Anthony,
Man can I relate to this one…
You have the rare ability to keep me on the edge of my seat and waiting for your next line, which never disappoints. Bravo, sir!

Anthony, very nice—you do a nice job of fitting admirably into that age old “troubadour” tradition—and I think you do a VERY nice job (on the guitar) of accompanying yourself—nice sensitivity instrumentally (always a mark of musical maturity and skill).

I have listened to a number of your songs, and I almost never have corrections or suggestions to add—I think you’re basically the epitome of a first-rate “coffeehouse musician” (and I mean that in the BEST way)!!!

Once again, a really first-rate job!!!

P.S. I think you’re also a first-rate songwriter (I noticed I didn’t state that in my above feedback, so please forgive the temporary oversight)!

The Man I Thought I’...

Written by Anthony Quails

There's a little less hair on the top of my head
And a little more stuck to the sink
My memory is fading, eyesight is failing
Making it easy to see 
That I'm more like, Im more like the man I thought I'd never be
 
My temper is quicker, waistline is thicker
And I'm finding it hard to believe
I buy shoes made for comfort cause when both of your feet hurt
You choose orthopedic relief
Yes Im more like, I’m more like the man I thought I'd never be
 
Im in more of a hurry and sometimes I worry
When life isn’t just as it seems
But sometime ago there was a fork in the road
And a change to the way that I think
 
I’m still scared of the silence, but when it gets quiet
I stay when I’d much rather leave
And I am more sentimental and tear upr a little
When my wife and I both can agree
That I’m more like, I’m more like the man I thought I'd never be
