I wrote this song for a Live Radio Stream Broadcast from Atlanta...for Mike Kohlgraf's "Saturday Night Rocks" Radio Show on SongPlanet.com. The actual date of that show was March 25, 2005. For anyone who has listened to Avalanche music...you probably know that acoustic music isn't really what I do...but I decided to accept Mike's gracious invitation...it was a chance for me to do something I hadn't done before...and I ended up playing ten songs in the acoustic format. I found out that I had a lot of fun doing it...so who knows...there will probably be more of this stuff in the future. My aplogies to DJ Misanthropy for not being included in the lyrical content of this song...he is a big part of the SP family...but he isn't listed as "DJ Sam"...which would have been easy to rhyme something to...but "Misanthropy" was another matter entirely. I promise to try to work on another verse Sam!
After the show in Atlanta, I stopped in to Terry Martin's place in Spring Hill, Florida for a five-day stay...as it is sort of on the way back to North Palm Beach, Florida where I live. While there...I decided to record this tune at Terry's StormSurge Studio...and since I had brought a lot of my recording gear with me to Atlanta...we were able to get a pretty nice recorded version of this tune for my SP page...for all who chose to listen that night, to enjoy. Special thanks to Terry...who provided his studio, and his engineering skills...at no cost. Thanks bro!
Since then this song has been very well-received by listeners (much to my surprise)...and so I have included it among the songs I have posted here...under the Avalanche name. This would probably be more correctly labeled as "AVALANCHE UNPLUGGED"
It was great fun to do...and I hope all of you here at SC enjoy this, as well!
Hugs...Mike (NAV)

Lyrics
SongPlanet BLUES
My phone is always busy...
As if it's off the hook...
My friends can't seem to find me...
No matter where they look...
'Cause I've found another planet...
And SongPlanet is its name...
And since I've found SongPlanet...
The radio is really lame.
All the people there are friendly...
The place is really "fat"...
I keep saying..."sorry, got to go
...cause I'm really late for Chat"...
'Cause I've found another planet...
And SongPlanet is its name...
And since I've found SongPlanet...
It seems my life just ain't the same.
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Got guys like Terry Martin...
Got Axe, and Jilly, too...
And Saturdays at seven...
Mike will rock your world 'til two...
Got Hawk, and Ridd, and Ranch, and Ed...
And dont forget Slarou!
And Kal, and Prong, and Ann are there...
So tell me...why aren't you?
And since I've found SongPlanet...
The radio...it just wont do.
So if you cannot find me...
You now know where I'll be...
I've found another planet...
And the place has set me free...
'Cause I've found another planet...
SongPlanet is its name...
And since I've found SongPlanet...
The radio...well, the radio is really lame! (spoken)
