Just trying to put what's inside my head out for others to hear. I don't use any shortcuts what you hear is what i played .Every insturment !
I guess I am the band . i play guitar, mandolin, dobro, keyboards and am currently learning the fiddle. I'll admit that the fiddle is the most painfull insturment i have tried. Now, my house band -Louie (The Lazy Lizard) and The HousePets consist of -Louie (Crested Gecko) on lead vocals and ruthem guitar, Coco (the dog) Lead guitar , Keybords, and back-up vocals, Shady Kitty (Black cat) Bass and some vocals, and last but in this case least Katy Cricket and the Crickettes on fiddle and back-up vocals (The members of the Crickettes come and go as Louie has a bad habitt of eating them for lunch !

Lyrics
A Prisoneers Prayer ( I'm Turning Out The Lights ) G G7 A A7 D D7 G G7 Lord I wish that I could sleep ,just lay down my head and rest A A7 D A A7 Just close my eyes and drift off into the past D D7 G G7 in dreams so deep .his whole day has been a test D D7 A7 G A A7 D But if I could dream sweet dreams of her - I surely would feel blessed G G7 D D7 Now, I can toss and turn but those old memories ain't the same G G7 D A They've got the same old burn but I can't get close to the flame ! D D7 G G7 Not ,like I can in dreams and although dreams are second best D D7 A G A A7 D If I could only dream sweet dreams of her - I surely would feel blessed ( Chorus: ) D G D D7 Lord, Now I lay me down to sleep . I pray to you my soal to keep G G7 D A All my love to save Throughout the hours dark and deep D D7 G G7 And if I die before I wake - Before I reach my final rest D D7 A G A A7 D If you'd just let me dream one more sweet dream of her - I surely would be blesses . [chord progressions remain consistant w/minor variations] Thank you Lord for seein' me through this long hard day And I want to thank you once again for the walk you've walked with me along the way Thank you for this day of life and many years of happieness but if you'd just let me dream sweet dreams of her i surely would be blessed Should Kingdom Come tomorrow ,come tomotrrow we'll meet again But lord , won't you keep her close to you and in my heart and dreams 'till then [spoken] Lord I'm turning out the lights now
