(Original song recorded in one take acoustic on a Tascam X8 at Shabby Road Studios 20221112.  Me + guitar)

I met a mermaid yesterday
told me she lived under the Bay
ocean was her alma mater
so she dipped her tail back in the water

She said 
"They're talking about me
They're talking about you
They're talking me 
They're talkin' bout you
So I asked her what they're talkin' about
She just had gills so her voice was like a trout
She looked at me with the cutest grin
She said 'please allow me to fill you in'

They're talking about me
Winding up with you
They're talking about me
Leaving here with you

They're talking about me
Winding up with you
They're talking about me, and you
yabba dabba do

I said 
Who do you
Who do you think you are
Just who do you 
Who do you think you are?

Show me show me show me show me 
show me whatcha got
Show me show me show me show me 
show me whatcha got

I said I got a lot, got a lot


So I said 
Show me how you wag that tail and show me how you fight
Show me all the scary things
that keep you up at night
At night

And then she proceeded to do underwater tricks of all sorts
She’s got a lot, got a lot!

And here I am
Plastic Castle in the water
looks like i am taking Neptune's daughter
To an all night dance, at her alma mater
underwater!
Where 
They're talking about me
They're talking about you
They're talking about me
swimming here with you
They're talking about me
bubbling here with you
They're talking about me
swimming here with you
Swimming here with me

On my way back home now
On my way back home
Back home to you

They’ll talk about me
They’ll talk about you
They’ll talk about everything
How about you?

I met a mermaid yesterday

Met A Mermaid

Jackspace is a sonic voyager, a cosmic chameleon who's journeyed through the musical multiverse. From the pulse of New Wave to the frenetic energy of the rave scene, from the soulful sounds of folk music to the raw edge of punk and the dark allure of goth, Jackspace has been there, absorbing, learning, evolving. Each phase of his journey, each role he's embodied - the New Waver, the Raver, the Hippie, the Folk Musician, the Poet, the Punk, the Goth, the Seeker - has left an indelible mark on his unique sound.

His musical canvas is painted with an array of eclectic instruments, from the primal pulse of percussion, the resonant strums of the guitar, to the ancient echoes of the didgeridoo and the soulful twang of the banjo and banjolele. His love for dance - from Five Rhythms and rad tap to tango, T'ai-Chi, and belly dance - and his background in anthropology, infuse his music with a kinetic energy and a deep understanding of cultural rhythms. Jackspace isn't just a DJ, but a groove-dude, a musical storyteller guiding his listeners through a sonic landscape that is as diverse as the many paths he's walked. His music is a cosmic dance, a celebration of life's rhythms, an invitation to move, to express, and to journey into the heart of the beat.
