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.

Lyrics

My Father's Face (The Resurrection )
                      Charles W – T Consaul

				Musical Interlude

1   I came into your town
     To get some food and rest the night
     Very weary from traveling hard
     I met with a man and inquired of a tavern
     He looked into my eyes, Cold and hard
     
     He said “I know you, You're a killer
     You're a thief and a man of the night
     And you've borrowed a name you can lean on awhile
     Because yours is too tarnished to right
     
     You will enter our town and destroy it
     Take everything that you can
     But your past finally came back to haunt you
     You are going to die by my hand”

			Musical Interlude

2   He pulled out his gun, and I looked down the barrel
     The sights pointed straight at my heart
     I raised both my hands, and I waited for the moment
     As time slowly picked us apart

     “The man that you want is my father 
      A person I never have met
      He rode in with a smile and was gone by a mile
      Long before I was born, I would bet

     Now I've done nothing more to deserve this
     Than be born of my mother's disgrace
     But I know someday I'll have to die for the crime
     Of wearing my father's face”

			Musical Interlude

3   Fathers, Take this warning 
     make your life a fruitful one
     Never fall to the stones of deceit
     For those stones will surround you
     And make up your grave stone
     And will follow at all your son's feet
