HighWay Man (Conover/Splintered Finger)

Composed by Bruce Conover and Matt Warnick 

I Can’t Help You Now

funny now how it seems so strange
i should have known it from the start
i caught you stealin the town while i was fallen down
guess i was tearing out your heart

i used to feel empty just like you …it’s true
but i don’t want to change the things you do
it’s gonna be all right

and now you say that your the one i need
yes indeed, your wrong again
and i’m sorry i just can't help you now

searched my soul now im movin on
try a new way of dream’n
if not for you this tune would be through
in fairytales you believe in

i used to feel empty just like you …it’s true
but i don’t want to change the things you do

I Can't Help You Now ))))  Conover/Warnick

Those Things That Matter [Conover/ELT project]

A Thing or Two

I hear the ringing of the telephone
It’s almost quarter to nine
No one I know is up this early
But it’s you on the line.

I know that things we said last night
sounded so good together.
You got to know 
You see the light
Somethings they don't last forever.

But only lonely fools
think that love never ends.
But I know we can make it baby
because we'll always be friends.

I'm a man who understands 
a thing or two about love. 
I'm a man who understands 
a thing or two about love. 

Guitar Solo by Matt Warnick

a thing or two about love.

Roll down the windows let me pull over.
Let's take our time now since we've got older.

So why should we rush things
We have the rest of our lives
The rest of our lives

Roll down the windows let me pull over.
Let's take our time now since we've got older.

So why should we rush things
We have the rest of our lives
The rest of our live
repeat but don’t rush

Shaded and crisply dressed
Highway patrol man coming up to our little car
And then looking inside of our little window
And with his leather clad hand signaling for us to
roll down our little window…..

Good morning Officer
And how are we today?

How are we today? how are we today?
How are we today? how are we today?
Here we go……………

I highly recommend that you roll down the windows and pullover from time to time while driving down the path of life.

Had to get the train 
from Potsdamer Platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead

Sitting in the Djungle
On Nürnberger Straße
A man lost in time
Near KaDeVe
Just walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

Twenty thousand people
Cross Bösebrücke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

As long as there's sun
As long as there's sun
As long as there's rain
As long as there's rain
As long as there's fire
As long as there's fire
As long as there's me
As long as there's you

Find one friend and proceed......

Where Are We Now?    Conover/Massimo Ghianda

Free as a bird, 
it's the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry, 
like a homing bird I'll fly 
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to 
the lives that we once knew?  
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch 
that seemed to mean so much? 
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird, 
like the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry, 
like a homing bird I'll fly 
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to 
the life that we once knew? 
Always made me feel so free.
Free as a bird. 
Free as a bird. 
Fly my friend...... Fly

Nobody's Rules   Conover/Welin

We could be star crossed
We could be fools 
nobody told us
Nobody's rules

When I introduced myself.
You began to blush
And together we smiled.
And you were looking at me 
I couldn't stop thinking of you 
Those hours went on and on forever that night.

We suffered through with an awkward pause.
The front desk held almost all of our calls.
cause…

There was something new
there was something new
There was something different between me and you.

If you want a story
I’m happy to tell you
It’s about a man who crawled out of Hell

We could be Star Crossed
We could be fooled 
nobody told us
Nobody's rules
We could be star crossed
We could be fools 
nobody told us
Nobody's rules..

Cry © Chris Wiggs/Bruce Conover 21.02.16

If you know the reason
We’re saying goodbye
Then would'nt you tell me
Cos I want to cry
I want to cry

You’d be better off alone
Won’t be long you’re on your own
And you’re not the only one
Cos I wanna cry 
I wanna cry

Why did we quarrel and wrangle
Nerves all got jangled
Tied up and tangled
Out of our depths, in over our heads
Yearning and aching and cut up instead
How could we lose what we had?

Now that it’s over
Ashes just smoulder
The world has grown colder
And I wanna cry
I wanna cry

Now that we're older
Ashes on sholders
The world has grown colder
And I want to cry
I want to cry

Cry, cry, cry

Cry      ((((Conover/Wiggs))))

She’s smack dab in the middle. 
She's in a very precarious place.  
This week she brought on thunder 
But somehow….. She's keeps a smile on her face 
KellyAnne where is and what do you plan to do?   
With the time on your hands you'll be having so soon
KellyAnne where is and what do you plan to do?   
With the time on your hands you'll be having so soon

Little Kiku you made me smile this morning
while we had coffee out 
the rain began to fall on our menu as we planned our famous day … 
and then you reach to me 
and that look in your eye could stop every single bird in this sky or at least they would try to slow down 
those little birds could slow down

are you not sleeping well
are you eating all right
do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
i love you Kiku

Are you not sleeping well
Are you eating all right
Do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
I love you Kiku
I love you Kiku

Little Kiku you know I have no way of finding you in this big dark city 
This big dark city tonight
come home
just come home to me

we can go out for coffee
we can stand in the rain
just let me explain
just let me explain

and then you reach for my hand
and I see that look in your eye
you could stop birds in the sky 
or at least get them to slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down 
slow down
It's 10 o'clock......
night night

put up the kindling

This year, it's time to come home

We brace against the Storm.....

I'm using trial and error.
To handle task when placed in front of me.
I've borrowed bows and arrows
To remove myself from corners along the way.

Don't back down
Don't back down
Don't back down
Don't back down

Cry little boy.. cry
The world has grown up all around you boy.
And you're just sitting there…
Lookin’ around
Cry little boy.. cry

Wonderful stay at Post Ranch Inn  Big Sur California

Best 7day San Francisco to Los Angeles road trip ever 

Anonymous review
By Mr & Mrs Smith
It is just before dusk as we climb the steep hill to Post Ranch Inn. ‘Look! Look!’ I gasp, pointing to a bright crimson escarpment in front of us. The setting sun’s reflection has turned the mountains opposite, a beautiful electric puce. With a glass of cold chardonnay in hand and after (very few) reception formalities, we are transported to our room courtesy of one of the hotel’s very own executive eco-friendly Lexus Hybrids.

Bauhaus meets Middle Earth here. Forest-coloured redwood and Corten steel has been fashioned into 40 stilt-riding mini houses all designed around geometric shapes, and all in perfect harmony with 150 acres of natural forest and lime green pastures. It can’t have been an easy brief for architect Mickey Muennig. He was given the task of building 40 condo-like hotel rooms, all sensitive to the Big Sur’s craggy cliffs. Muennig apparently climbed trees and high ladders himself in order to cite the best views, affect the maximum privacy and save the redwoods’ roots from concrete. The result is outstanding.

As we drive down the path that leads to our room, the Pacific Ocean glittering to one side, and the grand old redwood dames towering on the other, it is clear why this hotel is considered, by many, to be one of the best in the world. Pfeiffer is our coastal room. (All are named after the pioneers that shaped the land over 150 years ago.)

Once inside, it is clear that the clever design extends to the remarkable interiors. A circular space around the lavish Royal Pedic bed is made cosier by warm redwood walls panels and seascape-hued soft furnishings. Grey and rust-flecked Indian Raja slate lines the deep Jacuzzi bath and the pre-stacked fireplace in our bedroom all breathe ‘calming’, ‘homely’, ‘organic’, ‘inviting’... But the money shot is to be found beyond. From the 30-foot verandah, we get a 180-degree uninterrupted view of the ocean.

It may be tiredness from the long drive, or maybe Mr Smith has something in his eye but I swear I can see him welling up as we stand staring out to sea. A scarlet ribbon of sunset is streaking the sky to the west and the ocean hovering below us is just majestic. There is no perceptible evidence of humanity. No building is visible to the eye; just conifers and berry bushes below, some condors swooping, and, 1,200-foot below, moss-green rocks are audibly being lapped by crashing waves. 

At some stage, it becomes time for dinner, so, guided by environmentally supportive lanterns along the cliff path, we make our way to the hotel’s renowned Sierra Mar restaurant, two minutes' walk. Pretty much every table is taken which, for a Tuesday night, is testament to the superb menu that Craig von Foerster has created.

Although it would be easy to pass your time at Post Ranch floating in the infinity pool staring out to sea, there are many activities and outdoor pursuits. One is Mindful Meditation which fits well with the Big Sur’s hippie roots. Origami’d fresh fruit tempts alongside courgette frittata, buttermilk waffles, sausages, eggs Benedict with avocado and fresh juices – all fuel for our next adventure, the Esalen Centre, a true Californian get-in-touch-with-your-navel retreat centre, further down the coast. 

As we pack our bags, it is clear that the Post Ranch effect has taken hold of Mr Smith. He turns to me, open faced, and says, ‘Mrs Smith, this has been one of the best hotels, ever.’ I can almost see that zoom-lens shot in his thought bubble.

Three on a match (also known as third on a match or unlucky third light) is a purported superstition among soldiers during the Crimean War to World War II. ... Since then it has been considered bad luck for three people to share a light from the same match.

Stay Low.......

This is new for me... Loose and more live feel. I usually wouldn't release something like this but keep it in my back pocket for bike rides along the beach...
It started as basic jazz and once the brilliant Sax and Flutes by @joerxworx were recorded it almost sounded like early Zappa. As a totally unschooled musician that can't read or write I always looked at jazz as an unreachable destination.. Jussi Welin topped everything off with some great "straight from the heart" guitar and solo work.
 @gotchi and Tob just added the extra perspective  and temperament it needed
I'm sharing this side of my work to get feedback from the SC troops.

Hazy mornings with you
Everything’s gone downhill

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
Cause you care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Just a last time then I’ll disappear
All of our tainted years

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
You care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
