February 25, 1973 as a college senior an 18-year-old kid came left of center and hit me head-on in a car crash. Hospitalized it kept me from graduating with my classmates. I had to attend summer school to complete my degree. I took with me to summer school an old guitar along with the album and songbook "The Silver Tongued Devil And I" by Kris Kristofferson. As I tried to learn my first song I realized the practice time had been the longest I had gone without thinking about the wreck and all the problems it had caused. It had killed the kid who had crashed into me and he was an only child. Since learning "The Silver Tongued Devil And I," I have turned to the songs of Kris Kristofferson during times of trouble in my life. In 1999 I lost my older son, Tad, in a car wreck during his junior year at Fairmont State College and in 2003 my wife decided to divorce me. When I got into an apartment of my own I turned to the songs of Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffet and others. After a few months I began writing my own songs and "Uranus" is the result. www.reverbnation.com/vicfitzsimmons Other sites: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=101838296 http://cdbaby.com/cd/vicfitzsimmons Contact Info: fitzuranus@yahoo.com Phone: (304) 758-2305

Lyrics
Kristofferson To Thank ---- by Vic Fitzsimmons © 4/21/2004 Verse 1: When I left West Virginia I knew I was on my way I brought my weapon with me and you know I came to play Though I may not have a prayer as an aging guitar player I don't do it for the money it's for something more than pay Chorus And I'm wealthy in the kind of things you can't take to the bank I'm a latter day kid rocker with Kristofferson to thank And Willie, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Hank Verse 2: After the show a fan went with me on the road I could not resist her smile or the way her eyes glowed Though I may not have a prayer as an aging guitar player She opened my desire like she had my secret code Chorus Bridge: And I cannot describe this feeling inside Cause it was West by God Virginia That Hank took his last ride Chorus
