EVERYTHING IS DREAMABLE,
IF YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE INTO YOUR HANDS,
TAKE THE CALL DON'T TAKE FALL,
OR I'LL BE TALKING TO THE UNDERGROUND,

THEY WONT TAKE YOU FOR A LONGER DRIVE,
THEY'LL TAKE YOU FAR AND WIDE,
FAR AND WIDE,

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE,
MAY'BE JUST ONE WISH BEFORE GOODNIGHT,
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND,
A MIRACLE OR A SENSE OF GOODBYE,

OPEN YOU MIND AND FLY WITH ALL YOUR DREAM'S
THEY'LL TAKE YOU FAR AND WIDE,
FAR AND WIDE,
(break)
THERE'S A CHANCE THE COIN WILL TOSS,
BUT LEAVE BEHIND A TRAIL OF FAITH AND TRUTH,

THEY WONT TAKE YOU FOR A LONGER DRIVE,
THEY'LL TAKE YOU FAR AND WIDE,
I WONT TAKE YOU TO THE WRONGER SIDE,
I'LL TAKE YOU FAR AND WIDE,
FAR AND WIDE.

Far and Wide

FAR & WIDE

Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Not Quite The Blues

Many thanks to Monkey Blood Lowdown, third world renowned multi-instrumentalist, board certified licensed ninja, expert nerf dart marksman, and retired Kawasaki mechanic(https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown?ref=clipboard). This is his tune, and he plays the drums and organ. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to add the rhythm and lead guitars to this rendition. You should check out his original (https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown/long-phase-1?ref=clipboard), which I favor over this rendition; I won't pretend to have improved it. I would be much obliged if you gave that one a spin. 

Also check out the work Monkey Blood Lowdown does with this oddball groove band, one of my favorite bands: https://soundcloud.com/user-291890055?ref=clipboard

3 Christmas Cards

card 1
The snow is falling through the pines,
And a gentle wind is blowing
As the flurries fly, through the moonlit sky
The winter world is glowing

I wish you peace, this special night,
I hope the new year works out right
And I wish that we, could get together for a while,
I miss the laughter, and the adventures, I miss your pretty smile,

card 2
The house is shining warm and bright
The chimney smoke is flowing
Inside the people smile, and for a little while,
Their hearts are overflowing

I wish you joy, this special day
And I hope the new year goes our way,
I wish that we could see you here again,
I miss you, and I love you, and I'm lost without my friend

card 3
As this town gets dark, there’s skaters in the park
And the carolers are singing
Such a pretty scene dressed in red and green,
And joyful bells are ringing

And I wish you peace,
I wish you love,
And I wish you all your heart dreams of,
And I wish you hope, in times when hope seems lost
I wish this for you, and for    me, and I wish it for the world.
