Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks.

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hands
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
As the fast bullets fly.

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain.

You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
As the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud.

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins.

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do.

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul.

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I'll follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch as you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
To make sure that you're dead.

Ed Sheeran- Masters Of War (RP remix)

Life is like a bridge, you gotta drive through it and put your mind into it.

Floody Boy - Floody Minds

This was the Demo I sang, with Hank Mancini atr the keyboard in his office studio long ago at Sunset Blvd. & Vine.  The 45 record I had has such scratchiness - apologies!

Hank Mancini Demo

Sometimes (Not often enough)

This seemed timely to share, as we are now once again talking about "UFO's" and this musical was written back in the early nineties, but at that time the subject of alien abductions, etc was not a popular theme for theater pieces!~

14 Mahler and the Musicians

This is a five part series dedicated to electric organs. The title of the series was chosen for two reasons:

Firstly, “Organ Sounds And Percussion” is an album by Eddie Layton from 1962. Layton was one of my first great heroes on the electric organ and one of the main reasons I became interested in the instrument. Another significant early influence on my listening habits was Big John Patton. The title is meant as a tribute to those two musicians in appreciation of their work.

Secondly, the “percussion”-part is intended to imply that the series deals primarily with popular, rhythmic genres: Jazz, rock, reggae, funk and whatnot. More abstract material - drone, free improvisation, modern composition - is better suited for a separate treatment in my opinion.

In terms of the programming, I’ve been guided by two further choices:

Firstly, though a few names reappear over the course of the series, I’ve attempted to present as many different artists as possible.

Secondly, in #1 - #4 the main focus is on shorter pieces. In #5 emphasis is on longer pieces.

Finally, there are many types of electric organs on display here, including sampled and imitated ones. Truth be told, in one track there is no organ whatsoever outside of the lyrics. This is not an academic exercise and I’m no purist. My main purpose has simply been to make a selection that is a continuous joy to listen to throughout.

Thanks to Jan Høgh Stricker for the invitation. Thanks to Kasper Vang for editing and mixing. Thanks to Peter Peter, Chris Cutler and Martin Hoshi Vognsen for helping out.
