While we were in NYC for our show this week, I had the distinct pleasure of getting together with Josh Turner to make some music in his Brooklyn space. I have admired Josh’s musicianship (and his taste in music) for a very long time, so it was really cool to be able to play with him, and in person no less!
“Morse Code” is one of my songs off our album The Cooling, and I hope you enjoy this arrangement of it!
We also did another song on Josh’s channel with Carson McKee and Toni Lindgren joining us, so head over there to check it out: • Dooley - Feat Reina an...

Lyrics to "Morse Code":
You had the postal service
you had the telephone wire
there were passenger pigeons
to take your words up higher
There were walkie talkies
fiber optic repeat
there were infinite channels
between you and me
It don't matter, pretty baby
it was a note upon your door
it don't matter how you said it
you don't love me no more
you don't love me no more
you don't love me no more
Now I could hijack the airwaves
to say I want you back
I could put us in a novel
and rewrite the past
I could string up the words
behind a long aeroplane
and wait for your answer
to come back again
It don't matter, pretty baby
if I find the words I'm looking for
it don't matter how I say it
you don't love me no more
I could hire a man
to swim across the sea
and plant a little kiss
on your cheek for me
I could write you a letter
and cross all my tees
and put it in the belly
of a great submarine
But it don't matter, pretty baby
if my words never reach the shore
it don't matter if I say it
you don't love me no more
I could put a lonely billboard
on every city road
or have the stars blotted out
in a brilliant Morse code
Wouldn't make no difference, pretty baby
you don't love me no more
it don't matter, pretty baby
you don't love me no more
you don't love me no more
you don't love me no more

Bar none, that is the most precise, exact, original and beautiful guitar solo I have ever heard. And I have heard plenty. It deserves to be broadcast, with a capital B, around the world. Young Josh is possessed of an astonishing talent. And that's astonishing with a capital A. Some real magic taking place here. Overwhelmingly intelligent, overwhelmingly musical, overwhelmingly a wonder.

What a heck of a song, a cool Appalachian creek in the springtime, a lying in a grassy meadow watching the clouds and contemplating the sad end of a meaningful relationship.

Class of '69. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have discovered you two. I love listening to the old favorites, but your original songs are so true to that musical tradition. Beautiful voices used to sing a song, not show off vocal virtuosity. Guitars providing a beautiful accompaniment,not screaming out discord. Perhaps there is hope...
