Reunion

Posted on August 10, 2015August 11, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Heard people say you can never go home again
But when I get there they say, “Where’ve ya been?”
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

No surprise when ya look in their eyes
A familiar face… you realize
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

There’s nothing like finding a long lost friend
Except for finding a long lost friend
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

Sorry to say some have passed away
But it’s OK… we’ll meet again some day
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

LYRICS
This is just about as country….
This is just about as country….
This is just about as country as it gets
(never forget, no regrets)

Plenty of fresh air
County fair’s right there
Backwater pleasure
Penn’s hardwood treasure

No four-way stop
Barely a single cop
Do the lights turn red?
Little town… bigger in my head

Blank Minqua squaw
Little in us all
Chinklacomoose
Lanterned caboose

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded in Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

A live 1-track stereo recording made on a park bench in downtown Clearfield.

Chinklacamoose, spelled many ways, was an old Native American village located at what is now Clearfield, Pennsylvania. The village existed from the early 1st century up until around the mid to late 17th century. The village was about halfway along the Great Shamokin Path, which started at the old Indian village of Shamokin (present day Sunbury), along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River west to its ending point at the village of Kittanning.

Chinklacamoose kept its name up until 1804, when it became the first township for Clearfield County. Only three years later, the township began to split up into smaller townships, like Beccaria, Bradford, Lawrence and Pike by 1813, when Chinklacamoose Township no longer existed and the name was lost to history.

4th Of July Brandywine River Jam

Posted on July 6, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Do you know about the flow
And do you know where to go
Where the wine flows like water
And love? You can say I caught her

Chorus
Save me a lil’ sliver
Of jammin’ on the river
Jam along the river

It sure does feel fine
Along the Brandywine
Catch a whiff there
There’s something in the air

Chorus

There’s dancing most of the time
And the melodic flow of rhyme
A party from suck to dawn
‘tellin ya, ya can’t go wrong

Chorus

Tornado Warning

Posted on July 1, 2015July 1, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
I heard the man on the radio say
Tornado Warning!
The storming is coming
Right for you
Better do what you do
Tornado Warning!

Do what you do when you see one
RUN!!!

I heard the man on the radio say
There’s a tornado headed our way
Tornado Warning!
Warning tornado
Like a rotten tomato
Thrown at our picnic just for fun
Time to fold camp. Time to run!

Do what you do when you see one
RUN!!!

LYRICS
Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going passed

Look in the rearview mirror
And keep an eye on the road
Multi-task mode
Avoid brain overload

As the future comes clearer
The past comes nearer

Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going past

As the future comes nearer
The past come clearer

LYRICS
When you convey a smile
It travels many a mile
Then compound and compile
Everyone tunes into the dial
And, that’s when the times turn fine

You said, “Keep on playing,
I’ll just listen.”
Thanks for saying
Eyes twinkle and glisten
And, that’s when the times turn fine

Saw her tapping her toe
That’s how I know
Wished she didn’t have to go
Solace… she’ll be back, though
And, that’s when the times turn fine

ABOUT THE SONG

This song was inspired by people showing their appreciation when I play music out on the street. Each verse is about different people’s ways of showing their gratitude. The first verse is about a lady driving by in Ambler, PA. The second and third were written at Marshall Square Park in West Chester, PA.

Fawn On The Run

Posted on May 26, 2015May 26, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
There’s nothing wrong with searching and searching
As long as your researching is educating
Learn something new ’bout every moment
Startled by the movement
Think I surprised you?
You scared the crap out of me, too
But now that I see you’re just havin’ fun
Fawn on the run

There’s a squirrel lookin’ down at us
Thinking “in too bad taste” to be nuts
Had to agree, wink and nod
We should act like animals instead of God
Takin’ in the moment
Startled by the movement
Think I surprised you?
You scared the crap out of me, too
But now that I see you’re just havin’ fun
Fawn on the run

ABOUT THE SONG
E7sus4 E7 A7
D6 A7 E7sus4

Have you ever been scared of something only to find out there was nothing to fear? Such an instance inspired this song. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving. It was only a few feet from me. I could see it was larger than a rabbit… it was larger than a groundhog. It started stumbling and fumbling right toward me. Then, I recognized it was a fawn. It barely knew how to standup and run away.

Written and recorded at Lake Wynonah, Schuylkill County, PA.

LYRICS
Wait! Please don’t go
Please stick around for the show
Wait! I need to know
One more question before you go:
Will you be joining the chorus of the universe?
Sweet harmonies throughout the verse

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Wait! Please don’t go
Oh, I really need to know
Wait! Please don’t go
For you have not a single foe
One more question before you go:
Will you be joining the chorus of the universe?
Sweet harmonies throughout the verse

Ahhhhhhhhhh
