The Stones Keep Rolling

Every morning it’s the same routine
alarm clock rings six-fifteen
crawl out of bed - grab a coffee
get dressed - shave you’re in a hurray
half-asleep in the subway
thinking TGIF - and it’s only Monday.
A dozen jobs in a dozen years
you’ve sold some smiles - you shed a few tears
you feel like a needle in a haystack
one in a million - you never look back.

And The Stones  
yeah The Stones
The Stones 
They keep rolling
and I’m rolling too
and  I’m rolling too.

Pushing forty - looking like thirty
feeling like twenty - keep touching wood
day dreams of James Dean
Johnny Be Good - first class to Hollywood
your fantasies are now realities
thinking “Only The Lonely” - please “Let It Be”
and time’s going by so fast
tomorrow’s part of days future past. 

And The Stones
yeah The Stones
The Stones  
they keep rolling
and I’m rolling too
and I’m rolling too.
Yeah Ma Papa was a Rolling Stone
Papa was a Rolling Stone
yeah ma Papa - ma Papa - ma Papa - my Papa
was a Rolling Stone.

The Stones Keep Rolling

Just in time for the November event!! A bi-partisan approach :)

Here Come The Clowns (Circus Election)

Smoke'em If You Got'em

Down in London on a musical weekend, a diet of absinthe and anphetamines, a girl with pillar box red hair , flashing lights and twitching curtains, it was all go. Jarvis Cocker of Pulp fame knocked the flat door I was staying in loking for "Greens", this was in 1999, wrote the song in 2008, only surfaced again when I popped it on the new Mental straights album in 2017,, love playing this one as it brings back the most hoffiric and beautiful dreams in equal turn. Cant remember much from this period at all ,'ve grown up now (, sober as a judge) but it all helps along the path of life experience. Enjoy folks, good bit of energy to this one, thanks to everyone supporting us, it's much appreciated, we are very busy from October to December 2017 rehearsing a set for a new live album and two videos are getting made shortly. It all go in camp mental. Hope this greeting finds you all, and finds you well. Beaming musical positivity to all.

MAY'BE WE'LL FALL
WHEN I SEE YOU ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
I'M CHASING STARS
CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE GONE THIS FAR

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU
I'M ALL ALONE

UP IN THE AIR
BREATHING IN THE APMOSPHERE
MY TIME HAS COME
CAN'T SEE MY WAY BACK HOME

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU......

I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN CALLING MY NAME
GUESS YOU'VE HEARD THIS SLOGAN BEFORE

TAKE GOOD CARE
'YOU KNOW' I MIGHT JUST SEE YOU THERE
BUT IT'S SO FAR
THE DAY'S IN LIFE ARE GETTING SHORT

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU
I'M ALL ALONE

Workaround

Lyrics:

In the skies they are singing
Echoing your perfect light
Swimming over us shining
Synchronized dance in time

Rising falling
This is why I sing this is why I sing
Though it lingers still
I will feel no fear
I will sing of your love 
made a path just for us

Alpha
You are why I sing
Omega
I will sing of the day you rose out of the grave

As the sea is calling 
You are hovering there
Over chaos and darkness
You breathed life to the air

Living dying
This is why I sing this is why I sing
Though it sought to kill
You will make it fear
Through the death and the dirt 
you have won risen up

Alpha
You are why sing
Omega
I will sing of your love to create just for us

Alpha 
And the Omega
From the start to end 
planned to come again
All the time all for love

All the time all for love
This is why I sing

The Alpha and The Omega

thank you so much for letting my inner zappa take a peak.

Sleep Dirt with Joanne Deerfield

Hold another matter
Make the hand reveal the sound of all
Destruction
Chock the wheels on the progress of the
Function 
Of fools 
And foils
Or the toils 
Of stupid men or
Reason
With the seasons of the
Will of mother nature

Make the light delight the gods
We’ve left discarded on the pile of 
History
Lift them of the burden of their
Misery
Replace the mystery 
Of their power
Over men that seek the knowledge
Of creation
That reach ever farther from their proper
Station
In the cupboard of the lord

Look up at the shinning sun 
Exploding for a time beyond all logic
We make believe we understand
The infinite
The shape
Of the world
Of the stars that we will never see
In person
An equation for the total of creation
This cupboard of the lord

Mumbling In The Cupboard Of The Lord

A song for my brother Jim. Redone fuller version with some new lyrics, fuller instrumentation, bridge added etc. , still working on some better mastering but mostly finished. Thank you Morry for doing all the creative instrumentation and bridge! 

I put this smile on every morning
to hide the obvious trace
Of the tears that keep falling nightly
with their bitter and haunting taste

Blame keeps surging up inside me
drowning what was once a spark
If I could have you here beside me
I'd find a way to mend your broken heart

I've been holding on so tightly
I've been pushing down my heart
But it keeps rising up to spite me
Rising up to find its missing part

There are times I feel you present
though my mind knows that you have gone
Just beyond the answers we keep searching for
in a bird, the rising sun, a song

I've been holding on so tightly
I've been pushing down my heart
But it keeps rising up to spite me
Rising up to find its missing part
	 
I see you standing beside me
I can hear your words 
I wonder if you are lonely, lonely as I am without you
Some nights it takes over
Some days I can hold it far away 
But when I'm quiet I hear it inside me
knocking louder the longer I stay

I've been holding on so tightly
I've been pushing down my heart
But it keeps rising up to spite me
Rising up to find its missing part

I put this smile on every morning
To hide the obvious trace
Of the tears that keep falling nightly
With their bitter and haunting taste

Bitter Taste

The Memory of You

Verse 1:
Am I dreaming
Did I see you just walk in the door
Did you look through the glass and smile at me
That grand smile you once made when our eyes met

Chorus 1:
The memories so clear hurt so dear
They ache in my head

Verse 2:
Did I see that face so grand 
The one that opens the gate 
With smile at me
Eyes that sparkle of life

Chorus 2:
The memories so clear hurt me so
They ache thorough out my body

Bridge:
Oh how life changes
As it moves forward
Love’s lost
Memories gained
Loves memories

Verse 3:
Oh how it’s all changed
Is my dream within a dream of the you I once knew

Chorus 3:
The memory of you is so clear
The pain is so real


Description:
This song is in 5/4 time.  I play a PRS GE Tremonti for the lead guitar parts.  I do all vocals.

The Memory Of You

L'Apparition

Three Photons is an analog-centric indie jazz-blues project that blends vintage warmth with cinematic introspection. Rooted in tape-based production and minimalist arrangements, the sound evokes dusky landscapes, quiet urgency, and the emotional clarity of improvisation.

Drawing from early jazz recordings, lo-fi textures, and ambient storytelling, Three Photons crafts sonic environments where each note feels intentional and alive. The name reflects a fascination with light, resonance, and the subtle interactions that shape perception—mirroring the project’s ethos: understated, immersive, and deeply human.

From reel-to-reel saturation to spacious reverb tails, every track invites deep listening and quiet reflection. This is music for late nights, long drives, and moments that linger.

🎙️ Analog soul. Magnetic tape. Timeless tone.

The Mental Straights is my musical ramblings on a plate. From dirty fuzz pop to anarchic and wacky , to punk to funk. But all laced with the same DNA.
And it's all old school...no computer trickery, just play and record and go.
