Thanks David 😀
Beautiful performance! Nice singing my friend Ray. Greetings from Poland. Isa
