Song K
A Lot of My Friends Here Know That My Band, Cosmic Radio, Set Some Serious Goals a Few Years Back...
Heck, More Than a Few Years!
I Was About Knee High to a Grasshopper When It All Began...
That Seems Like a Long Time Ago, Now...
But, Please Don't Confuse Me With One Of the Boys From ZZ Top!
Even Though I've Got a Red Pick From ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Who Often Prefers to Use a Quarter or a Peso, Instead of a Standard Pick.
__________________________________________
Anyway, We've Been Playing Together For About 13 Years Now, and At Some Point During That Time, One of Us Got the Notion That It Would Be Cool if We Wrote 1,000 Original Tunes, and Played in 500 Different Places!
Well, We Passed That Thousand Song Mark a Little While Back, So the Candles Up Top Are in Celebration of That. (We're Closin' In On 1,100 Now!)
And, I Just Recently Noticed That I Also Passed the Thousand Mark For People Following Me in Wealthy Affiliate, too.
I Don't Wanna Make a Big Deal Out of That, 'Cause, Shoot, There's People Here With a Whole Lot More Than a Measly Thousand Followers!
But, As Long As Those Candles Are Burning...
Oh, and As For Those 500 Different Places? We're Sittin' On 486, So Just 14 More To Go!
Makin' Progress.
A Step-At-A-Time.
Or, Should I Say a Lick At a Time?
NO, NO, NO...Not That Kinda' Lick!
Yeah, Now That's What I'm Talkin' About!
________________________________________________________________
So Join the Celebration, and Enjoy Something I Wrote, Not All That Long Ago, For My One-Thousandth "Song."
It's Actually More of a Spoken-Word Piece, So You Don't Even Have to Worry About Enduring Any "Name That Tune" Confusion.
It's Called:
SONG K
Song K, Song K,
Never Thought I'd See the Day,
Like Buddy Holly, Not Fade Away,
Like King Kong, With Sweet Faye Wray,
Can't Top a Papa Hemingway,
____________________________________________________________
But, I Knock 'Em Out Da Ring Like Sugah Ray.
Cruisin' Downtown in Ma' Chevalay,
Put the 'ammer Down on the 'ard 'ighway (Supply Your Own Cockney Accent Here)
Spendin' Monday in Monterrey
Girl, We Different as Night and Day,
So, "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey,"
Betcho A** I'm Here To Stay,
Like Frank, I Did It My Way,
It's Muh Birthday!
And, Now, I'm Turnin' Silver-Gray,
(NOTE: Any Resemblance To Richard Gere is Purely Coincidental!)
Think I'll Move To San Jose,
Settle Down and Write a Screenplay,
Get a Great Big Payday!
NOTE: This is What You Get When You Google "Guy With Millions of Dollars." Honestly, Google is So Lacking in Intelligence Sometimes! (This One's For You, Edy.)
Do Some Sailin' in the Bay,
Go Swimmin' at the YMCA,
Take Some Classes At UCLA,
By the Way-My Word Play...
Might Hit It Big On Broadway!
And All the G*d D*mn Critics Say:
It's a Cliche...Too Risque...
Sign of the F***ing Judgement Day!
Et Tu, Brute!
No Way!
So, My Finest Hour is D.O.A.,
Bein' Investigated By the CIA,
Gotta Amscray!
Get Away on TWA!
Hideaway in a Little Cafe,
Somwhere in Bombay,
Then Hit the Hay.
Tomorrow's Comin', Come What May,
Song K, Song K,
Never Thought I'd See the Day!

Congratulations on your 1000 and nearly-500 anniversaries! I am flattered to have attended many of your much appreciated WA gigs... Keep them going! :)
Congrats on both 1000's and here's to the 500th place (coming soon to a stage near you). Love the tune and the graphics! You never fail to put a smile on my face :D
Excellent Job. i like the journey down 'Hollywood's past.' I also was into music myself back in the mid 70's. Fun times! Great post!
Yes - off & on, me and my other two brothers, Lamont and Darrow will get together and sing gospel songs. Lamont has a studio in his basement and we created our 1st cd; "Whole Armor of God" by LamontJ & Company (You can view the cd at http://cdbaby.com & just type in the title.
RJ-I listened to the song samples-very good! A unique and inspiring gospel performance-Rick :) (I'll blog the lyrics to one of my gospel tunes soon-Maybe you guys would have an interest.)
Excellent post and pictures ........like Jude said......you have certainly solved the insertion issue with photographs. I understand you are under contract to produce the next "Hunger Games"? Along with the soundtrack!
I'm up for it, Man! I thought about "borrowing" your picture to put under the CIA part, then second guessed myself, and went with the lie detector thing. My first instinct was probably a funnier choice. Next time I'll ask you, my friend! Sometimes I walk a line between funny and "OK or not OK?" :)
I know you have an outstanding sense of humor, that's what made me think of it in the first place.
Aye? What did you say? Did you say no way, or yaah way? Oh wrll, May be it don't matter anyway. Just as long as you have a great day!
History of America in a Nutshell, superbly done, my friend, this stuff could start to go viral........

Thank you for the encouragement, Vera! Gotta keep on, one way or the other. :)
Did you manage to open the pictures? I tried my best... for The Best... to say that All the Best is Still Ahead...:))
Yes, they are opening now. It was probably my old browser. :)
