Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…

Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
Reminds me of the drunk brought into night court:
Judge: "Well, what brings you here this time?"
Drunk: "Two -hic- p'licemen!"
Judge: "Drunk as usual, I see."
Drunk: "Yep. Both of 'em."
I was down at the station
Catch the Greyhound to Go My Way
And I heard the loudspeaker
We’ll be leaving some time today
You just Say no thank you
When I ask you to be mine
I’ll be looking for that green light
When I ask you the next…

Wake up in the morning, I’m still in my cloths
I got one eye open but the other wont go
Barely can remember the night before
Except for how you threw me out the door
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey
I think I’m in trouble again…

This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...
I have always loved this poem by Robert Frost.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
BY ROBERT FROST
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods…
Ahoy, shipmates, it's that there time of year again, when yer ready to hang over the lee rail on account of all them insipid Christmas songs they've been blatting at you everywhere you turn ever since Halloween, if not before.
Well, I've got…
You got the spirit of Christmas right here Robert!
Merry Christmas! I hope you make bail.

COLORS - For Donna
Roses are red. Violets are blue
I could name a bunch of flowers and colors too
Roses are red. Tulips are too
But I could never name all the colors that look good on you
CHORUS
There was a time my world was black…
The pages of the book were leaking into the dream
Wading through waters of time, an unconscious stream
Eyes begin to flicker, getting heavier with sleep
Takes you by force into the deep
Cobras hood like an open sail
Eternity tries to…
I'm invited to play at Moscow's Banjofest next month. I decided to do a clawhammer banjo set, as nobody much is playing that style over here. I'm recording backing tracks so I can play the tunes with a virtual band, and this mix of this old traditional…
Well this one marked the beginning of better songs as the last few I wrote really didn't please me or anyone so they went to the heap before ever making it here!!!
I was sitting enjoying a refreshing springtime breeze and felt that pull of…
I added some additional lyrics to complete the last verse and we played this around Greg's coffee table last night.
Greg Connor, Mark Lofgren, and Mike Rudquist on guitars and vocals with me....
Hope you enjoy this version as much as the first!
Greg Connor, Scott Zosel and I wrote this one today around my coffee table. It's been awhile since we've had a chance to do that, and it felt like "going home" a bit to us...
We wrote this in support of all those who are trying to find the…
I've taken up Kens Challenge to work on this backer with him.I hope no one is offended by this too much. Its just an opinion , i've tried to describe the conflict in American politics and the world to the new President Trumps and his attitudes…
We were around the coffee table on Thursday night and dusted this one off from my 2014 archive. Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren pitching in on vocals and guitars....
I like this 2017 version....
They Don't Matter To Me

I KEEP MY RADIO ON
I keep my radio on
From sunset to dawn
Keeps the spooks at bay
Scares them all away
I keep my radio on
I guess some folks got no problems
Some folks got no regrets
Don’t know how they do it
I’m not there yet…
“You commented on my song I KEEP MY RADIO ON. You also added, “I once had someone call me selling a security system. I told them “I don’t need it.” They will only come in here once.” Did you write that song?*”

No, I never wrote the song, but always thought I would begin the song with the sound of my 12 guage shotgun as I open the action.
Em
Well, some folks got big noses
Some folks got big ass
Some folks stand out in the aisle
Make it hard to pass

Some folks got money

They say, “That’s just how it goes.”

They make it hard for folks like me
