Thread Name: My own songs - Sir Coughsalot
Subject: My own songs
I hope nobody has a problem with this. I just thought I would post some of my own folky songs and see if any of the great singers and performers here could offer any advice on playing/songwriting, tips, or constructive criticism. All is welcome. I am trying hard to get better. I am kinda uncomfortable posting these here, but a friend of mine suggested it if I wanted advice, since this is the only other place you'll find a lot of other folksingers.

Upper Big Branch Disaster
This is a song I wrote about the mine disaster here in West Virginia. I think the rest pretty much speaks for itself. I used Aunt Molly Jackson's Poor Miner's Farewell as a starting point.

Black and White Western
This is a song I made from the stories about every Western you'll ever see. It has an original melody, I think.

Talking Facebook Blues
My attempt to write something fast and funny that everyone (at least from my generation) could relate to.

Thanks in advance, everyone!
