Artist picture
Hard-rocking, guitar-driven blues-influenced music.
Note June 2024: All of the songs with a RED guitar picture tag to the left were recorded LIVE over backing tracks created with an Nux Loop Core and an Ammoon Pock-Rock. Glarry GTL semi-hollow tele copy guitar used. Mini digital voice recorder with Shure and Fender mikes captured it all live. All the songs with yellow guitar picture tag are the previously recorded blues style songs. These are some songs I started writing and recorded in late 2005, early 2006. I recorded them at home in my loft using cassette machines and a couple of microphones. Pretty barebones stuff. I keep writing and adding new songs as I get the motivation. Life provides lots of that. Check out the videos that I just added, all performed with Crazy Mixed Up World. (see Crazy Mixed up World at reverbnation.com). Songs sound best with headphones.

Lyrics
POLITICIAN BLUES(DP) (Written by David R. Pankoski Dec 2005) Every time we vote, Its a waste you see. All them lobbyists, got more say that you & me. Im thinking about me and you, What are we gonna do. Weve got the back-stabbing politician blues. They take our money, From every pay. Then they turn around, And piss it all away. Im thinking about me and you, What are we gonna do. Weve got the pork-barrel politician blues. The mayor, the governor, Even the president. Cant explain, Where our money went. Im thinking about me and you, What are we gonna do. Weve got the thieving politician blues. Our elected officials, Are even worse fools. Make up the laws, Then break all the rules. Im thinking about me and you, What are we gonna do. Weve got the law-breaking politician blues. They fret about issues, Of little or no concern. They dont care, Its our money they burn. Im thinking about me and you, What are we gonna do. Weve got the back-stabbing politician blues. They start all these wars, At places overseas. Too bad theyre not fighting, For you and me. But theyll gladly sacrifice our sons and daughters?. Im thinking about me and you, What are we gonna do. Weve got the traitor politician blues.
