This song belongs in a movie. It’s about a young sailor who meets a girl from a world far from his. This was the relationship that formed me artistically. It is meeting the right person at the right time to get you to where you are today.

I Need to Know If You're Happy Now

I Need to Know If You're Happy Now By Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

bodies fill the fields 
as we go
the good thing is 
this is the beginning of their end

the free world
the free world says `thank you Russia´

people die
but you clench the gun in your hand
hoping for the moment
for you too this nightmare ends

nowhere to hide
and nowhere to go
you'll face your end
here in Stalingrad


for my beloved Grandfather Motherside, Willi , who was a Farmer and burried his 3 elder brothers in the ruins of Stalingrad before breaking through the siege and heading home with 1 arm and 1 leg left returning unawaited - to the valley and  his fields . #thankyou for staying alive grandfather !

Just The Reckoning

Happy New Year!

Sending our love and good vibes :)

Lyrics:
I hear your car running
From three blocks away
Rushing to my bedroom
Do I look okay

My heart is racing faster
As you walk in through the door
If I was older
Would you want me more

I will wait for you
I will sing for you
Even until the old days become new

Your wearing those blue lucky jeans
You always looked so fine
Those witty jokes you tell me
You've got a way of stopping time

If I was older, would you want me more

I will wait for you
I will sing for you
Even until the old days become new

I will wait for you
I will wait for you

Imagine seven years from now
You take me to that place
Now I can finally share
All the affection that I've saved

I will wait for you
I will sing for you
Even until the old days become new

I will wait for you
I will sing for you

Let go of all I had just to hear you

Hear you
----

BEER AND A BIBLE 

By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder 

V1

Jesus spent time in the wilderness
I'm in the woods to hunt and fish
He walked all over the Holy Land
So do I, with a gun in my hand
A tradesman and a carpenter’s son
Both tired when the day is done
He came looking for imperfect men
And I think he found one, but let me tell ya son

CH

I got a beer now and I got a Bible
It's just about all I need
The first one helps smile a bit
And the second one helps me see
And if it was good enough for mama
And Waylon
Then it's good enough for me
Yeah I got a beer and a I got a Bible
And it's just about all I need

V2

All roads lead us to forgiveness
Not hate, regret or bitterness
And Jesus doesn't mind this beer in my hand
Or the time that I spend in my tree stand
I got hope when my life is done
I'll be fishing up there with the Son
Because he came to save lost men
Ended up being my best friend

CH

So I got a beer now and I got a Bible
It's just about all I need
The first one helps smile a bit
And the second one helps me see
And if it was good enough for mama
And Stapleton
Then it's good enough for me
Yeah I got a beer and I got a Bible
And it's just about all I need

CH

I got a beer and a Bible
And I got Jesus helping me
I got a beer and a Bible
And it’s just about all I need
I got a beer and a Bible
And Jesus helping me
It's just about all I need

A Song about a lonely old retiring Cowboy

I'll hang up my bridle and Jangerling spurs.
Fold my bandana that used to be hers.
Oil my old saddle that served me a time.
Thats all an old cowboy can do.

I'll turn out the gelding to laze by the stream.
In tall fields of clover, get lost in his dreams.
The long horns are calling its time to go home.
Thats all an old cowboy can do.

Chorus
So boil up some coffee and cook me some beans.
The  sunsets as good as Ive ever seen.
Lay out my bedroll beneath those sweet stars.
That's all an old cowboy can do.


So if you're a cowboy, there's work here to do.
Shine up those spurs and make them look new.
Pick up your saddle and muster the bay.
Theres work for a young cowboy to do.


Chorus
So boil up some coffee and cook me some beans.
The  sunsets as good as Ive ever seen.
Lay out my bedroll beneath those sweet stars.
That's all an old cowboy can do.




                              Whistle x 3
I'll hang up my bridle and Jangerling spurs.
Fold my bandana that used to be hers.
Oil my old saddle that served me a time.
Thats all an old cowboy can do.

Thats all an old cowboy can do.
Thats all an old cowboy can do.

Hung Up The Bridle

Hangup The Bridle

This is a song about the artwork on my cellphone that was created by our daughter, Celeste.  Dave Bell of Blue Attitude on guitar.

Frida Gough

There I was studying the menu when my cellphone rang.
I muted it and placed it on the table down.
Then I smiled at the waitress and told her I was sorry.  
She just stared at my phone.
She said, "Who's that on the back?  Is that our Frida Kahlo?"

Frida Gough, that's the name I gave her when she first was made.
An artist's stroke created by our daughter.  Made to get a grade.

Then she gasped and ran into the kitchen screaming for the crew.
They all came out and walked up to our tableside.  
They all smiled with big hellos, admiring my cellphone, 
and cheered, "You drink's on the house."
I didn't miss a beat and ordered some Famous Grouse.

Frida Gough, face-up on the table down in Mexico
brings free drinks wherever they remember Frida Kahlo.

The Playa Grande and even Todo Santos filled our cups with wine.
A caipirinha, Dos Equis and a mudslide free.
We all danced our way through Cabo, 
thanking Frida Kahlo, living life at its best.
They bring another round to toast our daughter Celeste.

Frida Gough, tequila and the lemons down in Mexico
are free to go wherever they remember Frida Kahlo.
Frida.  Frida.  Frida, Frida.  Frida. Frida Kahlo.  ¡Salud!

Hangup The Bridle
