Lenny 

Lenny comes, Lenny goes
This guy is free
Just like I’d like to be
It comes on my bed every night and day
(‘n) It leaves me when I’m far away

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says 
No self-pity 
Resentment 
Nor tragedy
Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love
That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says 
No self-pity 
Resentment 
Nor tragedy
Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not

Let it come, let it go
Being free is the only way to be
That means a lot for this little puppy
It doesn’t think
It feels an act for free

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love

That the way Lenny does
That the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says
No self-pity
Resentment
Nor tragedy
No, no, no

Is that a ghost?
Is that a shadow?
Is that thing lost?
Is it my fellow?
It is not love
It’s just me 
Or you 
In the dark!

Lenny comes, Lenny goes
This guy is free
Just like I’d like to be
It comes on my bed every night and day
(‘n) It leaves me when I’m far away
That the way Lenny does
That the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves…

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says
No self-pity
Resentment
Nor tragedy

Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not
Lenny
Bambambambambam…
Lenny lives on Mars

This song is my attempt to process the wrenching incident that took place in my hometown on Memorial Day.  My hope is that real change will come from George Floyd’s murder though 2020 is seeming eerily similar to 1968.  
Tech note:  the jet plane heard in the recording was not intentional, just bad timing.  ***Updated with live drum kit 3/26/2023.***

Close your eyes
Til you can see it
look inside
Til you believe it 

A weight is upon us now
Digging itself a hole...
When it seems it’s beyond us now
It’s time to take control..

Free your soul
Til it confounds you
Take the time...
As it surrounds you

I see you lying there
Reaching for your last breath
Your future is dyin there
While the whole nation wept

A city cries
Beneath the skies
We gotta try 
To get it right...

Get It Right

Devin Locke had a wonderful freeform jazz guitar track he wanted me to collaborate on.  This marvelous cluster of chord voicings with melody and bass lines weaved in and through it, I could not begin to compete with much less add to.  I did the next best thing;  I added variations to his main themes in my own style, hoping to complement his phrases.  The result is a contrast of guitar and chord voices, and melody lines from two very different perspectives.  Devin's  Noir ending is very cool in the best tradition of jazz. For more of his music and fine playing: @devin-locke

I debated whether or not to scrap this one completely or just finish it, but I couldn't start anything else either, I was in such a rut. So, I took a couple of weeks off. It's hard to get out of a rut when you can barely get out of your house, but we went kayaking, and cooked some good meals and drank. a lot, a whole lot,  and I finally felt inspired enough to finish it. I've already started a new one so maybe the block has passed...

That's the first descant i've ever done in the outro, des CAN'T? more like des CAN, okay it's more of a des MAYBE...enough, I hate singing lol

You are everything to  me  
You loosened up the chains and set me free
Thank you for the love you’ve given me 
You are my destiny

I can see the magic in your smile
I’m sure that this is paradise
Slowly spinning out of time
Till I’m floating weightless in your eyes

It doesn’t have to feel this way
We don’t need the fireworks every day
Just holding hands can make me feel the same
I’m not ashamed to say

It’s the little things make it all worthwhile
Every day give me one more smile	
It’s a little bit of dancing on a Saturday night
A little bit of laughter when things don’t go right

the little things mean the most to me
A lazy day is all I need
A little bit of tenderness to ease the pain
A little bit of love to chase the blues away my baby

Look at all the ways our world has changed
Everything around us is so strange
But I would go through all of this again
For you my love and my best friend…

All The Little Things

This is a short piano improvisation based on the chords of and with a few allusions to the melody of Last Christmas.

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
