A few years ago, one of our presidential candidates referred to those who had the audacity to vote for the other candidate as "Deplorables".   It occurred to me that my family and I might fall into that "deplorable" category, so I thought I would offer a little insight into the daily life of us deplorables, or at least the perception of us by many of the social / political elites.

Adorable Deplorables

"THE CALL" DRINK PURPLE

with the congregation on acoustic bass
Recorded at fredrick street studios and bowling alley

Them’s the breaks 

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life intends
Would hope seem sweeter 
Would fate feel fair
To rob Peter
With no Paul to care

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life demands 
It ain’t money 
And class is lame
What it is
You get to name

Them’s the breaks
The horse you saddle
Like a snake without a rattle
Dropping down from the sky
Like an anvil
You’re up yer life
Without a paddle 

Take what we want 
Not what we need
Steal a glacier for just a drink
Sell them rope when they sink
Screw the others
We’re taught to think

JustForYou


Feeling kind of dark inside
On the edge just scraping by
And hoping for more
Cynical of the past
Waiting for another chance
Then you came through the door

When I looked into your eyes
Couldn’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

I was lost in a black abyss
Needing more than a quick fix
And the spark for the catalyst 
Was the passion of our first kiss

Well things don’t always go as planned
Sometimes you know shit hits the fan
But I don’t get sore
Counting blessings yes indeed
Got what I want and what I need
When you came through the door

Now when I look into your eyes
Can’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you

I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH C’EST FOU CE QU’ELLE DÉVORE 
ELLE EST DE L’ESPÈCE DES SOURIS PAPIVORES
OTHELLO MACBETH COOPER FENIMORE
BIEN SÛR MONSIEUR TESTE AND SO MANY MORE

AND IN A WORLD OF WORDS SHE LIVES UNDER THE SPELL JUST LIKE A MILLION BIRDS QUI LA FRÔLENT DES AILES

PLEASED TO MEET ELSPETH
MAIS NI REGRETS NI REMORDS SHE’S ALREADY FOUND HER BEST FRIEND AND SO MUCH MORE
YOU LUCKY ANDY

ET DANS SON MONDE DE MOTS SON UNIVERS DE LETTRES 
C’EST DES MILLIONS D’OISEAUX QUI LA FRÔLENT PEUT-ÊTRE

COMMENT ELLE S’APPELLE ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH 
COMMENT ÇA S’ÉPELLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPELL 
AD LIB
AND IF YOU DON’T THINK PARIS WAS MADE FOR LOVE GIVE LONDON ONE MORE CHANCE

LA SOURIS PAPIVORE (Lyrics) song for Elspeth

LYRICS 

8 billion people stopped praying today
Planes fell from the sky, fell like rain
Cars went crashing off of the roads
Tsunami waves landed on the coast

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Golden Gate Bridge is in the sea
The angels refused to intervene
The nations armies have gone to war
Those petty thoughts went out the door 

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Please forgive me for my selfish ways 
I know the whole world is falling away
My baby got caught up in this mess 
I didn’t try - didn’t do my best

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Begged the Whole World

I started out, I had no plan
I took a job and soon was working for the man
And now it seems through modern dreams
And all I've done is learn to live beyond my means
Yes we have the house, And we have the car
And paid for it all, on some credit card, now that ain't right!
Oh no, no

My second home, your student loan
And every year I got myself a brand new phone
Can't do without, don't have the nerve
I tell myself that these are things that I deserve
Yes, I can't make do,  With just half my chеque
I need all those things, so I live in debt
Now that ain't right
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told, was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
And now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I can't slow down, I've lost control
I've  double down and tell myself I'm on a roll
It's not my fault, it's not like me
I never saw myself as someone who ain't free
Now I'm wondering, has it gone too far?
Should I pick up the cheque, At this hotel bar? Now that ain't right!
No, no, no
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I was living like the money was king
I let it have the power on me
Now I recognize the funniest things
Is I'm broke and now I'm finally free hee hee hee-hee!

We all know life don't go as planned
So now I'm buying all my records second hand
It's brought me these, I've come to see
That all my greatest joys in life are always free
I still have my house, But I've sold my car
It felt so damn good, To cut up those credit cards, yeah that felt right!
Yeah, yeah, oo!
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

Up With The Jones

A couple of months ago I had the chance to jam with a couple of friends on guitars at a dinner party. We played a few Stones covers, and the vibe was ok. Then suddenly someone named the Velvet Underground, so I started strumming and singing a classic number we used to perform pretty often when we were young, "I'm Waiting For My Man". I could really feel it, and when I got home I thought it was worth trying to record it. In the past we used to cover the Live 1969 version, but this time I tried to blend it with a couple of other renditions, namely the 1972 Transformer Tour performance and an acoustic demo recorded in 1965. Quite obviously, I ended up adding to this bizarre jumble my own touch. I completed most of the tracking in about a week, but it took me a long time before trying to record vocals. It somehow sounded dull and trivial to my ears, so I had lost interest in finishing the song. Then a couple of weeks ago I felt inspired and I did the vocals. I also added an organ and a Cretan lyra parts, to make the ending section sound a bit more exciting.
Hope you'll enjoy this studio jam, I think it sounds quite unusual if compared to the rest of my stuff, but at the end of the day it's not so bad to listen to.

In this fictional story, Madlyn, "the little girl dressed in blue" from the track, Climb Up the Ladder is missed by her dad. We've gotten a number of condolence messages. I guess we did a good job on this track!

So yet again we meet Archy, in "The Unpredictable Journeys of Archibald Whim", as he leaves Asia for a wild trip across the Pacific Ocean on the RMS King Loony III. May he survive this dreadful journey over endless water thru storms and rain. So All Aboard! (or could this be a lightly hidden parable to the US of A in these pathetic times?) No that would be rude...or would it?

ALL ABOARD! Archibald Whim VIII

Like all here , I’m just trying to leave an echo !   Just trying to say I was here .  How lucky are we to live in an age when that is possible ?

reverend coldheart records with : mike shea, guitar whiz and sound designer, usually at his studio ;  mike hogan, who is a gifted bass player, usually in my kitchen ; joe ferguson, who is the original congregation and who started all this out with a christmas uke  ~   It's his fault !

Also, I’ve been jamming with Jarod, Tek, Gary and Shelbie on Sundays in a little white house out past Stilesville. We record under the name “makebelieve”. Hope to post some jams every now and then .

Since October 2023, Sunday jams with Gman and Reggie.  We record under name of:   “the charlatans”.  Or lately, the Sunday Jam Gentlemen.

Thank you for listening
