Artist picture
Hard-rocking, guitar-driven blues-influenced music.
Note June 2024: All of the songs with a RED guitar picture tag to the left were recorded LIVE over backing tracks created with an Nux Loop Core and an Ammoon Pock-Rock. Glarry GTL semi-hollow tele copy guitar used. Mini digital voice recorder with Shure and Fender mikes captured it all live. All the songs with yellow guitar picture tag are the previously recorded blues style songs. These are some songs I started writing and recorded in late 2005, early 2006. I recorded them at home in my loft using cassette machines and a couple of microphones. Pretty barebones stuff. I keep writing and adding new songs as I get the motivation. Life provides lots of that. Check out the videos that I just added, all performed with Crazy Mixed Up World. (see Crazy Mixed up World at reverbnation.com). Songs sound best with headphones.

Story behind the song
Wouldn't you like to say this to someone sometime
Lyrics
DONT GIVE UP ON THE DAY JOB(DP) (Written by David R. Pankoski a€“ Oct 2005) -You can make em swoon, set their hearts on fire, You think you are every womans desire All those pretty boys got nothing on you, Let me tell you Valentino, dont give up your day job. -------------- -You can play a tune, you can even sing, All your pals think your everything Long haired crooners got nothing on you, Let me tell you kareokee boy, dont give up the day job ----------------------- -You can move on the floor, you can really dance, You are hot in motion & pure romance All them gay prancers got nothing on you, Hey there Fred Astaire, dont give up the day job --------------------- -When youa€™re holding a cue, youre the king of pool, You think you can bend all the rules (of physics anyways) Them tux-wearing shooters got nothing on you, Hey there Minnesota, dont give up the day job -------------- -You write fine prose, you talk up a storm, Cunning linguist in every form Them bespecaled newsmen got nothing on you, Cmon Peter Jennings wannabe, dont give up the day job -------------------- -You were the school hero on the field, Youre imaginary enemies would always yield But a sports hero cannot always be, Youre stripes arent like Tigers, dont give up the day job
