Don't let Trump hear it, you will be killed:)

Yeah and….we’ll die if we don’t wear a mask, IR Act actually reduced inflation, white supremacy is the biggest threat to our democracy, etc.  Too funny.  Hey, the overnight wait was just to see how many he needed.

Everyone is getting out. 🤣🌈🤣Love your stories

I broke a leg bone (femur) in May of 2022. I wrote the song as I lay in a hospital bed and sedated with a mild dose of morphine. About a week after the operation, a physio nurse had come into my room to go over some exercises. To be honest, she was quite pretty and she seemed a bit suggestive with respect to "if I would be up for some exercise".  Probably just the morphine but it got the lyrical part of my brain turning and from that came most of the verses.  I managed to type them into an email on my phone and send it to myself. I had to make some alterations but this is gave me a solid start.  The music came later, as did the final changes to the verses. The outro just came as an inspiration during the recording.  It might have sounded better if I had done the 3 parts about a dozen times but I left it the way it was on the first takes. 

There were a lot of small events which gave the final direction to this song, including an interesting road sign just south of High River, AB.

Rough Road  (a.k.a. The Broken Femur Blues)
==========

[INTRO]

Ya  it's a shame, too late in the game
To find any thunder in this lightning bolt.
It'd be a nice surprise, but by the look in your eyes
That’d be all she wrote.  Ya, it’s a long, rough road.

Still I remember . . . lying there in pain,
Unable to stand, my face in the dirt.
I just couldn't decide , was it really my pride
Or my hip that was hurt.   Ya, it’s a long, rough road.

[SOLO]

[BRIDGE]
They say there's no gain
Without a little pain
The plan was never to gain a lot.
Just sing me a song and then move on and be happy with what I got.

So I ended up . . . in an ambulance ride
And a surgeon ready to cut in.
Some x-rays pics and sister morphine doing her tricks
A lag bolt and steel pin . . . Ya, it’s a long, rough road.

I walked with 4 wheels then I walked with a cane (asking myself)
Will I ever be the same again?
Well it took me seven months to stand on my own.
If life was easy, it wouldn’t be such a long, rough road.

[OUTRO]
Without the pain . . . without the pain
Without the pain, it wouldn’t be such a long, rough road.

At 29 Joe Biden was elected to the Senate 
And for nearly 40 years he walked the hallowed halls of Congress
A faithful public servant on a public servant’s salary 
But he must be good with money cause he owned four spacious mansions 

He liked to call himself lunch bucket Joe but somehow lived a life of luxury! 

Jeffrey Epstein killed himself 
Dr Fauci’s good at science 
There are more than just two genders 
Those were mostly peaceful protests
And Joe Biden got more votes than any presidential candidate in history 

Joe Biden represented the tiny state of Delaware 
Which had become a haven for big banks which offer credit cards 
Joe sponsored legislation made it harder for consumers 
To find relief from debts by simply filing chapter 7

And the big banks were so grateful they gave joe’s son Hunter quite a nice consultant’s fee

Jeffrey Epstein killed himself 
Dr Fauci’s good at science 
There are more than just two genders 
Those were mostly peaceful protests

And Joe Biden got more votes than any presidential candidate in history

Joe Biden was vice president for president Obama 
Our relationship with Ukraine had been delegated to him 
A Ukrainian conglomerate, on its board had Hunter Biden 
And Was scrutinized intensely for wrongdoing and malfeasance 

on video Joe warned unless that prosecutor’s canned your aid’s in jeopardy 

Jeffrey Epstein killed himself 
Dr Fauci’s good at science 
There are more than just two genders 
Those were mostly peaceful protests

And Joe Biden got more votes than any presidential candidate in history

Joe Biden got more votes than Washington or Lincoln 
Joe biden got more votes than either of the Roosevelts 
Joe biden got more votes when you adjust for population 
Than Barak Obama, Clinton, Harry Truman, Jimmy Carter or John Kennedy 
Joe Biden got more votes than any presidential candidate in history

After serving as Vice President, Joe threw his hat back in the ring 
But he was older now and many thought he suffered from dement- i- a 
But one by one the others in the race fell by the wayside 
And when the putrid smoke cleared only Biden was left standing 

In spite of all his gaffes and his befuddlement, Joe Biden was the nominee!

Jeffrey Epstein killed himself 
Dr Fauci’s good at science 
There are more than just two genders 
Those were mostly peaceful protests

And Joe Biden got more votes than any presidential candidate in history

Joe Biden ran for president two times both unsuccessful 
In 1998 he plaguirized a speech he’d given 
And ten years later had no chance against Barak Obama 
But this time things were different as the nation feared the virus 

This pandemic gave Joe Biden what would prove to be the perfect winning Strategy!  

Jeffrey Epstein killed himself 
Dr Fauci’s good at science 
There are more than just two genders 
Those were mostly peaceful protests

And Joe Biden got more votes than any presidential candidate in history

Joe Biden got more votes than Washington or Lincoln 
Joe biden got more votes than either of the Roosevelts 
Joe biden got more votes when you adjust for population 
Than Barak Obama, Clinton, Harry Truman, Jimmy Carter or John Kennedy 
Joe Biden got more votes than any presidential candidate in history

A pandemic had befallen us which prompted Biden activists 
To change our voting systems and allow for votes by mail 
Which of course is quite straightforward and does not allow for cheating 
And all signatures accepted ,no IDs are ever needed. 

In Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia maybe now it’s clear to see 

<chorus> 

Why Joe Biden got more votes than any presidential candidate in history 

On the eve of the election, our man Joe was clearly losing 
In what seemed to be a landslide, in the early morning hours 
Semi trucks filled up with ballots, came to many polling stations 
These were ballots which were mailed, big majority for BIDEN 

And now I think we’ve cleared up any doubt, we haven’t left a trace of mystery


<chorus>

A cover of Ween's masterpiece "Hippy Smell"
Music and lyrics written by Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo

Lyrics:

Hippy smell
Only I can tell
Patchouli oil
Sixties Girl
Said you're not real
And you're not surreal
Can't you tell
Hippy smell
Singin' hippy smell
Only I can tell
Patchouli oil
Sixties Girl
Singin' you're not real
And you're not surreal
Can't you tell
Hippy smell

She's got the hippy smell, ladies and gentlemen
You can smell the patchouli oil on her breath
See the Grateful Dead posters hangin' up all over the place
She said "You know, I wish I was alive in the sixties, cause those were really groovy times!"
Well, you know I got somethin' to tell you
You wouldn't want to be alive in the sixties
You would've probably gotten your little hippy ass killed or something you little shitface
Oh

Hippy smell
Only I can tell
Patchouli oil
Sixties Girl
Singin' you're not real
And you're not surreal
Can't you tell
Hippy smell

The FL Vocal Series, always well-received, has brought something interesting to my attention.

Previously, I introduced an imaginary band formed in my mind's London, Cat Synthesizers. After five years, they have released their second album.

Their first album, "Cat is a Love, Love is a Cat," was a collection of upbeat and cheerful songs.

However, their latest release, "No Cat No Life," marks a departure from their live band reputation. This time, the album focuses on more thoughtful compositions that even cats can dance to.

Today, I'll share one of the tracks with you, "AWAY," it’s an energetic.
