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.

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…

a Mash from this weeks sound-in.org workings..
Chris Vaisvil on guitar.. 22-edo interlude with the piece Washes in threes by Norbert Oldani and the big bass line by Glenn Smith
I like it when the music escapes the box and then makes a mad dash to get several yards away from that damn box. Very colorful - I dig the scene you paint with sounds. Dig the taste as well. Nice texture. Music should have texture when you're biting into it.
this was made in audacity because acid keeps on crashing when I go to save a composition very annoying :( but I was able to render the sounds in audacity minus the first 20+ minutes that were lost to bad acid.. acid studio 8
Trippy. Sci-Fi-ish. Reminds me of this time in the '70s when I came across these mushrooms in a cow field in Texas, and the next thing I knew, I was being abducted and probed by aliens. Groovy compilation of sounds -- Rock on!
"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.
I dig the strumming style, and particularly enjoyed the bass line, and the lead guitar was sweet, tasteful, and choice. An all around good groove. Rock on!
THAT'S "messing around?!" Sounding damn right professional to me. You can really stich together some tasty grooves! You have some mad mix down/mastering skills! Rock on!
I dig that strumming style! The vocals ROCK! Some sweet lead guitar licks happening here. Great recording job on the drums. Y'all truly got it together -- ROCK ON!
Can you imagine the uproar if they weren't ???........The drums have taken over.....what can i say!!.....what to try first?...I know I'll try a drum solo!!...Why Not?.....Watch out Ginger :dance4:
Damn good sounding digital drums! They must have cost you a fist full of pretty pennies! You play them quite well -- them some mighty fine beats! Rock on!
Pleasure boats and fishermen
Tugboat pushin three barges wide
Sit on the banks from morn till evening
Wave to the people as they pass me by
Up in Minnesota she’s fast and cold
Walleye fishing just below the dam
Go and catch em til…

And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…

Oh wow, how gorgeous!

Drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitars, vocals, lyrics, mix down/master job -- I love it all! Great job, guys -- Rock on!

:D Too groovy! You're a brilliant songwriter. I love this -- excellent job! Keep doing what you do and stay groovy. Great job on that slide!
As I got further into this song, I realize you really know what you're doing --you got some mad mix down/mastering skills!
I dig the strumming style, and particularly enjoyed the bass line, and the lead guitar was sweet, tasteful, and choice. An all around good groove. Rock on!
Ditto what Greg Connor said below me.

Fabulous! I dig your style. Lots of fun in the ears! Rock on!
You paint with sounds, and I dig the imagery! Top notch mix down/mastering job. Well done indeed -- Rock on!

Damn good sounding digital drums! They must have cost you a fist full of pretty pennies! You play them quite well -- them some mighty fine beats! Rock on!
Greg Connor is correct -- ZZ Top-ish. A lot of fun having this number tickle around inside my ear. Damn fine groove -- Rock on!
Dig! This is a very groovy tune. Love it! You ROCK! Rock on! Esta es una canción muy maravilloso. Quiéralo!
