You cannot find no place to go
Seek to hide from truth

Running away from those who know
No longer shall we be dooped (oh no)

Where you gonna run to
When you see me coming

Where you gonna run to
When you see that look in mine eye

Where you gonna run to
When there is no place left to hide

Surface is where your purpose is clear
All one does is watch your kind

Fool calculate and mastermind
Manipulation so easy to find

You're running
You're running away
You're running away from yourself
Run Run
Run Running away
But the truth cannot hide
So don't deny (oh no)

Where you gonna run to
When you see me coming

Where you gonna run to
When you see that look in mine eye

Where you gonna run to
When there is no place left to hide

I am asking you
Where you gonna run to?
I am asking you
Where you gonna run when there's no place left to hide?

Where you gonna run to
When you see that look in mine eye

Where you gonna run to
When there is no place left to hide..

Run Run

Along the Way
Hypocrisy got the better of me
Along the way I went astray
I'm seeking redemption and it's my intention
To change my ways (oh woah woah)
A wise man say
You surround yourself
With Only most extraordinary
People around but be weary
Of Evil abound (oh woah woa)
I can change
I know I
I think I
I know I can change
I know
I know I
I know I
I know I
I can change
I WILL change
It's so easy when you have plenty
To lose yourself in what may be
keep your feet on the ground
And know who's around
But be weary of evil abound
Humility is like gravity
but it's no surprise when one defies
Keep your feet on the ground
and know who's around
and be weary of Hypocrisy
We can change
I know I
I know we
I KNOW I can change
I know
I know I
I think we
I know we
We can
We will
Hypocrisy got the better of me
Along the way I went astray
I'm seeking redemption and it's my intention
To change my ways (oh woah woa)

Along The Way

River
(Whoa Whoa Whoa whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa whoa)
Fill your life with beauty
And that's alright by me
Fill your life with plenty
Of loving company
(Whoa Whoa Whoa whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa whoa)
When the river runs
And when the river dries
When the river flows
We'll have our fun
And when the river dries
We'll damn (dam) everyone (every one)
And when you call out my name
I will know who to thank
When the river dries We take to the Sky
And when we cross the Sky
We find the Love we seek
And when we cross the sea
We'll be in the journey
And when we cross the whole World..
When the River runs
And When the river dries
And When the river flows we'll have our fun
And when the river dries we'll damn everyone
And when I fall to my knees
I pray to the god that I see
When the Oceans rise we take to the sky
to me you are the sea
gone are my reserves
for you i have no words
after all the river speaks
wet or dry the river knows
When the river runs
And when the river dries
When the river flows we'll have our fun
And when the river dries we'll damn everyone.

Service

Place what we learn
In the service of the World
Take my advice
Never think twice
Retreat within
Befriend everything
Trust your choice
Hear soul's voice

Share your light
With those you love
Inward flight
Like a dove
Feel your thoughts
And Judge not
Seize the day
Seek and find your way

Experience is your best offense
When you find yourself
Needing confidence
Skills don't come easily
Time and patience gives you these

Share your light
With those you love
Inward flight
Like a dove
Feel your thoughts
And Judge not
Seize the day
Seek and find your way

Place what we learn
In the service of the World
Take my advice
Never think twice
Retreat within
Befriend everything
Trust your choice
Hear soul's voice

Service

Father and son duo, Doc Zig and Benny Z have been jamming together since the early nineties, although their connection through music dates back to the day of Benny's birth. According to Doc Zig, "As a father I introduced myself at each of the births of my newborn children with the playing of my mandolin. And they both responded with a pleasing smile." The result was later evidenced by Benny's fervor for piano lessons. Though Benny shifted to the saxophone as soon as school allowed. Benny recalls "..first gazing up through the window of a music shop and seeing the glistening tenor sax staring me down, practically calling my name.."

The Stones, Clapton, Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt and Ry Cooder all led Doc Zig to the Country Blues, although his interests have always been varied. In the fifties and sixties, Doc Zig cut his teeth on Rock & Roll and Rhythm and Blues performing with his band, The Revelites. As a college student he traded his custom Gibson electric ES335 for an acoustic Martin D35 solidifying his commitment to the early roots music that made its way from plantations to the cities and towns of America. Thus began his fascination with all strings acoustic, mandolin, fiddle, resonators and guitars of all shapes. Feeling most effective as a side man he experienced a ten year collaboration with Charlie Archer, a self described “walking museum of the Country Blues.” He could play all styles of pre-war blues aptly displayed on Doc Zig's first LP release, “Live In The Moment”.

From an early age, Benny Z was drawn to Bob Marley's melodic tones and lullaby song writing style. Playing guitar, piano and singing as a child, he evolved through school also playing alto, tenor and most recently b flat soprano saxophone - his music often expressed in Jazz improvisations, Samba and Bosa Nova. Ben has toured Nationally as co-song writer, sax player and back up singer. More recently Benny Z authored and co-produced a live EP to be released this spring 2010.

Check out Doc Zig and Benny Z, Father and Son, Playing For Small Change, a live studio EP, expressing the daily journey, sweeping the listener into a poly-rhythmic, earthy, and artful musical expression.
