House of Taj session #207. Well not actually at the house but down the street at the space on Superior(close enough).  Was an unexpected jam February 24th 2021 when Jason Sipe, Eric Mahle, Ryan Farnham and Melissa Spaulding stopped in and played whatever came to mind at the time. I recorded this tune straight to  Garage Band on my phone. Started with a bass riff by Jason,  random guitar and vocals by myself, Ryan and Eric on drums and Melissa on keys. Always fun to have a something that you never new existed seconds before it happened.

Coming around, taking your town
English channel gonna be real fire
In the sunlight, in the moonlight
Everybody's gonna see

I got my lane, hopping for days
Pacific Highway going our on way
In the right time, in the morning
It's gonna get there

All the Way Home
All the Way Home
I'm gonna get you
All the Way Home

Grooving in line, moving in time
I'm the driver and doctor gonna feel so right
In the morning, coming downtown
Alligator alley gonna be alive

Come in to see, hopping for free
Little nice rose gonna be there for me
In the morning, in the nighttime
Pacific Highways gonna give

All the Way Home
All the Way Home
I'm gonna get you
All the Way Home

Rolliin around, hittin' the ground
Pacific Highway gonna be so right
In the moonlight, in a small town
All the way back home

All the Way Home
All the Way Home
I'm gonna get you
All the Way Home

All the Way

Livin' In A Jelly Roll

The uplifting sounds of Trees in the world

**lyrics**
Another lonely day and the night is coming on fast
There is no reason to sit home alone feeling depressed

Don't be fooled by the things that you hear
It doesn't mean that love's not near
Cause if you go and plant your seed
(If you plant your seed)You can have new trees

Put down your guard and get yourself into town; see all that's around
Why should you go insane tonight get off the ground

Don't be fooled by the things that you hear
It doesn't mean that love's not near
Cause if you go and plant your seed
(If you plant your seed)You can have new trees

Another lonely day and the night is coming on fast
There is no reason to sit home alone feeling depressed

Don't be fooled by the things that you hear
It doesn't mean that love's not near
Cause if you go and plant your seed
(If you plant your seed)You can have new trees

"Tweak the mixes a little more? Lay down some more tracks? Start from scratch? The answers to these questions are no. Oh wait.. A cover. Went thru my box of pictures I took when I was 10 and in the rat race of kid polaroid photographers around town. Found this one I took(my brother Darius with his wheels). Ok...With fall around the bend here is On the Loose."
