My Father played this instrumental and described to me the Apache native Americans on their way through a canyon . Cow boy films were topical at the time of writing this instrumental by the Shadows. enjoy!

Native American Shadows (cover)

About the Title: David and I were discussing the title of our piece and I mentioned that it didn't matter to me.  "I am easy to please. Unless I'm not".  And thus, our title. Thank you, @david-dunhamuser589535203 ! 

About the Artwork: This little beauty is a portrait of me drawn by my son at the age of 7 (many years ago!). Please note the happy mother caring for her children.  This is a detail from his whole family portrait in which small characters float around a huge virago-type mother.  My son was the only person smiling in his rendering of our family.  I suppose he was able to look past his plight and smile.
My self-esteem hasn't quite recovered.

Easy To Please (Unless I'm Not!)  David Dunham; classical guitar, Debra Buesking; piano

Lyrics

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe
music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed

Come along, you're all lnvlted to rlde the bus wlth us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus

(Spoken word samples are readings from The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe)
