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 !

this is in direct oposition of "Truckstop South Of Nashville" . It is like the "good samaritan" parable . Jesus asked 'who then was the neighbor?'
Lyrics
Father Knows Best ( He Says So ) Babylon The Great has fallen.I can hear the innocent blood calling From down around the foot of the throne.The same blood that she's quiet drunk on. There's the Holy father foolin' around again.In a rectory where he never should have been. A little leaven spoils the whole lump and Leavenworth ought to have a brand new punk The congregation mutters Oh! my my.But, they all make sure and pay their tithes. On you knees . Now fill that collection plate.I promise I'll push you through the pearly gate! By the way son...while you're down there...I want to make sure you lay your whole soul bare. We'll root out your sin .If I poke and pry we'll get this demon exorcised A cookie to suck and a sip of wine.I promise sweet child it will be just fine What's a prick of pain for redemption in an hour.I'll give you absolution 'cause I've got the power To give you forgiveness for all YOUR sin.All you have to do is open up and let me in. By god it ain't broken, just a little bit bent .It'll be OK ,you'll see, when we- repent ! Now Johnny won't go to church no more .His momma says,"why you wanna be that way for?" The press release has the Vatican screamin' 'That little demon is purely blasphemin'... ...He's just another one of Satan's tools sent here to make the righteous look like fools.' But the See is seein' to johnny's moma's rent and it's worth every penny His Holieness spent. The Bishop say's 'My child stop cryin'. I mean ,It's not as if you're diein' and even if you did - kid .There's a place for you in- hea -ven I swear - up there - you'll love me a-gain There goes the holy father again.In another rectory where he never should have been. It's agains the law and a $%^damn sin but, the great Wh@re's gonna bail him out again Everybody say ," Amen, Amen" Copyright 2007 by Marion Cunningham
