Lyrics:

Wait for your turn
I've been here for days
Torn pages burn
Blown by the wind
But return

Cause we've lost our way
Thoughts fade away
Stars fill your eyes
Snow falls from the skies

Low Down:

Pack your conscience into artificial skin
Run the program for your life
On high desert mesas the Mescaline kicked in
Peeled the blinders from our eyes
Riding West on titanium knees
Fresh water abound

The greed it came
The conscience went
With choices on the side
We're all victims here of consequence
and low down dirty lies
Stuck in the eye of the hurricane
We're all twisted up inside
We're just walking in circles for the rest of our lives
There's no chance for us to survive

Low Down

I wrote this today about the Oakland ghost ship fire, that took at this point some 36 confirmed lives. This district I came up in, still have our recording studio in. Its a live work community of cool ass folks trying to make life a little closer to art then reality. Me and my folks threw tons of parties and we just lucky and blessed very few people ever got hurt. What happened this weekend really hit me hard. I hope that we can learn something and find some comfort in the love that we have for each other. We all have so little time, and to me it is especially tragic when young people are lost.

@Phil-McWalter: Jack of All Trades...

A perfectly good guitar has no songs in it
unless you rub it with alcohol fire ‘gainst the edge of the night
Oh you'll get no sleep, you'll get no rest, once you've woken it up...
We'll hear you cry with pain
But once your hands are bloody and the thing is plugged into your heart
you'll never sleep again 
and the morning
and the morning brings no peace
You just have to play

Play on…

Well only love 
Slows down the song
It’s only love

Play on...

A perfectly good guitar has no songs in it and it's plugged into your heart... play on!

A Perfectly Good Guitar Has No Songs In It

A PERFECTLY GOOD GUITAR HAS NO SONGS IN IT

This is a demo I wrote years ago and I what remember most about it is that it was so real to me.  I tracked this with the intent of giving the bass line a subtle percussive touch and the guitars were lo fi'd because I wanted to facilitate an intimate setting with more focus on the lyrics.  I'm so touched by all the love I've received.  So this is my thank you~  Hopefully I'll find a way to write something I truly believe in again.

Calling Me Away

[update - November 6, 2017 - sorry that this track is no longer downloadable due to SC limitations at my membership level -- DM me if you'd like a dowload and I'll get it to you] Originally posted in honor of the centennial of the birth of Woody Guthrie, one of his most compelling topical songs. He wrote the lyrics, but the chords and melody are open to interpretation. I'm playing a Martin D28 for the strumming, accompanied by a Spanish classical guitar, and a vintage National 1145 for the slide part...and a really cheap student model acoustic accordion. [updated mix September 30, 2013]

This version includes all the verses. All the words are necessary to tell the story, well, that's how I feel.
