bookmark_borderIrene’s A B#$%&

This song is based on Hurricane Irene. I was suppose to play a Bob Marley festival… but, it was canceled due to Atlantic City being under a mandatory evacuation. When I explained my situation to a fan, he said, “Irene’s a bitch.”

Capo 4
F#

Ole Lady leery
Left her lantern in the shed
When the how kicked it over
She winked her I and said,
“If ya know what i mean
My names Irene
Gonna be gnarly
Sorry, no Marely.”

So, we played all night
Into the day
Play, play, play
We played into the rain
The spirit will remain

A tidal surge
Irie sea
Love splurge
See irie
Rainbow

bookmark_borderThe Hippie Blues

inspired by Mike Garrity, David Hawkins, Eric Laos, Jayar Bass and all the other souls at the party

I’ve seen the strangest things
These past nights
The brightest lights
Happening hues
Giving life clues

I’ve heard the strangest things
These last days
Bands on the banks
Playing the hippie blues
Catching the early rays
With a community born
From love and harmony

They’ve become kin to me
We’re starting to see
What we can do
When we care to share

Everyone sings:
We’re happy to be
In each other’s company
To catch the thrill
Of the soul spill
