Questions For The King Of Pop

I wrote this song after my brother Dave had an encounter with the widow maker, a term for a heart attack caused by 99% blockage of the main artery to his heart at the beach coming out of the water. Take a minute and think about how good life can be and the wonderful unheralded people who you meet by random chance and save your life. The 911 operator, the dispatcher who routes the call, the emergency people who pick you up in the ambulance and get you to the hospital through the emergency room into surgery where the artery is unblocked and Dave was in iCU recovery in under 90 minutes with no heart damage, arrhythmia and out of the hospital in 48 hours on his way to recovery. Special thanks to all the people we take for granted who answered the call. Special thanks to Andy Warner who added his musical talents to this song who shared his father also survived a heart attack. Take care of yourselves and let’s make the world work like this for everyone everywhere,

Widow Maker

American Brew A neat place I visited where I composed this song.

Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death Copyright Albert Keith 2025

Good Coffee is the cure on the path to righteousness
A small latte made with flowers atop the white cup crest
Cinnamon on the bar top, Blueberry muffins are so fresh
Where the shots took me to hell last night, the whiskey is the best

	
I looked up from the counter at the bottles on the bar
The label said Tarnished truth, It didn’t seem so far
Johnny Walker on the shelf, Bourbon Cream to Baileys ears
Bailey says why not, The Whistling Pig is here

American Brew, Give me coffee or give me death 
Where the the steam rises and my heartache starts to rest
American Brew, Give me coffee or give me death	


If  my soul dwells in Larceny, turn it off, I’ve had enough			
American Brew, Give me coffee, Or Give Me death
last night was really tough, turn it off I am a mess		
American Brew, Give me coffee, Or Give Me death
			
Bailey’s drink still on my breath, Yes I kissed the whistling pig
Just a minute, tarnished truth passed me on my street, 
Jameson, Lady Liberty,  Whiskey Rebellion,all the rest
American Honey, walk of shame, bitch slapped me in my chest

If my soul dwells in Larceny, turn it off, I’ve had enough			
American Brew, Give me coffee, Or Give Me death
last night was really tough, turn it off I am a mess
Where  the steam rises, my heartache starts to rest

					
Across the bridge to heaven to be near American Brew			
just a drop of latte, and  I’ll feel special too
just a drop of latte, and  I’ll feel special too

American Brew- Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death

I wrote this song to express how I feel about the state of leadership in America today. I think we can better results by holding each other and political leaders accountable for results without the drama and treat each other with respect. TEAM concept. My thanks to David Robinson for providing his musical skills and creative guidance to the creation of the song.

Take Some and Leave Some and Give Some

Rock of Kindness was inspired by the events of kindness we  remember over the years. This song was written at Song Travelers 2024by Bert Keith and Anna Rice.

Rock of Kindness

I wrote this song to appeal to the better interests of Valdimir Putin and Volodomyr Zelensky as fathers to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. As parents we all have a duty to stop war and destruction as an option to conflict resolution for our children. I believe Ukraine is the aggrieved party but I don't understand everything about the history of the war and I believe Ukraine should regain the land taken by Russian forces since 2014 and they should work out an arrangement for peaceful resolution of their dispute. This song could apply to any conflict anywhere.

The Grim Fairy Tale

I wrote this song for my friends at the Renegade, Lyrics for Lunch on Saturdays. Musical support from David Robinson

The Bard Of Old Bethesda is music today. The familiar role of the story teller telling the reality of music in the local drinking venues. Created by friends of mine who cared enough to motivate me to get exercise so I can continue my songwriting for many years. I edit and turned their poem into a song. Andy Warner on the arrangement.
