Songwriter-Original Songs -Rusty Gill

Let me introduce myself. My name is Rusty Gill(NO NOT THE OTHER ONE!). I have been into the music scene since I was 4 years old. Well, I only danced and sang then but I did debut in a theater. Wow!! I picked up my first guitar after hearing Tommy Bolin(local hero) play "Walk Don't Run" with his first band. Yes, I was really there. 13 years old and I could hear the Big-Time calling. 15 bands and a whole lotta years later I'm left with no wives but a bunch of tunes I've written over the years. These are all pre-master demos that were really not for release but what the hell!! Right.

Story behind the song

When I was very young and writing songs with my then partner Rob Molden. Everyday we would sit in my basement bedroom and write and sing together for hours. There was an old Malt Shop about 5 blocks from my house where we gathered outside and in to talk music with other players. It was so friendly then among players....Really cool like life should be.  No cell phones or anything so we would just say to our buds...Hey just meet us down at the corner and everyone knew. It was code for we're under age but we can have a ciggie out back and even buy a few beers from the older guys. Then Rob and I would sneak back into my house through a basement window and sing and play and write. It was great fun and one of my best memories of this tough music business. Rusty Gill

Lyrics

Verse) You'll always find me on the Corner.
           Where sins a game and I'm a learner.
            You'll get your kicks a lot sooner.
           Down on the Corner.

2nd)   There's always something there to do.
          We'll find a girl just for you.
           And you'll be glad when she's through.
          Down on the Corner.

Chorus) It's not a drag come and see.
             It's really wild as can be.
             Even buy a drink when you're "15".
             Down on the Corner.

Verse)The crowd I'm with is always there.
          Going wild and shakin' their long hair.
          What people say---"THEY DON'T CARE!".
          Down on the Corner.

Chorus) It's not a drag come and see.
              It's really wild as can be.(Ah-h-h)
              Even buy a drink when you're "15" 
              Down on the Corner.
              Down on the Corner.
              Do---wn on the Corner.
