Charlie Waller... thanks for dropping that name... Its a great song but I'm not sure who's voice I associate it with.  I was hoping for a better birthday song from you but I guess this will do since its Black Friday.

Thanks Chris, great to hear it in another's words. The mathematician in me kinda cringes when trying to decipher what looks like a fraction or ratio into a playing pattern... maybe, someone like myself should have learned music notation using different symbols than A thru F... I always wonder where the other 19 notes are to get to Z... but anyhey the sharps and flats make sense in way but not really... I'm gonna have to watch this again because I know I missed alot...

Judson commented on: Keep Me From Blowing Away Singing and Communicating Emotion Mar 25, 2016

you did a great job communicating that song, not sure who's it is, but i don't think you could write a happy song to that beat any way...

in the end, i don't think a sad song is sad because of the words... I listened to this song initially in the background without even paying attention to what was being said... I almost didn't even given it a chance because i wasn't wanting to dwell on a down song... I just don't think i could every write anything that slow... and especially put words to it... 

but anyhey, I enjoyed hearing your thoughts...

Hey Judson, thanks for sharing your thoughts. You make a good point that it would be pretty hard to write a happy song to the music of Keep Me from Blowing Away! That said, for me as a performer it's the words that really pull me into that emotional place of desperation and desolation that I want to convey to the listener and have them feel.

Paul Craft wrote this song among many others including the awesomely titled "Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through the Goalposts of Life."
