Work and Play...

...can sometimes be the same thing

As far as the work, I have been spending some time writing music for the illustrious Marsi Harrison, a singer songwriter and dear friend of mine. We just got together and stuff happened. Musical stuff of course. And it was magical. I'll keep you updated on stuff we've been writing (maybe some of her lyrics soon-ish) and you can expect her album to be released by the end of the summer. I've also been gearing up to play a local gig with Richmond-via-Ithaca artist Zach Birnbaum. If you like intimate alt/pop in the vein of John Mayer and Raul Midon, Zach will most certainly tickle your fancy. I will talk more about that show as it gets closer.

As for play, I've been doing some other musical stuff sporatically. My latest song is a standard southern blues thing with some of my quirk thrown in. The song is tentatively called "Break Me (Mo' and Mo')" and the lyrics are set to standard blues stanza

"Break Me (Mo' and Mo')"

I've been travelling
this commonwealth way too long (2x)
I need some tall lanky woman
to g'head and point me back home.

I seen yo'pictures
You take them out the frame(2x)
But you don't need no memories
when everything stay the same

I said Baby (Baby)
no fool can break me
So don't you dare concern yourself
with my safety
I'll tell ya now like I told before
your worrying just hurt me
mo' and mo'

Don't call me woman
'cause you know I won't pick up(2x)
Cause when it comes to this talking
I've 'bout had quite enough

And don't you dare call me "baby"
I never said I was your man
Don't dare call me "honey"
When did I say I was your man?
Ah there's a few things baby
that you don't quite understand

I said Baby (Baby)
no fool can break me
so don't you dare be concerned
with my safety
I'll tell you now like I told before
your worrying just hurt me
mo' and mo'

I said Baby(Baby)
no woman tames me
so don't you concern yourself
with my safety
I'll tell you now like I told before
your worrying just hurt me
mo' and mo'

I'll hopefully have recorded soon, maybe have a friend come in and play slide and banjo. That's all I care to share for now though..so tootles.
