[A1]
Maybe tomorrow 
This ocean will be blue again
Ripples will be glistening 
Sailors will be whistling
And my heart will shine like new again

[A2]
Maybe tomorrow
The heavens won’t be looking forsaken
No more clouds of sadness
Just yellow rays of gladness 
To heal me and help hope awaken

[B]
Yesterday overflowed with laughter
You were there 
Smiles were everywhere
But now today, the sea I sail is lonely
And my heart longs for repair

[A3]
Maybe tomorrow
I will understand my role in our story
If I can figure out my karma
Then maybe I will know
Maybe tomorrow

[INTERLUDE]

[B]
Yesterday overflowed with laughter
You were there 
Smiles were everywhere
But now today, the sea I sail is lonely
And my heart longs for repair

[A3]
Maybe tomorrow
I will understand my role in our story
If I can figure out my karma
Then maybe I will know
Maybe tomorrow

[Tag]
When I figure out my karma
Then maybe I will know
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow

Maybe Tomorrow

A Lovers Dance

The two of you are dating and inseparable.  But after awhile you drift apart and split up.  Each goes their own way, both feeling happy but sometimes sad. They end up missing each other and get back together.

The piano track is from EZKeys2. The drums and bass tracks are from Band-in-a-Box using my sound sources. Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the Swam tenor sax and flute.


A Lovers Dance

Sabado Soleado

Circa the late 1960's.
Place, the jazz lounge at the Holiday Inn
Band, Mario and His Mystical Merry Music Makers

I did this just for the fun of it.

I am playing my Jay Turser Jazz box guitar and via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam Tenor Sax.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks using my sound sources.

Grooving at the Holiday Inn

Hi Folks,

Here's my latest blues song "Mister Slide". This was inspired by the lovely slide playing of the Dobro and National master guitarist Rob Ickes from Nashville. Tennessee. He has won twenty three International Bluegrass Music Awards, including winning Resophonic Guitar Player of the Year fifteen times. While he predominantly plays in Bluegrass style his blues and Jazz playing is also first class as you will hear on this song.

Mister Slide

Polly plays piano down at Miller’s Lake
An old folks home, they tap their feet to stay awake
She serves them homemade brownies every time she breaks
And someone aways wants for two
All the aides adore Miss Polly, ain’t she sweet
She plays her lullabies and sings old souls to sleep
She’s a killer

Jackie works from nine to five down at the docks
Listens to Mozart when he doesn’t wanna rock
Plays with kids on Sundays all around the block
Hey, don’t you know they think he’s cool
He’s got a laugh that makes you wonder how you cry
The neighbors think he’s such an ordinary guy
But he’s a killer

Billy’s just another bully’s little bitch
He’s scores the grades but bullies don’t think much of it 
They keep on ragging him they’re gonna find real quick
Don’t take much to learn you’re schooled
He’s got a smile that makes them think he’ll acquiesce
But push that mile, they’ll understand what they don’t yet
He’s a killer

Twilight Screening

This song was written while watching a video that Joliz shot from inside a car going through a car wash. There was just something very inspiring and contemplative about this 2 minute trip.

Video included here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqi_xf16f0M]Video

I rolled into a car wash
In a flood of soap and rain
A self-contained storm
Where the outcome is the same

Steam on the windshield
A ghost in the glass
Held an unlit cigarette
Saw the present and the past

The radio was static
Some broken English song
The DJ said “this is Berlin” 
But I knew he got it wrong

You left me in Kreuzberg
With your paintings and your gin
You said “love's a revolution”
But you never let me in

I stayed too long at Kottbusser Tor
Thinking you'd come down
In your fashion army coat
Like a queen without a crown

Neon bleeds on cobblestones
Your name in every drip
I saw your shadow on a bar stool
And a guy with a crooked lip

Now the soap’s all in the gutters
And the world comes back in grey
This city’s got a talent
For fading things away

The glass is clean on this old wreck
It’s time to retreat
And somewhere past the Fernsehturm  
The silence fills your seat
