'A Crooked Road'
I walk a crooked road to get where I am going To get where I am going I must walk a crooked road And, only when I’m looking back I see the straight and narrow I see the straight and narrow when I walk a crooked road
I sing a lonesome song to anyone who’ll listen To anyone who’ll listen I will sing my lonesome song And when I hear you singing too, the sorrow sounds hopeful The sorrow sounds so hopeful when I sing my lonesome song
And a lonesome song will be my true companion When all else has abandoned for singing of their own And a lonesome song will fill my days with gladness Make joy out of sadness when I sing my lonesome song to you
I love with all my heart there is no way of stopping I have no way of stopping I just love with all my heart Through the broken and the beautiful the bad news and the good news The bad news and the good news is I love with all my heart
And a loving heart will be my true companion When all else has abandoned for loving of their own And a loving heart will fill my days with gladness Make joy out of sadness when I bring this loving heart to you
I long to be a happy man in this life that I am given In this life that I am given I long to be a happy man And when the noise turns to stillness I see I have the makings I see I have the makings to be one happy man
And a happy man will be my true companion When all else has abandoned for happy of their own And a happy man will fill my days with gladness Make joy out of sadness when I show this happy man
And a happy man will be my true companion When all else has abandoned for happy of their own And a happy man will fill my days with gladness Make joy out of sadness when I show this happy man to you
I walk a crooked road to get where I am going To get where I am going I must walk a crooked road And, only when I’m looking back I see the straight and narrow I see the straight and narrow when I walk a crooked road
Charlie Zahm: "Medley: Rebel Soldier / Dixie Land" Música celta y americana antigua. Barítono.
Guitarras: Charlie's favorite guitars are his Martin D-45, his Larrivée J-10, his Taylor 955 jumbo 12-string and his Taylor W-15. He uses nearly all in concerts, all are "road guitars." Charlie also uses his Taylor 955 12-string whenever he needs the gorgeous rich tone, and it's more playable than any other 12-string Charlie has tried.

LORENA
Writers Rev. Henry DeLafayette Webster & Joseph Philbrick Webster (no relation to each other) written in 1857
Key F
(F) THE YEARS CREEP SLOWLY (F7) BY, LO - (Bb) RE - NA,
THE (C7) SNOW IS ON THE GRASS A - (F) GAIN;
THE SUN'S LOW DOWN THE (F7) SKY, LO - (Bb) RE - NA,
THE (C7) FROST GLEAMS WHERE THE FLOWERS HAVE (F) BEEN.
BUT MY (Dm) HEART BEATS ON AS WARMLY (Am) NOW,
AS (A7) WHEN THE SUMMER DAYS WERE (Dm) NIGH; (C7)
THE (F) SUN CAN NEVER (F7) DIP SO (Bb) LOW,
OR (C7) DOWN AFFECTIONS CLOUDLESS (F) SKY.
A HUNDRED MONTHS HAVE PASSED, LORENA, SINCE LAST I HELD THAT HAND IN MINE, AND FELT THE PULSE BEAT FAST, LORENA, THOUGH MINE BEAT FASTER FAR THAN THINE. A HUNDRED MONTHS, 'TWAS FLOWERY MAY, WHEN UP THE HILLY SLOPE WE CLIMBED, TO WATCH THE DYING OF THE DAY, AND HEAR THE DISTANT CHURCH BELLS CHIME.
WE LOVED EACH OTHER THEN, LORENA, MORE THAN WE EVER DARED TO TELL; AND WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN, LORENA, HAD BUT OUR LOVINGS PROSPERED WELL. BUT THEN, 'TIS PAST, THE YEARS ARE GONE, I'LL NOT CALL UP THEIR SHADOWY FORMS; I'LL SAY TO THEM, "LOST YEARS, SLEEP ON! SLEEP ON! NOR HEED LIFE'S PELTING STORMS."
THE STORY OF THAT PAST, LORENA, ALAS! I CARE NOT TO REPEAT, THE HOPES THAT COULD NOT LAST, LORENA, THEY LIVED, BUT ONLY LIVED TO CHEAT. I WOULD NOT CAUSE E'EN ONE REGRET TO RANKLE IN YOUR BOSOM NOW; FOR "IF WE TRY, WE MAY FORGET," WERE WORDS OF THINE LONG YEARS AGO.
YES, THESE WERE WORDS OF THINE, LORENA, THEY BURN WITHIN MY MEMORY YET; THEY TOUCHED SOME TENDER CHORDS, LORENA, WHICH THRILL AND TREMBLE WITH REGRET. 'TWAS NOT THY WOMAN'S HEART THAT SPOKE; THY HEART WAS ALWAYS TRUE TO ME: A DUTY, STERN AND PRESSING, BROKE THE TIE WHICH LINKED MY SOUL WITH THEE.
IT MATTERS LITTLE NOW, LORENA, THE PAST IS IN THE ETERNAL PAST; OUR HEADS WILL SOON LIE LOW, LORENA, LIFE'S TIDE IS EBBING OUT SO FAST. THERE IS A FUTURE! O, THANK GOD! OF LIFE THIS IS SO SMALL A PART! 'TIS DUST TO DUST BENEATH THE SOD; BUT THERE, UP THERE, 'TIS HEART TO HEART.
Words by Rev. Henry DeLafayette Webster, music by Joseph Philbrick Webster (no relation to each other). Written in 1857 This is a pre civil war song which achieved wide popularity during the conflict. For some reason, the song became a particular favorite of the Confederancy and, in time, came to be identified with the Southern cause. Hundreds of Southern girls were named for the song's heroine, while several pioneer settlements and even a steamship proudly bore the name. One Confederate veteran claimed to have "heard it more during the war than any other song."
J.P. Webster, creator of the melody, was a collaborator of S. Fillmore Bennett, with whom he wrote several Civil War songs, including "The Irish Volunteer" and "The Negro Emancipation Song." Their best-known work, however, was one of the most popular hymns of all time, "Sweet By and By," 1868.
J.P. Webster also wrote, "I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets" 1860, which became, "Wildwood Flower."
The Rebel Soldier (Southern Appalachian folk song) by Anonymous
Oh, Polly! Oh, Polly! It's for your sake alone, I left my dear old father, my country and my home, I left my dear old mother to weep and to mourn - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
It's grape-shot and muskets and the cannon lumber loud, There's many a mangled body, with dew for it's shroud, There's many a mangled body left on the field's alone - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
You'll drink your fine brandy, and I will drink my wine, You can drink to your true love, and I will drink to mine, You can drink to your true love and I'll lament and mourn - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, If the Yankees don't kill me, I'll live until I die, If the Yankees don't kill me and cause me to mourn - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
I'll build me a castle on some green mountain high, So, I can see Polly as she comes passing by, So, I can see Polly and help her to mourn - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
Antes de los Heartbreakers. Petti en el bajo, Campbell y Leadon volando en las seis cuerdas, Tench en los teclados y Marsh en la batería. Tuvieron el disco preparado en 1974 con Shelter Records, pero se disolvieron antes de ver la luz y resucitar como Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. En el verano de 2007, como si el tiempo se hubiera parado, volvieron a juntarse y grabaron el album, que salió editado en 2008. Rock clásico, americana de altos vuelos, música tradicional recuperada, letras a lo Dylan, punteos espaciales a lo Neil Young. Un trabajo cósmico. Para no dejar de dar palmadas.
