A poem by one of my favorites. Billa Judson

Fishing

Standing on the shore I cast

Out among the reeds

Each cast out

Each draw back

I wonder if I might need a boat

To get to the place

A boat might help

Fool the fish to thinking

That what I have

Is what it is meant to be

I could move from one pool

To another always finding

Where the fish lie

Always catching

On a boat I sit casting

One side then the other

A boat I found

Or borrowed or rented

For the day to fish

Bringing it closer to the shore

Just close enough to be

Where I know the fish are

There in the reeds

As I drift I think if only

I could stay here in this spot

It would be easier I think

If the boat were fixed in one place

Like on an island

Or on the shore.

Break Time

Winter Break. Christmas is done and it is a few days until New Year's eve. A rest day. We are working on posting some additional musical selections. We might have a day to record a jam session New Years Day. I thought this might also be a good place to compile a list of songs we know and that we can regularly perform.

You are my Sunshine

Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Jailhouse

Love is a rose

I fought the law

Pay me my money down

Obladiblada

King of the road

Drunken Sailor

Squeezebox

Johnny Jump-up

Sweet Caroline

Proud Mary

Down by the riverside

Crawdad

Those are ones that we do off the cuff without any trouble. Here are some we theoretically know, but need some prep time to be sure we "remember them"

Deja vu all over again

House of the rising sun

Wild rover

Mary dont weep

Dirty old town

Sweet baby's arms

Sailing up my dirty stream

Handle me with care

I'm sure there are others and i will add them when i get "the list"
