The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
A song about remembering the good old days of rock, the Summer of Love and when we were young, free, and Fully Smooth and Blue. The title of this song is from "Saint Odd" (An Odd Thomas Novel) by Dean Koontz. This is the 2nd time I borrowed a phrase from Mr. Koontz for a song title. The previous one was "Out of Nil and Into Naught", which I believe is also from another Odd Thomas novel.
Lyrics
A long three thousand miles to go With a suitcase filled with hope I can steer while you find Something fine for us to smoke I tune the radio, find our songs We roll the windows down We sing out loud to passing cars With faces of blank frowns Come on you fellow travelers You all know the words! If we can't harmonize to 3 chord blues How can we ever save the Earth? We are all riding high From the mountains to the sun We are all escapees from The Summer of Love You look at us like we're insane But you know we speak the truth We protested, marched and rallied, Tell me what else is there to do? When you find we're all the same We can finally walk hand in hand We can march right up And stare down our crooked Uncle Sam. Come on you co-inhabitors This is your world too If we can't agree we've had enough We can be FULLY SMOOTH AND BLUE. We are all riding high From the mountains to the sun We are all escapees from The Summer of Love
