Having a serious prolific streak over the last few months, did have about a month's pause due to having knee replacement surgery in January.
In any case here's a small sampling of I've been brewing with the idea of eventually releasing a couple EP's of my sardonic musings.
Staring Stanley here is a rough mix with a vocal track laid in by an old friend. I can't sing worth beans. I did all the guitars and bass plus drum loops, another buddy of mine did the organ and clav stuff.
Off The Rails is awaiting a vocal track (being done by an old bandmate from years ago), the lyrics are pertaining to AMTRAK.
OFF THE RAILS
1)
One stroke of a pen
And it was all gone
No more Pullman luxury
For a rambler to hop on
Tricky Dick slept jut fine
After a hard day's work
Far less places to go
And the tracks ust ceased to shine
2)
During the war you could get most anywhere
Just a few bucks for a few states away
They snagged the mail from the poles
Coffee was rich, even n coach class
Could sleep through all the bells and whistles
The view was something straight out of Rockwell
The clicking dreams and whistle moans
Cigar smoke and scrambled eggs were the wake up
CHORUS
Tell me why we went off the rails
Tell me can we get back on board
BRIDGE
PennCentral about to jump the tracks
Lawyers and lobbyists had an idea
Let's take control, combine them all
Nobody would mind a little profit somtime
3)
Stroke of Nixon's pen, the deal was done
20 railroads all shot up a white flag
Rainbows on wheels waiting for the official paint
Couldn't keep up with all the wings and tires
All those rails and fewer places to go
A hell of a long walk to Leechburg P A
Guess its here to stay, despite what the pundits said
Waiting for half a day if they finish the repairs.
