Seems like the words to this song might apply to lots of things for which you could have an active appetite. Could be getting your favorite dish, getting your biggest wish or, as is true with this song, getting to sing your kind of tune with a family like friend. This post is me and my multi-talented better half of our male / female duet team for this song, Mimi Gentry. It says just how I felt about singing with her, and that is "I Can't Get Enough !" Might be talking 'bout love set to music! It was recorded at Southside Tracks (2016) with the Mixed Bag Band studio unit. I hope we do another one soon.

  I Can’t Get Enough (Duet) Lyrics:
1.	Oh, I can’t get enough, Girl, I told you before
I can’t get enough, Got to have me some more 
Be your man, hold your hand, Honey can I have this dance?
Don’t mind taking a chance, Can’t get enough.
Chorus:  	Can’t get enough, I can’t get my fill
Can’t get enough, This ain’t no run of the mill romance
It’s like we won the lottery, Don’t nothing beat this stuff
Hope you feel it baby, ‘Cause I can’t get enough
Can’t get enough.
2.	I can’t get enough, There’s no doggone doubt
I can’t get enough, Makes me jump and shout
Livin’ like this, getting’ a kiss, Missing you the minute you’re gone
Ain’t going back to living alone, Can’t get enough.
Chorus:	(same as above)
Bridge:	Going back for seconds, Sticking around for thirds
I’ve got somethin’ to tell you baby, In case you haven’t heard.
3.	I can’t get enough, There’s no too much amount
I can’t get enough, Gonna start us a savings account
Put some back, big ol’ stack, Make sure we won’t run out
That’s what I’m talking about, Girl I can’t get enough.
Chorus:	(same as above)

Any Old Thing

This song has been coming together, slowly but surely, over a pretty large span of time. It began with my friend, Tray Pa, writing partner for years, sharing the hook line that the song was built on ("You Drive Me To Drinking"), first with me and then with my amigos. When the idea blossomed to use conversational like spoken lines throughout the track, my daughter Amelia Faith stepped up to become the she in the couple that this song brings to your attention, a kind of unfolding story song. It's bluegrass with a touch of blues, and my buddy Bryan on dobro to bring that touch of blues into the mix. My friend rob completes the list of co-writers, having come up with the bones of this music and by playing standup bass on this brand new, never been posted track. With all the tag like spoken lines, it's a structure that marks a first of a kind to my knowledge. We all hope you like what you hear!
Lyrics:
You Drive Me To Drinking: Amelia (A)& Pop (P) Version
1.	I’d like to curl up with my book book (A)spoken
Let’s watch something on TV (P) spoken

I don’t understand your way of thinking, but that’s okay
There’s just gonna be days, when you drive me to drinking.
2.	Let’s grab a quick bite at the café (P) spoken
I’m craving some gourmet food (A) spoken
I like the way that guy don’t play (P) spoken
Don’t ya’ think he was a little crude? (A) spoken

You Drive Me To Drinking WAV

Thanks to my friend George for our favorite picture of us, my sweetie and me down on the farm. The title suits him. The tune is a 2004 Edit of a love song that she figures into too. It's about a couple who discover each other just like we did, in our own way! My daughter, Amelia Faith, did the girl parts and did me proud!
Lyrics:
The Eye of the Beholder (Male - Female Duet) 2004 Edit
1.  Maybe no one would have said, “there goes Prince Charming”!

But just one look, and I was in a fix!

There was something about this boy, that simply was disarming

And I fell for him just like a ton of bricks!

Chorus:   Folks say “beauty’s in the eye of the beholder”

And “handsome is as handsome does”, they say

If I’d’a had the nerve I would’ve told her

And I might have brought him home right then to stay

2.  Maybe no one would have said, “there goes a beauty queen”!

But with one look, I could not get my fill!

There was something about this girl, my eyes had rarely seen

And she knocked me out like I took a knockout pill!

Chorus: (repeat as above)

Bridge:

Maybe not , maybe so / the way things go, you never know

Maybe no, maybe yes / the way it works, it’s your best guess

3.  Maybe no one would have said. “they’re a matched set just like bookends”

But on second glance, someone might have seen

And poked the person next to them and chanced to share

”There goes Mr. Prince Charming, with a knockout beauty queen”!

Chorus:   Folks say “beauty’s in the eye of the beholder”

And “handsome is as handsome does”, they say

If I’d’a had the nerve I would’ve told her

And I might have brought him home right then to stay

 Tag: I got up the nerve, and then I went and told her

        And I took him home with me that day to stay

Eye Of The Beholder Edited

Here’s a tune that Mark, Bryan, and I (a three amigos production) put together to share with you. The picture captures Mark playing guitar and singing background vocals with the band. The song is about the times we are living in, a bit of advice. We are preaching y’all! A lyrics video is in the works.
Lyrics:
A Little Too Little, (2023)

1.	Let’s not let it be said we did / A little too little too late
A  big bunch too much crooked / And a tiny bit going straight
A little too little moving off of the middle / And way too much tempting fate
Let’s not do a little too little / And wind up being too late.
Chorus 1:
A little too little / A little too not enough
A little too much half fast trying / And a little too little hanging tough
A little too little coming in late / Not enough being on time
A little too little give it all we got / And too much running behind.
2.	Let’s not say it’s all about me / And forget it’s all about us
Too much being on the right side / Not enough staying in touch
Gonna take me and you to solve this riddle / Not near enough cooperate
Let’s not be a little too much me / And winding up being too late.
Chorus 2:
A little too much me / A little too not about us
A little too little working together / Too much making a fuss
A little too much choosing sides / Not enough showing we care
Meeting in the middle / Just enough learning to share. 
Bridge:	Side by side / Hand in hand
		I might not be able / But we can!
Chorus I:

A Little Too Little

This week we did a final mix and master overhaul on this tune which has existed over time for several years and incarnations. The lyrics and participants have held steady over the entire time. A good time was had by all of us! We hope you will enjoy as much as we did!

It’s Just Me Lyrics:
1. I tried so hard to be the one, I thought you hoped to find
Somewhere in those trying times, I left myself behind
‘til I ran slap out of trying, Into who I had to be
Baby, what you see is what you get, It’s just me.
Chorus: Yeah baby it’s just me, Darlin’ can’t you see
I’m not no carbon copy, I’m who I used to be
I’m a bonified, original, Vintage, no repro fool
And baby I’ve come back to you, Ain’t that cool?
2. I tried so hard to be somebody, I thought you had in mind
But I couldn’t make that work for me, You know I’m not that kind
And baby I’m done with tryin’, here’s how it’s got to be
What you see is what you got, (do you want me or not?)
It’s just me!
Chorus: (same as above)
Bridge:
No more makeover, No slick disguise
No more undercover, No telling big fat lies
No fixer upper, No need for new paint
No more bein’ somebody, Who I ain’t.

Bridge: (same as above)
Chorus: (same as above)

It's Just Me Edited

The words for this tune were  written in 1960 while in high school, and years later my friend Merritt (pictured with me) and I ganged up on bringing it to life musically. Another buddy, Howard, dropped by to play some tasty harp as always. Bryan plays guitar, and Lucy is on keys on this edited track This 2024 edit combines elements from song incarnations over 64 years. This tune tells the story of a young man with s monster crush on his teacher. It is fictional and by no stretch confessional. Turns out he's got a bit of a smart mouth too. Take it with a grain of salt and a sense of humor as well. It's a DaddyO's classic to those of us still around. Enjoy.
Lyrics:
A Thing Or Two Edited
1. You know my teacher tol’ me, back when I was still in school
Your grades been steady slippin’, you been acting like a fool
You never get your lessons, and you won’t apply yourself
Its like you’re just daydreamin’, got your mind on somethin’ else

Bridge: But…But…
	Miss Teacher you’re so fine, and I got my mind on you
	Let’s you and me trade places, and I’ll teach you a thing or two

2.	That teacher had her mind set, and she never cracked a smile
	She handed me my folder, said its all here in your file
	You’re always in detention, or else you’re late to class
	If you never pay attention, how you think you gonna pass?

Bridge: But…But…
	Miss teacher you’re so fine, and I’m payin’ attention to you
	Let’s me and you trade places, and I’ll teach you a thing or two

3.	She knew I wasn’t listenin’, but she gave it one last try
	She got her fine self in my face, and she looked me in the eye
She said you got a good mind, but you sure ain’t thinking straight
And I hope you get the message, before its just too late

    Bridge: But…But…
	Miss teacher you’re so fine, and I sho’ been thinking ‘bout you
Let’s me and you trade places, and I’ll teach you a thing or two

      Repeat 1st Verse and Bridge (double last line of bridge)

A Thing Or Two Edited

If we are honest we have to cop to the fact that this is a "spoof" country song in search of grins and giggles. When talk about self driving cars got hot in the media, someone suggested that soon there would be a song about that. We took that as a challenge! Country seemed to be the way to go, so it had to be a truck. Hope you all enjoy where it went from there and find reason to laugh or smile.
Lyrics:
Self Driving Pickup Truck – Edited
1.	Car and driver, what’s up next 
Gonna cost me a bundle’a bucks
But there’s a lot a man could do
With a tricked out techno truck
I could drink, she’d drive, no DUIs
I could get me some girls in the back
In short cutoffs and bikini tops
Knockin’ down some shots’a Jack
Pre Chorus:	I’d be the coolest thing that you ever seen
		Ridin’ around in that thing
Chorus:	I got the first self driving pickup truck
		To roll off that factory line
TV, a bar, and Jacuzzi in the cab
Like a limo with a bed behind
Post C:	You know I couldn’t be more satisfied
		All the girls are saying, “I wanna ride!”
2.	Things went bad, must’a made her mad
Bossin’ her around and stuff
She got jealous, wanted TLC
Then one day she’d had enough
Met a mechanic who would change her oil
Keep her clean and maintained right
Shut off the GPS, so I couldn’t find her
And she ran off with him last night
Pre Chorus:	I was the coolest thing that you’d ever seen
		Ridin’ around in that thing
Chorus:	I had the first self driving pickup truck
		To roll off that factory line
TV, a bar, and Jacuzzi in the cab
Like a limo with a bed behind
Post C:	But now I see that I’m outta luck
		All the girls’re askin’ me “Where’s that truck?”
Pre Chorus:	I was the coolest thing that you’d ever seen
		Ridin’ around in that thing
Chorus:	I had the first self driving pickup truck
		And Buddy I was havin’ a ball
But soon she got her fill of me
And she found someone else to haul
Post C:	Yeah Buddy, I was havin’ a ball
		‘Til she found somebody else to haul

From 1974 when the original words were written and over time, my friendlies and family-like folks have contributed to this song. What you have here we'll just call The Mixed Bag Band doing their thing in this inclusive 2024 remix, master and edit. It's another shade tree philosophical take on how we see life as it unfolds, complete with our recommendation to Try It On For Size. You are invited to sing along! Thanks for tuning in! Enjoy!!
Lyrics:
Try It On For Size 
1.	Here’s a song / ours for the singing
And it’s ours / just for the bringing to you
Just a few lines / simple and true
Hey Mister, Hey Sister / have we got a song for you
Chorus:	And do, take what you will of it / Yeah…Yeah
		To make what you will of it / and then…
		Just for the thrill of it
                Try it on for size….
2.	Here’s a smile / ours for the grinning
It’s been ours / since the beginning of time
See the way / it lights up your face
Even after, even after / it always leaves a trace
Chorus:
Lead Break:
Chorus:
Bridge:	The dressing room, it’s all around you
		There’s a full length mirror on the wall
		Try one of them, why not try two of them
		Makes good sense to try them all
                And I heard one size fits all
Chorus:

(1974)Try It On For Size - Edited

This is our take on on what's been happening in our brains, seems like more the older we get. We figure that a sense of humor is an essential tool on the workbench that we built this song on. There is no question that grins and giggles are what we were after from the get go. We had fun and hope you do too!
Lyrics:
Stuff Come, Stuff Go- Edit
Intro:	Stuff come / stuff go / Where’d I put that thing? / I don’t know
1.	I spend half my wakin’ hours / looking for somethin’ I lost
        Did I hide it from myself somewhere / or did it jus’ get tossed?
        If it was to stay missing long enough / I wouldn’t need it no more
        But today I got to find my house key / ‘cause I can’t get in my door.
Chorus a:	Stuff come / stuff go / Where’d I put that thing? / I don’t know
                        Stuff come / stuff go / What that girl name? / Man I don’t know.
2.	Her face is so familiar / got it right on the tip of my tongue 
        I know I’ll know it later / but her name jus’ won’t come
        I guess I’ll say “Hey Baby! / I know you’re a friend of mine
        I may not know your name today / but I know you’re looking fine”!
Chorus b:   Stuff come / stuff go / What that girl name? / Man I don’t know
		    Stuff come / stuff go / Where’d I put that thing? / Y’all I don’t know
 Bridge:	Rememberin’ stuff, ain’t enough, to worry my head about
                I'm doing the best that I can do, and I;m learning to do without
 Chorus c:   Stuff come / stuff go / Where’d I put that thing? / I don’t know
                    Stuff come / stuff go / What’s my pin number / hell, I don’t know!
3.	I drove right up to the ATM / looking to get some cash
But I can’t recall my P-I-N / so I can’t get to my stash
Guess I’ll jus’ have to go inside / get in line and wait my turn
So I can get to my money / and get me some to burn.
Chorus d:	Stuff come / stuff go /  What’s my pin number / hell, I don’t    know!
		Stuff come / stuff go / Where’d I put that thing? /  man I don’t know !

Stuff Come, Stuff Go-Edited

Lyrics:
She Want Cream in Her Coffee

1. She want’ all the latest styles
    She want’ to drive a big fine car
    She want’ to live up in some high rise
    Up where all the Fat Cats are
    She want’ to eat out every day
    At some high class restaurant
    She want’ to dance the night away
    And she want’ just what she want’
Chorus:
	She want’ cream in her coffee
	She want’ sugar in her tea
	She want’ cream in her coffee
Pure cane sugar in her tea
Tryin’ to get that woman what she want’
‘bout to get the best of me
2. She want’ fancy French perfume
    Shoes come from Italy
    She want’ a full deck of credit cards
    To take out on a shopping spree
    She want’ to drink the finest wine
    She want’ to gamble with my pay
    She want’ everything that’s mine
    And she want’ it all her way
Chorus:
3. She want’ to go off with her friends
    On a long vacation trip
    Get on board and sail away
    On some big cruise liner ship
    She want’ high grade furniture
    For that penthouse where she stay’
    She want’ me to rock her all night long
    After workin’ hard all day
Chorus:

I Can't Get Enough 10-16-17
