Hello, I am basically a songwriter. I always co-write songs. The completed songs I have are projects done with my other co-writes and musical collaborators. While I do play drums, I do not play in a band because of my work schedule. I hope you will find a song or two that you can relate with and enjoy.

Story behind the song
When the gov bailouts hit last year everyone was up in arms. So this song talks about the bailouts and whose to blame and who is suffering from them. We are working on a more serious version of this song--probably will be completed right in time for the upcoming elections. This version we had a blast making but in retrospect many parts of it would not be "radio" friendly. Nothing that's obscene or needing to be censored--just not what you would hear on a radio. Give it a listen and you will see what I mean. Also our newer version will be shorter as well
Lyrics
Bailout Blues Verse 1 Daddy always said work hard for a livin Ain't no free ride yet they still seem to be given Looks like al that we've been taught's been turned upside down And the hard working Americans are loosin ground Man I got the bailout blues Verse 2 All the big fat companies they're the ones at fault They get a free pass to America's money vault The common folk are just trying to make ends meet They're livin in their tents or out on the streets Man I got the bailout blues Chorus It makes me fighting mad to think my retirements been put on hold In the short time it takes to blink America's being sold So keep printing all that money to make the problems go away And bury the solutions for another day yeh yeh Verse 3 Country folk city,city folk ,folks like you and me Never get to grab from America's money tree Worst part of it all is our kids don't stand a chance Because of all that corporate extravagance Man I got the bailout blues Chorus It makes me fighting mad to think my retirements been put on hold in the short time it takes to blink America's being sold So keep printing all that money to make the problems go away And bury the solutions for another day yeh yeh Bridge So they talked you into buying some great big castle Made it so easy, no money down no hastle A once in a lifetime deal to get you through They should have sent you flowers cause man did you get screwed Man I got the bailout blues Chorus It makes me fighting mad to think my retirements been put on hold In the short time it takes to blink America's being sold So keep printing all that money to make the problems go away And put off real solutions for another day yeh yeh
