Drop In a Bucket of Tears

Madison's Honor Among Thieves, live at The Harmony Bar and Grill. Recorded by Steve Gotcher for the 105.5 radio show "Mad City Live" Halloween 199. Some of the tunes were on the band's 1998 album, "Primordial Soup du Jour",  but not this wild and crazy one.

I make music and visual art. Here's a raw recording of a song I wrote on the subject.

Pick and Pen                                                                   Andy Ewen 7-13-10             

Pick and Pen
Noodles and Doodles
Celestial Ocean
Sparks from the Ground
Wiry Farmhand just got a notion
To see what he Sees 
And to follow the Sound.

Chicken Leg kicked an Egg
Far off into the night
It bounced off the Moon
Then I wrote this tune
In the glow of ovarian light.

Pick and Pen
Noodles and Doodles
Celestial Ocean
Sparks from the Ground
Wiry Farmhand just got a notion
To see what he Sees 
And to follow the Sound.

Travelin’ through this valley of thought
I can’t sell nuthin’ 
So I can’t be bought
E-A-D and G-B-E
I hear what I hear 
And I 
See what I see.

Pick and Pen
Noodles and Doodles
Celestial Ocean
Sparks from the Ground
Wiry Farmhand just got a notion
To see what he Sees 
And to follow the Sound.

Pick and Pen

A guitar improvisation on a simple phrase which, to my mind, is reminiscent of the depression era.  Maybe a slight touch of Mingus.
