What a write, performance and production. Love it!

Just set back and let your mind wander.
I am playing the nylon string guitar and via my wind controller the Bansuri flute. Band-in-a-Box is playing the rest of the tracks.

Peacefull Feelings

You are in a very private special place.  You get really scared and nervous when evil tries to take over your mind and body.  But then you calm down when good takes over.  Back and forth you go.  Which will win?  You have to listen to find out!

I am playing the bass, guitar, and via my keyboard controller the choir. Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks.

Inner Sanctum

Something in your way
Somewhere in your eyes
An open invitation 
But I know I won’t reply

Because there’s nothing I will do
And nothing I will say
And the more and more I fantasize
The more you slip away

I’m wishing on a love 
I can’t make real
Reaching out for something
I know I'll never let me feel

But I could be wrong
You could be right
You could be the fire in my life
You could be strong
Carry my weight
Be the iron in my gate
You could be every note
That I would ever sing
You could be my falling star
You could be my everything

It might be a mistake
I’ve made my share and more
Another episode of cowardice
Well, I’ve seen this show before

And still you pull my heart
With the mischief in your smile
While every breath’s a stop and start
Every inch a mile

But, oh, those little moments
Make me fall
How can everything seem possible
When I know it’s not at all

But I could be wrong
You could be right
You could be the fire in my life
You could be strong
Carry my weight
Be my savior, be my fate
You could be every joy that 
Love and heaven brings
You could be my angel, baby
You could be my everything

And all these blinds of mercy
That I have sadly drawn
Are the only things that I have
Ever learned to count upon 

So all the light the darkness
Let’s me see
It's just another empty laugh
I guess, the joke’s on me

You Could Be My Everything

Fire the engines
Close my eyes
Point me east
Clear the skies
I don’t care
Or need to explain
Bring me down
In Poughkeepsie rain

Build your dream
Become a ghost
Say your goodbyes
Say you’ll miss me most
Wrap yourself
In California chains
I’ll be sleeping
Through Poughkeepsie rain

East coast girl
Hudson Valley child
Living so large
In gold coast style
Years go bye
Time is a train
Springtime comes
With Poughkeepsie rain

So give the world
Your charm and soul
Don’t be scared 
Should we grow old
I made my peace
When I chose to remain
Just east of the Hudson
In Poughkeepsie rain
East of the Hudson
In Poughkeepsie rain
Over the walkway
In Poughkeepsie rain

Poughkeepsie Rain

A song about the one who got away in The Case Of The Mystery Vibes.

Mystery Vibes

Momma’s in the kitchen
Daddy’s tending to his shine
And, girl, my heart is itching
Still wondering if you’ll be mine

All the things you say
Make me think you want me too
I asked you home to stay
Now you’re acting so aloof
Momma thinks you love me
But it could go either way
Daddy says it’s what they call
A jump ball

Grandma’s on the front porch
Sipping on a glass of tea
She say’s I’m carrying a hot torch
And, honey, it’s so plain to see

Love will come in time
Or love won’t come at all
It’s a hill you gotta climb
And either way you gonna fall
But, son, she says you never know
Love can be sublime
If it’s meant to be at all
It’s a jump ball

Come into my arms girl
Let me feel you close to me
Be my lucky charm girl
And let love be our destiny

Love me inside out
Baby, make my dreams come true
Let there be no doubt
That you love me through and through
But baby please don’t tell me
That you’re not sure if you do
That our love’s really after all
Just a jump ball

Jump Ball

We raced in orbits
With the moon’s embrace
Three decades strong
Through time and space
Never counting the days
Just keeping the pace

Old gray stars 
They’re not meant to last
They fade with the night
Now part of the past
Old gray stars
Like you and I
Blazing through seasons
As time danced in the sky

We lived in the mountains
Under evergreen pines
You held your dreams close
While I fell over mine
We put them together
Tried to push back time

Old gray stars 
They’re not meant to last
They fade with the night
Now part of the past
Old gray stars
Like you and I
Blazing through seasons
As time danced in the sky

Lost in the unknown
Where destinies blend
Caught in the mystery
As time twists and bends

Old gray stars 
They’re not meant to last
They fade with the night
Now part of the past
Old gray stars
Like you and I
Blazing through seasons
As time danced in the sky
Old gray stars

I Got Two

A song about losing your way while navigating through a teetering relationship.
       Dave Bell of Blue Attitude played guitar, and I added bass and vocal.

You're Driving Me Out Of Your Mind

Written in 1976 and recorded in 2023...

She talks in code
Likes Thunder Road
But she doesn’t look my way
And it’s just another day

But I play my songs when she’s in the room
Yeah I can’t seem to shake that radio loose
And who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce

Her dress doesn’t sway
Like Mary’s they say
But she’s everything to me
And that’s alright with me

But I play my songs when she’s in the room
Yeah I can’t seem to shake that radio loose
And who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce

She likes to walk
Past my front porch
But maybe love ain’t for free
And I know that he would agree

But I play my songs when she’s in the room
Yeah I can’t seem to shake that radio loose
And who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce

And who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce
Yeah who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce
Oh who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce

I'm Not Bruce

LYRICS
-------
[INTRO]
Hey, you in the mirror! Come on and...

[A1]
Rise and shine
There’s a new day beginning
Rise and shine
Get out and get sprinting
There’s no time to waste
So rev-up some haste
Just pump up your bravado and ready, set, go!

[A2]
Oh, rise and shine
The world is not waiting
Rise and shine
Be bold and embrace it
Unlock your potential
And become presidential 
Come on! Rise and shine

[B]
Don’t worry if you feel a bit crumpled and broken
And the future looks bleak because the present is woeful
Once you get moving
You get things improving and then, hey presto!
It’s go, go, go

[A3]
So rise and shine
And keep fearlessly striving
Rise and shine
And dazzle like lightning
Get out there and play, now
It’s a thrilling new day, now
Come on! Rise and shine

[SOLO]

Repeat [B], [A3]

[TAG]
Yeah, get out there and play
It’s a thrilling new day
So rise, rise, rise and shine

Rise And Shine
