This one being inspired by a couple of guys that I've admired since the early 70's. Their lyrics and detail to production always caught my attention. A salute to Walter and Donald.

Time is getting short
Time to put it all away
not feeling such comfort
only cold and bitter days

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

Time is getting short
I’ve burned 25,000 days
I can feel your support
you take all blues away

I will always be there too
I will always hold onto you

Time is getting short
Time to put it all away
not feeling such comfort
only cold and bitter days

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

I will always be there too
I will always hold onto you

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

25,000 Days

Thanks to Mr Duke for the Wha wha clav. stems. 

Lyrics:
She kept the light on
Waited for me 
Rough road to drive on
I could hardly see

But I’ll be there
With out a care
With out care in the world

It’s our time
So let it shine
be just fine tomorrow

brought something with me
To give to her
Went on a shopping spree
It should make her purr

It's Our Time

Lyrics
As you walk to the window there’s people passing by
wonder if they’re feeling what your feeling deep inside
There’s something missing I feel like you should know
I had a good friend tell me,  many years ago

You got to move to know what it’s all about
It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.

just a matter of time before it comes your way
not always easy when, just another crowded day
Things start to happen It all falls into place
Now you're on your path to living your life filled with grace.

It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.
It’s just a matter of time feels like a dopamine rush

Dopamine Rush

Lyrics:
What about the one who said 
You’re everthing he wanted
What about the one who said
He would do anything for you

Another day another dollar
Saving up to make a move
If we get a chance to see each other
I feel there’s nothing left to prove

No one needs to tell me
About all  we’ve been through
I dropped the ball a few times
Have regrets but not because of you

As the day fades away
I know who I’ll be waiting for
As the day fades away
my feeling will grow even more

What about the one who said 
You’re everthing he wanted
What about the one who said
He would do anything for you

No one needs to tell me
About all that we’ve been through
I dropped the ball a few times
Have regrets but not beacuse of you

Lyrics
Stay with me  tonight
Won’t you hold me tight

Need to feel you Love
Fit me like a glove 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight

Hold me in your arms
Don’t give me no Harm 

Take away my Breath 
With your tenderess

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 
  
But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight  

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 

Love before all time 
Let’s say you’ll be mine   

Tell me that you’ll stay 
Till my diying day 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight

**"Gold Boulevard"**

In the city of razor tongues and neon lights,
Where laughter hides the poison and the fights,
There walks a man with wry smile upon his face,
In a sardonic friendship, no one can trace.

Sardonic friendship, a dance of deceit,
A two-step of laughter, but hearts incomplete,
Fools Gold Boulevard, where the jesters reign,
In a world of illusions, we forever remain.

Beneath the facade of witty banter and charm
Lies a twisted allegiance, doing no harm
But the cynics and jokers, they understand
The allure of Fools Gold Boulevard's hand in hand.

Sardonic friendship, a dance of deceit
A two-step of laughter, but hearts incomplete
Fools Gold Boulevard, where the jesters reign
In a world of illusions, we forever remain

Solo

Beneath the surface, beneath the veils
Lies the truth we dare not to unveil
The bond of humor, the bond of pain
In Fools Gold Boulevard, we remain

So raise a toast to the friends we pretend
In the shadows of laughter, in the echoes of the end
Fools Gold Boulevard, a timeless masquerade
In this sardonic friendship, our secrets are laid

Gold Boulevard

 Title: Silver Linings

In the pocket, in the groove
Chasing shadows, trying to prove
life's a struggle, but we'll find
The silver linings left behind

In the city, in the heat
Searching for a taste so sweet
Threads of sorrow, threads of hope
Tangled in the twisted rope

Hold on tight, don't let go
There's a light where the river flows

In the mirror, what do you see
Is there anyone you'd rather be
Keep the faith, don't lose sight
Silver linings shining bright

And the struggle, it's in the past
All the shadows, they won't last
Silver linings in the end
Worth it all, my  dear friend

Hold on tight, don't let go
There's a light where the river flows

SOLO

And the struggle, it's in the past
All the shadows, they won't last
Silver linings in the end
Worth it all, my  dear friend

Hold on tight, don't let go
There's a light where the river flows
Hold on tight, don't let go
There's a light where the river flows

Silver Lining

Time whispers softly, through the cracks of our days
 In the laughter and the heartbeats, we find our way 

 Each moment like a treasure, shining in the light,
Shadows dance around us, reminding us of night

 Every tear every smile, a sweet symphony
 In the bittersweet embrace of you and me

 Let’s savor every heartbeat, let’s dance in the rain
 In the midst of this perfection, I will bear the pain

 For each moment though it’s fleeting, holds promise of our flame
 In the bittersweet together, forever we’ll remain.

Every tear every smile, a sweet symphony 
In the bittersweet embrace of you and me

Every Tear Every Smile

Lyrics:

This day started like any other
Till Zillow hit me in the face
My mind was jumping all around
Is it time that we leave this place?
I’ve kept busy doing what I do
Trying to finish what I start
thing’s change and move so fast
It’s not right to be so far apart

It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing

If the humming birds fly in our backyard
and the cool breeze blows real nice
All will be the way it was 
Before we rolled the dice
Ever changing as each day comes
taking count of what it’s all about
Not always easy to navigate though
but making sure there is no doubt

It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing
It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing
It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing

Out Of Sight

Lyrics: Till It's Gone

I was young and full of fire, 
never thought I'd ever tire
Didn’t know the time would fly
and leave me wondering why
Now that I’m old and all alone
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone 

I chased the dollar every day
didn’t take the time to play
With my kids, my wife, my kin
now I see where I’ve been
They’re all grown and far away
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone

I’ve lived life through highs and lows
Seen love and loss in equal rows
Don’t let regret become your song
Hold tight to joy before it’s done
But now I know what matters most 
You don’t know what you have till it’s gone

So hear me now while you’re young
don’t let your life be unsung
Cherish every moment bright
hold your loved ones really tight
For one day you’ll look back and see
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone, Yeah


Till it's Gone

Adjusting your view on aging as you enter the twilight years of life.

Lyrics:
Every morning shines, learning to dance with time 

I used to burn like a neon sign, chasing shadows through the night
Now the fuse is short, the spark’s gone dim, but the memories still shine bright
You won’t believe it, I’ll tell you now, once there was a time 
The road was long, but I’m grateful now, for the miles and the winding rhyme

Every morning shines, learning to dance with time

The clock ticks slow, I just let go, I’m learning to let it be
Every move I make, every breath I take, and I’m finally free
You’d hardly recognize me, I’ll confess, there was a day
The climb was steep, but I’m wiser now, for the heights and the price I pay

Every morning shines, learning to dance with time

Dance With Time

Featuring: Derek Cornett adding a fab guitar solo.

Lyrics:

Back when the days stretched slow and wide,
Barefoot dreams by the riverside,
Laughter danced on a softer breeze,
No weight, no rush, just you and I.

The world was small, the colors bright,
Love was a spark in the velvet night,
We lost that rhythm, but it’s not gone,
I hear it hum in a faded song.

Oh, we could find it, that sweet, slow tune,
Under the glow of a harvest moon,
Simple and wild, like it used to be,
A little bit of you, a little bit of me.

No screens to steal the hours away,
Just tangled hands and a summer day,
The drama slept, the noise was thin,
No weight, no rush, just you and I.

Maybe it’s waiting, just out of sight,
A spark to chase through the restless night,
We’ll strip it down, let the chaos fade,
Build it back with the plans we made.

Oh, we could find it, that sweet, slow tune,
Under the glow of a harvest moon,
Simple and wild, like it used to be,
A little bit of you, a little bit of me.

We Could Find It

This new one I hope makes you want to stand up and move a bit, at the very least tap your feet. Many thanks to the gracious Derek Cornett for providing a few guitar tracks that give it some soul. I also would like to thank Chris Yochens for great B3 part that inspired the whole song.

Lyrics

Steppin out this morning  summer is here
Dragon fly zippin by in high gear
Days like these wrapped up in solitude 
Enjoy  the  time there is     with gratitude

I know, There will be sunshine falling
I know, letting go of bad things calling

New way to deal with the summertime blues
Gather your things you have nothing to lose
We’ll find adventures no matter where we go
Kick back this evening    and let it flow

I know, There will be sunshine falling
You know, That I will be calling
I know, There will be sunshine falling
You know, that summer breeze is calling

Steppin out this morning  summer is here
Dragon fly zippin by in high gear
Days like these wrapped up in solitude 
Enjoy  the  time there is     with gratitude

I know, There will be sunshine falling
You know, That I will be calling
I know, There will be sunshine falling
You know, that summer breeze is calling

Sunshine Falling

As we find our new paths and move forward in this changing world we should also reflect on being grateful for what we have. "Slow down and take it in".

NO MESSAGES ABOUT PROMOTIONS PLEASE!!!

Independent artist, writer, producer


I started playing gigs in 1968,  I believe I was in the eight grade. It was only junior high school dances but at the time, it was electrifying. In 1964, I remember watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" and seeing the Beatles perform live and they pretty much jump started my interest in music, Long hair, guitars and Beatle boots, very cool, still cool. I have always enjoyed good harmony parts and George's slide work has always inspired me. Over the years like so many others, I’ve played concerts, night clubs, special events, coffee houses, bars and such. Also toured the U.S. in 76. Now it's all about writing, recording, having some fun and being a part of the Sound Cloud community. Yeah man! 
Debut Album called “ Seafoam” released 2018 at Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.


Some of my fav producers would be Gary Katz, Jeff Lynne, Sir George Martin, Eddie Kramer and Mark Hudson. As far as guitar players, great hooks from Keith Richards, best tone Eric Clapton, best feel SRV! Best slide guitar George Harrison, Sonny Landreth, Derek Trucks and Ry Cooder. Most creative exploration Eric Johnson. The most original and always inspiring the GOAT Mr. Jeff Beck, he is amazing. Walter Becker had the cool factor and the Mu chords as well as wrote such interesting lyrics.
