I left all my dreams and hopes buried under tobacco leaves
Consider which would be better:
1. Tooth Fairy Racketeering
Put a tooth underneath a kid's pillow at night. Leave note on the door to his room, informing his parents that he has a missing tooth. They see the note and put money under the pillow. Then you sneak back into the room and steal the money, and the kid is none the wiser. (Southpark)
2. Scrabble Hustling
Pretty self explanatory. Bet a dollar for each point the winner scores over the loser.
In other news, I think I'm going to take advantage of Christmas break to record a whole album. Probably not going to do much more than guitar and voice. Maybe invite a violinist I know to play on a few tracks. Maybe do some piano and harmonica. If any of you have any opinions regarding the songs you think I should put on it, let me know. I might listen to your opinions. I'm not sure how much I believe in some of them. I have about sixteen songs. I'm going to try to cut half of them out. I'm not going to worry about a theme at this point. The songs I've written are as follows. Many will be left and forgotten.
(the ones toward the top are the ones I think are okay, the others are not so cool.)
Currently listening to:
"Floater (Too Much To Ask)"

If you have the opportunity and DON'T record Falling/Ascending I WILL be forced to take action. Not excatly sure what that would be, but that's definitely my fave of yours. I'll need to hear some of your other new stuff, too.
Yeah, Falling/Ascending is not a bad song. At this point, I'm sort of over it ya know. Same with Across The Border and Far Too Much. And Buddy Lists. The thing to consider is, how much better are those songs going to sound if I record them again? Is it worth it? They've already been recorded, and put out to people. So I'd just as soon hit the new ones.
Anyway, my writing these days has changed somewhat. What I do now somehow either comes back to Bob Dylan. But I'm also shooting for a Gillian Welch meets Dave Van Ronk sound.
And don't worry Amber, Lunita will be on there.

I love Across the Border (as you well know), but since you've already recorded it I can see why you want to do something else. Also, if the songs have gotten tedious or boring, just don't play them for awhile. They're good songs, but that doesn't mean you're obligated to play them all the time. Some time you will enjoy coming back to them.
