IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY
If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe
If it makes you happy I will tickle you
If it makes you happy I'm telling you true
If it makes you happy I'll be happy too
If it makes you happy I will wiggle my ears…
My song for the 2014 RPM Christmas Challenge. It's all over the place with style, kind of like random presents under the tree. ;)
Merry Christmas to you!
On the corner by the Opera
A girl with a balloon
Licks her cherry ice-cream
and gaze up at the moon
Her father points his long arms
To a poster across the street
A pirate with a guitar
Ball & Chains around his feet
A barrel…
(July)
A painting can be nice
Unless you paint away your life
No matter how much you trust
You should watch for the knife
For what you behold in the darkness
It can’t see you as well
The vision for which you quest
Shows you that War…
It wasn't until I was sitting in front of my computer trying to write lyrics to this one that I realized it is very, very similar to a song from last year's NaSoAlMo. Sorry about that.
If I told you that the lyrics to this were based on…

Very cool sound
Nice guitar tone on this track! I like the interplay with the keys very much.
BB would like this :)
Yes the thrill is gone( B B King). I sure will miss him. Great that we have so much recorded .........

It's nice to see a few reminders this week of what we will be missing. Long live BB's music!
