My old mac  dieth a death so here's a bit of a kitchen table bash around .   My fingers are not what they were so i play what i can find.  someday I'll probably wind up bashing out a beat with my head on the refrigerator and singing along. I hope you are all well. If you're dead you'll obviously know it's nothing to worry about...                                I woke up this morning or at least I think that I did...I found my medication and I wrestled with the lid....my bathroom mirror is telling me that I'm not half the man I used to be.....

. I've got a hole in my gut I'm really feeling my age, I'm paying the price for my wicked little ways, I was out last night with a woman from the moon, she says that better days are coming and they're coming soon but I ain't half the man I used to be.

Half the Man. ( Stevek )

This is an oldie of mine that languished on my personal page for years, suffering from a poor recording job and ignorant production (both among my common maladies prior to meeting Nat). I asked Nat if she could help me produce my original recording to improve sound quality and timing issues and she came to the rescue. Despite some egregious issues on my old tracks she generally synced it up, replaced my pathetic bass playing and added some sharp vocal harmonies. Along with some general EQ adjustments it has a new face and I’m much happier with it. I wanted to post it as Daniels & Durgy to recognize Nat’s tremendous contribution. The song laments a duplicitous lover and expresses some notable bitterness.

Craig Durgy: electric guitar, banjo, steel guitar, mandolin & vocals
Nat Daniels: standup bass & vocals (and production using old tracks)

Lyrics:
She told me, yes she told me lies
Yes, she sold me, on the truth love buys
Yeah, she told me lies, and I cried.

Yes, she told me, she would die for me
When she’d hold me, clearly I could see
We were meant to be

Cause, she told me, that she knew my heart
Heart and soul she, said we’d never part
But now, she’s gone away
Somehow, there’s nothing left to say

Cause she told me, oh, she told me lies
Yes, she sold me, on the truth love buys
Oh, she told me lies, of the crooked truth love buys, and I wonder why

Why she showed me, her most private pain
Love was holy, but she just stopped praying
And now, she’s gone away
Somehow, there’s nothing left to say

Cause she told me, oh she told me lies
Yes, she sold me, on the truth love buys
Oh, she told me lies, just a love disguise
The crooked truth love buys, and I wonder why

This is the story of an elderly gentleman who succumbed to the charms of a beautiful young woman and was only used by her for her own ends.

S U G A R   D A D D Y

Such a big disappointment
I feel like I´m being used
as I´m sitting here in silence
just hurt and so confused

I wasn´t     much more than     your stepping stone
a stupid     sugar daddy     who paid it all alone

you made me     think we were     more than just friends
you took all     that I had     every song, every cent

INTRO

Such a great enchantment
your voice can make tough men cry
once you get the attention
your beauty blinds the guys

BRIDGE    ohohoho

CHORUS

INTRO

Such a huge illusion
all the promises you broke
among all guys you´ve been foolin'
I was just another bloke

BRIDGE   ohoho

Everything Must Go

Sugar Daddy  (Bye-Bye Paris Girl)

PERMISSION

Hymn For Humanity

SHE BLOWS HER OWN WIND
SHE CARVES HER OWN FATE
SHE’S A SELF-MADE CRAFTSWOMAN OF HER LIFE

SHE FLIES HER OWN WINGS
AND FEEDS HER OWN PLATE
SOMETIMES HER WORDS CUT LIKE A KNIFE 

SHE HAS BEEN AROUND
AND YET REMAINS BOUND
ANYWHERE NEW CAN BE FOUND

NEW YORK NEW YORK
KRISTINA WHY NOT
THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER YOU ROCK

A JUMP ON THE SIDE
A WALK IN THE WILD
WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL BE YOUR NEXT RIDE
IT’S ALL WIDE OPEN

SHE FLOWS WITH THE WIND
AND SWIMS IN THE COLD
SHE KNOWS HOW TO TAKE BY THE HAND

AND ALL THAT SHE GIVES
IS ALL THAT SHE’S GOT
A HEART OF GOLD AND OPEN ARMS
IT’S ALL WIDE OPEN

HER BODY’S GOT SOUL A YOGI I’M TOLD
THIS WAY SHE MIGHT NEVER GROW OLD

IT TAKES QUITE A STAR TO BE WHAT TOU ARE
FROM NICE TO LOU REED AT THE BAR
IT’S ALL WIDE OPEN
I MEAN WIDE WIDE OPEN


HERE SHE COMES THERE SHE GOES
WHAT WILL BE THE NEXT MOVE NOBODY KNOWS

WIDE OPEN - short version (Lyrics) song for Kristina

This is the next in a line of heavy dub songs that Tez and I are releasing. We, or rather Tez, figured out how to create really authentic riddims. So now, it's a bonanza! I really like working with Tez. He's very capable and has excellent musical taste. He is also a certified wizard on the mixing deck. In this song, you'll hear me play bass and organ. You'll hear him play guitar and like I said, the riddim. He also produced it as mixed it. We hope you like it! 

Wurlitzer Dub (with Llanpsych)

Hypnosis In Reverse

Isn't it funny how things are changing? Isn’t it sad how they stay the same.
Some folks stay busy rearranging. Some play the game.
I know you just want what’s best for your family.
Everybody else just wants that too.
Maybe at the end of the day all that really matters is not so much what you do,
Or who you do it to, it’s why you do what you do.

If love is not the answer, do you even know what the question is?
If I know my brother has my back, he can surely know that I have his.
If there’s gonna be tomorrow, better be taking care of today.
‘Cause there’s only so much sorrow that can be washed away.

In a perfect world we could just do our own thing.
But we know perfection don't live ‘round here
Start singing the song, let the world hear you singing. Love live’s ‘round here.
And when you come around to the chorus, sing it,
Hum along if you don’t know the words.
Maybe you can even add a little harmony. Set your spirit free.
Sing along with me. Sing in harmony.

If love is not the answer, do you even know what the question is?
If I know my brother has my back, he can surely know that I have his.
If there’s gonna be tomorrow, better be taking care of today.
‘Cause there’s only so much sorrow that can be washed away.

Every time you turn your back on someone in need, a little piece of you slowly dies.
Yes, I realize you will not always succeed, but at least you’ll know you tried.

If love is not the answer, do you even know what the question is?
If I know my brother has my back, he can surely know that I have his.
If there’s gonna be tomorrow, better be taking care of today.
‘Cause there’s only so much sorrow that can be washed away.
