I built a Fender Jaguar out of various parts from the Fender parts pile, and this is it's debut, "Kitty Wants To Play"

This little kitty is a funky short scale delight that likes to purr through Fender Tweed tones supplied by the Amplitube Fender 2 collection. 

And Kitty's silky purr is supplied by a set of EP Custom Pickups custom wound Jaguar pickups with a special hot kitty wind of 6.3 neck and 6.9K bridge pickup...

wind up with
a boy like him
you need to leave him

if i do won't you come to me
leave that cheater behind

she'll just break your heart / weldon 2024

sometimes I know that you think about
the girl that walked away
then out of the clear blue
she shows her face again

don't you, take her, back
into, your heart, man
she'll just, break your, heart

what makes her think that you'll take her back
the gaul of her
the way that she cut you
her knife into your back

don't you, take her, back
into, your heart, man
she'll just, break your, heart

i was there when you fell apart, it wasn't a pretty sight
there's no steering clear when she's in your life, she'll tear you apart

don't you, take her, back
into, your heart, man
she'll just, break your, heart

all I 'm trying to do is just help you out, to steer you clear
of the pain that she'll bring you
a life full of tears

don't you, take her, back
into, your heart, man
she'll just, break your, heart
don't you, take her, back
into, your heart, man
she'll just, break your, heart

She'll Just Break Your Heart

Keep Me In Your Heart "Warren Zevon Cover"

Cover Of A Bob Dylan Classic Song Just Like Tom Thumb Blues For My Friends.

"Tom Thumb Blues" Bob Dylan Cover

I haven't been very creative lately. With this pandemic robbing me of all my gigs, I've been fighting a bit of depression, so I forced myself to sit down and write a song. This song is the first one that I've used my Martin guitar on since Lynn Wheelwright fixed it up for me! And the electric guitar is my Zemaitis which has worked it's way into my heart as my current favorite! The microphones were Rode Classic II on vocal, #Violet Globe Vintage on the Martin, Sennheiser MD421 on the Ampeg amp. And heartbreak songs are my favorite (scroll down for the lyrics), so here we go...

When I finished the song I felt quite a bit better :)

tears in my eyes / weldon 2020

with that smile, and bright eyes
she looked right into me
and she lied, yeah she lied
'bout the life that she'd show me
but I was too blind, to see that I'd wind up,
with the tears in my eyes

she told me, she told me,
she said she'd never leave me
through that smile she lied
ooh, that girl, she deceived me
so why did I try, only to wind up
with the tears in my eyes

solo

but I was too blind,
only to wind up
with the tears in my eyes

so why oh why
did I ever believe her
like the snake in the tree
she whispered to me
with her tounge tipped in poison
the ancient deceiver
brought the tears to my eyes

the ancient deceiver
she brought the tears to my eyes
she brought the tears to my eyes
I got the tears in my eyes
