Oh, woe is me; my baby's gone.... Hey, wait a minute. That might not be such a bad thing! (Let's do a little line-dancin' and stop worryin'.)

Heavy-handed acoustic guitar rock, with shades of John Hiatt-esque vocals (I've been told).
Hullo Folks, Just beginning to cobble this page together, so bear with me. Being a lyric-lover, I attempt to put as much thought into that portion of tunage as musical arrangements. Judge for yourself if that is successful or not. ;o) I think you'll find most of my songs to be of an "Americana" type in general flow. I do like songs with forward momentum, but an occasional ballad will sneak in from time to time. Working on album #2 (Strange Spaces) in slow stages, but we'll get there! Mo' later...

Lyrics
Loretta I woke up this mornin', feelin' just fine; No tearstains on my pillow, no worries on my mind; And then I looked into the closet, where you could plainly see, Loretta had up and walked out on me. Hey, hey, Loretta, I'm so glad that you're good and gone. Hey-hey, yeah, yeah, Loretta; goodbye, good luck, so long! I used to jump and jitter when the phone would ring, 'Cause it might be the sheriff or some other damn thing; Then I'd search through the city like some broken-down machine, To find you in a gin-mill with some guy I'd never seen. Hey, hey, Loretta (etc.) A paralysed victim of her poison kiss; I never thought that I was gonna live through this; But now I'm just a check-mark in her big black book; I'm feelin' like a fish that's shaken off the hook! I'm walkin' like I'm dancin', grin at everyone I see, They're wond'rin' 'bout this sudden change that's fallen over me; The possibilities are endless; my world is brand new, 'Cause I'm startin' over... and I'm startin' without you! Hey, hey, Loretta (etc.)
