I once went horse riding not far from the Canadian border in Washington State. Cowboy hat, chaps, the lot. The guy in front yanked his horse's reins when it started to eat grass, causing it to kick backwards hitting my horse... which set off at a gallop. Yee ha! Unfortunately, the expedition leader was cross, accusing me of showing off! Nevertheless, it was exhilarating. 

All the guitar parts were played on a Duesenberg Paloma

To our ancestors, the cross-quarter time between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox marked the cosmic beginning of spring. They innately understood how the season was created and timed by the earth's elliptical journey around the sun. They called this phenomenon Imbolg (also Imbolc), deriving from an older vernacular of Irish (Gaelic) it refers to "in the belly", a reference to the swollen bellies of ewes with lambs soon to be born.

Reworked version of "Glitchout", 

lyrics:

Were you someone, I have to be asking
grew up serene, away from the struggle
and strife now presented that never did touch you
but words of deception that make you believe
that the world was on fire, injustice abound
right at your doorstep to take all your freedom?
but just close your eyes, there was never a real threat
other than the ones of split tongues and venom!

wired up, side on break the violence
fired up, ride on, hear the silence

tell me again who you were once ago
when the future was open and dreams were allowed
think of exactly who told you the difference
between cats and dogs and the hits that were misses?

the tales that were spun on a landfill of gaps:
all cognitive bias we need to unlearn!
projection, reflections, deflections, the point is
we all want our freedom and peace with the world

wired up, side on break the violence
fired up, ride on, hear the silence

Glitchout (wokey wokey version)

Another fun one with my longtime collaborator @enigmacurry !

You get on the internet and you initiate a chat
You  might think you're talking to a dog but its actually a cat
You strike up a conversation with someone who seems real nice
But when you're surfing on the internet you're rolling the dice

You just who you're dealing with on the internet 
You try to be skeptical but it's easy to forget

It used to be if you wanted to con somebody you had to get out of your chair, but now you can do it from the comfort of home while you sit in your underwear

A window pops up on your screen, there's a prize , it says you've been selected, so you click on the link and your computer gets infected
You get a fake email from your bank asking you to update your account
And when you log in the next day your balance shows a zero amount

You just who you're dealing with on the internet 
You try to be skeptical but it's easy to forget

It used to be if you wanted to con somebody you had to get out of your chair, but now you can do it from the comfort of home while you sit in your underwear

People giving all sorts of questionable  advice about how you can eliminate bedbugs, acne and lice.
If you're bald as a cueball, don't worry, they can regrow your hair
but when it comes to the internet it's buyer beware.

The internet can be a crazy place, for all you know you could be chatting with an alien from outer space.
There could be an alien ship on the dark side of the moon
Trying to steal your credit card so they can get an amazon prime order soon

You just who you're dealing with on the internet
You try to be skeptical but it's easy to forget

You just who you're dealing with on the internet 
You try to be skeptical but it's easy to forget

You Just Don't Know

       This song I wrote back in 2000 and it's another one of the first songs Charle and I recorded together. Written during my bachelor mid-life crisis phase when I was in between marriages. Needless to say I was feeling alone and blue during that time but even worse than that, I was bluer than blue!? So that made me Blue Blue! I rocked out on this one a bit in the solos and Charlie sang it very well, I double-tracked his voice, and I think Charlie played some harmonica on this one too! I had my old recorder so please forgive the quality. The video is brand new, I put it together last month and played around with colors and strobes, so be careful if strobing effects bother you. The video will drop on March 1st.

 I like my lyrics here, they are very simple but to the point and I think it sounds ok. It's actually a very fast uplifting song with a kind of anxious lyrics behind it, so whenever you're blue just remember that I used to be Blue Blue! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼  

“BLUE, BLUE"

MAYBE I’M PARANOID OR A LITTLE BIT OFF TRACK,   
CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE,   
IF YOU’RE EVER COMING BACK,

I KNOW IT’S FOOLISH AND IT MAY SEEM IMMATURE,   
BUT THIS FEELIN’ OF EMPTINESS,  
FILLS ME EACH TIME THAT YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR,
         
I’M BLUE, BLUE,          
AS THE SKY IS, 
BLUE, BLUE,             
AS THE OCEAN,         
BLUE, BLUE,         
WHAT I’M FEELIN’ EVERY SECOND I’M WITHOUT YOU,
      
I KNOW I’M CRAZY WITH A THOUGHTLESS JEALOUS HEART,             
AND I TEND TO OVERREACT,   
WHEN YOU DON’T CALL AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE,   

MAYBE I’M INSECURE AND IT HURTS ME WHEN YOU’RE GONE,     
BUT ALL I DO KNOW FOR SURE,               
IS THAT WITHOUT YOU THERE’S NO NEED IN GOING ON, 
   
I’M BLUE, BLUE,         
AS THE SKY IS, 
BLUE, BLUE,         
AS THE OCEAN,        
BLUE, BLUE,         
WHAT I’M FEELIN’ EVERY SECOND I’M WITHOUT YOU,
I'M BLUE.

Verse 1

Out in West Texas where the oil rigs shine,
Billy Bob’s wranglin’ fortunes, tryin’ to make ‘em mine.
Deals in the dirt, secrets in the sand,
It’s a wild ol’ world when you’re a Landman.

Chorus

🎶 Pump it up, drill it down,
Cowboy boots in a boomtown.
Money’s flowin’, tempers too,
Singin’ them ol’ Landman Blues.
Yeehaw, strike it rich or bust,
In Sheridan’s world, it’s oil or dust! 🎶

Verse 2

Tommy Norris got a plan, but it’s half a mess,
Cami’s countin’ dollars while he’s countin’ stress.
Deals with drug lords, lawyers, and kin,
Lord knows the trouble that oil brings in.

Chorus (repeat)

🎶 Pump it up, drill it down,
Cowboy boots in a boomtown.
Money’s flowin’, tempers too,
Singin’ them ol’ Landman Blues.
Yeehaw, strike it rich or bust,
In Sheridan’s world, it’s oil or dust! 🎶

Bridge (funny twist)

Well the rigs keep spinnin’, the whiskey keeps pourin’,
Contracts signed while the roosters are snorin’.
If you’re lookin’ for love, or just a quick buck,
Better bring a lawyer and a whole lotta luck!

Final Chorus (amped up)

🎶 Pump it up, drill it down,
Cowboy boots in a boomtown.
Secrets rise like oil from the ground,
Landman’s the wildest show around!
Yeehaw, strike it rich or bust,
In Sheridan’s world, it’s oil or dust! 🎶
