working on it

There’s a chicken wing restaurant near where I live that on Saturdays I often go to 

After cutting the grass and 
Wacking the weeds
Any  trimming any bushes unruly 

After several months if you sit in the same place the waitresses all get to know you 

And I always sit down 
in young Deborah’s section, 
she’s got a crush on yours truly

She really enjoys all the stories I tell and she laughs at my hilarious jokes 

She always makes sure I have plenty of ketchup, she doesn’t do that for the rest of these folks

Men, don’t fall in love with your waitress 
Being nice to you is part of her job 
Sure, she laughs at your jokes but she laughs at the jokes 
Of every Tom, Dick and Harry or Bob

One Saturday I’m sitting in my usual spot, but Debbie didn’t show for her shift 

And I’m thinking My god, 
what on earth could be wrong 
If I had her address then I could save her

And so I lied and told her manager that Debbie had called me and asked if I could give her a lift 

 He gave me her address 
On a cocktail napkin
And I thanked the man for doing me this favor! 

And I imagined when she saw me I would be her handsome hero and she’d plant on me a passionate kiss 

She’d say “leave your stupid, fat cow wife, she doesn’t love you, marry me instead and we’ll have marital bliss” 

Men, don’t fall in love with the waitress 
You’re not her white knight on a giant white galloping steed 
You’re just another guy who got the cheeseburger combo 
And an appetizer he didn’t need

So I drove up to her trailer and knocked softly on her screen 
And this 6 foot four gorilla came to greet me. 
He had perhaps the largest biceps I had ever seen 
And his fists were more than big enough to beat me. 

I said, “ I was sent to check on Debbie, make sure she’s okay 
Debbie then appeared engulfed in sadness 
She said, “wait a second, I know you, you’re there each Saturday. 
Why the hell did they give you my address?   

I said, “listen, I just wanted to make sure you were alright 
We’ve become so close I care about you deeply 
She said, “I just serve you chicken wings, what gives you the right! 
Get the hell off of my porch, you’re fucking creepy!  

So I got back in my car and I drove quickly away, for a moment there I feared for my life 

I knew that I had overstepped 
Her personal boundary 
And I could never sit again in Debbies section 

I thought from now on that after finishing the lawn, I should have a couple beers with my wife. 

We’re old and fat with two grown kids 
But just like Darwin said 
You have to trust in natural selection 

Men, don’t fall in love with your waitress 
On your personal reality try to keep a  very firm grip 
You’ve got a mortgage, a fat wife and four kids who need you 
So pay the check and leave a generous tip

Drowning Heaven

Dedicated to some folks in my life who've picked me up along the way, especially through music...

This is one I'm pretty proud of.  Oddly, it's the first time I’ve written a full original song with me singing my own lyrics. I'm joined by the uber talented @TexMex-Shaman, who is wielding the lead electric guitar starting at the first verse through to the end. (this is the second time now where my vocal melody is partly inspired by his magical playing!) He also lends his mastering skillz to great effect here. Thanks TMS for truly bringing this to life with your playing! 
All other instruments are played by me on the keyboard - acoustic guitar, bass, organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, 2nd electric guitar (the higher one in verse 2), horns, drums & percussion, words and voice. The chorus is supposed to sound like a 60's soul song, like Marvin Gaye meets Van Morrison. If you play this more than once I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'll be stuck with it in your head all day.  :)

This one's a personal one for me, so thanks for listening, and for picking us up with your music!

LYRICS: 

Verse 1
alone in the corner, that old six string whispers to me
ah but when daddy played, he could set your spirit free 
like the drops in the rain, or a forest tall and green
there's music alive all around
and mamma she told me, you must listen for more than the sound
and hear with your heart

Chorus     
(And then she’d) 
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up,  
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up, 
pick me up higher 

Verse 2
Now I’m writing my own song… makin’ music with old friends and new
But the joy of my days, are my beautiful daughter and you
And when you play that song, she would close her eyes and sway
all the while as she sings
And man when I hear her, whispered memories they lift me up still
like a bird on the wind

Chorus

! CAN´T FOLLOW BACK anymore due to SC following limit! I listen and support independently anyways. Just complicates organizing thats all...

*Uploading another few of my tracks to SHOWCASE wider range of music styles. 

* Once any track will be released a personal STREAMING version will be available to ANYONE on linked basis! 

* Mainly supporting any cooperation  note I don't have personally  as much time to support individually and am NOT actively making new music(except agreed projects which i consider as some temporary production setup support-alignment or as possible).   

* I mainly use sample/stem mixing so more about arrangements but many of my mixes are recorded LIVE. 

* Despite a lot of music organizing and spotlighting (independent promotion) and project setup activities I am just now improving DJ related music making on various projects. 
------------------
* As a project owner currating this place for any project. Its setup independently still open to any cooperation or useful connections. Mainly looking out for great listeners (streaming projects), maybe some more exclusive support for projects and artists around, other project owners (using existing setup or just connecting their project if useful),...and many pother projects planned!

ANY SUPPORT and or LIKE is HIGHLY APRECIATED as might get noticed or leave an option to RECONNECT. It will help many and maybe even yourself NOT EVEN BEING PART of any project directly. 


Current status :
5/2022------------LOGIN ISSUE---------------
Able to connect only ocassionally and cant log into T*V*P page at all. Trying to work on projects in private mode. Easy to contact me using discord.

------------LOGIN ISSUE ---------------
LOGGED IN AGAIN but still(WAITING FOR SC TO RESOLUTION OR AT LEAST RESPONSE to October 2021 login issue-s) ----- Quite busy with many setup activities now but still trying to more support projects and keep my supportive and spotlighting activities. Testing now connections and cooperation on various projects @ T*V*P "projects" and or on discord app. Mainly artists being in contact or "verified" will be accepted(members section). All other channels and open projects are available to anyone. Thanks for understanding.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Not providing any private info as not planning to be performing and rely on some release/acknowledgement process. Guess enough links to easily verify my activities-projects.

am also addicted to(any)music :) 

Active (2020-2022)

Hands up!
