Songs in THE RAW!! "Blind Fate"

Well..the Holidays are starting to mess with my mission. I am a little behind on my plan, but I am ready to make up for it.
Let me start by saying that I hope that every one had a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you're not from the US, it's the day we celebrate when we invited the Native Americans to dinner, fed them, then stole their land and began the genocide. I wonder if the Casinos on Reservations in this Country have a "No White Man" rule on Thanksgiving. Or is there some kind of reverse celebration honoring their ancestors who were repeatedly lied to by The US Government.....this is what I wonder about on Thanksgiving.
I don't even want to get started on Christmas. Let me just say that I was a little sickened by the people lining up at shopping centers around the country to "get in on the deals". If they were that concerned about saving money, maybe they shouldn't be BUYING ANYTHING!?!?!

OK...I'm over it....This week's song came to me as I was thinking about the course that my life has taken. I made a few decisions...some good...some bad....stood idly by while things unfolded around me....missed out on this....drank too much of that....slept through a few major events....watched too much TV....not enough History Channel....didn't call my parents enough in college...maybe shouldn't have dropped Accounting....SURE...I could read more...all of this is true, but it has lead me to where I am today. Which reminds me, I really ought to write this blog before I write the song. I missed a few things during the songwriting process.

The song is called "Blind Fate". It's about the messed up road we take to finding "true love". Also a little bit about the miracle that is the human life. Every day is a blessing. We should treat it that way. I'm going to stare at my kids....go to the gym....enjoy a nice cup of coffee....maybe a light lunch....play my guitar and kiss my wife. All before noon!

That's what I call a good day!

So here are the links to the music....store....myspace....the awesome video that I made with Glenn Sweitzer....and all that crap!

Songs in THE RAW!! "Way Down and So Low"

Well, how and the heck are ya? It's been a while and I am glad to be back in the saddle. I hope you have been enjoying life and preparing for the holidays. It's been a crazy few weeks for me...travel...family....growing infants. I posted three songs a few weeks ago to keep up my end of the bargain. Now I'm a day late for this week's entry, but I hope you'll forgive me.

I wrote this song in honor of those who think that they are "the man", "the boss", "ruler of their own domaine", "the cat's meow", "all that and a bag of potato chips". It's my belief that self praise is no praise at all. I like to laugh at people who think highly of themselves. How 'bout a little humility my friends?

As I watch the self-inflated go through life, they seem to always end up on the down and out. Why is that? I think it's because no one likes to hear about how great you think you are. So when things go a little wrong, no one is going to help you find your way again. According to you, you always know your way. You've never needed help before, or laughed when it was offered and now people actually enjoy watching your ship burn. or maybe it's just me that likes to watch.

Anyway, this week's song is called "Way Down and So Low". It's not a Blues song....sorry.

Songs in THE RAW!! Nov 6, 2007

I have been travelling for the last week...Nashville and New Orleans. Family, friends, music, work and play. I have not been at home to record my SONG IN THE RAW - Songwriter on a Mission, but I did manage to put up THREE songs last week for your listening pleasure.

So, for this week, something new and SUPER COOL! I made a music video while I was in Nashville. It's to a song called "The Way I Feel".

Here it is.....
