TEJAS
Capo @ 2 in C

There's no way out of here
that I can see.
There's no need to fight in here.
Nobody wins.
Why do you want it so bad?
Went through seven revisions; the last two were both complete overhauls. This grew out of a theory assignment from fall 07 and was finished in August 09, making it the piece I worked on most from the album.
A blasphemously reverent prayer to the Goddess of Sacred Uproar. Lyrics are here:

The song is the musical rendition of a piece from my book, "PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring…
I've been inspired all week by Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint. This piece of 6 parts done by me on baritone ukulele is my response to it, very loosely based and the core repetitive rhythmic part based on the 3rd movement, Fast. Additional…

Push the Blood Back in
When the last bit of light that shines through is dead and we are all matching shadows with the same blank reflection, distracted and withered and bound to the ceiling, can you not even then, feel it move on your skin…
nice - really nice change at minute five or a little after .. such -- changes--- it works well.--

I BUY GUITARS

One man might buy cigarettes and waste it all in smoke
Another marijuana and share a friendly toke

Another, with more money, might invest in antique cars

I buy guitars
A man might buy a baseball card
Keep it…
I love that...reading and listening to it..!
Love the sounds...i can feel the amercan poet in the music...and the vocal sound is really full...
That song just makes me want to buy an old guitar....i keep lookin in the second hand stores around here...but theres no guitars...i dream that someday i’ll walk into anthony o hallorans second hand / antique shop, and there’ll be some old gem of a six string , archtop maybe, or a rusty old tele...full of mojo...waiting there for me to find...! I check every time im passing his place....i think i’ll never stop waiting....
But yes...thats a great track....you should send that out to dream guitars shop...in ashville....paul huemiller owns it....or some such shop....i bet one of those places would love that song for a website....im doin my website at the mo....id love to put that track on my instruments page...!
Then people could send pics of the old guitars they bought and i could post those pics too...wouldnt that be a bit of craic....fun...we all buy guitars....a choir of guitar pickers could sing it....we buy guitars..✌️
Also...i never saw the link between telescopes amd guitars before....but i do now...its a cold night here...and a clear sky full of stars....Matt
Flying cars, robot maids
The promises science fiction made

I long for tomorrows we never knew
