SAY A PRAYER FOR JASON

I had another plan for today, but then… I finished this song, and I couldn’t hold it back any longer. It's brand new. It was inspired by a line written to a friend in an e-mail, not intended to say it all to her, and it took off from there with a meaning and life of it’s own. Of course it had to have some sound effects which you will understand, if not from the title, If I Was A Fly, then from the words. It went places I didn’t expect. Hope you enjoy and have as much fun as we did!
Lyrics:
If I was a fly (2-1-2004)
1.	If I was a fly
I’d fly up on your wall
With my sticky feet stuck up there, more or less
I would surely find, what you got on your mind
It’s time!, to put it to the test
‘Cause if you really want me, I would stay
And if you didn’t, I’d just fly away.
Chorus: 	If I was a fly
		If I was a fly.
2.	If I was a fly
Way up on your wall
Somewhere up too high, for you to swat
With my exray oil slick bug eyes I’d see, what you think of me
Do you really love me, or not
‘Cause if you really want me, I would stay
And if you didn’t, I’d just fly away.
Chorus: 	If I was a fly
		If I was a fly.
Solo: (8 bars)
Bridge: 	If you made your mind up
		I’d know where I’d wind up
Chorus: 	If I was a fly
		If I was a fly.

Here's an uptempo Valentine love song from a farmer to a girl he met online. It's also a good song to dance to and sing along with. This in a recent mix and master edit, but with no real change in the words and it's message from previous versions. There's some humor and woven in grins with this tune, but the music is serious and reflects the varied talents of the musicians involved. Hope you get your fair share of grins along the way. Enjoy and cut a rug wherever you find yourself listening!
Lyrics:
Hey Miss Valentine, Edited
Refrain: Hey Miss Valentine, be mine!
	     Hey Miss Valentine, be mine!
1.	Here’s the bottom line, you won’t need a fancy recipe
With gormet stuff, that’s in the stuff, that you’d cook up for me
Cause I’m highly suggestable, and I’m easy to agree
All about the simple life, ’bout simple as it can be
Hey Miss Valentine, be mine!
2.	Here’s the bottom line, we won’t need a bartenders guide
‘cause you already stirred me up, and I’m plum satisfied
We can pick wild grapes, drink the wine we make, let the entertainment budget slide
Just sit around and watch the TV, old episodes of Rawhide
Hey Miss Valentine, be mine!
Solo:
3.	Here’s the bottom line, We won’t need big travel plans 
We can take that trip, when I kiss your lips, ‘cause  I’m a steady lovin’ man
Since we met up on Farmer’s dot com, We’ve had a lot’s good clean fun
And if you want you a country boy, I just could be the one
Hey Miss Valentine, be mine! 
Bridge:	I figure it was luck I found you, and I’m thinking I better move fast
I get a feeling when I’m around you, and I just got to make it last
Hey Miss Valentine, be mine!
Hey Miss Valentine, be mine! 
Hey Miss Valentine, be mine!

Hey Miss Valentine, Edited

Life is a blast! if you take hold and grab it for the ride.

TOPICAL STORM is a radio show concept that takes one topic and plays a veritable storm of songs from pop music of the 1920s to today.

Rockin' Rolle Entertainment's TOPICAL STORM Show #1

This is for your mid-week (Hump Day) listening pleasure. Read into it from where it takes you, literally or whatever. A friend dropped by while we were laying it down and came up with that signature lick that beings it in and takes it out. It's a jazzy flavored blues tune, upbeat, and can be danced to if you like. When we played it out, some folks sang along, so if you'd like, help yourself and have fun!
Lyrics:
Slow Train (A Dollar’s Worth For Our Dime) 
Chorus:	Let’s catch a slow train Baby, So we can take our time
		Let’s catch a slow train Baby, So we can take our time
		And that way Girl we bound to get, A dollar’s worth for our dime.
1.	Come and meet me at the station, ‘bout a quarter to ten
Come and meet me at the station, ‘bout a quarter to ten
Get us some round trip tickets, so we can take it back again.
2.	We can run out to the roundhouse, and do that turn around
We can run out to the roundhouse, and do that turn around
We can keep it slow and easy, then hold that throttle down.
Chorus	(same as above)
Solo
3.	Tell your Mama we be going, and tell your Daddy too
Tell your Mama we be going, and tell your Daddy too
Tell ‘em we have got a mind to, ride on that big choo choo.
4.	I declare my little rider, I love you, oh my soul
I declare my little rider, I love you, oh my soul
I want to take you on a slow train, and feel them steel wheels roll.
Chorus: 	(same as above)
Tag:And that way Girl we bound to get, a dollar’s worth for our dime.

Continuing with the opening of Porch Music season, my buddy Mark and I wrote this brand new, never been posted, tune that fits the bill for gathering out back and picking. My other buddy Zoltan, who I call Jazz Man, gave it, and other bluesy-grass numbers like it, the Custom Genre tag of Bluesgrass. The tune illustrates how much words and their arrangement, in this case in the title itself, can drive the rhythm of the song. It is upbeat, foot stomping, music that features a fiddle, and Bryan (on things with strings) and Mark ( with background and accent vocals) join me in performing this debut cut. Much fun was had by all involved, we all got caught up in the meaning. Dance or sing along if it moves you. We hope something in it causes you to grin! That's intended.
Lyrics:
Don’t Forget To Not To Clock In
C. Don’t forget to not to clock in
     Don’t forget to take another day off
     Spend a little time with your friends
     Not working has a different kind’a pay off
     The trick is in the knowing 
     While we’re so busy rowing
     Our time is just a blowin’ in the wind, my friend
     So don’t forget to not to clock in.
V1	I got a buddy, works 88 hours a week
	His eyes are all buggy, ‘cause that boy hardly sleeps
	He’s got a two week vacation
	That he’s debating takin’
	And I’m debating calling him out
	What’s that about?
C. (As above)
V2	I got a girl , so busy that she couldn’t see
	She was my world, but she had no time for me
One day she saw me fishin’
And she said I’ve been a wishing
That I had a little time to play
( Got us a baby sitter, to stay home with our litter, and we satisfied some wishes, That next day! Okay! )
C. (As above)
Solo
B.	I know a workaholic when I see one, But y’all you know I never want to be one
	Don’t mind the work, but every now and then
	I’d rather call my boss and say, I’m too well to come in…
C. (As above)  / Tag: Tick tock, It’s all we got!

Don't forget to not to clock in Mp3

This song has been coming together, slowly but surely, over a pretty large span of time. It began with my friend, Tray Pa, writing partner for years, sharing the hook line that the song was built on ("You Drive Me To Drinking"), first with me and then with my amigos. When the idea blossomed to use conversational like spoken lines throughout the track, my daughter Amelia Faith stepped up to become the she in the couple that this song brings to your attention, a kind of unfolding story song. It's bluegrass with a touch of blues, and my buddy Bryan on dobro to bring that touch of blues into the mix. My friend rob completes the list of co-writers, having come up with the bones of this music and by playing standup bass on this brand new, never been posted track. With all the tag like spoken lines, it's a structure that marks a first of a kind to my knowledge. We all hope you like what you hear!
Lyrics:
