Guitar Jim Cunningham

Just trying to put what's inside my head out for others to hear. I don't use any shortcuts what you hear is what i played .Every insturment !

I guess I am the band . i play guitar, mandolin, dobro, keyboards and am currently learning the fiddle. I'll admit that the fiddle is the most painfull insturment i have tried. Now, my house band -Louie (The Lazy Lizard) and The HousePets consist of -Louie (Crested Gecko) on lead vocals and ruthem guitar, Coco (the dog) Lead guitar , Keybords, and back-up vocals, Shady Kitty (Black cat) Bass and some vocals, and last but in this case least Katy Cricket and the Crickettes on fiddle and back-up vocals (The members of the Crickettes come and go as Louie has a bad habitt of eating them for lunch !

Lyrics

A Song For Darfur

 ( lyrics for origonal piano work by M.Cunningham)

    Why are you crying ? Is it because you realize

     Your people are dieing ? But then everything dies .
 
    You say you want water .Well you're not the first .

       Be still now don't falter , Doesn't everyone thirst ?

            Still the diein' goes on . Still the diein' goes on and on and on 

            Still the diein' goes on ....
 
     I stand by a river but it's  a river of sand .
                                            
       I thirst for solutions  but then none are at hand 

     I'm diein' to dry every tear from your eyes 

        I cry out for Justice but it don't materialize
                                                                          
               Still  the cryin' goes on . yes the cryin' goes on and on and on.........

       You stand by and ocean but it's an ocean of tears
 
           A cold wind is blowing but it's been blowing for years

         You've a ship out there somewhere and i'm sorry my friend
   
            no matter how long you stand there it will never come in

                 And the chill just goes on . Yes the chill just goes on.

          So though you'll never touch it reach out for my hand
  
             And i'll reach for yours just as far as I can

           Across the miles and the waters there you thirst on your own

              I'll lift up my glass and drink to you 'till it's gone

                    Still the indifference goes on . Yes the indifference goes on and on and on....
