Third Shift Blues Baby

Collection of rough recordings most of which where done using the tape recorder on my phone.


Midnight Shift Blues

 I have been messing around with what I call the elbow mute... In which I use my elbow kind of like a palm mute, and then strum on or close to the center harmonic. This was the result. enjoy!

Third Shift Hustle

Wait for me 
wait for me
I'm coming for you now 
just wait for me

Wait for me 
wait for me
I'm coming for you now 
just wait for me

Now there's troubled time's in all of our lives
and if you can get through faster than I 
won't you wait for me on the other side
because I would wait for you

Wait for me 
wait for me
I'm coming for you now 
just wait for me

When reason and rhyme 
have all left your mind
I'll wait for you on the other side
If you wait for me 
now




Wait For Me

Maria
shes just a little kitty cat
but when she takes her kitty naps
she cuddles right up next to me
and she makes me so happy 
I'm so glad shes mine
and I can't wait 
for kitty nap time

Kitty Nap Time

I'm Going Home
I'm Going Home
all my dreams that I've seen 
have been split at the seems
all the places I went 
all my money I spent
all this time in my mind 
and I've come to find
that the Higher you climb
the harder you fall
I'm Going Home
I'm Going Home
on a plane 
on a train 
any way
I'm Going Home
with this pain 
I've sustained
on the Way
I'm Going Home
all this time in my mind 
and I've come to find
that the Higher you climb
the harder you fall


Goin Home

You've been out working all day
I've been up working all night
workin all night

but if we pass in the meantime
If we pass I hope I'll see you
I want to see you

Everybody needs there pay
in this troubled time and age
everybody needs there pay
everybody needs there pay

But workin all night takes its toll
on a weary withered soul
on this weary withered soul

You've been out working all day
I've been up working all night
workin all night

but if we pass in the meantime
If we pass I hope I'll see you
I hope I'll see you
I want to see you



I hope I see you

"We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams..."
