No Thanksgiving Song

Posted on November 26, 2020

A favorite Thanksgiving Song. *Hat tip* to John. (That’s Why There’s No) Thanksgiving Song.mp3 (That’s Why There’s No) Thanksgiving Song Can’t sing along, cuz there’s no Thanksgiving song Pieces of April, now scattered round the table How many more, that’s what this day is for Take the tin foil from the tray, set silverware and plates Paper napkins from the drawer Too gold to stay too long… that’s why there’s Cheap beer and football, sweet wine and pratfalls Careful when you go to plate the cranberries should keep the shape Of thecan, our silly yearly plan Makes us laugh until we shake, what little sense it makes To save the expiration date Too gold to stay too long…. that’s why there’s no Thanksgiving song…

Dishes – Jeffrey Foucault

Posted on June 4, 2018

This guy – Jeffrey Foucault – has been a solid favorite of mine for years. He just released a new recording and one that I have on repeat at the moment. Powerful words wrapped in simple chords and gritty vocals. Americana. Enjoy. Do the dishes With the windows open Soak the dirt From under your nails Pour a double Put a record on the table The light’s always perfect Just before it fails Bow your head down When you break bread together Close your eyes Make a circle of hands There is nothing That cannot be taken from you In this life You just hold on To the love that we have Swing the ax In the hours before daylight Note the sparks That…

Q: Do you have a song that you are particularly proud of? A: I don’t. I like some of them better than others.

As a rule the simpler ones are better. (Emphasis mine). ~ Jeffrey Foucault, singer/songwriter  Via: http://www.midwesterngentleman.com/stories/jeffrey-foucault-interview/

Leave your phone home . . . via Jeffrey Foucault

Via: jeffreyfoucault.com    Leave your phone home, go outside every day, and fight the bastard in the oval office at every opportunity. Remember, this isn’t right or normal. This president is in a different category altogether, one beyond politics. He’s everything you were raised not to be: a bully, liar, racist, cad, whiner, and braggart; a moral cipher; an ignorant, incurious man who stands for nothing, is immune to truth and logic, and can’t be accused of holding any principle beyond his own aggrandizement. He’s a demagogue, and he’s dangerous. Do your part. ~ Jeffrey Foucault

Any Town Will Do – John State – lyrics & link

Posted on January 29, 2017

Any Town Will Do If you’re rolling out west with your game face on, rolling out cigarettes, crying on the phone, it won’t take much to make you feel gone, for a night or two, any town will do. Phoenix to Santa Fe with the radio on, feels like living in a Neil Young song. But you won’t feel right ’til you get yourself wrong. For a night or two, any town will do. High desert passes, gas station sunglasses. Your heart like a sunset, wild and free, and there was always something you were meant to be, for a night or two, any town will do. And your life is just a movie in the bar back mirror, everyone’s a stranger, nothing is…
