"There Are More Important Things in Life Than Living"
dedicated to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick
There are pleasures we shall never meet again
as we drop our lovers…
Give Me a Call
Did I say something wrong
Did I let you down
Do you think of me when no ones around
Because I think of you
And I think a lot
Of everything we had and what we’ve still got
You know you could call
Or I could too
But everything…
Give Me a Call
Did I say something wrong
Did I let you down
Do you think of me when no ones around
Because I think of you
And I think a lot
Of everything we had and what we’ve still got
You know you could call
Or I could too
But everything…
A little birthday uke ditty, bookended by two improvs
So this is year 61
Made it this far
Let’s have some fun
Keep looking forward don’t look back
Time has a way of keeping track
Of joy and pain
We all live for love
Sun or rain
This…

There’s a little town out west of Sabine
Where the wind spins the turbine…
Yes I saw a chupacabra.

Hello Little One
Hello little one
Glad I ran into you
Are you some kinda freak
Or did you escape from a zoo?
Ears like a fox, look like a dog
About as much hair as you'd…

Lyrics:
Lord Jestocost
She’s a cat and she’s a girl
But she’s not equal in this world
I am lord of all I see
This…

First in a planned series of American traditional folk tunes presented as simple guitar instrumentals.
Here's the lyrics if you want to sing along:
Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh, where have you been, Charming Billy?

Chris sent me the the track this afternoon and i took to it straight away and threw it down the cellar to see what would happen and Frankie Zee quickly scribbled the lyrics and Reg sang it or should i say spoke it straight in one take because…
I can't remember her name. I saw her at Kerrville back in 2005. A little blond that always wore a leather cowboy had, played keys and wrote music for movies. (Someone remind me.)
COULD SHE KNOW
Could she know I think about her
Thinking…
This track originated with 8 layers of electric guitar playing mostly rhythmic patterns. These were then mixed down to stereo, heavily processed, and became the foundation of this track. (Yes, that weird stuff you hear at the beginning and throughout…

I can't guess
how it must be
to be so shallow
that you have ta be
an alien renegade…

Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity…
I'm shipping my canon off so it can have a new career without me.
Its such a happy yet sad occasion to see your instrument leave the nest..... ;-[
so I had to spend just a little more time with it.
This is a composition for Jazz Quartet – Tenor Sax (sorry for the unrealistic stray notes), fretless bass, piano, and drums. All but the drums were preformed on my Fender Mustang + GR-20 retuned on the fly by Fractal Tune Smithy.
