Dad on the phone-father's day remembrance

A rockin' trip through the Wild West with Doc Love at the helm.  Music and lyrics by Tony Pullins, this recording was commissioned as a reward for Tony's contribution to my Guadalupe Kickstarter from 2013.  It took ten years to complete but, as the old Doc always said, "Good things take time"..

You Don't Scare Me (1988)

From the legendary savage young Scratch Band  rehearsal tapes recorded at the infamous Cat House in Sacramento, California during the autumn of 1979, this tune showcases Sharon McCall on lead vocals and rhythm guitar on a song she wrote especially for the band.  Mark Tootle on piano, Jan Eric on bass, Mike Roe on lead guitar and Mark Proctor on drums.

When The Victims Control

Old pal/roadie/77s fan club guy Don Bown interviewed me for www.77s.com maybe 15 or 20 years ago.  I told him to NOT come over late at night to do this as I would be too punchy, but he showed up late anyway.  So, the first few minutes of the interview were laughing only.  He edited all the laughing into a creepy musical track and this is the result.  I usually end up in tears pounding the floor and unable to breathe every time I hear it.  Your mileage may vary.

My girl has a job in a cheese shop
We meet in a room at the back
We whisper so no-one can eavesdrop
Except for the Monterey Jack

This is my cheesy song
I swear it won't be very long
Its notes are as sharp as an old Parmesan
But I hope you can sing along

Her lips are a soft Mozzarella
Her skin is a smooth Camambert
I love when she calls on her fella
To remove Gouda chunks from her hair

This is my cheesy song
I swear it won't be very long
Its notes are as sharp as an old Parmesan
But I hope you can sing along

I am her Edam - she is my Eve
We roll in a garden of Feta and Brie
Jalapeño kisses as hot as an oven
She melts my resistance with her cheesy lovin'

And
This is my cheesy song
I swore it wouldn't be very long
But I have to go now - our pizza is done
And so is this cheesy song

Yes I have to go now - our pizza is done
And so is this cheesy 
Easy
Brie-zy
And so is this cheesy song!

My Cheesy Song

Up all night losing my time
It helps me not to think
The sunrise welcomes another day
And I get me another drink

Be cool, be funky, be easy, 
why can’t you be a bit sleazy?!
They couldn’t know the hell you’ve gone through
The one torn up, is just you

Don’t hurt me with your word
It’s like a heavy rock lying in my soul
Don’t watch me with that glance
I can’t stand the pain because
Everything you do, burns me I’m
A highly sensitive person, you see
If you want to know me
Welcome to my world

Every time you open your mouth
Be sure you switched on your brain
Millions of people, millions of faces
We are not all the same
Be kind, be nice and respectful
If you can hate, I can love

We all shall try to be more careful
And let the stars shine above.....
