Thankyou! The song title made me think about the way my older brother skated.He played hockey up until he was 86.Lived by a lake and skated on it every winter too. He went to the big rink in the sky when he was 89.But man he was "A Smooth One"

@user-543408605 
Awesome., always nice to hear what inspiration triggers a song 
Wow 86 and still playing hockey 🏒 
Brilliant.. I fizzled out a few years back.. working as a diesel mechanic for heavy equipment at the steel mills has taken a toll on the old back 

But I’m still crawling around under 18 wheelers 
and or fixing Tesla’s for my
family members who were to cheap to get the fluids & batteries etc replaced at a shop

😊😊😊

Defending The State Of Peace

LYRICS:

We know the feeling,
When you realize she's gone,
It leaves you reeling,
And it feels so wrong

 That's when you need something to believe in,
 And when you know it's over,
Anyone anytime anywhere,
 But it's never over, no it's never over,
 It's never over, no it's never over

And God said on the second day,
 Let her come back and say,
 Baby let's talk about it

 But when she comes to see you,
 You will have seen through,
 Then you never quit

Your love is still bright as the sun,
 You can make it up to me,
 Black Sky storm rolling in,
 You're exactly where you wanna be 

That's when you need something to believe in,
 And when you know it's over,
Anyone anytime anywhere,
But it's never over, it's never over, no it's never over.

It's never over (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Xzaviar)

Tender Hands

"The legend of Samson revolves around his incredible, divinely-granted strength, which was linked to his Nazirite vow to keep his hair uncut. Betrayed by his lover Delilah, who was paid by the Philistines to discover the source of his power, Samson's hair was cut while he slept. This act stripped him of his strength, leading to his capture, blinding, and imprisonment by the Philistines. However, Samson's hair grew back, and with a final prayer for strength, he brought down the temple pillars, killing himself and his enemies. "


Eh... fuck that... I'll stay wimp thanks

Thankfully I have my health and the hair had to go as I didn't want to look like Francis of Assissi 😆


Lyrics
Oh Samson power
Hair too long
Oh hippie follicles
Messy and Long
Should I miss the hair
I guess not now
To Baldy Paddy
Sing it loud

So much for dredds
Good scalp was judge
mood Marley tempered
Baldy nudge
Is it old age
Ha! Say soldier phase
Organic bin
Send hair to save

Oh Samson power
Hair was long
Oh hippie follicles
Messy and Long
Why fight nature
Nature is you
Hair or not
There's strenght in clue

Oh Samson power
Hair too long
Oh hippie follicles
Messy and Long
Should I miss the hair
I guess not now
To Baldy Paddy
Sing it loud

Baldy Paddy

The Foolish Dreamer

On a planet resembling Earth, in a Galaxy far, far away 
There were creatures resembling humans of two pigmentations: one red and one blue 
And the red ones instructed the blue ones that there is one word that THEY must never say. 
And they will be ostracized, subject to violence or otherwise harmed if they do. 

You see, one or two centuries prior, the blue ones held red ones enslaved 
And there was a word that the Blue ones would use to refer to the red ones possessed
And though they had long since been freed, in lieu of the justice they craved 
They insisted the blue ones should never again breathe that word, not even in jest

And the blues ones at first were quite gladly compliant, at first they completely concurred
But the red ones adopted this word as a term of endearment, not a hideous curse!  
And now and again some poor Blue would get loose with its tongue and then out popped that word! 
And red ones who heard it were given free license to beat the blue or something worse! 

Even the most rich and powerful Blue ones if ever that word did they say
Were forced to make public apologies, tearfully beg for forgiveness, repentant 
that’s just the trouble with pendulums swinging too wide can the pendulums sway 
What started as simply a politic gesture was simmering now as resentment 

Words are just noises you make to express an idea you may have at the time
Our primitive ancestors, warning of predators, made noises just to alert you 
Always remember the words that are used in that world famous nursery rhyme:
Sticks and Stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you 

Most Blues were fine with not saying the word, its insulting so why not refrain 
And all of that’s true but it’s rather short sighted and frankly it misses the point  
The point is that blue ones were forced to comply or else suffer the punishment’s pain 
And when rules don’t apply to both red and blue equally, blue noses get out of joint 

So small bands of blues started saying the word in their home and amongst other blues 
And the building resentment would over time lead to a war pitting race against race 
Only slaves are subjected to punishment over expressing unpopular views 
Free people use any words that they want to:  a warning from deep outer space!

The Word You Dare Not Say

Free yo' soul

Lyrics:

A little bird told me you had left this town
And no one knew where you had gone
So many rumors everywhere
They all talked about you, when you weren't there

But little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Sharp tongues on the little birds
They spoke very loudly, made sure they were heard
"What have you done?"
"Why did you leave?"
While you were hiding, the little birds screamed

Little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Fake little birds.....

Fake little birds....

Fake Little Birds

TITLE: BREAKING STRINGS
__________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
He spins a web with a velvet thread
Soft words hiding the traps he’s bred
Every step’s a mine
Every laugh’s a blade
A crooked smile where trust decayed

(Pre-chorus)
But the mirror cracks
The truth it screams
No more dancing in his schemes

(Chorus)
Cut the strings
Let him tumble
Watch the tower start to crumble
No more puppets
No more show
Breaking the strings
Watch him go

(Verse 2)
His lies are shadows
Stretching tall
They twist and twist
Till you’re small
But light exposes every twist
Every turn
Watch his fire die
Watch it burn

(Bridge)
He feeds on doubt
On second guesses
But your strength grows as his mess confesses
No more falling
No more game
Stand your ground
Call his name

(Chorus)
Cut the strings
Let him tumble
Watch the tower start to crumble
No more puppets
No more show
Breaking the strings
Watch him go

Relational Decay

Breaking Strings

I had just released a tune I called "Christianized" It is my original with Charlie as my influence.
So I thought why not do  " A Smooth One" A Benny Goodman hit from around 1941 that Charlie Christian had a big part in. Some actually give him credit for coming up with that for Benny. I arranged and played a couple things different since I wanted to lay the rhythm and bass first with my looper to extend the whole thing thing as long as I wanted it. The drummer is my fingers on my zoom drum pads so if you wonder why he does a couple goofy things , I was having a beer when I did that HA! hA !

A Smooth One

Fell in love with Guitar sounds since I first heard Duane Eddy twanging out Rebel Rouser. Then I heard  Chet Atkins Hi Fi in Focus album. This was back around 1960.Me and my brother Cliff got guitars as soon as we could and started learning ourselves to play some tunes. Now about 60 years later I am still loving it. I lost Cliff last year but his jazz loving influence is still present in my playing. You can just never stop learning new stuff and ways of playing when you love the sound a guitar makes. My son Bryce also fell in love with guitar and he also is a fine singer. Il be also posting some songs that have been able play along with him.I  just hope there are people who will enjoy the music I play and post, thankyou Al Gibbs
