Singer/songwriter combining the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something
Lester is a singer/songwriter who's lyrical style has been described as "throwing a bucket of paint at a wall to see what happens." In reality, his songs are bluesy and his lyrics paint interesting pictures with unique turns of phrase. He combines the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something that might be called CountryBluesFolkRock. Originally from Maine, Lester currently lives with his wife, two kids and four cats in the middle of Florida, which is exactly like Maine... just a hell of a lot warmer.

Story behind the song
At Christmas, we visited a local shelter for children who have been taken away from their parents because of abuse. There were kids there from age 10 down to a little baby. We brought them some presents, and I took my guitar and sang songs with them. One little girl in particular got to me. She was so cute, and she sat in my lap almost the whole time. I know people have problems, but I couldn't imagine anyone hurting her. I'm not usually this sappy. It must be the cold meds.
Lyrics
Close your eyes Rest your weary head tonight Lullaby I don't want to hear you cry anymore I promise that I'll be right here by your door Hushabye now close your eyes Close your eyes Go to sleep and rest your feet Hear the sighs Of angels singing to you sweetly in the sky I don't want to hear you cry anymore Hushabye now close your eyes It's hard to think that there is someone who's so cruel To hurt a little one like you How could anyone resist to fall in love After just one look at you Close your eyes Rest your weary head tonight Lullaby I don't want to hear you cry anymore I promise that I'll be right here by your door Hushabye now close your eyes Li-li-li...
