Tom Paxton meets Jefferson Airplane. Extremely prolific singer songwriter with a wide range of styles from bizarre novelty tunes and surrealistic poetic songs t
With more than 300 songs and counting and for more than 30 years, I have written in a variety of acoustic styles from novelty tunes to love songs to historical ballads to poetic surrealistic songs to retro-acoustic pop. From bizarre to traditional from funny to poignant, whatever style the song is in, the melodies are usually memorable and the lyrics unpredictable. This site will eventually contain rough often first take demos of my entire song catalogue. Many of the earliest songs when I first started writing will of course be shaky. So expect the songs to get better as time goes on. Feel free to come back and browse often as I will constantly be adding songs, one by one in chronological order, starting in 1974. If you are looking for some unusual songs to cover from a little known but unique artist, you have come to the right place. Just e-mail me. If you find a song here that intrigues you, but you don't like a line or two, or you think it needs a bridge, drop me an e-mail and maybe you can earn writer's credit if it gets that song to be recorded or performed.... otherwise just enjoy. You can become a Rob Lincoln fan at no cost to you. I promise that if you keep coming back there will be some real surprises along the way. While mostly acoustic, some original material will veer into folk rock and even 60's pop, but the garage rock and loudest material will also be found in full band arrangement at soundclick.com/abrasiveflowers Eventually some of these 300+ tunes may be rerecorded and make it on to CD, including a novelty CD that would be suitable for Dr. Demento or an historical ballad CD or a political song CD--but until then, this is the only site you can hear most of these songs. (A few of my songs CAN be found on songramp.com/RobLincoln and myspace.com/lessickandlincoln)

Story behind the song
Listen closely to the lyrics on this one. It's an allegory. There are two stories going on simultaneously. The first story is an obvious western showdown. The second story is about a real political event that changed our country forever. All lines apply to both. If you haven't heard this song before and you get it, by all means write back. This song is performed by Lessick & Lincoln from a live recording from the Side Door Coffehouse I recently discovered. Since I am singing lead and it is such a clean version, I figure it's not necessary to re-record solo. (Also it's been a busy weekend). Incidentally this live perfomance was completely unplugged (no mics except the recording device). Mp3 Club listeners gave this a 4.0 out of 5.0....but they did not get it. Only one responded correctly after a clue. If someone I do not know personally stumbles on this and writes back to me what it is about, I will send them a free cd. This offer is good for my lifetime or as long as you are reading this, the offer is still good. You will have a choice of three cds, all of which are normally at least $10 at cdbaby.com.
Lyrics
I will post lyrics once someone writes back with an answer. Listen to the song and see if you can get it w/o reading the lyrics.
