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?
- Unless we govern for…
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.
WRECK OF NINETEEN THREE
People listen to me tell you
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…
Synth, trance, hip hop whatever. No vocals, just messing around with Music Maker and Toxic Biohazard Akai mini stuff....
Happy New Year everyone, may it be more musical
and less violent than 2014.
The mix down and mastering job is sooo professional and in great taste. You fellows are truly talented and your producer really knows what he/she/they are doing. FABULOUS!

It's very beautiful and healing, relaxing, renewing, but the end, I hope you don't mind me saying, is all too abrupt.
