Putting on a Banana Suit to Fight Cancer

LYRICS
Young Love
Loves to learn
Loves to love

We’re strapping on banana suits
To bring a smile
Making people happy
We’re putting on…
Putting on banana suits
Gonna better this world…
Gonna better this world
Before we get too old

Fundraising To Fight Cancer

Diverting another crisis
That’s been left to us
(Our inheritance)
Lemonade for cancer aid
A Relay For Life
Don’t delay: HELP END STRIFE!

“People are dying”
Children are crying
“Have a great day”
What do you say?

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written and recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania on April 21, 2012. It was inspired by a group of girls fundraising for the American Cancer Society. The true love expressed by youth gives hope. While I was working on the music and lyrics, I sat on a bench next to the youth. The above lyrics that are in quotes were taken from their conversations; however, I was still at a loss for a title. Then, I heard a voice say, “young love”.

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about co-operation making beautiful music. The left side of my body plays the guitar. The right side of my body plays the keyboards. The vocals try to find middle ground that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

LYRICS
I look for the meaning
In the meaning
But, I can’t always find it there
Elusive. Eluding…
Though it may be (to me)
So, too, I

So, too, I

I’m really hoping I get the knack
I hope and pray I get the knack
The proper range
The proper attack

Oh , Lord… filling my lack

So, too, I

Maybe what I was worried about is weigh, way bigger than you?
(So, I can let my shy side come through)

I’m really hoping I get the knack

LYRICS
Picnic, Dear?

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way

The fog is long gone
Got my guitar… I’ll play a song
If you’d like… you can sing along

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way
No fear
Nothing in the way

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way
High gear
Nothing in the way

Hope’s near
Joys tear
Nothing in the way

Picnic, Dear?
Scenic *we’re*

Posted on by admin

I feel the days growing shorter
As the nights grow colder and evermore slower
Right when the food is scarcer
Out of nowhere comes a feast fit for the King of Kings

Funny what religion brings
When the discipline of all things
Occurs as humanity sings

Sings from the heart
Of the Good News, music, literature and art
The beauty of the fine arts
As they do their part
Spreading the Word, the joy, the happiness

She whispers in my ear,
“Thank goodness.”

The Song *With Love And Rage*

We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding

We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero

As it’s told
Turn to cold
The winter did

Never too old
Learn to fold
Back into the kid
The child you once were

The rest of your life
Just a blur

Back to Mother Nature
Your wife

Under the star
The child you are
Back from afar
The child you are

The trumpets blare
Now you’re aware
Of the child you are

The bells ring true
Of the child in you
Of the child you are

Heart And Soul?
What happens when the heart is ripped from the soul? What happens when the soul is ripped from the heart? This song is about exodus of the music committee from Occupy Philly.

LYRICS
Whirring of the whirlybird
Overhead
Bringing on fear…
Dread
Rumors, gossip…
Over what’s been said

Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for an onslaught of the assault cop

Gone to hell
All that’s left…
A shell

Heart ripped from soul
Soul ripped from heart
Twisted
Torn apart
What’s the toll of your goal
Resisted
A fresh start

Press the press
For nothing less
Than the truth
Press the press’s button
To turn on
The wisdom tooth
To turn off
The aloof
Are those in P.R.
Really that far
From reality of disparity
Disparity of sincerity
The rarity of ability
To annunciate their state
Seek their fate

Bringing harm

False alarm yelp

How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest

Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends

Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends

Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless

And, I’m starting to wonder
What will become of you
Now that the holidays
Are due

Will you survive
Will you make it through
Please be alive

Thanksgiving’s coming
Christmas, too
Giving way
To a new year

Will you be roaming
Far or near
Will you be lost
Or, will you be here
Thawing the frost

SONG

lyrics
(It’s) Your Move

Written November 3, 2011 at the Your Move sculpture

A giant game piece
Used in the name of peace
Across from where you park love

Helicopter whirling overhead
I still overheard
A voice rise above,
“It’s your move!”

Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace

Contrast Comcast
Cast your system
System of casts
Not, what I am

Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace

2. Your Move [Protest song written and recorded on location for Occupy Philadelphia]

MY LETTER TO CITY HALL
To whom it may concern:

Pursuant to today’s telephone conversation, thank you for your assistance. As you suggested, I did contact the Mayor’s Press Department.

It is my desire to coordinate press in two ways:
1) Obtain any positive *copy* covering the Philadelphia Police Department and the Mayor’s office. Any statements, press releases or related materials that can be edited and/or redistributed to news organizations would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for any information that will help substantiate that the Philadelphia Police have been doing an excellent job at Occupy Philly, as well as, being civil and cordial.

2) An on-camera appearance by representatives from the Police Department or the Mayor’s Office. Besides praising the Departments on camera, I would like to review the *move plan* offered to Occupy Philly by the Mayor. If we could shoot on-location Thursday or Friday during a picture perfect day, I would like to meet.

Questions include:
Where can Occupy Philly move? [The area will be filmed.]
Will there be electric?
Does Occupy Philly need any permits? Permits to move? Permits to play music? etc.
Can the move start this weekend?

Thank you. I shall await your advice.
