Musically, I'm a storyteller. As a storyteller, I use music. Note, 5/10/06: I just took "Ridin' In Alone" off the page, because in my studies (I'm doing my Master of Arts in Humanities, with a Storytelling emphasis, at Prescott College) I have begun to do archival research, and that was one of several songs that were just not correct. Bits and pieces of it were, but the whols thing was incorrect... Damn! And it was one of my favorites! I have rewritten the lyrics, keeping the melody and chorus, and centered on Father Kino, an amazing man who did indeed ride alone throughout Apacheland in the late 1600's, building missions and bringing cattle, wheat, and orchards to Alta Pimeria. Gotta re-record it. I am mostly working by myself right now, although Bill Vasquez (keyboard, small brass, flutes) and I have long-range plans for recording and performing some wildly jazzy stuff. Working to pay the bills, unfortunately, gets in the way of musical time together at this point.

Story behind the song
I had a hot date lined up, and acted pretty much like described here. However.........I got stood up.
Lyrics
We've noticed Mama smilin' Since she got that call this mornin' Hummin' a tune and dancin' around And it's been such a long time Since she tried on her best dresses Looks like she's gonna go out on the town Between kids and job and housework Mama keeps so busy She hardly ever takes time for her own We know that Mama's lonely She needs a male companion So we'll be good while she's away from home Mama's gonna get some tonight Mama's gonna get some tonight And we'll leave on the porch light 'Cause Mama's gonna get some tonight! Mama, you look so pretty Don't worry 'bout us kids, because We'll be good; we know what not to do So go out and have a good time 'Cause you deserve a good time And, Mama, we won't be waitin' up for you (chorus)
