Just in time for St Patrick’s Day . . . . And with any luck we might have a bonus “LIVE” Leprechaun track coming soon. The Minnesota Coffee table met and recorded a fun version last night.


I was G wondering through the woodland on a C lovely springtime G day
When I Em spied him peaking at me from C behind the knurled D oak
So I G sprung myself and grabbed him C before he got G away
His Em arms and legs were C flailing as I D held him by the G coat

He was G just a little leprechaun a C practiced sycophant G
All Em wrinkled up and ugly and C dressed in forest D green
He G offered me three wishes if C freedom I would G grant
To Em simply let him C go and D never more be G seen

I A accepted those three wishes and D this is what I said

May my C path always be lovely and my G glass always be full
And Em Irish luck accompany me C wherever I may D go
If you G grant these 3 wishes I’ll C always call you G friend
I’ll Em spend my life C thanking you D until the bitter G end

I G think about him often that C little leprechaun G
I Em wish that I could tell him just how C happy he made D me
I G know I’ll never find him I C know that he is G gone
But Em when I go a C wondering I D look behind the G trees

We have a great bunch of singer/songwriters and their beloved here in Cowtown. You would love being here and you would be loved. Your little creative contingency feels like a more intimate group and more involved in projects together. It gives me the sense of warmth on a winter day in an old log cabin, too cold to go out so you all just make the best of it. I wonder what kind of treats you all bring. What kind of liquids you share... How far you travel to get together. We had what we call a house concert night before last at one of "our" houses. Levi Ray and his dad and husband/wife duo. We all put some money in the kitty and each played for about an hour. After, we always do a little song circle for the rest of us. Tamales, chips and salsa, ice water and wine, cheese cubes and cookies. I would guess many of us drive 15/20 miles. Starts about 7 and we get home about midnight. We also have a weekly, Wednesday evening song circle around a fire pit in the patio at a biker bar called Dirty Water. Everyone plays along. Girls and guys. Some of us go back many years.
