Artist picture
Acoustic folk rock. Outlaw Son AKA Timothy S. Epperhart writes plays sings and performs all his own songs, including covers.
Timothy S. Epperhart There are a lot of things that I'm interested in beyond being a musician, a poet or even a crazy person. Sometimes I might spout rhetoric just to see if you'll feed into it. I do that to my folks in real life too. To be honest I would like to post every song I've written with pictures and complete lyrics as I have worked on songwriting these past 10 + years. That work be a definite plus for my fans who have followed my music career. With life and music comes change. I keep an open mind to the world around me usually. I'm by no means so stuck on myself I can't or won't listen to other styles of music. My favorite format and style is probably "Acoustic Rock" - independently driven of course. Independent makes it possible to bloom into something much more than just a has-been on FM radio. I know it might seem a little overwhelming for most folks who get online to search for a song they may like to find a 29 year old man with almost 250 songs available for download. Some people may even be discouraged when they see my list of songs to even listen to one. Then again, some people have told me "Yeah you hear one you hear them all" - and I can completely understand this as I am always going to be me regardless. Anyways so yeah - I've been recording and writing songs for a long time now. That's not to say I actually draw a crowd or whatever when I play out. I really don't. In fact, I hardly ever let the public know that I play out when I do. I've always been this way. I see myself as a recording artist before a performer, performance wise I get all fucked up when I go out in public, I get to drinking. I forget the words to my own songs, because I have so many. It used to be like I could go out and feel good about playing my 5 favorite songs. Now it's like I get on stage and I'm thinking about what I'm going to play and end up just jamming some shit on drop d. There used to be places that I'd love to play who used to actually pay me 100.00 a night to get onstage for a couple hours and just go nuts. I fucking loved playing that bar because they never bullshitted me on my money at the end of the night. The regulars liked me because I used to go in every other day to get drunk, play some pool and hang out, but of course this was back when I was single. Don't get me wrong, I love my fiancee and we usually have a wonderful time, but I never get to get out and play my songs. Even if I did - I'm usually stuck on what I want to play over what I need to I guess.

Lyrics
Lyrics: (Shannon Morris) I was walkin' by the Lone Sock Laudromat That's when I ran into the Cheshire Alleycat He licked a fish head And he smiled and looked up at me He said "I know you, But I can't say where you're from. And you remind me of a guy named Tweedle Dum I've drawn a memory of him right here Won't you come see?" And I laughed at the thought of this peculiar day And I laughed until he went away Alone again, I shuffled through a broken crowd I ran into the man behind the cloak & shroud And every word he had to say was spoken loudly Now underneath his tunic, he was sweating fast But you & I know this was never meant to last So now somehow the subject keeps on Slipping past me And I laughed at the thought of this peculiar day And I laughed in yet another way I'm feeling satisfied, I think I've pulled my weight As someone famous once said, "Hey son, it's getting late They say today a baby may be falling down from a tree." I sat awhile beside a warbling water pool It left me feeling like a somewhat smarter fool Which really isn't any new kind of thing to me And I laughed at the thought of this peculiar day And I laughed with nothing left to say (©2001)
