There's not a drop of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the puddles of this war.
But the blood that's spilled's become a flood
of the hungry and the poor.
There is not a trace of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the bags that hang beside
the beds of legless soldiers…

at his mother's funeral.
He had always wondered
why he looked nothing like his brothers...

TEENAGERS ARE STUPID
Teenagers are stupid
At least I was

Silly, silly things

It's a wonder we lived to be this old

How can…

One day Connie Ramsey called and let it slip
that she was writing a rocking chair song. I thot that was a good subject for a song so I wrote one too.
Rocking Chair
Well, I got one on the porch and one in the den
And just enough umph for…

I have a song in the movie THE VANISHING. That movie starred Jeff Bridges and Keefer Southerland. I did all the music in a movie called RED DESERT PENITENTIARY. A film maker in Austin is finishing a short movie with about nine of my songs in it. Another Dallas film makes used me as an actor in a film recently and used a piece of mine as the theme song for that actor. It all adds up...to....something. Except for the Vanishing and Dark Blood there is no money.

Oh, that! I was nominated for Best Texas Music when my music isn't about Texas at all. It's all silly. It's all about the young musicians in town. They have a big blow out at the awards shin dig and everybody has fun but nobody takes it seriously about who is really the best in town.
That movie is called DARK BLOOD, finally to be finished by the director, George Sluizer. The movie was started in 1993 and production ceased when River Phoenix died of an overdose. Now it is being finished with narration filling in the unshot scenes. I suspect it will get a lot of attention because if it being River's last film and the circumstances.

I don't have too many old songs left to upload, so I'm digging into "B" side territory. This is an old song I wrote while at uni, lyrics are pretty naive, but so was i back then.
IMO John sounds like David Essex. :)

Lyrics:
Here you come, my sweet baby
Don’t know why you drive me crazy
I’m crazy, in love with you
And it’s been a long long…
About someone (who may or may not be myself) who may have smoked a little too much of a particular herb in the past.
As I sit here alone
With my hand on the bong
And I light another match
And I pull another cone
I don’t know where I will…

Top song mate.
Excellent all round , great listen

gritty and powerful un-nerving

That's where I got my woman. They never told me she wasn't fixed :D Saved and Faved.
Dig! I adore this trippy, groovy, psychotic number. Delicious. 5 stars! Great job!
Really enjoyed this one -- love the psychedelic seasoning. A great arrangement of sounds -- sweet. You've an ingenious touch to your mix-down that's Rockin'! Rock on!
Four legs and love, makes me wish we were all free again.

Like it.
Very cool. ...and thank you for your comment. Looks like we are both in the same business when it comes to war...
LIKE THIS.
Sounds like your version of Helter Skelter...
Real cause for the blues.
Sounds like someone is having fun. Reminds me of when I was a kid and Mom taught me to put wax paper over a comb.
Cool song...

Greg, I don't know about that contest. I DID get a song in an upcoming movie recently so that is a lot like winning a contest.
You songs are like slide shows... Little movies.
...sometimes the answer is "Yes", and sometimes, "No."
"...tin cup in a water pail..." Been there. Your song is full of very clear pictures. Like it.
Nice. I can hear the Beatles singing this.
Great energy. Great story.
I like it but I want to hear your words...
Very nice..."another place and another time..."
I second what Bethan said, "Sweet."
I understand. I have the same problem with a lot of old material.
Mix your voice so we can hear your lyric or include the lyric in the "about" section. I want to understand what you are saying.
