Blue Bird Cafe
A true story... except that
I love lamb... yummy...
The
End Of Days
Sort of a weird farewell song...
Three
Cats & Three Dogs
I wrote this one about
pets we have and have had...
around the house.
Million
Year Old Birthday Blues
I wrote this to commemorate the
50th Birthday of my wife's sister, Pam. Getting older bothers
us all... but I think it bothers Pam more... or maybe just
blatantly hammering the point home is her problem.
When
The Heavens Open Up
This is a "done-me-wrong"
blues tune that describes feelings AFTER the wrong doing perpetrator
is going... going... done gone.
The Big
C
What song could be more depressing
then not giving a damn when a love one dies? How about giving
a damn when a love one dies? And who hasn't been touched by cancer...
"The Big C"? Anyway... blues song writers have been writing about
all sorts of stuff that makes you sick and die since they learned
how to put pen to paper.
Don't
Sleep Too Long
I flushed out and changed up a
song written by Huddie Ledbetter. Adding to the idea of waking
up to trouble if you allow yourself to "sleep to long".
My Golden Age
A song about growning up, looking
back and wondering about life. The point being... if you live
long enough you can probably find something golden to remember.
Even tarished bits can shine up a little when the memory starts
to fade...
Lawn Mower Man Blues
A song about a man mowing a woman's
lawn... or is it a song about attending to some other landscaping
chore?
Picture Of A Kid Wearing A Red Cowboy
Hat
This is a story about the struggle
to preserve history while considering that, ultimately, everything
turns to dust.
Latonia's Long Blue Stare
This is a tale about being drawn
to and repelled by hard as nails young women who grew up
in an working class neighborhood I drove through on the
way to work. As if they would every have anything to do
with me anyway...
Search For
A Shadow
This is a song about searching for
love... not finding it... being rather depressed, pessimistic
and lost... but knowing somehow you have choices and there
is always hope.
If Wednesdays
Never Change
This is a story about eating lunch
and the end of Western Civilization.
Life In
My Mind
This is a song about searching
for love in your dreams.
Motorsickle
Man Blues
A fantasy about owning a motorcycle...
Too Much
Bacon For My Pants
This is what happens when you get
too old to go to listen to loud music... |
