A bit of fun with words at the expense of a couple of people I love to stir. In C with a Lo F Lee Oskar Harp of course. Graham

Strictly a demos only performer <br />Jam at live gigs sometimes and have a whole lotta fun doing it
I am writer, and general Mister Nice Guy. I am not a performer but manage to squeak out stuff good enough for others to hear and do better with. Lucky for you lot. I get a few other people to sing and play some of my stuff. I do make Karaoke tracks of my songs and perform them every Saturday night, trotting twix the two local pubs that do karaoke. I have a whole heap more fun than doing covers all the time. Most weeks having at least one new song to try out on the punters. Have seven recorded and getting airplay. And not only on my show Roar Radio either. Backing music for Born To Be Blue is now on a video showing the Esperance service providers. Out soon. More later.

A Numbers Man By Birth Copyright © Graham Henderson APRA 2006 A numbers man by birth. Accounting comes easy to me. I was helping Dad fiddle his tax. When I was three. And Mum would have me check. Housekeeping costs for her. And it was her who had erred. If we failed to concur. When I went to school. I topped math every time. English I was lousy at. I couldn’t spell or rhyme. But sums were a breeze. I was nobody’s fool. ‘Cause my best tool was. The third R in the golden rule. And maths saw me right. In schoolyard fights. The class bully learned that one. When I turned out all his lights. I gave him one to the chest. But what worked best. To even out the odds was. A swift ten to the cods. Instrumental Later I found girls. Loved having homework done. They would carry my books for me. And throw in a bit of fun. I never had to beg for action. Just, sort some fraction out And I’d become the denominator. With them the numerator. When I finally found out I. Could also score with words. It was maths that helped me most. Write songs to charm the birds. ‘Cause music is accountable. Though some may not agree. But heck, they’re used exclusively. In Nashville Tennessee. So, you see that is why. I bless this gift I’m given. Maths has helped me all my life. And it’s how I make a living. But I don’t do the nine to five. Cooking clients books I punch in numbers four to the bar. And write songs around my hooks. The best lurk on earth is. Being a numbers man by birth.
