Amusements

Oleander -- Do you know what you do to me?  You're smile is infectious -- You're laughter's contagious -- But I think I ought to avoid this malady.

Oleander (Live at Bazaar Cafe)

But when she's with me
Even I can see
Tall girls also fall in love

Tall Girls In Love (Live at Bazaar Cafe)

Fish, not "Phish"

They'll try and cram platitudes in a man
Just jam 'em in — he's a tuna can 
Like "There are many fish in the sea" and 
"God has touched each grain of sand”
Well, it sounds to me like someone has 
Too much time on His hands
And I don't want to have to spend    
All my life as a fisherman

If I catch a fish, should I 
Draw her from her waters?
Watch her flop about my deck
Before I cut and gut her?
Cook her up in olive oil and
Serve her up for supper?
And once I have consumed her, 
I should have to catch another?

Then soon the seas shall be empty 
For all men will go fishing
Until appetites are satisfied and
That's just wishful thinking
They're polluting all our rivers with their 
Lines and constant angling
They'll cast a net around the world that's as
Choking as entangling

If you feed a man a fish, you'll 
Fill his belly for a night
But if you teach a man to fish, he's 
Famished but he's occupied
Me, I’m so sick of baiting hooks with
Fancy lures and worms and flies
I'd rather sail on aimless-like and
Hope that fish fall from the sky

Perhaps I ought to dry my skin
'Til it flakes and scales
Shed my forelimbs for some fins and
Spin myself a tail
I'll chill myself, develop gills or the 
Blowhole of a whale
Then I can make some plans to 
Join all those fish in the sea

If they'll have me

The Fish Song

Recorded last spring at Bazaar Cafe in San Francisco -- spring, when a young man's fancy turns to love, unless of course he is pre-occupied with their previous winter of discontent...

Flat Again (Live At Bazaar Cafe)

I need a sugar mama to take care of me ... and if I had a sugar mama, life would be so sweet.

Slightly modified mix.

I Need a Sugar Mama

Never Quite Gone (Live)

Recorded live at the Bazaar Cafe in San Francisco, Thursday March 3rd, 2016

I've got no obligations/ nothing on my plate / I can jump the gun or be late out the gate / no need to touch base / let them keep their rat race / I'll face my isolation as something to embrace

Sett'n My Own Pace (Live)

Recorded at Live at Bazaar Cafe on March 31st, 2016

There's nothing wrong with sitting tight
And there's nothing wrong with being alright
You don't have to convince me you don't have time
You can tell me the truth if you want to try
Even if it means being honest
Even if it means being honest
Even if it means being honest

Even if it Means Being Honest (aka Distance) (Live at Bazaar Cafe)

New bottle for old wine or maybe to new wine for an old bottle, I can't tell.

Ache For Me (Voice Memo)

My love is resilient / My love will survive / My love will remain unfinished / As long as I'm alive

Unfinished Love (Voice Memo)
