I don’t know, Dear
Is that a doe?

Dear, a doe and a young buck

Getting to know, Dear
That is a doe
Now, know

Looking at me
Eye-to-eye
Run they don’t…
I don’t know why
Eye-to-eye
Dear, a doe and a young buck

Old Fiddlers’ Picnic

Posted on August 15, 2017August 15, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Outback in the hills of Chester County
There’s a sight you’ve got to hear to see
Just bring a fiddle to solve the riddle
Do tell! A jig to keep you well
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
We’re starting ‘fore noon
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
Play ’til we’re under the moon

Groove in the grove in Chester County
It’s alright… the sound you’ll see
Strum a guitar, sing-a-long or hum
Yell! Swing to a melody so swell
Chorus

Far-out in the hills of Chester County
Picking tunes… a plentiful bounty
You know… tap a toe… let it go
Do tell! A jig to keep you well

Silent Running

Posted on August 15, 2017August 15, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
In the silent running
Of the water flowing
All together knowing
Where we’re going

Going down to the river
Down to the sea
Going down to deliver
Down to “the see”

In the silent running
In the midst of floating
All together knowing
Where we’re going
Chorus

In the silent running
All over the waterfall
Already knowing
Where we’re going
Chorus

Leavin’ Grievin’ Starvin’

Posted on July 30, 2017July 31, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Can I start workin’ it a bit
While I think on it
Fore sure, I’d love to know the big picture
… if I start, I can always quit

If I wait to hesitate
Lost time can’t regurgitate
Repeat: to time defeat

In “The End” ride off into the sunset
’til then, I’ve started to begin
My friend, forget about regret
As long as the time that’s mine is livin’

I leave grievin’ starvin’
And keep on believin’ in lovin’

Unconditional For All

Posted on July 30, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You are fine art removed from vanity
A perfect picture of compassion
With love you don’t ration

You’re giving away a sum
To anyone that wants some
Crossed the finish line, yet never done
Shinning brighter than the sun

Why don’t we all just do it
Hold all of us to it
Why not change the world
Before we get too old

In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You put optimism in opportunity
A pure champion of compassion
With love you don’t ration
(Unconditional for all)

Float Your Boat

Posted on July 23, 2017July 24, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Do you know what I mean
When I sing “floating down stream”?
Behave with the energy wave
… to the sea
Try to keep your head above water
Don’t ever go down for the third time
It really does matter
Living the nursery rhyme
Floating down stream
My body a boat in the dream
Embody “about” in the dream

Redemption

Posted on July 23, 2017July 23, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Mother Nature says
It’s only a phase
The nuclear age
The good ole days
Have parted ways
Mother Nature says
It’s only a phase
Only a stage
Postmodern rage
Comin’ clean on the war machine
Funded by our ghetto scenes
The American dream going up in steam
From growing a heart that’s mean
Redeem!

The more I dream
The redeem scene
Obscene come clean
I mean the dream
No longer mean
Loving is keen
Heart is the queen
Mercy is seen
The redeem scene

Bird Call

Posted on July 8, 2017July 8, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
A most amazing thing
When I started to sing
The animals threw a ball
A bird call went out to all
Butterflies fluttering
Flirting with the wind
Man’s troubles abandoned

In the most amazing way
When I started to play
Critters began to party
Their animal spirits set free
The bird call went out to all
The forest and field yield
As the seventh seal is revealed

Before flora and fauna are forgot
Why not strike while the iron is hot
Start to stop to smell the roses
Watch the wildlife striking poses

Maria

Posted on June 24, 2017June 28, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Lookin’ for Maria
Need a panacea
I’m too frail
She’ll fix my ail
She’ll set me free
From what’s troublin’ me
Maria, Maria ideal idea

Searchin’ for Maria
Need an idea
Someone kind
To ease my mind
The best at putting it to rest
Maria, Maria ideal idea

Depend on Maria
Made in America
Full of heart
She does her part
Departs a piece of inner peace
Maria, Maria ideal idea

ABOUT THE SONG
While I was sitting on the courthouse wall at Market and High Streets in West Chester, a lady paused while passing by. I had seen her walk by on many occasions over the years, but this day she asked a favor. “Yesterday, I saw you writing. Can you write a song for me? My name is Maria.”

Festival Pier

Posted on June 20, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
The music’s on the pier
The time is growing near
Check? Check! Double check… soundcheck
Backstage pass in the grass
Scent of Mother Nature fills the air
It’s everywhere
All to the festival
Say, “Holiday!”
(All in all festival)
They’ll show you the ways to the best of days
When the band starts to play
Your troubles melt away
All the kids having fun watching girls dancing in the sun
Raise your hand if you understand
Raise your hand! Be counted
Raise your hand! Be heard
Raise your hand! Be anointed
Raise your hand! Spread the word
1, 2, 3 for glory
Aware on the Delaware
What did Delaware?
A New Jersey

Taking Flight

Posted on May 15, 2016May 15, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Now that I’m learning to fly
What’s the limit? The sky?
Flap my wings if I try
Soon I’ll be waving bye-bye

Spread your wings a learn to soar
Soon you’ll be calling “more, more, more”
Spread your wings and soar for sure
Settin’ sail your soul will endure

Now I’m wondering why
Everybody doesn’t try
We’re all learning to fly
Then, angels when we die

Chorus

Now that I learned to fly
I’m not afraid to die
Shed no tear… no don’t cry
Kite flight going high

Chorus

LYRICS
We cordially invite you to the zoo
We invite you
To Sunday at the zoo
Come on and do what you wanna do
You know you want to
At the zoo

When you get there
Music fills the air
Are there vultures?
Yeah! For sure
Going to be zebras and a whole lot more
Not to mention Homo sapiens galore
Come on and do what you wanna do
At the zoo

I’m going to the zoo
Are you going, too
I’m going to the zoo
That’s what I really, really want to do
Come on and do what you wanna do
At the zoo

The Bald Eagle is looking regal
And you don’t want to miss
Reindeer at Christmas
Come on and do what you wanna do
At the zoo

Have you heard the herd
Seen the scene
There’s so much to touch
Come on and do what you wanna do
At the zoo

See ya later alligator!
