The Great Recess Caper of 1961
Original music Monday: Here is the 10th song I wrote. It is called Is it Love or is it Sin? Let me know…. Here is a short story I tried posting when I first started the blog back in November of last year. I’m not sure it was posted properly or on time, so hereContinue reading “The Great Recess Caper of 1961”
Friends
Today is Original Song Monday and my offering this week is a song I wrote when I was in the band Bad Intent. The year was 1990. We were a tight little band playing mostly covers and the first song I was able to propose and have all the guys buy-in was this song Friends.Continue reading “Friends”
Cantina Lady
The title of this week’s original song I penned in 1976, it comes with a story (I’m a writer, of course it does). The scene is a little dive bar on Canal Street in Nogales, Mexico. The bartender was asleep when I entered through the shimmering red, white and green beads. There were three cracked-leatherContinue reading “Cantina Lady”
No More Tomorrows
The title of this weeks’ original song was actually a collaboration between my brother Ed and I. Ed had the melody bouncing around his gourd and had started on the lyrics. I basically finished the melody and added a chorus. We finished the lyrics together over a bottle of Stolichnaya and some Marin County Greenbud.Continue reading “No More Tomorrows”
The Wizard
He was about 60, a used-up and burnt-out alcoholic grill cook. He was fat, balding, and bitter. He had started cooking in his mom’s kitchen and never rose past the position of grill cook for a major breakfast chain. Thirty years of cooking and absolutely nothing to show for it. His pockets were usually empty,Continue reading “The Wizard”

Look for my installments to majorly increase in quality as I learn what the hell I am doing. Remember “good things comeContinue reading “Anger”
Monday
For most of my working career in the food service industry, Mondays just started the work week which usually ended on Sunday night. The days were marked by a work task, Mondays food ordering, Tuesdays retail items for the Gift Shop, meeting days and so on. Now being retired, Monday can mean any damn thingContinue reading “Monday”

As Promised
As the nineties were beginning, I found myself in a tiny recording studio in Texas, Ohio. I hooked up with a badass bluegrass harp player and a shred-metal bass player and we laid down some tracks as a demo cassette. The harmonica player and I ended up gigging out as Blue Country, and the bassContinue reading “As Promised”
