When I Reach the Place I'm Going

Shakin’ on Down (Rob Carlson Aug. 2014)

There’s a train on a westbound track,
You climb aboard and you don’t look back
You go shakin’ on down.

Everybody’s got to take that ride.
We all know it but we don’t know why
We go shakin’ on down.

Shakin’ like a bag of maracas, drive wheels singing along,
You just look out the window to change your point of view.

Settle back and enjoy the ride,
Pass the dutchie on the left hand side and go…
Shakin’ on down, down the road…

(Instrumental)

Switchback climbing up the mountainside,
Across the Mississippi to the great divide…
Shakin’ on down.

People gettin’ on, people getting’ off, 
People gettin’ along,  and the dogs bark,
The train moves on…

Take it with a grain of salt and let that bad boy ride,
Just don’t ever let them take your dancin’ shoes.

So don’t you worry ‘bout a doggone thing,
When the fat lady sings, well… she sings,
And you’re taken on down, 
Down the road.

Len Handler studied clasical guitar with Leonid Bolotine, William Matthews and Peter Lawrence, and composition with Frederic Werle’.  As a performer, Len was stage guitarist for the original Broadway production of the musical Man of LaMancha, and has performed as guitar soloist with the New York City Ballet, New York Shakespeare Festival, and NBC’s Mike Douglass Show and Midday Live.  Len toured nationally with the duo Herrick & Handler, and has been guitar accompanist for Lannie Kazan, Howard Keel, and Jerome Hines, as well as guitar soloist in productions with Charles Durning, Barbara Barrie, Ralph Waite and Jose Ferrer.  

As a composer/writer, Len’s compositions have been published by Polygram Music, Universal, Boosey & Hawkes, Theodore Presser, G. Schirmer and Famous Music.  Country music reviewer Kris Wilson reviewed Don Williams’ recent recording of Len’s “Harry & Joe” as “…one of the twelve best songs recorded in Nashville this year.”  A recent Emmy nomination for Best Original Song (“Fool’s Gold”) along with featured songs on network television dramas Guiding Light, Another World, and As The World Turns, have kept Len busy writing. Len’s song “The Last Day of Forever” was recently featured in the film The Crab Orchard, starring Ed Asner and Judge Reinhold.

On the classical front, Len’s Concerto For Guitar and Orchestra was premiered by Claude Monteaux and the Haydn Festival Orchestra, and his song cycle for choir and string quintet, “Forgotten Faces,” was premiered in the fall of 2007.
