I’d say
It’s not that far away
Long as
I don’t go astray
… not that far away

On our way
Supper’s Ready
Blessed day
Hold n’ steady

It’s not that far away

It’s not that far away
Long as
I don’t go astray

There’s only one place I know
Where the land is green
And, the sky is blue

There’s only one place I know
With a menagerie scene
And, love for you

Pour the Milky Way
It’s not that far…
Third house from our star

We call Her
Home Sweet Home
Menagerie
Where people roam
Home Sweet Home

Humbleness
Modestly, I gotta say
Er, a…
A beautiful place
To breed our race
Via
Her Graciousness

The Rollover

C / F / Am
Let’s go!
While tomorrow turns to yesterday

Where will you be
When it turns anti-climatic
Where will you be
For the last act
Where will you be
For the curtain call
Where will you be
When the credits scroll

Do you care to be here at all?

How do you think they will get here
Do you think they will fall from the sky
How do you think they will get here
Do you think they will rise from the dust

Will we try
We must
Will we try
We must

Come on
Join the party
Come on
Join the show
Come on
Let’s go

C (and variations, thereof)

I had a vision of some fissures… and geysers…

Holy drinks
Water

The fountains
Spout
The water
Out

From the dirt
An alert

Will the rising sea level cause unusual events?
I mean if the water rises in such a fashion that Mother Nature will be fracking the natural gas, wouldn’t that be a bad thing? Should we get the gas out now?

bookmark_borderFlower Child Sprouts

Inspired by the moonflower seeds that sprouted into the sun… growing more tasty than alfalfa, bean or others.

Written sittin’ on the wall at the corners of Market and High streets in downtown West Chester… while sittin’ next to some sprouts… and before ya knew it, they were sprouting everywhere. A beautiful thing — a flower child patch sprouting.

Quarter fairy, barely
The heat is no match for a sprout
No doubt

Ya play it funked up blues

A / C / D

Both near and far
All the others
Always wanted to play
Allison’s guitar

Everyday
In every way
That’s all you would hear them say
“If I could only play…
Everything would be OK”

Ever since the very first day
All I wanted to do is play, play, play
Play with Allison’s guitar

All I do is hope and pray
Each and every… every day
Just want to play
With her guitar

Ever since the very first day
All they could say
Is how they want to play
With Allison’s guitar

I want to play with
Allison’s guitar
No matter how bizarre
Want to play with
Allison’s guitar

bookmark_borderBorn With It

Intro:
She asked, “How did you learn to shift energy? Did you read up on it?”

Music
It’s kind-of a rhythm mix between Venus and Won’t Get Fooled Again.

Born With It

Em . . . . . . Am
That’s how it is
Em . . . . . . Am
When you’re born with it
That’s how it is
When you’re born with it

C . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Em
I fall to me knees and pray
C . . . . . . . . . . . Em
Thankful for every day
A hall to the free. Not prey
Thankful for everyday

Not sure that shift
Is the right word
More like the sun
Than the moon

I guess we’ll find out
And, way too soon….
And, way to soon….

More like the sun
Then the moon
A fusion
Not illusion
A space time
Rhyme

A fusion
Not illusion
No shadow
Will follow

bookmark_borderJimi Hendrix Tribute Music Festival in Atlantic City

E7#9
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny, but I don’t know why
. . G . . . . . . . . . . . . . A
‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky

A . . G . . . . E . . . . . . . .A . . . . G . . . . E
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view

While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

I started dreamin’ about playing the Boneyard fest … and it went sumpin’ like this:

Unplugged
. Purple Haze

Add Hammond B3
. All Along The Watch Tower

Start to medley-ize borh
Add / switch over to electric guitars

Plugged
. All Along The Watch Tower

Add more electro-JIMI-techno

. Purple Haze

Full out medley-ize botrh

NOTES:
ideally, we’d add musicians and build as we cycle
Everyone on-board by the end

the kinda tricky part I just started playin’ with… going back n’ forth in the medly-izer

this isn’t quite right… first try, but… perhaps the spirit of it:

Jessi’s Song: Audio and Video Recordings / Free Downloads

E major
She walked down the steps
Then, stood next to me
A beautiful sight
She was simply lovely

A major
When she snuggled in close
It was beyond fantasy

G major
The Scent of he hair

A
The gape of her neck

E
I’m aware
(I’m aware, I’m aware, I’m very aware.)

G
The sweetest of lips
A
Her figure. Her hips.
E
All right there
Alright there
On a tear

2.
She sat on a a stool
Pulled in tighter to me
It was obvious
Obvious to see
It was meant…
It was meant to be
And, the stares
The stares at her
But,

3.
Sat upon my lap
On the back of a pick up truck
What the…
And, she could jam
Man could she jam
