I’ve been working so hard you just wouldn’t believe,
And I’m tired!
There’s so little time and so much to achieve,
And I’m tired!
I’ve been lying here holding the grass in it’s place,
Pressing a leaf with the side of my face,
Tasting the apples to see if they’re sweet,
Counting the toes on a centipede’s feet.
I’ve been memorizing the shape of that cloud,
Warning the robins to not chirp so loud,
Shooing the butterflies off the tomatoes,
Keeping an eye out for floods and tornadoes.
I’ve been supervising the work of the ants
And thinking of pruning the cantaloupe plants,
Timing the sun to see what time it sets,
Calling the fish to swim into my nets,
And I’ve taken twelve thousand and forty-one breaths,
And I’m TIRED!

Chris and I met less than 24 hours ago at an EBASS event and hit it right off.  Jammed together the next morning and here's one of the tracks we managed to record.

Take It Up To Richmond (by Chris Janson)

Come Home

A cover of one of my favorite John Lennon songs.

Oh Yoko (John Lennon Cover)

Strawberry Fields Forever (Beatles cover)

A dangling philosophy
Hangs quiet over Roslin street
And nobody looks up, they carry on
It sways and from this loft it seems
Like waves that push through mellow seas
Enough to rock but not enough to roll
The ship keeps sailing softly without toll

Now somewhere down below I see
A child is fraught with misery
A cry rings out and echoes to the curb
With hope and nowhere else to go
It settles in its afterglow
And melts away to dream, awaiting time
Composed and getting ready for the climb

And somewhere in my mind I see
A cruel and crippled memory
A fight between what's best and what is worse
like talking with the enemy
I'll put my thoughts to melody
And find a cure for malady with verse
Decide between what's poetry or curse

Where The Sidewalk Ends / Invitation (Shel Silverstein)

What a strange wind it was today
Whistlin' and whirling and scurlin' away
Like a worried old woman with so much to say
What a strange wind it was today

What a strange wind it was today
Cool and clear from a sky so grey
And my hat stayed on but my head blew away
What a strange wind it was today

-Shel Silverstein
