Description: I wrote this blues song with Robert Cray's great album "Strong Persuader" in mind.

A fine blues-- I'am guilty -- love a good blues tune !!

Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

“Ironic Bill” is a story, put to song, about a fictitious homeless man forced to live in the shadows of society, and of the very government that is tasked to help those like him. A person whom “civilization” has effectively discarded.

Old Bill’s entire life is surrounded by the irony of his very existence, and by those who cannot, or will not see him as a sentient human being. One with a kind heart, a courageous soul, and a deep understanding of nature and humanity.

Any proceeds that might come from this production will be donated to helping the homeless.

Ironic Bill

I wrote this simple song as a tribute to my daughter and for all daughters. Daughters are the true continuity of the human race. I hope the lyrics have meaning for you as they do for me. By request, I am posting the lyrics:

The seasons come and the seasons go
The flowers bloom and the north winds blow
Your heart is like a river, that floods a great plain
Your wisdom is like a shower that wakes the earth again
You........     my daughter of time

Wheel of life, keep spinning round me
Lift me up, and help me to see
Your love is like an ocean without end
Your truth is like a dreamer who cannot pretend
You.......     my daughter of time

And when I die, when the north winds blow
There'll be a child to take my place
And all I thought I knew, I didn't really know
and all I know now, I see it in your face

Don't ask for promises, I cannot keep
Just take my hand, our blood it runs deep
Your eyes are like a mirror, when you stare
Your smile is like a secret, I cannot share
 You.......     my daughter of time

The seasons come and the seasons go
The flowers bloom and the north winds blow
Your love is like an ocean without end
Your truth is like a dreamer who cannot pretend
You.......     my daughter of time


Daughter Of Time (original - tribute to my daughter - w/lyrics)

A tribute to Jim Morrison I wrote as a young man in the late 80's. This was recorded at practice in '92 with the 3-piece band I was in called "Witch Teaser."

Heart's On Fire

Something about Autumn-the crisp cooling weather-skies seems clearer--shedding leaves just before the cold winter--the crops have all been harvested-- for me, it seems a little  slower and more  peaceful--natural process of nature and life--my mind feel more at ease--my body feels more relax--my favorite time of year

Fall (Favorite Time Of Year)

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - More Than Letters

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta on a Louisiana share cropper's farm.   A lot of hard work and a lot of good memories.  Those days are gone now.  Sometimes that farm feels like a long lost friend.   I can feel the wind as it blows through my hair and smell the rain as it approaches and falls on plowed ground.
