Strictly a demos only performer <br />Jam at live gigs sometimes and have a whole lotta fun doing it
I am writer, and general Mister Nice Guy. I am not a performer but manage to squeak out stuff good enough for others to hear and do better with. Lucky for you lot. I get a few other people to sing and play some of my stuff. I do make Karaoke tracks of my songs and perform them every Saturday night, trotting twix the two local pubs that do karaoke. I have a whole heap more fun than doing covers all the time. Most weeks having at least one new song to try out on the punters. Have seven recorded and getting airplay. And not only on my show Roar Radio either. Backing music for Born To Be Blue is now on a video showing the Esperance service providers. Out soon. More later.

Lyrics
WHY MOTHER EARTH © Copyright Graham Henderson 2002 I am the one. Who sought to control. The soil and the water. That’s your heart and soul. I am the one. Who with plough and rake. Tried to subdue you. Your spirit to break. And I am the one. Who with dams and weirs. Drowned your valleys. For industry’s gears. Chorus: But now I’ve appeased my burning greed. I look for the things. I dearly need. Peace and contentment. And richness to sight. And the joy to be had. In a wilderness night. But, nowhere do I find. What I most want to see. Since I clear felled most of your trees Why mother earth. Have you failed me? Instrumental And what of those holes. I dug in your crust. As in search of your riches. I worked with greed’s lust. Gold oil iron. Nickel and tin. Just a chance of a show. And I’d barge right in. And any deep thought. To the long term effect. On your flora and fauna. I’d totally reject. Chorus: But now I’ve appeased my burning greed. I look for the things. I dearly need. Peace and contentment. And richness to sight. And the joy to be had. In a wilderness night. But, nowhere do I find. What I most want to see. Since I knocked down most of your trees Why Mother Earth. Have you failed me? Tag Why Mother Earth have you failed me.
