The Thinker Museum
Outside the Rodin Museum

written and recorded while sitting under The Thinker statue at the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia, PA

Now, can you tell me
What you think of that?
Spoiled child… raised a brat
No offspring should ever see
Such a bastard… filthy rat
Glad to see my child will be
Free from ignorance
No need for pity
Free from arrogance
What do you think of that
The thought of ought
And, then to act

Tell me, Rodin, what do you think of that?
Natural beauty

Capo 6

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

Capo 2
Bm / dim

Black clouds rollin’ in
There’s an evil wind a blowin’
And, I ask again:
Why spoil the soul
With awful?
In the long run
It’ll take it’s toll
Anti-fun never won
Prove the fool your roll

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 is based on Hurricane Irene. I was suppose to play a Bob Marley festival… but, it was canceled due to Atlantic City being under a mandatory evacuation. When I explained my situation to a fan, he said, “Irene’s a bitch.”

Capo 4
F#

Ole Lady leery
Left her lantern in the shed
When the how kicked it over
She winked her I and said,
“If ya know what i mean
My names Irene
Gonna be gnarly
Sorry, no Marely.”

So, we played all night
Into the day
Play, play, play
We played into the rain
The spirit will remain

A tidal surge
Irie sea
Love splurge
See irie

What do you dread?
A raccoon in (your) bed?
I yelled, “Hey!
What’s going on?”
I thought “Say,
The End is upon?”
Hey! Say,
The End is upon?
Time?
Virginia 5.9
Did ya quake? Did ya shake?
As your life flashes
‘fo your eyes
Was it fake?

Am add G slide to F#

The storm water system failed
Manhole covers sailed
Surge
Urge
The forces that be
Caused by we
Reckless endangerment meant
We forced the hand
That feeds us
What happens next?
Bite with spite
We did
We Id
Let our ego go
Out-of-control

Written after a weekend of intense thunderstorms caused flash flooding across the state of Pennsylvania.

Capo 3 (play like and Em for a G. take index and middle fingers back and forth across the fret)

We’re here
To document crime
Past, present and future

We’re hear
Subtle. Sublime.
To serve Her nature

Listen. Absorb.
Law is
Her nature
is judge
Justice balance
Will naturally occur
I of nature
And of Her
Eye of nature
Nurture

Inspired by the moonflower seeds that sprouted into the sun… growing more tasty than alfalfa, bean or others.

Written sittin’ on the wall at the corners of Market and High streets in downtown West Chester… while sittin’ next to some sprouts… and before ya knew it, they were sprouting everywhere. A beautiful thing — a flower child patch sprouting.

Quarter fairy, barely
The heat is no match for a sprout
No doubt

Ya play it funked up blues

Putting one foot
In front of the other
Step by step
In a straight line
I find I’m back
Where I started

Chorus:
A circle of deadends
Is there no way out?
Round and round…
’till my soul
Is found

Driving one way
In search of another
Turn by turn
In a lost time
I find the knack
Of being thwarted
And, I’m right back where
I started

Chorus

Panicking away
No guidance from mother
Beat by beat
My heart’s not mine
I’m under attack
… being sentenced
Though, I know
Not what I did

Chorus

Placing faith
Not a fighter
But, a lover
I recover

My Dear,
Nothing to fear
The path is near
We will steer clear
Placing faith
Above all other
There is a way
Out of here

What was a lark
In Evansburg State Park
Was the start
Of our direction
Toward the One
Of perfection?

LYRICS
Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….

Going down to Downey’s
Plenty of players there
With the spirit to experiment
What sound can be found?

Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….

Take some singers to Ringers
Bring more to the dance floor
Give a look that’s meant
To ask if there’s more

Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You’ll improve my sight
Catch a glimpse
Through the crowd
We’ll sing our song
We’ll sing it loud
With astral dancing
Made for romancing
Embrace the space
While we have the chance
