Wow i like it. It would be a pleasure for me to make a remix of the song. Are you interested?

My Boy Jack

The lively melodeon-friendly tune 'The Broken Rifle' written by supremo squeezer John Kirkpatrick (copywrite Looking Glass Music Ltd.).  A great tune to play on the box!  Played here on a Hohner Erica in G.

Rolling down the river

This is the sequel to "The Man Who Killed".

They are both part of a fake story I came up with. Here's how this one goes.

After the killing of The Man On Boothill (basically mean the man that's already dead, because Boot Hill is an old term for graveyard) he spends the rest of his strength and life (we're not sure if he's alive or dead) hunting down his family's murder. His life being taken as a sheriff, he reincarnates as the world's baddest outlaw in order to avenge his old life. This takes place in Tombstone, Arizona.
lyrics
I've paid my crimes, was a matter of time
I've drunken my sins, I bought my lies
I wear on my sleeve, a conscience of thieves
I'll give you my doubts, and steal what you dream

This is Tombstone's game. My final resting place

I've handled my dues, buried payments of proof
I've wielded my gun, it's all that I love
You point me to lay in the hole of my grave
You thought you could kill the man on boot hill

This is Tombstone's game. My final resting place

We've all made our choice, yes we've all made our vows
But my work isn't finished until you're gunned down
In the name of my grave, in the dirt we'll all lay
I will bring you a home in God's Acre of bones
This town is my bane and this bane is my life
So I'll rise from the ground, oh I'll show you my knife
When your horse turns to dust and your heart turns a stone
We will meet once again in this garden of bones

When I had a sole with that star that you loathed
You shot me down like the coward of town
And off in my stead my grit turned to lead
From the butt of my Colt, you'll feel my revolt

This is Tombstones game. My final resting place

From the land of my greed, on this carnage I rode
In the name of my tomb, you will reap what I sow
I've not made it on luck, you cannot break my will
I'm not too tough to die, I'm just too tough to kill
There's no refuge this town, for the men I gun down
Not no Church you can pray, not no pool you can drown
When your horse turns to ash and your heart turns a stone
I will build you a crypt on God's Acre of bones

The Man On Boothill

A Voice Is Calling

A haunting tale about the demise of the fishing industry and the strength of those who continue to devote themselves to a life on the water.  (Thanks to the inspirational rendition performed by Four'n'Aft.)
