WEDDING BASH by Ron Fuller

THE RIVER SONG (Wrong Dream) By Ron Fuller 2021
Verse#1: We were hanging out down by the Yangtze River there's a dead dog floats down the stream. Once the worlds most beautiful river now it's towers of concrete and steel.
The Three Gorges Dam causes earthquakes, the land slides the ground shakes.
Washing the precious top soil to the sea.
We where hanging out down by the Niagara river, dead dog floats down the stream.
Yet this is still such a beautiful river, but, it's also a toxic scene. The Love Canal it leaches is poisons out into Lake Ontario, down The St. Lawrence, out into the sea.
Chorus
Follow me to an other dream. To a world others might have seen.
There ain't no mystic rhythms, no secret decoder rings seems like we're living in the wrong dream, the wrong dream.
Verse#2: Oh ... we where fishing for salmon on the Columbia River. A dead Sturgeon floats on down the stream. The only way that they can reproduce is in a bucket the dam had land locked them from the sea. The salmon stocks they plummet, there's no nutrients for the forests and jungles. What follows is sickness and disease.
There's people washing and praying in the Ganges River while burnt bodies floatin down the steam. This is India's most sacred river where millions get their water to both bath and drink. While toxins, nutrients and topsoil cause algae blooms in the dead zones. Chromium mines turn the water a “pretty pink”
Chorus:
Verse#3: Oh ya can't swim across Africa's Vaal River cuz most people they just walk across it. It's the only source of water for millions for industry, the toilet, and to drink
The old mines leech heavy metal toxins, Big Agra's divergence projects. What the hell are people supposed to drink?
We were fishing for catfish on The Old Man River. A sign says just how many fish we can eat. Army Core Of Engineers are battling the river, trying to keep the shipping channels straight and deep. The runoff from America's Heartland chokes off the life in the swamps and dead zones are growing in our seas.
Chorus
“Everything is Connected”

January Funk New for 2015! Good music to clean the house by!

My friend Derek Swain sent me a few lyric sheets to see if they inspired anything in me, some years ago. Two of his lyrical ideas moved me back then but these lyrics for "ANGELS," were different from Derek's usual easy going style. That night I decided to film myself with my new junky cell phone and see what happens. What came out of me that night, first pass, plus the drums, guitars, bass, organ, and backing vocals I threw on the Mac next day, is the demo you're hearing from me to Derek for ANGELS. I think we had a good starting place, a private demo for each of us to bounce ideas back n forth off of to come up with ideas to do the song up real good. Do it up right! I also wanted to do an acapella intro into a Dicky Betts/Almond Brothers style lead guitar intro and some tasteful licks throughout the tune with Derek and I trading verses and lines and doing the backing vocals..... Meanwhile he did his own version in a folkier style that his fans know. We just couldn't get it synchronized my friend. 
He said, "Don't sweat it Ronnie" (I hate it when he called me "Ronnie" lol) "Don't worry, we got lots of time." He'd say "or just put out your version! Just put out your version!" I'm all..... "NO PHUGGING WAY!" You and some of our friends and family need to be all over the recording of this puppy! I always liked his brothers at NHS in the 70's and they are also players.
Life's short compared to eternity eh? I'm happy you plugged into eternity and your place therein some time ago D. We will get at er at the next session Durk. (What? You think I let him get away with "Ronnie?") Maybe some honest to god real angels will be hanging out at the show. 
I will miss you until then kid.

In life we may drive along placidly obeying the rules, not a worry in the world or there wasn't....

Now all bets are off! 
Now our only hope is that we can keep er on the road!
And most importantly,....... not spill a single drop!!!!

*Warning! A one take, first take, wartz n all, (including a glitchy noise gate at times.)production.....or lack of it....
** Also suitable listening music to bath your pets to in 48 States!

Here, Hold My Drink! By Ron Fuller Feb172016001

Second Mix:
Turned off the room fans and air conditioning, removed first 20 or so guitar notes. Bass vol. up slightly, guitar vol. down slightly. That's it but sounds much better I think.
This is a demonstration of one, ever so slightly, modified patch on the TC Helicon VL-3 featuring the Amp Model of the famous VOX AC-30 and how it gets dirtier by how hard one picks the string. The bass sound also came from the T.C. helicon unit.
*Music to nurse an uninspired hedgehog back to indifference to!
(or nakid hippy dance too...I don't judge!)

BOOB-AH-DUPAH by Ron Fuller

Know when you've had too much and know when to WALKAWAY
THE WALKAWAY SONG (lyric sheet)
By Ron Fuller October 10, 2018
#1. We took your philosophy ya dropped down on top of me until.
We looked at your message and decided we've taken the wrong pill!
And it's not right! We can't speak what we feel anymore!
And as you chisel at our rights we walk out the door......
Now we walk away, walk away. Yet I am confused!
So where is the tolerance and love and equality too?
Ya, we need to go, you're so low, I don't know you anymore!
Well, you're sure not the party of the people that we voted for!
Not today.

#2. We're Classical liberals! “New Dealers!” Individuals!
That's where we lived.
For the downtrodden! The unfortunate! The hungry! The have-nots!
That's where our care went.
Such bold lies! I don't think we can take anymore.
So until you re-build it right, we walk out the door........
I walk away, walk away, yet I leave confused!
It's 4:00 in the morning n I got nuthin to lose!
As you fade away! Trade away! Hate away!
We need to do more!
So stand up beside me right now and we'll walk out the door!
We'll do it today....

#3. You pushed your hypocrisy a corporate technocracy yelling “shame!”
We are all woke up n we are all hip to your games!
Do what's right! You can't fool us anymore!
So the harder you push for control, more walk out the door.
As we walk away, walk away. Well, we're not confused!
Cos everything's getting much brighter and we're not gonna lose!
As we breakaway! Save the day! I gotta say, we need to do more!
So let's....Try love! Try love! Try love!
N we'll walk off the floor....
Today..... We'll do it today!
As we walk away, walk away, walk away, we're not confused!
Oh, it's 4:00 in the morning n we got nuthin to lose!
As they fade away! Everyday! We can say that we've done more
then hide behind placards and slogans we walk out the door...

THE WALKAWAY SONG - Ron Fuller

Synth Pop Funkaround.
Good to solo screaming guitars or oboes over in the privacy of your own home!
Yep! Jam over it!
Play yur nuts off over it in fact!

NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE WITH SYNTHESIZERS! EVER! #57 Ron Fuller

I met my son's, wife's, father's, girlfriend's, son at a family gathering 8 years or so ago. He was about 16. He had heard some of my music and mentioned he was into music so I er uh, ahh interrogated him about all kinds of musicee stuff n computeree stuff n. He knew what I was talking about so I invited him over to see my studio. He seemed to follow everything I showed him n he said so.  
So I thought..."Let's throw him in the deep end" and I did! I started to improvise and told him to create a verse and I'll do a chorus. I counted it in n recorded it. 
Out of him came not only a very, very good verse idea with a great voice but his lyrical poetry blew me away. 
This is just me but the verses are his and the chorus's are mine. 
Enjoy my friend, Journey!
