In dnj's thread about "Is disco dead," DonM said: In the past week I've done, as requested, "Shake Your Booty", "Long Train Running", "Play That Funky Music White Boy", "Y.M.C.A.", "Sharing the Night Together", "Harlem Shuffle", even the Stone's closest thing to Disco, "Miss You" do, do, doodoo, do, do, dooo. They aren't all exactly Disco, but close enough. At least no one is requesting Macarana anymore!I got to thinking about a song I wrote, "Troubadour Highway." I have a demo somewhere that I recorded on psr2000 but I can't find it. Here is another one. Troubadour Highway, 3:13, 3.8mb MP3 Perhaps you can identify with the sentiment. ------------------ Bill Yamaha PSR2000 [This message has been edited by SemiLiveMusic (edited 02-15-2006).]

Originally posted by Dnj: Bill.....If Im being honest,
I really enjoyed this tune. Its got a nice Johnny Cashesque flow to it, great lyrics you can relate too, & nice guitar work also.....might try it a key higher to give vocals a bit more power....otherwise Bravo!!!
I'm glad you like. I had fun writing it. BTW, I wrote this song BEFORE Brad Paisley came out with that song, "Alcohol." Where he has a line about "and helpin white people dance"... and I thought "HECK, I WROTE A LINE ALMOST LIKE THAT" but he beat me to it. Point is, it's the highlight of that song of his. I am always struggling to find the optimum key for me. I'll think I finally got it right but often, I am told, sing it higher. Typically, I try to sing a song as low as I can sing it without crapping out on the low notes. I don't like my voice at all in the higher registers. I don't like it THAT much in the lower registers. But it is what is is. Johnny Cash gets mentioned to me more often than any other. Which is a good thing because he's a fave of mine and I sing many songs by him. ------------------ Bill Yamaha PSR2000
