Alternative country contemporary christian pop/rock
When I was 22 a young lawyer took one of my songs and put it on the ‘B' side of his recording of Ave Maria. He invited me to watch the recording session at Criteria in Miami, Florida. Since that moment all I have ever wanted was to have my music recorded by professional musicians and sung by established artists. This truly is a monumental task as I do not perform live so I have recorded my own material as a means to get exposure and as a way for artists to be able to judge the “cover” worth of my songs. I am looking for a publishing deal. Contact Info: Jim Blachura C/O Stablesongs Phone: 336 995 0813 E Mail: saintlymanmusic@yahoo.com Saintly Man Music /ASCAP

Story behind the song
based on a local minor league and HS baseball fan, Homer Crafford who actually said "Be addressive", instead of be aggressive...back then when there was a double-header the teams only played 7 innings each...for you historians
Lyrics
HOMER He sat way down near the field at minor league games Kept on talking when it went to extra frames Seemed to be real Double "A" by the way he talked But everyone loved him 'cause he walked the walk Watch that curve! Swing the bat! Be addressive! And tip your cap when you hit a homer He sat thru all 14 innings of double-header games And didn't seem to know any of the players names He just kept jawin' and sounded real lame But all the fans loved him; he was harmless just the same An occasional hot dog and a cherry coke Was all he ever ate 'cause he didn't have much dough He lived for the game because he never played And for his box seats I don't think he ever paid...a stinkin' dime
