Leamington Glow Demo

There's something eerie going down in Essex County, and I'm not talking about the Lake. Every since the marijuana grower Aphria Inc. moved into my hometown after the legalization of cannabis, there's been a massive light pollution problem thanks to their greenhouses. I guess this is the cost of doing Canna-business folks. 
You can see it from the Highway 401, you can even see it from Michigan, but what you can't see is the stars at night. This is sure to have an effect on the surrounding ecology, including the circadian rhythms of the wildlife, and you know Essex County is known for it's migrating wildlife, whether it's monarch butterflies, Canada geese, or human beings. 

Unfortunately, the Leamington town councilors aren't standing up to these people, they're still playing ball because Aphria Inc. is making them and the feds way too much money.  Of course, they needed them to fill the economic void ever since Warren Buffet's investment firm 'Berkshire Hathaway' bought out Heinz, and broke up that strong factory union. 

So what is one townie boy to do? I can't burn the place to the ground, I don't wanna end up in jail. So I wrote a song that tells the story of the situation. The only way we're gonna force their hand is to buy your weed local. You all know neighbors that grow the stuff. Buy from them. Don't buy from Aphria. (Check the label on your bud when you buy from a government dispensary)


P.S. Don't even get me started on that purple glow, too...they're both out there...competing for the night sky.

I Feel Surreal Demo

Baby Blue practice session

The true tale of an open mic gone terribly wrong. Written in the middle of a cold winter night, waiting outside at the border bus stop, listening to Neil Young. At least I had border agents with shotguns keeping watch.  Should've crashed in Cobo hall, but live and learn. (In the end it was probably my own damn fault, usually is)

Southern Charmer Demo

[Verse]
It's just like friction after every little bump in the road
It’s like swimming towards the source against the river's flow
We were there once, now I got nothing to show

I hesitated at first, though I gave it a try
But she couldn’t even bike without her breakin’ down cryin’
Thought I loved her once until I asked myself, ‘Why?’
Thought I was telling her the truth until it felt like a lie

[Refrain]
I don’t wanna ride you anymore
I’m saddle sore

[Verse]
I’ve been cycling all night just to lеt off some steam
I’ve been avoiding going homе, it feels just like a bad dream
Thought you were helping me out, now I know your scheme
And if it crashes down on you, you won’t get my sympathy
(And I don’t need yours)

[Refrain]
I don’t wanna ride you anymore
I’m saddle sore

[Verse ]
Now it’s hurtin’ so much that I can hardly sit
It’s swollen real bad, drain it like a zit
Maybe dumb luck’ll find a better fit
But I got places to go so it’s hard to quit

[Refrain]
I don’t wanna ride you anymore
I’m saddle sore

[Verse]
It’s been a pain in my ass, for such a long while now
You’re damned if you frown and you’re damned if you smile
It’s a circular track, but I’m still putting in miles
Hey, I’ll sign the affidavit but I won’t go to trial

[Refrain]
I don’t wanna ride you anymore
I’m saddle sore

[Verse]
I had to take a little break when I got into town
But I was travellin’ for nothin’, had to turn back around
I came riding in high, but I got torn down
Now there’s nothin’ left to do but to hit the ground

[Refrain]
I don’t wanna ride you anymore
I’m saddle sore

[Outro]
One day you're rollin' down the road, couldn't ask for more
But another days coming down to settle the score

[Narration]
But until that day comes...
Ah, just count your blessings or somethin'
And enjoy the ride

Saddle Sore
