For the record: I love the accordion. It makes me genuinely sad that I neither have one nor the ability to play one. This is a love song, of sorts, for the accordion. One-take-one-channel quick recording, with the guitar a little too close to the mic but you can mostly hear my singing even so. […]

This was my WTH moment, thans Andy I will sure return it

This is my re-entry into Song Skirmish after a month’s break, and the beginnings of my 50/90 (which I’m doing June-Aug because I have an empty house for a while…better for noise-making!). Documented over at my renamed blog, song-shaped objects. Took my breath away When we met I was sure that we’d get on Your […]

Stinky Feet If you want to be my little sugar plumb If you want to be my honey bee If you want to be my queen, walking barefoot on the green I know you know you mean that much to me So if you want to sit out in the ocean breeze If you want […]

Title  What the Hell is that Smell? DJE 05292017   Stinky Feet and More,  Oh Yeah!!!  (I did a rewrite and rerecord) Verse 1  Married, but she didn’t trust him Late nights wondering where he’ld been Said he’s out drinking with friends She had a plan to reign him in  Chorus:  A secret dab’il do […]

This interesting prompt, thanks Maddie, required a different approach than I’ve been using the last few weeks. Back to younger days and simpler times. Volume up! Rhythm guitars in drop D tuning. Already Dead Was a battle royal came to pass Where one just struck the other Left a trail of broken glass Tryin’ to […]

Verse 1  Partying down old Mexico’s square Day of the dead festival there Sugar Skull was his name Wore a mask and tattooed flames   Chorus:  Let’s dance all night He flashed a sexy grin His body felt too thin Hands cold as ice And rattled as we rolled Dancing the Old Man […]

This prompt came timely. On Wednesday I had to let my cat go due to his rapidly declining health. Tom was sixteen years old and spent more than twelve of these with me. Now he is gone and it feels sad and unreal at the same time to me. Day two without him. I wrote and […]
