DON'T PANIC (42)

From Folk to Country to Blues and most places in between ... original, traditional and the best of the rest ... tongue firmly in cheek ... hearts on their sleev

DON'T PANIC! is Jennifer Ives (Jives) and Bob Ardern (Homeless Bob). Bob and Jennifer met at the centre of the Simcoe County musical universe - Don's Coffeehouse - in April 2001. From the start, Jives and Bob realized they were musically attuned (so to speak). They share a love and respect for all things folkie. They knew they were going to be good friends when Jennifer quoted a line from a Cheryl Wheeler song and Bob sang the next line without missing a beat. They are both incorrigible grammar fanatics and neither of them would dangle a participle on a bet! Add to that a love for Douglas Adams's "The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy" and the collaboration was inevitable.

Lyrics

6:00 AM Song (Jennifer Ives)
Cat kissed my nose this morning. Birds sang piccolo songs. 
Dogs barked at the shadows.
Dawn broke bright and strong.
Imagination failed to ride that Mœbius curve.
Daybreak rode a white horse.
Daybreak rode a white horse.
Daybreak rode a white horse,
Trampled every nerve.

Obligation flew out the doorway like an angry glance.
I gave a moment's thought to chase
But I didn't stand a chance.
Morning coffee drifted in a caffeine-laden haze.
Light seeped through my window.
Light seeped through my window,
Light seeped through my window,
Disturbed my drowsy daze.

Bushy-eyed and bright-tailed,
The payment seemed too steep.
Heathen eyes turned from the light. 
Heathen eyes turned from the light.
Heathen eyes turned from the light,
And went right back to sleep
