Sometimes I Want to Be a Dog

Sometimes I want to be a dog
Lay around the house all day, like a lump upon a log.
Go out in the yard to pee, it really ain’t that hard to see
Why a dog’s life … that’s the life for me.

Sometimes I want to be a dog.
Forget the way you left me and treated me so wrong.
Not think about you all the time, go sniff another dog’s behind.
A dog’s life yeah that’s the life for me.

Oh, I want to be a dog.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to lead me on.
Turn my tail on memories of you and all we done.  
Sometimes I want to be a dog. 

Oh lord, please let me be a dog.
Wouldn’t have to work or watch the clock.
I’d curl up in my little round bed, oblivious to those words you said.
A dog's life, that's the life for me.

Oh, I want to be a dog.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to lead me on.
Lift my leg on memories of you and all we done.  
Sometimes I want to be a dog. 

A doggie’s life is easy. A doggie’s life is free.
A doggie’s got no worries except for the occasional flea.  
In a doggie’s life the fact you’re gone wouldn’t mean a thing to me.
Sometimes I want to be a dog.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a dog.
Chase a ball and go out for a walk.
And if you come to visit my owner, you wouldn’t know it was me.
And I’d jump up and hump your leg and be as happy as I could be.  
Yeah, I’d jump up and hump your leg and be as happy as I could be.  

Oh God, please let me be a dog.

Hi guys, really proud today introducing a very fruitful collab with my friend Dirk Taubenheim from The Gatsbys. This song means a lot to me, as this is my very first song I partly wrote almost 15 years ago. I only finished music and arrangement last year, and considering the great welcome this song had from you all, I decided to carry on the work and write lyrics. 
Once it was finished, I offered Dirk to sing it, as I always thought he had the admirable rocky voice this song deserved. He accepted straight away to sing it, which was an honor for me considering his prolific songwriting career. If you don't know him yet, you definitely have to visit his SC page : https://soundcloud.com/the-gatsbys
I hope you enjoy, and best wishes to you all.

Ascent to the Summit

Lost Highway is a country music song written and recorded by blind country singer-songwriter Leon Payne in 1948. Hank Williams Sr. recorded it in 1949 and the rest is history. This is my raw one take version of this great song.

M-The Sunrise on New Year's Day

People Leave a lot of Fuss and Bother

people leave a lot of fuss and bother

Hello Listeners 😊

Here's the first of a new series of recordings from mid-February 2023.                             The way it began with my lengthy piano intro, we realized 'The Music' was asking us to Pause... much like the woman in the photo is. And as the tonal waves pulsed and expanded outwards there was a stillness present in which our Muses spoke to and through us.  And wow, here was an invocation of the 'Shekinah Fire'! 

What is this ancient 'Fire'?  Well, from what i understand, it represents the Presence of Life, the Radiance of Love, and the unfolding Flow of Truth.  So we stayed with it, and as we tuned into it, i suppose we were into a kind of meditation on the richness and goodness of Life. Listening deeply, and keeping things simple and tonal. 

Tim was on his Telecaster and i was playing that ancient Upright Grand Piano as we stayed present and let it all unfold calmly and naturally.  

And yeah... as it was said of old, to everything there is a season. A this was the calm before what was recorded next. So we just let it be what it was.

May you enJOY. 😊

The photo is also from late February and captured what's called 'a Zodiacal Ray' (seen coming from above through the central portion of the pic).  It happens either just after Sunset or before Sunrise , and originates as the Sun shines through planetary dust from the mid Solar System region.

The Reefer Song
By Cowboy Billy Herron

My friends all like to do reefer
They think it’s lots of fun.
They laugh and joke with every toke.
They ain’t hurtin’ anyone.

But when they pass a joint to me,
I have to wave it away. 
I feel bad because I'm kinda harshin’ their buzz, 
But this is what I say ...

It makes me stupid as a stump.
Horny as a hound.
Woozy as a worm that’s a-wigglin’ on the ground.  
Giggly as a girl gettin' tickled up and down.
That’s what reefer does to me. 
Yeah that’s what reefer does to me.  

Now I know it’s getting legal
In a growing number of states.
Across the nation there’s a population 
Who think it’s really great.

But when it comes to can-na-bis
I have to say, “I can-not.”
'Cause when I do weed I’m guaranteed
To get dimmer than a 15-watt.   

It makes me stupid as a stump.
Horny as a hound.
Woozy as a worm that’s a-wigglin’ on the ground.  
Giggly as a girl gettin' tickled up and down.
That’s what reefer does to me. 
Yeah that’s what reefer does to me.  

Ain’t like like I never smoked it.
I had my share back when.
But then one day I got carried away.
Smoked a whole dime bag with a friend.

When I went home I was in my room
And things started getting weird.
My Neil Young poster started talking to me.
And I got really scared.

I went outside, walked down the street.
And everyone was staring at me.
Cars hit the brakes for to see me baked.
So I hid behind a tree. 

Then a psychedelic squirrel came up to me.
And he looked me in the eye. 
He shook his little head, and then he said,
"Dude, you are really high."

So I ran back to my house again.
And I didn’t know what to do,
I went to the kitchen 'cause my belly was itchin’
For some junky no-good food.

I decided to cook three hot dogs
And I smothered them with Nutella.
My Mom, she caught me in the act.
She said, “What’s going on there, fella.”

The kitchen was a mess, my Mom was mad.
So I just went to sleep.
That’s the last time I smoked pot my friends.
'Cause of what it does to me.  

It makes me stupid as a stump.
Horny as a hound.
Woozy as a worm that’s a-wigglin’ on the ground.  
Giggly as a girl gettin' tickled up and down.
That’s what reefer does to me.  
Yeah that’s what reefer does to me.
