Like anyone who happens to look, I see the signs of a failing economy all over the Country. This song is a effort to encourage folks to struggle for a more open and equitable system for the financial benefit of all of us.
Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain
There's a definite degree of a Bob Dylan element in this one. I like the flavor, the lyrics, the energy. You remain one of my very favorite Folk songwriter!
The struggle continues for the decent working folks to survive in a world run by "greed graft and corruption." which by a strange coincidence is the law firm that represents most of the enemy's.
Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, human beings...it's all the same.

Thank you for coming to the pound
Take your time. Look around.
We’ve got something for everyone,
Someone for everyone.
Thank you for coming to the pound…
I wrote this song for a benefit I played for the Yellowstone wolves. It is the true story of the reintroduction of the wolves in
Yellowstone Park . It's an ongoing controversy between the out laying rangers and environmentalist
I love the Ideas of the Wolves running free, except I feel also for the family's making their living out there. It will remain my hope that the balance will be reached.
A remix of this tune by a guy who really knows how to mix tracks proper...Andy found a producer type guy that liked this song but thought the mix was really bad...so I sent him all the individual tracks and this is what he came up with I think…
With My Sister Kathy Bores
Last Waltz Of The Evening
The last waltz of the evening
Last dance of the night
I’m making the most of each beat of my heart
Music plays and I’m holding you so tight
Hard to see it come to an end
But it’s going to…
Backing track for Coz I love you by Slade, this was my first attempt at doing a cover version. It's a lot different from the original.

(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge

I saw "the Watchmen"....got me thinking.
are we truly immortal?
will we live through the material passing
or have we died oh so close to the light

A slave of no one

The door of my heart is now open.
I am free
I am free to love

Oh my heart I release you from your prison cell
I alone can be the one…

Very nice. Like a continuation of CITY OF NEW ORLEANS
Good story telling and fun to hear the banjo.
Greg Connor RULES! But so do you! ;)
Looney Toon characters like Bugs Bunny are the masters of Chutzpah.
Still digging it!
<3
Nice tune!
Ahhh -- you're a heart-filled, marvelous songwriter. Rock on!
Fun!
You tell 'em, Bear!
Love it!
Great job!

Four legs and love, makes me wish we were all free again.
Ah yes the beginning of a Minnesota long goodbye
Breath in ..breath out it's a miracle
A prairie home evening , Love those Minnesota sounds
Original and sounding good.
Laughter is good cracking medicine
Funkity bunkin'

Old base players never die... they just augment the seventh.
Now that's some fine duet work. I'm jealous just a sweet song all around.
I can hear some cool applications for this style.
cool a little different, peaks interest
Fables and folklore love and desire finding and loosing whispers of ages and eons
All of us and one more morning
Tripping in the steps of fancy
All down along the sky and rolling.
melodically melancholy 'Sweet' music all the way.
Hey Roger nice lyllting tune
Steve, this is a song I learned from my father use it as I did if you wish.
lascivious licentious swimmingly silly and G-demolished ,
