In the words of James Taylor, It's me and my guitar. Always in the same mood! Then again, maybe my guitar is just humoring me - sigh -
Just me, I'm an old Folksinger that still plays out once in a blue moon. Thank you for listening to my primitive acoustic songs. I am a retired Army Bandsman, a certified Wall Wacker, and am currently a teacher. Next time I retire I am going back into Folksinging. It's the perfect occupation really, no hope of fame and fortune and definately keeps me humble. Folksinging just naturally makes me a better person I s'pose.

Story behind the song
I was watching a documentary about the albatross on Peanut Butter Sandwich (PBS) when I realized, "That's Me!" The song has grown with me since then and is now an old freind that walks beside me wherever I go!
Lyrics
The Song of the Gooney Bird Charles W – T Consaul C: I don't know how to fly My wings won't hold me 'cause I weigh too much So I stumble around just as fast as I can 'Cause I'm not made to walk like a man Just to fly 1: Well now the Lord make the bird and he make the fish He give the creatures a special wish But I use mine up just staying alive And I never give a thought just to ask how to fly I flap my wings up high in the air They keep going up but I go nowhere So maybe someday I sit here bare While I watch my poor wings fly up in the air (awwwww) They're singing {Chorus} 2: I jump from cliffs and I fall to the ground But I don't get hurt, I'm safe and sound I jump from trees off the highest limb 'Cause it's either fly me up or I must learn how to swim (Blub Blub Blub Blub) And then someday when I do give up I peck like the chicken and walk like duck But till that day when I fall, DON”T PASS!!! Because it do no good for us to meet like that I'm Singing {Chorus}
