We are a group of people who enjoy songwriting and then recording the songs. We do it for fun.
The Overtone Gang is a group of people who enjoy songwriting and then recording the songs. The structure of the gang is flexible and people may participate on one CD and not on another. It's their choice. Each person is allowed to pursue their own projects and come back to join the gang. Egos get in the way of music so we try hard to eliminate the reasons for it. 7 different people have been involved in the first three CDs. The Cycle of Life CD included a lot more people (16 in total). Our CD "Relations" had only four people. On our latest CD, Earth, there were three of us, Melanie Broussard, Buddy Trotter and Danny Liggett. The gang has written and recorded songs for 8 CDs. These were recorded by ourselves (no record deal). We duplicate our own CDs, design and print out the booklet and put the jewel case together. We do it for fun.

Story behind the song
It seems the blue collar worker always seems to take the brunt of most things. Yet mostly, we seem pretty happy with our lives
Lyrics
It seems a little harder these days To keep an even keel Only the rich are getting ahead Thats the way it feels I work hard every day The bills take most of my pay But thats ok, just a blue collar way Every day Im already up Way before the sun And the sun has already set When the workdays done Not much time left to play But thats ok, Just a blue collar day I am what I am , Im a blue collar man And Im proud of what I am I work with my hands & Ill take stand Doing the best I can, Im a blue collar man A blue collar man Things get hard and sometimes rough But still its a good life Got two sons and a daughter And a good hearted wife Together we make a family The way its supposed to be Whats left to say Its the blue collar way Ill have some beers with my friends My wife will have some wine It aint caviar and it aint champagne But man were doing just fine Got burgers cooking on the grill Come on over and have your fill Yeah its ok Just the blue collar way I am what I am , Im a blue collar man And Im proud of what I am I work with my hands & Ill take stand Doing the best I can, Im a blue collar man A blue collar man
