Songwriter, Performer, Grinner, Jimmy See, and a few guitars. I get by with a little help from my friends.

I am Jimmy See. I have played guitar, and sang most of my life, never seriously, except a few church gigs. I love all kinds of music, literally. I played with several friends. I was married for many years, raising children, and let my music go in honor of that, I feel a very worthwhile trade! Now, I am on my own, the kids are all grown, or close enough, and I have lost my flippin mind! I lived in a dark depression for many years, seldom out of bed, due to a chronic pain illness. I have a lyric that says, "I had to loose the mind I had, before it drove me crazy." I have written some 45 or so songs over the last two years, and together they chronicle a slow return from the darkest depression, to the light of living again. Most unfortunate is, I have been only able to render recordings of the later few songs in this series. UPDATE 2012: I am playing more live now, and writing like a madman, laughing more than ever, and feeling better all the time. I will be posting newer songs right away, and hopefully some of the newest will be recorded soon. Remember, LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! o(^_^)o

Story behind the song

Sometimes I am asked about the line, "needle on the donkey", so ok, here's the story. 

I was thinking about less than normal ways I could refer to the heat, and an old joke from a Cheech & Chong movie. 

Seems Pedro was sitting under a tree, having a siesta with his little donkey. A stranger came along and asked if Pedro knew what time it was. Pedro, without missing a beat, reaches over and lifts the donkey's balls, and says, "It's about 2:30"... the stranger continued on his way, thanking Pedro.  After a while the stranger returned, and again he asked the time. Again, Pedro lifted the animals testes, and told the stranger, "It's 4 o'clock." This time, the stranger told Pedro, "I can't help asking, how the hell can you tell time by lifting those???" Pedro replied, "Ohh, it's easy, I just lift these up and, (pointing under the lifted organs)... you see that clock right over there?"  OK, so with that in mind, and thinking about the period in the joke where you're supposed to think the donkey is somehow the timepiece, I thought ........ surely such an equipped donkey would have a temperature gauge? RIGHT???

And there you have it, the "needle on the donkey story" for all to see.

(Did I mention you should laugh every chance you get,)
(and create chances to laugh at every opportunity?     )
( It really IS the best medicine!!!                                   )
