LYRICS
“Meet the new boss… same as the old boss”
Don’t leave your fate to destiny
Influence the coin toss
Don’t live you life in misery
Go for the gain. Avoid the loss.
Not just for you
But, for those beyond your point-of-view

“Meet the new boss… same as the old boss”
Elevate your fate
And balance the scales
Calming the irate
Putting wind in your sails
Not just for you
But, for those beyond your point-of-view

ABOUT THE SONG
C
C / E / F / G / C

Written and recorded October 8, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It starts with a line from The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again as it fit in so well with the title of the album The New Old. Don’t be fooled. You have free will. Please choose your destiny while considering the impact on everyone… even those beyond your point-of-view — “the who”.

LYRICS
When we started to count, we went from 0 to 1
By the way, this was way, way back in the day
Then in the modern day, we found a way
To make music play
Putting bits and bytes to websites
In binary… in fact, back to the very…
0’s and 1’s

Come in from the cold
It’s the new old
Just when you thought out was sold
Come in for some new old

[I can’t get no satisfaction. She’s a daytripper, yeah!]

Can you see
Paper comes from a tree
Moses’ new commandments were carved in some very old stone
Our new condiments were made from mature… more than an instance
Even the telephone, TV and computer come from regurgitated ideas
So, before making a stance…
On creativity…
Before raising fears
Let’s see how much original
Is left in us all

Besides, a zero isn’t much of anything
Let’s try something new… invigorating

ABOUT THE SONG
Dub Step

Written and recorded on October 7, 2012 in West Chester, PA  and is the theme song for the album. It is pretty much a given that we are impacted by the events that have come before us. Instead of trying to avoid it… why not celebrate it?

People Getting Grooved at the Paoli, PA Blues Festival

LYRICS
I went to a blues festival
But, it was too sad
Then, I saw some heavy metal
They were too, too mad

May the music move you
Any which way
May the music move you
Every which way
So long as you are grooved

When I went to see some county
It was paved over
Then I went to see classic rock
It was a poor pour [Fab-4] cover (let it flow)

May the music move you
Any which way
May the music move you
Every which way
So long as you are grooved

ABOUT THE SONG
E / A / G / E
E / D

Written and recorded in Paoli, PA and West Chester, PA on October 6, 2012. I stared thinking about the term BluesFest. It kind-of felt like an oxymoron. Ya, know… “Festival Of Sadness”. So, it’s a tongue-in-cheek song about music moving people. Whatever music moves you, may you be moved. In fact, when it’s all said and done… I hope you are grooved from the experience.
