Singer/songwriter combining the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something
Lester is a singer/songwriter who's lyrical style has been described as "throwing a bucket of paint at a wall to see what happens." In reality, his songs are bluesy and his lyrics paint interesting pictures with unique turns of phrase. He combines the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something that might be called CountryBluesFolkRock. Originally from Maine, Lester currently lives with his wife, two kids and four cats in the middle of Florida, which is exactly like Maine... just a hell of a lot warmer.

Story behind the song
Besides the nifty guitar effect that floats around in the background on this song, it is notable as the first one I recorded with the Epiphone classical guitar that fell from Heaven. A dear friend gave it to me last winter, and it was greatly appreciated. You see, I only have sentimental-value instruments. My regular acoustic is a Guild that my dad rescued from the ashes of a burned building. I am sure he totally messed it up by the standards of a guitar restoration expert, but what the hell. Meanwhile, my Les Paul is the descendant of a short line of electrics that got me started on this journey, made possible by dad trading in one of his Gibson's to get me started.
Lyrics
If I could only have one dream I guess you know what I'd be dreaming If I could only have one wish I guess you know what I'd be wishing There's nothing left me now The truth is hard to take I'm down upon my knees Please stay If I could only have one prayer I guess you know what I'd be praying If I only say one word I guess you know what I'd be saying There's nothing left me now And the truth is hard to take I'm down upon my knees Please stay There's nothing left me now The truth is hard to take I'm down upon my knees Please stay If I could only have one dream I guess you know what I'd be dreaming
