Do ya ever wonder what someone saw in you in the first place?...'cause somehow their stamp of approval morphs into a blanketing disapproval.

homegrown music...all natural, no fillers, no artificial colors.
....so nice of y'all to drop by! I'm a little southern lady who grew up during the glorious sunshiny 70's in a small beach town in N. Florida. An awesome time to begin to figure life out...catching the tail-end of the "age of aquarius" and gettin' to enjoy the freedoms that bunch won for us before the angst of the 80's and 90's set in. Try bein' a teenager today!!! Ha! I learned to play guitar by picking one up and flippin' open a CSN&Y songbook to "Helpless". Well, nobody told me I was playin' the thing up-side-down! I'm a lefty, ya know...held it like it felt right to me. Still play that way to this day. Took up the banjo and the ukulele and turned them up-side-down too. I wrote my first song at the age of 45 and now I've got a whole batch of 'em. I don't ever set out to write any particular song...just get a phrase that sticks and pretty soon the rest of it comes. Really, I don't write them at all...God just down-loads 'em into my brain and I jot them down and then sing and play them. To Him be the honor and the glory! So there you have it...or at least this part of it. I'd talk yer ears nearly clean offa yer hear if you'd indulge me. Thanks again for stoppin' by...next time I'll make a cake and brew some coffee. yerz, Ellen https://ellenmoseley.bandcamp.com

I got "shushed" by my husband in a Dillard's Department Store....this song was inspired by that inglorious incident
Lyrics
3 Speed Trani I. When did I get to be so annoying have I always been this way lately it seems like I get it wrong with a lot of the things that I do or say I didna€™t mean to embarrass you didna€™t mean to blow your scene ita€™s just the way I am and Ia€™ll be damned if I can figure out any other way to be CHORUS: love me or leave me dona€™t ask me to change too much baby, Ia€™m not an automatic Ia€™m a three-speed trani with a worn out clutch love me or leave me trade me in, dona€™t fix me up a€˜cause baby, Ia€™m not an automatic Ia€™m a three-speed trani with a worn out clutch II. Sometimes Ia€™m so comfortable livina€™ in my skin then you go and poke a hole and the whole damn world comes crashing in Ia€™m not what you call high maintenance just need some TLC and if you can deal with some quirkiness youa€™ll get a lot of mileage out of me CHORUS III. Well, you seem to like the chassis and the paint job caught your eye but something a€˜bout what makes me tick well, that dona€™t seem to fly baby, you need to figure out if love can be true if you can love me just the way I am maybe I can do the same for you CHORUS
