A song I wrote about homelessness, it won honorable mention in a John Lennon songwriting competition. Jack Laux came up with an amazing bass line for it, Clark Holloway always rocked the drums!

Jim Morrison's poem from the album "An American Prayer"

Lyrics:
Me and my -ah- mother and father - and a 
grandmother and a grandfather - were driving through 
the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian 
workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't 
know what happened - but there were Indians scattered 
all over the highway, bleeding to death. 

So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time 
I tasted fear. I musta' been about four - like a child is 
like a flower, his head is just floating in the 
breeze, man. 
The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking 
back - is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead 
Indians...maybe one or two of 'em...were just 
running around freaking out, and just leaped into my 
soul. And they're still in there.

This is my musical notepad and most of these are works in progress. I'm a guitarist|bassist|composer. I've been a home recording enthusiast for 30 years, writing & producing my own original instrumental guitar music & a few other projects and oddities for others. All that follows is entirely my fault unless otherwise noted.
