RIO All music and lyrics ©2013 Terry Taffinder Grosvenor R&T Grosvenor Publishing Just one night with you in Rio Standing by the sea-o Changed my life forever We listened to the rhythm of the samba While the ocean pounded the shore The sunset made the water glow It sparkled like a million jewels on fire The soft light reflected on you face When you looked at me I saw love light up your eyes So hold this moment - lock it time Take me in you arms - press your body to mine Hold this moment - look in my eyes I want to feel this way Every day of my life You take me by the hand and we dance We dance upon the sand You lead me - show me what to do And I will follow you You take me by the hand We walk upon the sand You lead me - show me what to do And I will follow you Was it the magic of Brazil That let our souls touch in the night Or was it the dream of one another The perfect stranger, love at first sight I can't forget the circumstance (I can't forget the circumstance) The way we met so far from home (The way we met so far from home) It didn't take us long to find romance It was waiting for the chance When we began to dance So hold this moment - lock it inside Take me in you arms and press your body to mine Hold this moment - look in my eyes I want to feel this way Every day of my life You take me by the hand and we dance We dance upon the sand You lead me - show me what to do And I will follow you You take me by the hand We walk upon the sand You lead me - show me what to do And I will follow you You take me, you take me, you take me Take me by the hand You lead me, you lead me, you lead me Show me what to do You lead me - show me what to do (You lead me, you lead me - show me what to do) Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)

OLD 97 Music and lyrics ©2013 Terry Taffinder Grosvenor R&T Grosvenor Publishing On a cold frosty morning in the month of September When the clouds were a hanging so low, Ninety-seven pulled out of the Washington station Like an arrow that’s shot from a bow. Oh, they handed him orders at Monroe, Virginia, Saying: "Steve, you’re way behind time. This is not 38, but it's Old 97 You must get her to Spencer on time." Oh, he looked round the cab at his black greasy fireman, Saying "Shovel a little more coal, And when we get across that White Oak Mountain You can watch Old 97 roll." This is not 38, this is Old 97 Old 97’s comin’ down the line She is so old, she may never make it But she’s got to get to Spencer on time It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville And the line's on a three mile grade. It was there on that grade that he lost his air brakes And you see what a bad, bad jump he made. He was going downhill at ninety miles an hour When the whistle it broke into a scream He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle And scalded to death with the steam. Now you ladies take warning - better watch what you say Never speak harsh words to your man He may leave you this morning to travel the rails But he may never return home again This is not 38, this is Old 97 Old 97’s comin’ down the line She is so old, she may never make it But she’s got to get to Spencer on time She’s got to get to Spencer on time She’s got to get to Spencer on time

about

Dancing on the beaches of Rio, a tigress hunting her prey, sitting on a porch swing in Tennessee and riding home in the misty rain, Terry processes romantic escapades and heartaches of her youth through the genres of rock, country and samba.

These songs were written over a span of years, by a young adventurer traveling to new places, taking on challenges, wondering how her path would unfold and dealing with the mysteries of love lost and found. Her maiden name is used to distinguish this albums from later ones that were created after she married and had a family.

1. Why Aren’t I Happy: when you have everything you want and need, except the one you love.
2. Rio: a Brazilian romance set on Ipanema beach.
3. Misty Rain: traveling Rt. 95 in the rain, having flashbacks about a lost love.
4. Tennessee: the thought of moving to this State and enjoying southern pleasures.
5. Tigress: a female stalking her prey and taking what she wants.
6. I Want You, Baby: a declaration of love and desire.
7. Bad Times Gone: returning from a long train ride, anticipating getting back to her lover. Verses: word and music, Norman Hall in London; refrain: rewritten by Terry Taffinder Grosvenor.
8. Leaving as I Come In: returning for a final goodbye to say what she didn’t say before.
9. Custom Love: giving your lover much better love than anyone else can.
10.Saying Goodbye to You: how hard it is to leave someone. This song features Alan Menken of “Beauty and the Beast” and “Little Mermaid” fame on the synth and singing backup. Produced by Newporter Larry Kramen, recorded in NYC.
11. Ways of Love: being protected and cradled in the arms of love. Al Menken on piano, Larry Kramen, producer.
12. Gotta Go Home Now: the date was fun, but she won’t spend the night. Recorded with studio musicians in
13. It’s Over Now, There’s Nothing More to Say: about someone who’s walked out of your life. Verses: words & music, Stuart MacKenzie; refrain: words & music, co-written with Stuart MacKenzie in London.
14. Old 97: country-style song about a famous train tragedy in 1903 that killed many outside Danville, VA. Original music and reinterpretation of an old poem.
15. I’m So Lucky to Have Someone Like You: appreciating the one you’re with! Backup singer is Olivia Maxwell. The band is “Kid El Deen”.
16. Disco Tigress: totally different music but the same lyrics and theme as #5, “Tigress”.
17. Valentine Song: a beautiful song with original music; the lyrics derive from a poem by Laura Richards.
18. From Now On: about a couple that plans to stay together. Duet with Scott Dogget and his band, “Kid El Deen”.
