Artist picture
Hard-rocking, guitar-driven blues-influenced music.
Note June 2024: All of the songs with a RED guitar picture tag to the left were recorded LIVE over backing tracks created with an Nux Loop Core and an Ammoon Pock-Rock. Glarry GTL semi-hollow tele copy guitar used. Mini digital voice recorder with Shure and Fender mikes captured it all live. All the songs with yellow guitar picture tag are the previously recorded blues style songs. These are some songs I started writing and recorded in late 2005, early 2006. I recorded them at home in my loft using cassette machines and a couple of microphones. Pretty barebones stuff. I keep writing and adding new songs as I get the motivation. Life provides lots of that. Check out the videos that I just added, all performed with Crazy Mixed Up World. (see Crazy Mixed up World at reverbnation.com). Songs sound best with headphones.

You meet all kinds out there. Just had to write this song about one of them.
Lyrics
LIVING THE DREAM (for Eddy) (Written by D.R.Pankoski Jul 2009) G Em C D / Chorus - G Em C G Em C D Im living the dream it aint what it seems The smiles and the laughter hide the pain and the tears Yes Im living the dream its all so unreal If you dont walk in my shoes you cant know how it feels. Theres fast cars and fast talkers and the fast woman out there But it all seems to be in slow motion at times It hurts so bad that nothing can dull the pain Yet it feels so good that you get up and do it again Chorus Im living the dream it aint what it seems Ive got promises to keep and Im living the dream Sometimes you realize that the cold lonely bus is better than being at home On a bus half my life on the backroads I roam Sometimes its better that the both of us are alone But it hurts so bad Im sad with no home They told me I couldnt do it but I did it anyways For so long I have tried & I cant count the days If you dont try youll never know youll never know if you dont try Gotta chase that dream now, cant let it pass me by Chorus Chasing the dream and sometimes life passes you by You gotta chase the dream you wont stop you gotta try You know that when its time that the dreams gonna come true Your trustin in your fate and thats whats driving you Ive got no time for the tears that I weep Ive got no time to catch up on my sleep Youve gotta be on the bottom to want to go to the top And I knew long ago that I just couldnt stop Chorus Yeah you gotta taste the bad to know that somethings good Im living the dream today and let it be understood Ive got promises to keep and Im living the dream Ive got promises to keep and Im living the dream Im living the dream it aint what it seems Ive got promises to keep and Im living the dream repeat
