KAAY

When I was a teenager in the Midwest we were isolated from what was happening on the coasts. The cultures used to be pretty divided. It would take months for music, fashion and ideas to arrive in our midwest town. I could go into the back yard late on summer nights and  pick up KAAY out of Little Rock Arkansas, six hundred miles away. It is where I first heard a lot of the west coast bands. Clyde Clifford would play full albums. It is where my interest in music became serious. At the time my father, at forty six, was dying. His behavior became something I was tasked to watch out over. I felt isolated and alone. In the summer of 1969, on my fifteenth birthday, he told me he wouldn’t be around for my next one…he was right.


In the back yard I could hear the radio
All the way from Little Rock Arkansas
I could close my eyes and never see the end
I didn’t know I could do it so I did
Or at least I think I did

I have a hard time going back there
But I go back just the same

Last time I saw him
Was on the master bedroom bathroom floor
He was crying
Oh my god I’m dying
It’s a kind of shame
It’s hard to explain
Its just so early 
And winter settled in

Sometimes it seems
Hardly worth the risk
Of losing what I know
To find out what I missed
What I missed 

But in the back yard
Along the fence line 
I will always think of him that way 
In the garden
I never grew
Just plowed under
The thoughts of you

We were not close
But I watched him day by day
Somehow I knew
It would turn out this way

Well the ground is frozen
Can’t dig a grave when the ground is frozen
I bounced a ball off of the house
I remember that kid
It’s different now, I’m not that kid
Most of the time I’m you
Sitting in the sun

Like a breeze in the wind
Or the flames of a fire
Or shooting stars 
Rushing in

This track is about the battles we all have within ourselves. When it seems like our head is against us.

There You Go Again

If I saw a day that made me think of you.
It would be in May when the flowers bloom.
And the birds would sing a love song for the ages,
And I would hum along as they sang.

If I had a dream that could somehow describe
What you meant to me, how you made me feel inside.
That dream would doubtlessly be taking place in springtime.
And I would play along on guitar.

If I played a game that somehow captured you
The challenges explained in describing you.
Would it connect the dots or fill in all the blanks?
Would I play the game, or it play me?

If I wrote a song, is there any way
I could get it wrong and the music would not play?
Should I even try - or will my efforts make me realize
How it would feel if I loved you.

If I Loved You

But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved (Math. 24:13)

I salute you my brother
Fist on my heart
Pride in the other
Tear in my eye
For all that you gave
I stand for you

When life gave us a choice
You rose up tall
I still hear your voice!
Be true and be brave
In all that you do
I stand for you

I salute you my brother
Blood on their hands
Couldn't just watch them suffer
When no side can win
And the war takes another
Soul from this world

Fist on my heart
I salute you my brother
Pride in my eye
Pain in the other
For all that you gave
And all that you are
I'll stand for you 

With my fist on my heart

Fist On My Heart
