1969
My Teen-Age 'First-Love' Had A Great Voice 
& Still Uses It With The Sacramento Master Singers

This Was Recorded In 1969  
In My Bedroom
I Played Guitar 
While Laura & I Sang A Duet
Of Coded Messages 
To A Reel-To-Reel 1/4 InchTape-Recorder
About Subjegation To 'The King'
Which I'm Guessing Were Both Our Fathers

It's Wonderful That This Two-Minute Minuet  
Survived A Half-Century & I'm Proud To Share It
The Lyrics Are Biblically Vague
But Kinda Self-Empowering... Until They're Not 
& We Must All...

ASK THE KING

I Asked The Sun To Rise
I Asked To Blue The Skies
Why Then Do You Ask Me Why?
When You Can Ask For It
I Asked The Rain To Snow
I Asked For Me To Grow
Why Then Do You Ask Me Why?
When You Can Ask For It
Why Try To Sing When You Can Cry?
Ask The King

Stand Out In The Light
And Just Ask For The Night
Maybe Then You Wont Ask Me Why
It’s Dark At Night
Why Do It Right If You Can Cry?
Just Ask For Night
I Asked The Sun To Rise
I Asked To Blue The Skies
Why Then Do You Ask Me Why?
When You Can Ask For It
Why Try To Sing If You Can Cry?
Just Ask The King

ASK THE KING

There's No-Fi - Like Lo-Fi
Some 'Sound' Advice 
I've Been Writing & Recording Songs 
Since I Was 14 In 1964
When I Began 
I Couldn't Read Or Write Music
So In Order To Remember It 
I Had To Record It... 
In The 60's, It Was On A Reel-To-Reel 
By The Late '70s, I Realized 
I Had To Be My Own Favorite Artist  
And Keep Track Of The Songs I'd Written 
To Keep Me Company In My Old Age
So - This Is A Musical Diary Of My Life 
For The Last 60 Years
By Clicking "Playlists" 
You Can Follow A Progression
By The Decades

ASK THE KING
