Monday Playlist week of 9/12/2022

Hey. The cloud line has dropped down into the valley here obscuring the mountains. It is raining. I am hanging out and listening to a new song of mine, well several, but this one has some decent slide playing on it, so decided to share it with you. I was surprised and happy my picking hand was willing to belt out some solos, as it had balked on me a week or so ago and I could barely hold a pick. The premise of the song is: Our fine planet as a merry-go-round, and the shenanigans of humans riding along, to include me searching for that perfect life. Ha. Luckily age has slowed me down some, and I get to be in the moment more, as I catch my breath. Just the other day, I was standing there in the yard looking around (catching my breath) and the Cooper’s Hawk that has been hunting the neighborhood flew within 10 yards of me, before noticing that I was standing there. It is springtime here and I have been outside nearly every day doing gardening chores. I see that allows me to let go of a lot of the weight of the world, as I dig in the dirt. Yesterday, I dug up and weeded several rock gardens. I replanted some Lupine, Columbine, Lillies and Irises, then scattered some saved seed, mostly poppies, on the cultivated beds and composted the weeds and whatnot. After dinner, I started messing around on slide guitar, and then did this song. Hope you like it and thanks for dropping by, Mark

Round & Round

Demon Drink:

Hear I am a sinner, got a belly full of liquor
And I'm out acting crazy again

Last week I said no more, here I'm lying on the floor
Looking up thinking how where when

Now I'm up to my ass in long blade grass, searching for that wedding ring
She through at me, angrily when she found me out drinking again

Oh the Demon Drink, got me in trouble again
I don't know, where its all gonna end
But today I'm sober, so full of shame
Come the weekend time, I'll be at it again

I'm the nicest guy you'll meet, middle of the week
Shaking everybody's hand, the weekend comes you know what
Is bound to hit the fan.

When the bite comes on that's it I'm gone, like a bull to a big red flag
I let every body down all across town, I'll be acting crazy again

Oh the Demon Drink, got me in trouble again
I don't know, where its all gonna end
But today I'm sober, so full of shame
Come the weekend time, I'll be at it again

Woman done there best to tame me, with little to no success
A day at a time from that hurtin wine I tell you, boy I'm doing my best

When that bite comes on that's it I'm gone, like a bull to a big red flag
If there's whiskey about you better watch out, I'll be acting crazy again

Oh the Demon Drink, got me in trouble again
I don't know, where its all gonna end
But today I'm sober, so full of shame
Come the weekend time, I'll be at it again

Oh the Demon Drink, got me in trouble again
I don't know, where its all gonna end
But today I'm sober, so full of shame
Come the weekend time, I'll be at it again

Demon Drink - Original Song (c)

And The Sun Is Going Down

This one is about an old man knowing that his sun is going down. Looking back to when he was a young idealistic man with a goal. Meeting the lady of his life and going into a very different direction. He realizes that he made it to the top after all.  

I hope you like it!
This has been a very busy week! Things should slow down for a little while now. 

Take Care!!
dan

Lyrics;
 And the sun is going down
He's rocking in his chair
On the front porch with his lady
He's got plans to go nowhere

His mind rewinds the clock
To a much younger man
Who had a need to prove himself
But no cause for which to stand

His heart was beating strong
His confidence was high
The future bright before him
The limit was the sky

Until the sun'd do down
He'd work right through the night
He was going to reach the top
The goal within his sight

But the world can turn you upside down
And spin out of control
And even change a hard headed man
And take hold of his soul

And the sun was going down
And her hair did shine like gold

And The Sun Is Going Down

Such a great artist and singer/songwriter.  Real and down to earth
songs that are so relatable.  One of country's greatest.  I love Merle
Haggard and I love this tune.  My thanks to my friend, Lefty Mike,
for his vocals,harp,bass and helping with the recording.  Mike is a 
talented singer/songwriter with great songs on SC.  It would be
a treat to visit his SC page.

WHEN WE'RE GROWIN' UP
WE ALL NEED SOMETHIN'
TO KEEP US ON THE RIGHT TRACK
HIS SOMETHIN' WAS THE CHURCH NEXT DOOR

ONLY A HUNDRED YARDS AWAY
IT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT HE SAW
WHEN HE WOKE UP IN THE MORNIN'
IT WAS ON HIS MIND EVERY DAY

(CHORUS)
EVERYONE NEEDS A SYMBOL
OF RIGHT AND WRONG
TO KEEP THEM HUMBLE
EVERYONE NEEDS A SYMBOL
OF RIGHT AND WRONG
TO KEEP THEM OUT OF TROUBLE
HIS SYMBOL WAS THAT CHURCH

EVERY SUNDAY MORNIN'
AS HE WALKED TO CHURCH
HE COULD HEAR THEM SINGIN'
PRAISES TO THE LORD

DURING HIS TIME IN THE ARMY
HE COULD FEEL HIS MAMA PRAYIN'
IN THAT CHURCH NEXT DOOR
EVERY SUNDAY MORNIN'

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(GUITAR SOLO OPTIONAL)

HE WAS BAPTIZED IN THAT CHURCH
MANY YEARS AGO AND IT'S IS STILL
HIS SYMBOL OF RIGHT AND WRONG

(REPEAT CHORUS OPTIONAL)

Crime In High Places - Words & music by Pravinand Maharaj

There’s a death in the house tonight
Sorrow running wild
The priest has come and gone
Down the other side
You’re forgiven though you didn’t repent
A part of heaven’s love to you is sent
And all I’m left with are old familiar faces
Shadows deepen like crime in high places

I saw a man brought down
I saw a woman bleed
I saw children robbed of love by hate and greed
A war is raging, the battlefield’s a street
While someone’s staging a show of pure deceit
And in my corner I feel I’m slowly wasted
Darkness descends from crime in high places

I was forced to tell the truth
And swear by the light I pray
I was forced to give my youth
To old age and decay
But it’s alright now
I took a vow
By the hand of God to slay
The thief who comes before the light of day

There are no footprints on the shores of Galilee
By faith alone I stand, by grace alone I’m free
A multitude of sins dwell inside the soul  
There is no god within, just a demon without control
And every where I go there’s evidence and traces
Who does not know there’s crime in high places

This is the second Cohen song that I have covered, and will always return to his songs for they have much to teach us. He is one of my earliest influences.

Livin' Out Of Time

I couldn’t resist putting this song on my cover album.
When I saw Elvis perform in 1956 on a black and white TV I was 12 years old. Needless to say, that experience left an indelible mark on my soul, my mind, my heart and my love of music.  Elvis was truly the first performer to challenge social mores and bring on the Rock ’n Roll Revolution.

I hope you enjoy my version of this classic

Blue Suede Shoes - Cover

Back when the world was old style 'normal' and I was young and mad for love i knew this girl.......... 
I hope you're all well out there and you and your families are navigating the new normal......."New Normal" Who came up with that ?  Has there ever been a time when the madmen were not at the helm ?  That nice lady who is leading New=Zealand should be made Queen of the world. I'd sleep a lot easier.   I hope you enjoy this love song.

You say that you're a goddess......I could have told you that,
as you adopt a position on your yoga mat.
I'm on my knees, I've got one eye on the door,
little queen of heaven, lying on the floor.

Standing in the river where the fishes swim,
waste deep and dappled, you've got freckles on your skin.
Flowers in the meadow, big bird in the sky,
thunder in the mountains, and laughter in your eye.

I trace the patterns, on your summer dress,
just to feel you tremble, and just to make you guess.
Living in the moment, we've got nothing planned,
an extraordinary woman and an ordinary man.

An Extraordinary Woman. (Steve Killingbeck)
