LYRICS
There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining
There’s no denying dieing
Might as well take it all in
See the sea
Hear the here
Be the me
Without fear
There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining
There’s no denying dieing
Might as well take it all in
Scent of sea breeze
Touch a memory
Forecast a dream
Spirit team
Shore Songwriting
There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining
There’s no denying dieing
Might as well take it all in
Take a bite
Out of the de-bitch sand which
Will cure your spite
Despite of
Take a bite out of the de=bitch sand which
Stuffed with love
It has been quite some time since I’ve posted about the Tunesmith Adventures. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been thoroughly enjoying the audiences. I have been. Though I would like to film more of the adventures, live subjects can be tricky.
Anyway, the audiences have been great. One of my favorite times was in the Spring of 2011. I was sitting at the corner of Ridge and Butler in Ambler, Pennsylvania. A school bus with tinted windows stopped at the light in front of me. I thought the bus was empty and just kept playing my heart away. All of a sudden, a bunch of the windows opened and all these kids started screaming and clapping. Wow! What a thrill.
Nick Does a Flip While I Play Jigging Music
Speaking of thrills, there seems to be an outbreak of people inspired to do *human tricks* whenever I start playing my jigging music. The Spring of 2012 has brought many a thrill seeker. Several interesting characters have co-operated in West Chester, Pennsylvania to bring great entertainment to the people. There is a guy that likes to do bike tricks over my head… and another fellow, Nick, who likes to do flips and jumps off the adjacent wall… sometimes it will just be a group of children ranging in ages from 2 to 92 that breakout into a spontaneous dance troupe. You all are more fun than Vaudeville, a sideshow, and a 3-ring circus all rolled into one.
I thank each and every one of you. From those who come up because they feel compelled to offer me money, to those who roll down their windows shouting out with a wave and a smile — THANK YOU!
About The Soundtracks
These recordings were made in Atlantic City, Ocean City and Wildwood using a Roland Boss Br-600. The two hardest parts of engineering the recordings were:
1) wind protection. The recordings of the ocean were difficult to shield the microphones from wind noise. There was a constant breeze at each location. Several attempts had to be trashed. Eventually, I figured out that I had to leave the recorder in its case in order to protect the on-board condenser mic’s.
2) moving. The recordings on the boardwalk were made while I walked. Holding the recorder, moving and trying to keep up with tram-car were all challenges.
The most nerve racking was making the recording in the casino… as I’m not sure whether you are allowed to record in a casino?
