A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
What could have happened if Merle played with Mingus? Or Johnny with Miles or Ray with Coltrane? Or Eric Dolphy with Jerry Garcia? Keeping their Betes in check with Richard Davis on the bass
I like to day dream on that music and try to hear what I can see
I’m been dreaming of Monk-Like country
Country with monk
and Charlie rouse on the sax and Larry gales on the bass
Some kind of country from the spirit world country
“Now that’s what I call Monk-like country volume 72
I am clapping my hands, hear me roar. You have always from the moment you came into my life, inspired me Rob. Your irrelevant, irreverent, ejaculation of the English language always got my attention and made me think and wonder where the hell did that came from. It was magic. Your generous loving, caring, spirit wafted off the pages like a big hug. The mismatching and unexpected revelations that the logical, trained orthodox mind would never allow or approve of was always appreciated and defined the aliveness in you. It never gets old. And I am using always a lot because I am old and you have always been in my life. You are a gift I give myself at least once a week and twice on Tuesday. Love you Rob. Thank you for being.
Like a bolt of light
In the dead of night
Without a band in site
Much music
When I’m alone
Where ever I may roam
So very far from home
Much Music
When the Kafka day
Becomes a Mamet Play
In every single way
Much Music
How reality melts
alphabits have spell’t
Every thing your ever felt
Much Music
And in the night so long
Evade a messing throng
Aided by a song
Much Music
