Tortoise and The Hare


It’s not too often I get to wear a hat. Last night’s gig provided headwear. This picture is to prove that Souther Cal really has farms. We were playing in a tent in a cornfield. Good times for sure.

Saturday is turning into the day for percolating song ideas. So far I’ve been keeping it simple with just one guitar track plus bass and drums. It’s pretty good practive for my drumming, too. I’ve been playing them since high school but I only got good enough to record about two or three years ago. It’s like the . I just kept on banging ’em.

229

Woo hoo! I’m down a pound from last week. Not much of an accomplishment I know because it’s easy to go up or down a lb.
I’ll take it, though. I know I don’t look any different because I checked myself in the mirror. The trick is to see is the trend continues. It’s not going to be some crash . My goal is to weigh 179 in a year. That’s just 1 lb/week. You know what the killer is? I need some new clothes. I tried some on. There’s no way I’m going pay for those giant rags when I’ve got a closet full of stuff that’s too small. I need to get my style in the gym.

Me And Tommy Lee

It’s that special day. So, hot off the press is “Me And “. Special mention goes out to my good buddy Steve Riesner. We came up with the title a couple years back and this was the chance to make it happen.

There’s supposed to be a scroll bar right below this paragraph.The song loads automatically and all you gotta do is click. I know it works on Safari on a Mac. I’ll start checking out other browsers. Eventually I’ll get a custom site up with proper downloads.

ME AND TOMMY LEE

Mon’s got a new husband
So I live with my cousin
I don’t like my room much at all
I gave her my blessing
But now I’m confessing
I didn’t mean what I said at the mall

I took a test to find out what is wrong
And now I know there’s someone just like me
Me and Tommy Lee

I sat by his coy pond
My problems had moved on
Until security came after me
Hey Tommy I need ya
We’re so alike I could be ya
We’ll have a beer and a chat about destiny, oh

I took a test to find out what is wrong
And now I know there’s someone just like me
Me and Tommy Lee

I thought I was all alone
We are not completely unknown, yeah

I guess that test wasn’t guaranteed
But I still think there’s someone just like me
Me and Tommy Lee, Me and Tommy Lee
Me and Tommy Lee, Me and Tommy Lee
Me and Tommy

There’s got to be a way to make him understand
If we could sit and talk man to man
I really want to know what he would do
These are the lengths my Mom has pushed me to, yeah

Me and Tommy Lee
I understand him
He understands me
Me and Tommy Lee
Me and
I wanna go home
In my own room
I miss you Mom

Lease on Life

or at least on my studio. It expires at the end of January. Sounds far off. But it could come up fast. Already looking around at different situations to rent. If anyone hears of someone looking for another someone just like me please connect us.

I think the new tune is done. I got into beat correcting the drums. I’m not the most solid drummer. It sounds great now but it does add a couple hours of pure tedium. The will make up for that.

Feeling it

I’m singing right now. I’ve got something bubbling up. Kind of writing and singing together. As in singing one line and then thnking, ‘gee, what would be good next’. Hey, I read works like that sometimes.

Thanks for the responses to my email blast. It’s the first I’ve promoted the blog. Feels great to hear from you. I can tell you already keeping up with a song a week is going to get rough sometimes. This one’s got the bass, drums and 1/3 of the vocal. I sure did like it when last week’s song got done.

Go Cat Go!

! The Life And Times Of . It’s Perkins biographay. Amazon.com had a used one for $6. Carl’s still got me under his rockabilly spell. He also wrote Dixie Fried. Kentucky Headhunters do a great version that’s on youtube. Carl’s jamming with them.

Two all nighters this week related to scoring. I’m not as young as I used to be. The bounceback from such behavior gets a little harder each time. But it’s a beautiful morning in Santa Monica and I’m relaxing outside my favorite coffeshop. It’s OK to have a croissant in the morning.

There’s some free time right after this breakfast to start the next WS track. The Perkins bio better not arrived until after I’ve got this song done ; – )

Peace, Love and Understanding

Carl Perkins…

…is the hero of Jackson, TN, our hometown. I never gave much thought or respect to Carl cause I wasn’t into . and and were for me. It’s hard to be a prophet in your own hometown, I guess.

So, guess who’s a major nut suddenly? I can’t stop youtubing him. He was smoking hot. Besides he also wrote . I totally stand corrected on that one. I’ve been singing Blue Suede Shoes througout the day. Some of my friends love it. One is appalled.

I always loved the Beatles, I just couldn’t understand why they recorded 5 CP songs. Well, duh. It’s cause he rocks the house. God rest his soul. Here’s to .

I Wanna play the bass

It’s a day off from thinking about writing the next song. But I did get the feeling to do something where the bass plays power chords in the verses. Very busy on the same webisode. Several different people to please including legal departments. It’s better than not working!

Weight

The truth is I weighed 230 this morning. If I can drop a pound every week when there’s a new song posted this could add up to some serious over time. There’s never time . Or so it seems. I mean it really is hard. I’ve got a packed schedule all day. But, this week is gonna happen for sure. No super dramatic gestures. Just a pound in a week.
