I once knew a cat
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath


I once knew a cat
Who lived under the trailer
Where I worked,
And I brought her home
One cold winter morning
I made her bed that evening,
Next to mine
And she slept in it
As though the bed had been hers from the beginning,
And she purred throughout the night,
As the cold wind beat against the windows,
And she made a slight sound,
In what seemed as gratitude 
And from that day on,
We shared a deep bond,

Of all the pets I’ve had,
And I had many before her,
She was my closest,
And the best friend I ever had. 
And when I went about the house,
She’d follow me around,
Everywhere I went,
She was always at my side,
She was right there with me,
In the morning,
In the evening,
She was right by my side,
Until the day she had to go. 

On that day she slept forever. 
Forever my friend went away. 
On that day she slept forever. 
Forever my friend went away.

we’re from the Mid Atlantic coastal region of the long ago surfing paradise  mountain range known as Sandbridge , of course when the touristas arrive and we point to our mountains , they say it’s nothing but a few sand dunes,

 but we’re Visionaries !

I’m not sure what’s happened to the Mikes, but they might be in jail in “The State of Arkansaw” (if you know the song you know what I’m saying’ ).

I’ve been havin’ to hold down the Forte since we started posting here.
all of our stuff is with them in the camper - all our recordings and musical instruments ( if we had any, can’t remember, couldn’t play ‘em even if we did ! ). So all we can do for now is let me entertain myself as much as i can until they get back from whatever planet or Time Zone they’re lost in ….

what’ll you find here ?
All kinds of Food for Thought - like when all the hippies finally left Woodstock and the left behind began singing to the trees.
Let me clarify something right now about that event- almost no one but some of the bands from Europe and the Far East and their roadies ever used ANY drugs there- 99% of the people didn’t even have a beer ! I’m not kiddin’- I was there !! straightest group of people I’ve ever been with in my whole life ! Total CIA bullshit propaganda just to advertise their drugs so they could raise money for orphanages.

But Don’t look Back ! 

Hold onto your hats and your heads ! Lift OFF!!

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.

I knew at an early age that music would be a part of my life forever. In music I found my self-esteem and a way to make people feel. I began singing in public at nine years old and playing drums at thirteen.  In the tenth grade I auditioned to play drums and percussion with the South Georgia College and got the "gig". I performed in many musical productions there until I graduated high school and joined the army.  I continued performing in the NCO clubs while serving.
After obtaining the G.I. Bill I attended the University of South Carolina, where I played with several local bands. In 1982 I graduated college and taught special education until retirement last May. There, I witnessed the magic of music through my students.
I now enjoy the peace and solitude of a farm in the middle of "God's Country" here in Tennessee. With much help from family and friends, I am able to share my original songs with you.
I sincerely thank you for taking a bit of your time with me. I hope you receive a blessing from a song or two and as you listen, I hope you hear my heart in each and every one.  Tony
