Karl, Looking Forward To Listening To More But Really Enjoyed "It Ain't A Hit Til Shirley Cries" ... Great Work And A Classic Sound ... Best Wishes For Wherever Life And The Music May Lead You ... J Nelson K
Hi J, Thanks for the note - and the rating. I was out of commission for about 8 years - constant fatigue & inability to focus. This summer I went for TMS - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - and now I'm getting back in the swing. Only thing is I'm 67 now & I lost all those years - so I'm way behind. Right now I'm working to finish up two books and after that I've got another book I was writing (about 3/4 of the way through...) when all this started that I have to get back to. Anyway - Thanks again & I wish you luck with your work. Karl
Karl, Sounds Like You Are Feeling Better My New Friend. One Day At A Time Going Forward And Don't Worry About "Lost Time" ... Press On Man! Just Listened To "Bigger Than Both Of Us" ... Another 5 Star Gem ... Thanks For Your Good Wishes As Well ... J Nelson K
Hello Hank, Just a note to say Thanks for giving my song MILE MARKER TEN five stars. I'm not doing so well these days health-wise, so I'm not up to listening to your material - but I wish you well. Take care, Karl Williams
I saw that it was selected for opp: Small Town Country Bar Dance Scene. It's a great song, I hope it works out for you. Hank
Just got an email that you've added my song "Mile Marker Ten" to your Top Songs. Thanks! Hope all is going well for you. Karl Williams
re: your message about my song "Into The Fire - instrumental," selected for a Beverage Ad. Hi Samina, Sorry for the delay. Thanks for writing. Hope you have some luck with the song.

Hey Adam, Got an email saying that you gave my song, "The The Love Of Bill And Mary," a 5-star rating. Thank you very much! I listened to a few of your tracks - very nice material. I wish I could follow up somehow, but I've been out of commission for quite some time now: tired all the time & unable to focus & can't figure out what's going on. I haven't written anything in years - or even picked up the guitar. I walk two miles in the morning & am able to get in about 2 hours of pitching stuff I wrote years ago - and then I'm done for the day, pretty much: no energy, no initiative, no nothing. Anyway, this is doubly aggravating because I'm going to be in Vermont for a week in June - my wife's attending a 4-hand piano workshop - and I'd love to be able to say: Can we get together. But I just can't. So - I wish you well. And Thanks again, Karl ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Williams CANNY LARK MUSIC GREENE STREET RECORDS 15 Slocum Ave. Tunkhannock, PA 18657 570-836-0408 717-216-5988 cannylark@aol.com cannylark@gmail.com www.karlwilliams.com
Hope you rebound and figure out what's wrong so you can start writing again.
I gotta come back and hear more tomorrow but in the meantime I just finished listening to Paradise song. I love the style of this tune. Great Great writing and i love the presentation!
Hey Jeff - Great to hear from you! - especially about that song, if you know what I mean (lots of words and ideas, which is not so much in vogue at present...). I'm finally coming out of a several-year-long illness (I hope) (not life-threatening) & having a pretty good day today - which is why I'm able to get back to you. (Tomorrow I may be under the weather again - who knows.) I listened to a few of your songs. Loved "DODECAHEDRON." Also "...and in her hand was a frying pan and you know that she doesn't cook...' from "SHOULD HAVE RUN AWAY AKA: THE FRYING PAN SONG" was neat. And "...But with all those other cows it's just a job and nothing more..." from "My Bovine Valentine" made me smile too. Take care, Karl
I've been doing the same today with your tunes. Euthenasia is a beautifully crafted song but for me the subject is just too dark. I couldn't listen through thinking of my handicapped son and what those doctors would have done... The spelling song is too cute and THat Evening Touch is divine. I see some similarities between what we do especially on a song like "In Other Words" I just think you do it better. If you want a laugh check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nON kGK1jCvo done in that conversational style. Hope your health issues keep looking up and glad to meet you!
Hi Jeff - this is embarrassing and/or frustrating...: I'm in bad shape again today which means I'm in what my Lyme disease specialist calls a "brain fog." It's embarrassing/frustrating because this has been going on for several years now - and I just want to get back to work & I can't because my brain won't come back "online" so to speak... I'm not at all convinced that I have Lyme disease - I might be having an allergic reaction to the medication I was taking for high blood pressure. Anyway...maybe I shouldn't have responded to your comment yesterday, because here it is a new day & I can't keep up my end of things... Thanks for comments, etc. about my work. I should ask about your son, but I just can't - I'm sorry... Good to meet to you too.
My Precious One knocked me out! Beautiful timbre in the soulful vocals. This song is an example of the best of the genre, the best of the old and new. Gorgeous sincerity and simplicity!
Hi Hattie - Thanks very much! I'm sorry to say that I'm recovering from a long (but not life-threatening) illness. Will listen to some of your work when I can. Good Luck. Karl
Hi Karl. Well, I hope you get back to 100% soon. Don't worry about listening to my music, just tell me where I can buy My Precious One. I want to be able to listen to it outside of Broadjam. Best, Hattie
Hi Hattie - I'd be happy to send you a CD of the song, if you'll give me an address. I've also used file transfer sites once or twice - to get things to music libraries. Would that work for you? Karl
I can receive the file via Drop Box or You Send It. If it's easier, you can mail to me at P.O. Box 8065, Manchester CT 06040. I'm excited! I know my son will want it on his iPod. Thanks. Hattie
Hattie - I've uploaded My Precious One.wav to Dropbox. Will you be able to get it - or do I have to link to you some way? Also - the song was recorded by Jack Harris in Nashville; that's Jack on guitar; and Margaret Bailey singing.
Hi Karl I think you need to make a shared folder with our names, put the audio file in the folder, and then send me an email invite. Use hattiewilcox@gmail.com. Thanks for letting me know the musicians. Open dropbox home and you will see the instructions. Looking forward to it! Hattie
The lyrics to Bill and Mary are great ... love the chorus!! a song with heart!
Thanks very much for writing, Janet. We just signed this song - thru Broadjam - with Rex Benson, who published Kenny Rogers' "Buy Me A Rose." Hope you're well, Karl
That is exciting Karl! I believe your song is a winner too! God's Best to You!!! :) ... I had submitted "I'll Hold Your Heart" to the same listing ... check it out ... it is a duet I wrote for my son's upcoming wedding.
Sorry - but I couldn't find "I'll Hold Your Heart" to listen to. Thanks for the encouraging words. Take care, Karl
It is on my BJ songs page now(it didn't make the cut for the listing) Sorry ... somehow it had been put on 'private' where it couldn't be seen from my list. Try again if you have time ... it's on now. :)
Great song Karl... Be very proud of this one... Simple and so powerful...
Thanks for writing, Steven - and for your kind words. But I couldn't tell which one of my songs you were commenting on. Hope you're well, Karl
Karl, It was The Love of Bill and Mary... Like I said... Great concept... beautifully executed... hits home... way to go... When I have some time I'll go back and listen to some more of your songs... steven
OK - Thanks again! We just signed this song with Rex Benson (Kenny Rogers' "Buy Me A Rose") - but I've been pitching it for quite a while now. Good Luck with your work. Karl
Hi Karl, "The Love Of Bill And Mary" is beautiful, great work! Penny
Thanks for writing, Penny. My co-writer Bob Welsh & I just signed a publishing contract on this song with Rex Benson ("Buy Me A Rose" - Kenny Rogers). Hope all is well with you, Karl
That is fantastic news Karl!!! Congratulations to you both!It is not easy to place songs with publishers and especially well known ones with a track record such as his. I think your song is a fine example of an original concept supported by meaningful, well crafted lyrics, a lovely melody and beautiful vocal. I felt that not only did I feel a lot when listening to "The Love Of Bill And Mary" but I learned a lot too.Best of luck with it,it's very exciting! Enjoy your summer, Penny
Hi Patricia - can't tell from your message which song you're talking about, but Thanks... Tunkhannock is a little town in Northeastern PA - near Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. My wife grew up on a farm near here which her brother runs now. Hope you're well.
I love this song! I hope I win but I like being in this company. It's wonderful to stop doing other things in order to hear the next line. Hope your health improves. Gracious, where is Tunkhannock, PA? what is it near?
Hi Hattie - Great to hear that you liked that lyric. The singer is Tereva Henderson; she recorded the song - with several more of mine (as demos) - with producer/engineer/musician Jack Harris at Jack's studio in Nashville. Sorry but I'm unable right now to follow up and look into what you're up to: have been in a difficult spot health-wise for well over a year now after getting off the drugs I was taking for bi-polar condition -- I'm exhausted pretty much all the time; very difficult to get anything done. Am seeing a doctor I have faith in & have been on his regimen for about two months now, and I'm trying to stay positive. Hope you're well & Thanks again for writing, Karl ~~~~~~~~ Karl Williams 15 Slocum Ave. Tunkhannock, PA 18657 570-836-0408 cannylark@aol.com www.karlwilliams.com
Hey Karl Just heard your song "You Changed" and I am a fan! I haven't heard a song in a long time where I couldn't wait to hear the next line . . . and I have a whole song about that red dress. Great vocalist. Would enjoy knowing who's singing. Best Hattie
