Love to hear old Joe
He’s got a voice so smooth
Just can’t help but want
to move & groove
I love to hear it when his harmonica wails
along w/that sweet jazz saxophone
It never fails to get me in a spectacular mood

Overnight Sensation
This is a story, of a girl named Lily
She calls herself “an overnight sensation
-years in the making”
All the miles & the struggles were real
To be able, night after night to reveal
To her fans just how she feels
Pouring everything she’s got into her songs

Quick Lines
What’s new, my people?
Thought I’d drop these lines
While it’s on my mind
All is well, I’m doing fine
Lots to do to pass the time
Plenty of inspiration for rhymes
Listening to my friends
sharing their jams online
Really put me in a mood to write
I’ve got more to share,
later,
It’ll post tonight

Joe E.
When Joe E. was a young man
He looked like early spry
Johnny Cash
He’s done some hard living
but these days he knows better than that
Roads are hard, lessons learned
He’s played w/fire & he’s been burned
Oh, he still plays the music
& tells the stories in his songs
but he’s put away the childish things
Wishes he had all along

Due Credit
I heard a songwriter say something that struck me
as so very wrong
How people knew the artists who recorded his songs
but that they didn’t really have a clue
who he was @ all
It really is a heartbreaking plight
When the artists find success,
but the songwriters are forgotten
Like a shadow faded into the night
I don’t know about you
but I would love to see them
get more of the credit they are due

Dixie Lullaby
The best music, I’ve heard
it just gets better with time
As you grow & learn
to appreciate the sweet
rhythms & rhymes
I’ve got to say,
just writing straight
from my mind
That there’s nothing quite like
The sounds of an old Dixie lullaby

Ephraim
Whether sitting in a coffee shop,
or catching a quick bus downtown
Ephraim loves to play his harmonica,
Whether he’s playing in a gentle whisper
or making it cry out loud,
Everywhere that Ephraim goes
That boy knows how to draw
& thrill a crowd

For Better or Worse
Sharing his life in his music,
for better or worse
Pouring out new lyrics
verse by verse
Nobody said it’d be an easy road
but he’d never ask for a lighter load
Whether life’s going right or going tragically wrong
He loves that he can spill his joy or pain alike into a song
& have people relate, even singing along,
There’s been good & bad in the “crops” he’s sown
It does his soul good to know
He’s not alone

Labor of Love
When G.C. C. wrote his songs
they were always hits
He just had a knack for it
A beautiful & razor sharp poetic wit
He & music were a perfect fit
Like a hand in custom gloves
For him it was an absolute labor of love

The Real Thing
This morning I was listening
to a man named Michael sing
He has such a heart, such Love for Jesus,
I can tell it’s the real thing,
so inspiring
It’s so beautiful hearing him
lift his voice to the everlasting King
