BuildaBridge Goes Country

Thanks to George Ensle, the Song Painter, for sending us a BuildaBridge song from his new album Build A Bridge. (We like the name.) "George Ensle, (pronounced Enslee), began songwriting and performing as a teenager in the late sixties in his hometown, Houston at such venerable clubs as the Sand Mountain Coffeehouse and the original Old Quarter, sharing stages with legendary folk greats, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Jerry Jeff Walker. In 2008 he was nominated for Singer/Songwriter of the Year by the Texas Music Academy.George has a unique fingerpicking style originating from his classical guitar training and honed over the years to flow seamlessly with his lyrics. He has been called a 'songpainter,' capturing 'lifescapes', with storysong portraits of "real people making it in the real world." Check his website . Song used here by permission: George Ensle.
