je suppose que vous appréciez beaucoup Tony Joe White

I'd have enjoyed hearing you live. This recording is, in fact, very live. Nice guitar, by the way!

Bit of Chicago Blues..... love me some acoustic blues as well 😎🎸🎵🎶

This is a really beautiful track, Bill! Well done!🤗👏🏻

🎵 My dear friend Bill, what a brilliant piece of barroom storytelling! Your guitar technique with that heavy picking hand creates such perfect bluesy texture ✨ Love how you capture that bittersweet comfort of drowning sorrows with a sympathetic bartender 🎸 Your vocals carry just the right mix of humor and melancholy 💫 The way you build the story verse by verse is masterful storytelling 🌟 That line about "drinking yourself deeper into your chair" hits so true ❤️ Pure folk wisdom wrapped in beautiful blues therapy! 🎵

Greetings my SC friends. Happy October to all of you. :)

Every once in a while I hear something that stops me in my tracks… and I have a new one I would love to share with you today. This was heard by my youngest daughter, in a recent college class… ‘Happy People Aren’t Good Consumers.’

Now that statement deserves some serious pondering. There’s a whole lot of truths hidden within those folds.

At least one thing it suggests is happy people aren’t as reliant on goods and services in order to be happy. Like being good on the inside makes them need less validation from the outside… or some such nonsense.

So I guess the opposite of that would be those of us who are compulsively shopping in order to find happiness; whether it’s for the pacification of fear and depression, or just alleviating simple boredom. 

Which is unfortunate… because this life is a blessing. It is an amazing gift to have access to the bounties of this planet. We are here at a time when there is endless opportunity… and yet so many of us are either overwhelmed or bored… or even worse… both. 

What part of me is so limited in its perspective that I can’t see the awesome gift lying in front of me? What part of me can’t be happy until I own the newest smart phone? Or won’t feel safe until I’ve purchased insurance (or at least an extended warranty) on every aspect of my life? How did I come to need all these monthly subscriptions to software and entertainment and services… and ideas? 

The answer is… the part of me that fell for all the conditioning society wanted me to believe. 

But that whole weird structure isn’t looking so sane anymore. It’s like in The Wizard of Oz. We all saw behind the curtain (probably during COVID). And now the mastermind is desperately trying to get us back under control… get us back to believing in the illusion.

And the weirdest bit… rather than trying to return itself to a sustainable state that could have lulled us back to sleep…. the whole system seems to be doubling down on everything, and aggressively moving forward. Like we’re just being whiney about wanting a life worth living, opportunities for growth, affordable housing and reasonable health care; to know that every soul is priceless, regardless of the package… oh, and while we’re at it… could we also ask for a promising looking future?

Instead, we stand astounded, watching the opposite unfold. 

And maybe it’s time we got out of its way…

As scary as that may sound… it appears to be the likely trajectory anyway. We may have even reached the point of no return. And this is actually merciful for all of us. The future is uncertain. But I think we're in for quite a few cool and exciting surprises, appearing alongside those darker moments (perhaps even helping us out of them). 

And now that we’ve seen behind the curtain, we don’t have to play our part in the unnecessary (and even destructive) bits. We can take stock of what we do that supports our growth and happiness; and also the choices we make, designed to appease our fears… and wisely shift our habits based on our findings. Money truly is one of the super powers belonging to us 99%. But it may take a million of us concentrating on levitating the same rock at the same time, in order to move that rock. Consumerism is rather weak at the molecular level.

But what if we only support the things that support a healthy future, and we abandon the things that only serve themselves. And through the power of millions, we start to sculpt the future we want… while the old paradigm pushes itself further into the abyss. Let’s all be bad consumers; and see where that takes us, for a change. :)

I hope you enjoy my new song, ‘The Bad Consumers’.

DL on SC :)

A LITTLE BIT OF P J IN THAT FUNK

smell a little bit of P J in that funk
smell a little bit of P J in that funk

beat the block back down
took my share of lumps
still look at your pics
when I’m in the dumps

you chewin bubble gum
your job gave you new braces
I like your etnies 
and your funky fat laces

new album paid for
on the call with trump and musk
I just want em to come down here
and clean this bus

I got the sugar
you got the cinammon plus
pour the petrol
get the gasoline and pay gus

on the lift
on the elevator took a piss
got the fourteen foot tree
ahead of christmas

you smelt her sandy
I asked you if the whiff was candy
I got the gilf on crush
I keep it sanitary

I got the fan glove
tell me if it’s fan love
two thousand twenty
dolphins and a turtleback dove

no no amigo these photo
copies outta kinko
I got the maple syrup
and the pretty girl lingo

capital critters I think they 
sold the highest bidders
keep the winners snatch the
gold and hunt down those quitters


harem scarem
I know just what to tell em
when I’m grippon on the mic
and injecting all the serum

knock out a tooth break your 
arm and call you smelly kelly
yellowbelly     you go softer
than the teletubbies

diddy blowin you up
on the speaker phone
- one party and you 
never ever got home

all alone and you’re still
the same fat kid
- use that shotty
for the reason that you bought it

Robot Detour (Mirror World Theme)

The Good Fairy (2024)

This song is purely fictional... ( Thats a lie ...Sue is Real). Drinking does not solve anything.. ( That's also a lie...  what about thirst? ) 
This is a song written a while back. Strangely I never played it too much live .... it would have fit snugly into any bar gig setlist.

This is mostly right hand... technique?...  more like habit. The heavy picking hand with the pinching and what not

Simple blues therapy...

And shes working for me.. and Im tippin a few
And she knows that im blue and im drinking till two
And the memory fades when your drinking
and the pain goes away at the end of the day
With the help of the lady bartender

And theres one for you and theres one for me
there goes another one down why stop at three
and the day goes down smooth when you're drinking
and the pain goes away at the end of the day
with kind words from the lady bartender

and youre starin a hole in your memory there
and youre drinking yourself deeper into your chair
and you wrong all the wrongs when youre drinking
and the pain goes away at the end of the day
when youre drinking with sue the bartender

No AI. None at all. Hello!   If I was good enough, something would have happened by now…maybe it  did and I just didn’t pay attention. Maybe I’m in the midst of something.

I’m primarily a Songwriter and play and sing too. 

I used to  perform with various talented artists. Im now returning to writing and recording.  Theres some evidence of this…

Theres always someone new to hear . 


Thanks for listening and providing inspiration via your own beautiful art.

email :   liggettservices@gmail.com

Side Note :  My goal here is to upload my catalog to date... thats something ….right?

I am humbled by your kind and generous spirit and your willingness to share it.

I’ve been ignored by some really talented people.. it is my claim to fame.
