Sax is top notch, but really love the uke intro.  Fascinated by that V.

Lyrics taken from Percy Bysshe Shelley's The Masque of Anarchy, 1819

"The Masque of Anarchy (or The Mask of Anarchy) is a British political poem written in 1819 (see 1819 in poetry) by Percy Bysshe Shelley following the Peterloo Massacre of that year. In his call for freedom, it is perhaps the first modern statement of the principle of nonviolent resistance...
Shelley begins his poem, written on the occasion of the Peterloo Massacre, Manchester 1819, with the powerful images of the unjust forms of authority of his time, "God, and King, and Law" – and then imagines the stirrings of a radically new form of social action: "Let a great assembly be, of the fearless, of the free". The crowd at this gathering is met by armed soldiers, but the protesters do not raise an arm against their assailants..."

Ye Are Many
Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!

What is Freedom? Ye can tell
That which Slavery is too well,
For its very name has grown
To an echo of your own

Ye who suffer woes untold,
Or to feel, or to behold
Your lost country bought and sold
With a price of blood and gold -

'Let a vast assembly be,
And with great solemnity
Declare with measured words that ye
Are, as God has made ye, free -
And if then the tyrants dare
Let them ride among you there
Slash, and stab, and maim, and hew, --
What they like, that let them do

With folded arms and steady eyes
And little fear, and less surprise,
Look upon them as they slay
Till their rage has died away

Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Ye are many -- they are few

Lyrics:
Joey held the bottle upside down
Squeezed it and the smile turned to frown

It was the ketchup precum! 
Once a delicacy grilled under the sun
and now a wet hot dog between a soggy bun

Oh yeah ketchup pre cum
That's what you get when you don't shake before you squeeze

I didn't really fancy any discolored water with my meal tonight
I was really looking forward to those tater tots, Before I took a bite
A magnificent meal that was shattered by one squirt
A puddle that stares me in the face from the plate 
Left me in a world of hurt

Ketchup yeah!
Precum No!

My Burgers!
My fries!
One squirt could meet the demise of the food that I eat

You don't want
You don't want
You don't want
You don't want
The ketchup precum No no no!
You don't want it slaughtering your plate
It's a liquid that everyone hates
Don't you know that no one wants to deal with the dreaded ketchup precum

In A Dark Hole

This is a song about saying goodbye while the heart still wants to hold on 🖤

Lyrics:
Only in dreams

When we kissed
beneath the twisted tree
and love changed colors
like the autumn leaves
that kept falling to the ground
without a sound…

Maybe we were
never meant to be
and all that‘s left now
is a memory.
We became a sad story,
a poem that doesn‘t rhyme.

Only in dreams.
One stich away.
Torn at the seam,
but it‘ll be okay.
It could have been
rare and pristine.
Only in dreams.

Oh, oh, Ah, Ah,
You’ve inspired me
to be nothing like you.

A back-and-forth
between the heart and brain.
don’t want to make
the same mistake again.
I‘ve asked myself, what did I do?
The problem was you!

Everywhere I go,
I see your face,
and there are thoughts of you
I can‘t erase.
You were the first one that I loved,
the first one I lost.

Only in dreams.
One stich away.
Torn at the seam, but
I’m gonna be okay.
It could have been
rare and supreme.
Only in dreams.

Oh, oh, Ah, Ah,
You’ve inspired me
to be nothing like you.

It‘s just the feelings that I miss. I keep
feeding them with memories.
But both will slowly fade
over time.

Only in dreams.
One stich away.
Torn at the seam, but
I’m gonna be okay.
It could have been
rare and supreme.
Only in dreams.

Oh, oh, Ah, Ah,
You’ve inspired me
to be nothing like you.

Only in dreams.
One stich away.
Torn at the seam, but
I’m gonna be okay.
It could have been
rare and supreme.
Only in dreams.

Only In Dreams

This song began with Jeff (Stoner Jazz) sending the foundational tracks of guitar and drum/bass machine to Stephen (Tex Mex Shaman), who added some additional guitar and sound effects. They then sent it over to Terry, who added synth and percussion to the second half, as well as took over the role of producer for the entire track. Terry then sent it to me. I added the mandolin and the five string fretless bass to the whole thing. Terry used Hosam's vocals for flavor at the beginning, too. I had a lot of fun working on this one. Jeff and Stephen are excellent musicians, who are open to pushing the envelope of creativity. Terry is similarly open minded and super talented behind the board. Hosam's vocals were just right for what we were trying to do, too. I sincerely hope that that, although this is already my second song with Terry, that it will be the first of many with Jeff and Stephen, as well. all of these guys make exciting, amazing music on their own, too. I'm honored to be a part of their musical world.

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.
