A prime representative of what a Main Street Blues is and should be about. Very powerful lyrics indeed. So moving, and the music penetrates the heart. Your vocals are so real -- one knows you mean what you're singing!
My dad, Danville Dan the Singing Hobo, use to say, "A hobo travels to work, a tramp travels but doesn't work, and a bum doesn't travel and doesn't work." Anyway, enjoyed the thought-provoking lyrics and melody. Keep on keeping on!
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.
Hadn't listen to this song in awhile, and yep, I still love it. Your one of my favorite Political Folk songwriters ever. Thanks for telling it like it is. Rock on!

Sometimes the oddest things inspire a song. This one, about a long-time friend and former bandmate, a consummate musician, who passed away suddenly last year... just leaped out after I read a Facebook post where a couple of mutual friends had…
This is, actually, the instrumental version of I Play C and THEN comes SNAPSHOTS, which was written one morning at a campground between Comfort and Welfare, Texas called OLD NUMBER NINE Depot. It was a weekend songwriter retreat with Liza Gilkyson…

Guilty Roses
Three dollars at the drug store
For a rose as real as life
Can't pass the display
I want to take one to my wife
But she's one suspicious lady
A rose herself you see
"I'm not that complicate."
That's what she said to me…
Still struggling with this one...
Maybe not possible to make this work in a country song...MY DICK DON'T KNOW SHE'S GONE

Friends and folks I work with ask me what it…
Leave your best behind
They say your life is nothing more
Than the blinking of an eye
And everything you say or do

They tell the tale of the one they…

A planet and a star

Somewhere between Portland…
Here is a John Lee Hooker Song that Buck and I used to sing in Duluth. We were playing in a group called *"THE LARRYS"*
I love Bucks harmony on this!
I moved away a couple years ago, and Buck stopped by for a visit last Friday. As you can…
Recorded Last Friday - I sprung this song on Mark Imsdahl while we were playing music together.
I thought he did pretty good for never hearing the song before.

Ha ha! Rock on! "That train ain't the only thing you're on" -- what a line!
