I was warming up with a little guitar playing at Love Park in Philadelphia, when a lady passing by gave me a thumb’s up. This song is about the feeling you get when you give (or receive) a positive message.

It’s O.K.
OK, OK?
It’s O.K.
Don’t let ’em darken your day
It’s O.K.
OK, OK?
It’s O.K.
Don’t let ’em dampen your day
It’s O.K.
OK, OK?
It’s O.K.
The sun is on the cusp
The end of the tunnel
Freeing soul and mental
Letting light shine on us

If you think you’re stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
Retrace
The steps of your future
To see how you make it out
It’s far-out
How you can see
What steps to take
There’s no doubt
You can get free
Make what you make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
Create the flow… go!

This song was written and recorded on the streets of Philadelphia… while the Streets Department jackhammers the street… and after having a conversation with a scientist about the shape of things to come.

Capo 4
Play like an Em then E and A strings to 9th fret.
Your mother should have named you Richard
And, like a disease
You spread like a weed
A natural Dick Weed
Concede
You’re a dick weed
Dick Weed, indeed
Capo 3
A string play D
Add pinky high A
Spewing goo
Hatred anew
Is that what I want to do?
Don’t become that
Which I despise
Less sober
More Wise
Don’t become that
Which I despise
I try to realize
When it’s all over
… rather remain
Love and the same

Outside the Cage of the Nasty Old Man
aka Cigar Butt
Capo 2
F#
Hold low E string with ringfinger… move index finger over B, G and D strings.
Nasty old man
Smoking on his butt
Hard to tell
If he’s straight from hell
Well,
Not that harde
No, not that hard at all
No knows
Cugino’s
Butts from around the world
“Get on out, Boy!
Fuck your cigar.
Get on out, Boy!
Fuck your guitar”
Nasty old man
Picking his nose
While he knows
Nothing of heart
A nasty old man
No one can stand
Just lives to hurt
Turn to ashes
Turn to dirt
Capo 6
Bb
I really hate to catch you lying again
Lien’agin’
The lion roars
I really hate to catch you lying again
See
You just did again

This song was written on-the-fly after Joel Roberts tuned the guitar to play one of his songs. I left it tuned that way and tried to play. Performed on the streets of West Chester, PA.

Em
You’re way to wacky
Not to survive
You’re the one always trying…
You always strive to survive
Stay alive
Way outside the norm
You’ll weather their storm
Let them say what they want to say about you
You’re the one whose heart is true
You have equal rights
Not to be equal
Equality doesn’t mean neutral

When I asked
If you’d dance up a storm
I figured you knew I meant figuratively
Now, literally
We’re in a downpour
Let’s dance some more
