It's just me on this page in Soundclick. I'm doing all the instruments with some help from software that I program.

I've just built a new studio at home with some pretty good equipment. I'm also recording other people and trying to make a living out of it. I'm also going to post MP3s of other folks that I'm recording. I'll try to post their URLs here on Soundclick as I upload the songs. I appreciate people listening to some of their stuff. They're just local single acts and bands trying to make Texas music.

Story behind the song

I was sitting on my grandmother's porch playing my guitar when a car drove by, circled the block, then stopped.   A cute little gal stepped out of the car came up on the porch and sat and listened as I finished a song I was playing.   She told me that she had just moved to town and loved to hear guitar music.   Then, she asked me to write her a song.   This is that song....

Lyrics

SMALL TOWN MONDAY MORNING
                -words & music
                    Mark Hicks

Well, you'll think it's kind of funny
When you hear about this song
That I've written you
To help you see the other side
Of all the lonely things
That make you blue
After all I've seen the same thing
Once or twice before
When you gotta say goodbye
And, you know you won't see them anymore

It's another small town Monday morning
And I know you'd rather stay at home in bed
Than to face another small town, Monday Morning
But, your momma said you gotta get up, sleepyhead

So, you slip out of your dreamworld
And you watch those foggy visions, 
Slowly fading away
You think of him, those football games
And all the funny things
That he used to say
After all that time together
Things sure worked out wrong
And all you got for heartache
Were the words to this Monday Morning Song

It's another Small Town Monday Morning
And, you know you'd rather stay at home in bed
Than to face another small town, Monday morning
But, your momma said you gotta get up, sleepyhead
Your momma said you gotta get up, sleepyhead
