A request from a dear friend whom I have known since I was 17. 
We have shared some wonderful times through the years, on the Isle of Arran, Edinburgh and France. She is a constant light, and I give thanks for her friendship.
Recorded this morning, guitar and vocal together, then added some mouthie

Carey ( Joni Mitchell )

The song idea all started with Toney's latest car insurance bill, went up $150 in one clip; no accidents nor infractions, THUS.....
GREEDY SUM-GUNS
V1
Well, you know this country is run by banks and corporations
Nickel and dimin’ us on top ‘a all the rules and regulations
Now, I got my automobile insurance bill today
A hundred-fifty bucks more and all I do is pay an’ pay

[Chorus]
Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole
Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul
And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies
Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history

V2
Took a little trip to the grocery store, twenty bucks more than the week before
Now, the county tax collector, he’s ‘a knockin’ down my door
And I got a stack ‘a doctor bills, I’ll be dead before I can pay
Then they'll take my kids’ inheritance; that's the American way, yeah

[Chorus]
Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole
Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul
And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies
Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history

V3
And I’m prayin’ for the day when the pyramid topples to the ground
Prayin’ for the day the one-percent can no longer be found
‘Cuz there’s enough gold and Bitcoin to go around for everyone
And I heard it through the grapevine the dirty rats are on the run

[Chorus]
Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole
Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul
And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies
Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history

[Music]

[Chorus]
Yeah, those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole
Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul
And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies
Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone
Bygone
Bygone history!

GREEDY SUM-GUNS

stranger lovers in a strange world

If You Go Home Before I Do =, Gene Jumper, ( Original ) Norm Evans, on Pedel Steel Guitar (Mastered with Aurora at 100pct)

Feels good to upload another song! I recently moved into an old house, close to a river, it has character, I love it cause I put my old baldwin on it's original wood floors it has in the living room, love the acoustics especially with higher ceilings, I'm so thankful:) A new beginning. 

I recorded this live take late last night, close to 2am, got it my first full take, which is always nice!
I wrote this song back in 2021. An experience definitely inspired this song. Things can sure feel like heaven for awhile, then there's that tough surprise, after giving and sacrificing so much. I hope you enjoy this song, thanks so much for listening!:) 

Driving With The Moon

You couldn't sleep
I'm driving with the moon to see you 
Up your driveway
My headlights are turned off they can't see
Park along the backside through the gate cross the deck like before
Thunderstorms inside of me every time you crack open the door
And there you are
My lucky eyes

And all is better now 
You opened my heart
Somehow somehow
All is better now 
You opened my heart
Somehow somehow

Right before the dawn
I don't wanna leave but I know I have to
One more hand squeeze I finally gotta let go it hurts me
Looking back at you again that beautiful silhouette oh I adore
Driving home the world is gone one track mind there's nothing I want more
And there you are
Perfect daydream

And all is better now 
You opened my heart 
Somehow somehow 
All is better now 
You opened my heart 
Somehow somehow

Instrumental 

And I am ready now
You closed up your heart
Somehow somehow
Oh God, save me now

Driving With The Moon (Original Song Live)

A little song called Glow I wrote around 2018 timeframe. It's one of those that came together over time, especially the chorus, it was one of those back burner unfinished songs, but certainly never forgotten. I've always enjoyed playing this melody.  I made a few minor changes not long ago, with the arrangement and a few lyrics, and it really feels complete...finally. Ever meet someone where they put something in you that you feel like you can do anything?  I hope you enjoy this live take I did the other night on my old Baldwin. Thanks for listening:) All your support means so much, thank you!:) 

Glow 

I love your electric curls
I take in your midnight gaze
You shoot me that cute bright grin
And I escape a dark maze
I'm normally really shy
But with you 
I don't hesitate
I take your hand 
And run with the sky

I feel like a superhero
I got a grip that won't let go
Burning right into a lifetime
Everything you do is sublime
You're all I wanna know
Look at that Sunrise...Glow!

Out of this fluorescent world
Into eyes that shine so true
You've held my heart through it all 
It's always been only you 
Our harmony reaches high 
You and me 
We just elevate 
I'll keep you safe
Get ready to fly 

I feel like a superhero 
I got a grip that won't let go
Burning right into a lifetime
Everything you do is sublime
You're all I wanna know 
Look at that Sunset...Glow!

Instrumental 

I feel like a superhero
I got a grip that won't let go 
Burning right into a lifetime
Everything you do is sublime
You're all I wanna know
Look at that full Moon...Glow! Ahhhh 

I love your electric curls
I take in your midnight gaze
You shoot me that cute bright grin
And I escape a dark maze
Every time

Glow (Original Song Live)

a little summer song  for y'all
it's a naive plea for world peace  using the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High as the vehicle. 
I'm not sure how effective the exercise is, but I sure do like the movie

(ps full disclosure...my Mama never said," It's nice to be nice to the nice"...the line was spoken by  Major Frank Burns on a  MASH episode..so kudos to the screenwriter there)

No Shirt No Shoes No Dice

No Shirt No Shoes No Dice 
Learn it Know it Live it
The mantra is precise
Dress code ignorance brings
Fast food sacrifice
No Shirt No Shoes No Dice

No Weapons No Wantings No War
Learn it Know it Live it
It's all I'm hoping for
Why can't we love one another
It's a simple thing for sure
No Weapons No Wantings No War

Cause your time is my time
It's our time let us be
These burdens and these battles 
Become high school history 
All we need are some tasty waves and a cool buzz and we'll be fine
Just like holy Jeff Spicoli and Mr. Hand
Find some peace in these Fast Times

Break

No Shirt No Shoes No Dice
Learn it Know it Live it
My mama said, "It's nice to be nice to the nice"
"Totally awesome!" ..."Alright Hamilton!"
Disarm that dolt with a beverage device
No Shirt No Shoes No Dice
No Shirt No Shoes No Dice


lyrics  HotR/ Cameron Crowe
music HotR

No Shirt  No Shoes No Dice

Live recording, Kenny on vocals and guitar - Laura on bass
Slow love ballad
