HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT
Don't you wear a hoodie -- No walking in the street
Armed with bags of Skittles -- There's killers on the beat
Hands up in the day time -- And never out at night
Don't be selling menthols -- No breaking up a fight
All…

HERE I AM
I've got troubles with my kidneys
My cholesterol is high
Swollen is my prostate
And my pancreas is fried
Well my blood pressure is boiling
And I really should be dead
Kiss my woman good-bye
Just before I go to bed
- But…

EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this
Good planets, hard to find
Insanity to wipe us out
To earn another dime
No use it is to build a house
Upon a dying land
We live upon a warming earth
Why don't we understand?

LIFE
The art of life, it lies between
Hanging on and letting go
I didn't ask to be alive
It's the best life that I know
So we are here, so let us be
Adding to the gripping tale
The universe can know itself
As we journey on our…

THE BEST I'VE FOUND
A ray of sun, an act of grace
A bit of song, a smiling face
Can lift me from dispair
And when I'm lost in yesterday
I find a kiss along the way
Will bring me here from there
A super moon, a darker blue
A purring…
Sweet song.
My song CODY'S SURPRISE is not a made up story.
I waited for a couple of years for Cody to write the song. He's a horse trainer singer/songwriter friend of mine living and working in California. Finally decided to write it for him. It was quite a trauma for him. His cowboy name is Cody Pendant.

FEEL THE TIME
Feel the time is rushing by,
I feel the time is near
Feel the time is crushing down,
I feel the time is here
That is how the world goes round,
that is how it goes
Just a question, when and how,
and that no one knows…
GOOD-BYE
I don't want to say good-bye
But I have to go
Catch the train that's heading West
Do another show
I don't want to make you cry
There's no other way
Give your weary head a rest
Carry on the day
- Don't know how to say good…

I'm mad, sad and scared for you, man. But, you have the right attitude and I hope that we can get together and play on the other side. Look for me. I feel honored to have played with you and will keep your tunes on my playlist… be thinking of you every time i listen… so, you will live on in the hearts of many in a cool way. That's a great legacy to leave. Peace!
This recording was revised 8/7/2014 with sound effects (train and whistle) and wah-wah guitar.

Of the story of a man
Roamed the country in a school bus
People called him Danville Dan…
WALKING ON THE MOON
See the Earth on horizon
Watch the Earth as she's arising
I hope the living are gazing
I hope the people are loving
Feel like I'm walking on the moon
I think I will be on there soon
My body's going to set me free…
This is a fun idea Greg has, and I can't wait to hear more.
He sent me an acoustic and vocal track and asked me to complete it.
I stayed up most of the night jammin' it. :)
It's a bit loose around the edges because I didn't work anything…
Great job! A full, rich sound. Nice guitar work. Especially love the vocal harmony. you're a smart choice to collaborate with -- you really know what you're doing.

This (just in case nobody notices) is a desperate cry of protest against the suicidal car culture human has created.

Reminds me of some of the out-of-this-world music from 2001:A Space Odyssey -- I'm seeing the monolith surrounded by pre-historic ape-men. Enjoyed it -- stay groovy!
Very interesting -- like a ghostly. psychedelic, out-of-the-box style sea shanty. I imagine life on a ghost ship would sound like this. Enjoyed all 10 minutes of it!
Thanks to Robert Palomo for giving this a little sound engineering. Robert said " I mixed thru my mastering plugin (Ozone 5).
