Inlaw Joe

My first session with Marty Rifkin is already up on MySpace, and I am back from California sitting in my apartment.  That was a quick trip.  Marty and I recorded 5 songs, and I put the first four up so anyone can listen to them.  Even though the new MySpace player can have more than four songs, this fifth number is sort of an unconventional one, called "Inlaw Joe."  

"Inlaw Joe"

Here’s one from the ol’ glory days
But you haven’t heard this one yet from me
To protect the characters I had to change the names
She was Lindsey, he wasn’t Joe let’s just say

Joe played songs he wrote from the heart
Lindsey’s love for him grew ever so strong
In truth it wasn’t that simple, but in short it wasn’t that long
They both knew it was love

     It was an unscripted affair
     Complete with electric guitars
     And now the family is saying the in-law is a rock star

One day Joe left without leaving a note
You know someone long enough and you get your heart broke
And then he was back in the driveway of their home
Asked if they could start over again

Lindsey, that girl was big on second chances
Never heard a Neil Young album that spooked her out of her senses
They fell in love again listening to the remasters
Happy they didn’t have to divide up the collection

     It was an unscripted affair
     Complete with electric guitars
     And now the family is saying the in-law is a rock star

     So being that the album isn't done, I don't really know what to do with myself.  I'm looking for some new gigs and friends to my myspace page, and trying to settle into a regular sleep pattern for the better of those around me.  I think the next big step is starting a podcasts this weekend.  Then there are some things around the apartment that need to be taken care of too, but I don't consider this a "what I did today" blog.  For now check out all the songs that are up on MySpace, and I will be posting more lyrics soon.
