Worried Life Blues
You can spend your whole life worrying about things that never happen, but today let’s just follow some good advice and not worry our lives anymore.
Here is Clarence Gatemouth Brown and Canned Heat performing ‘Worried Life Blues’:
“I want you to get funky, I want grease dripping off the bandstand”.
Enjoy,

None The Same – Lyrics
i hope you know
i’d never leave you
with a babe on your arm
i’m not that man
but someday she’ll grow
and she won’t need me
i’ll rejoin the war
show her what’s worth fighting for
’cause I’m too good a shot
shoot whenever I want
they’ll give me an army
right on the spot
because you snuck away
with his trembling hands
the one who would cower
whenever i stand
but know i forgive you
i hope you’re well
if any man harms you
i’ll deliver him hell
i don’t know what we’re called
i don’t know its name
but i know that we’re family
none the same
i don’t know what we’re called
i don’t know its name
but i know that we’re family
none the same
i don’t know what we’re called
i don’t know its name
but i know that we’re family
none the same
Grandma’s Hands
My friend Clay and I exchange music periodically and he recently sent me a link to some good Bill Withers tracks, so I figured I’d share with you one of the best of Mr. Wither’s live cuts, “Grandma’s Hands”:
So smooth.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mothers out there!
Here’s some live Gordon Lightfoot for my mother, ‘Summer Side of Life’:
She’d prefer ‘Rainy Day People’, but I couldn’t find a live version on YouTube.

Saint John and Phil Hirschi (cello) live at White Rabbit in Fremont
Phil Hirschi (cello) and I are putting together a set list of some of my newer songs that we haven’t even rehearsed with the full band yet, and haven’t been performed in front of an audience anywhere, ever. We’ll play a couple of favourites too!
So it’ll be a good show to come to and get a preview of some new creations and different interpretations of a couple of my older songs.

Fans, Friends, Nectar Lounge, Paula Boggs, Jeremy Serwer, Thank You!
Last night’s show at the Nectar Lounge in Fremont was super rad, the weather was perfect, the outdoor patio was relaxed, the beer was refreshing, the folks were fun and friendly, and everyone was ready to play and/or listen to some live music, because that’s what this town does best!
The Paula Boggs Band and Jeremy Serwer were fantastic and lovely and you should go connect with them to make sure you can catch their next show:
