Mining town

2005-04-04T23:19:00.000-07:00

Good as coal aint good at all
The mine has caved on in
The women cry and drink too much
the work has killed the men
Another grave, keep digging boys
Say an irish prayer
Too soon to go at twenty one
A mother's heart will tear

4 miles out of Plymouth
Into Luzerne
The heart of Pennsylvania
the heart of fire burned
Down a Hole with walls that wait
to give up on the hold
And leave all of hundred and ten
buried below

Cool thing i just discovered.
Millions of other people have already discovered it though.
You can put music on there. Which is pretty sweet.
sweet indeed

a verse in my head , had to put it down

2005-03-25T00:36:00.000-08:00

The wall clock ticks
I'll shoot it down
and leave it where it falls
the night will burn
just like a fuse
ten thousand miles long

On the corner of 6th street and .......where the hell are we

South by South WEsT
Went to another SXSW. I always like the vibe. Good vibes man, good vibes.
Todd snider played 4 times and we didn't get to see one preformance. One of these days Todd i'll kick your ass.
Couldn't Find the Real World house.
Played "a song for you" down on sixth street. Mary Lou Lord let me borrow her guitar ,her microphone and her amp hooked up to car battery. Made around 8 dollars. Used money for cigarettes.
Saw Bruce robison at the Broken spoke. I think that place used to be a chicken house. It was very short. Short but sweet. Bruce is to tall for the spoke. But those people love to Dance. I don't think they give a shit who is playing.
Buffalo Exchange is a pawn shop. A vintage clothes pawn shop. You give them old clothes and they give you money. That is soo awesome.
Saw Elijah Wood walking down Congress. He was pissed off at someone on his cel phone. Asked him if he had "the precious". He didn't.
Went to Waterloo Records, bought Scott Miller's "thus always to tyrants" and the gram parsons book "hickory wind".
Eli young band has a catchy sound. Kinda like Randy Rogers. Not Kenny Rogers.
Also didn't get to see Bobby Bare Jr and James McMurtry. That sucks.
Walking down the street. "Jones" cream soda bus parked by the curb. No lights on in the bus.People in the bus.Smoking weed in the bus. Cooler outside.Took a jones cream soda out.Pretty good stuff. Never heard of "Jones" before. Cans filled with LSD.
Good times

There's a house out on this highway
and it's haunted by it's ghosts
I still don't know their names

They drag their chains alot
Down the halls and into my bedroom
I haven't slept for days

That Evil Sun
Lurks around the garden
And the flowers, they don't bloom no more

They've been dead so long
Got no spirit left to come on back
Just like a Desert Rose

By Morning, we'll meet up

2005-03-04T19:46:00.000-08:00

Lay The blankets on the Ground, and pray
the STARS are just kiNd enougH , Too STay
And if you leave, LET me sleep
In the grASS or the weeds
with a smile upon this face
Seems like i've never known before

So Stay IN The HiLLS
If the River's overflowing
And by MorNing, If there even is one
We'll meet up

broken song

2005-02-27T17:59:00.000-08:00

You Can Hear a broken song
Even Tools just couldn't fix
Throw out the piano
To Rid your mind of it

It lays in the cemetary
and sleeps down in the graves
The violin just drags it out
So it begin's to play

And just like a bombshell
no use but decoration
Some Turn away or watch awhile
and touch with hesitation

Thinking about Drinking,

2005-01-29T18:16:00.000-08:00

But i haven't done it yet. Good Beer and Good Music is one of the things i live for.
But i'd take music over beer anyday.

you booze
you cruise
you lose

I'm going to Mississippi
With Blind dog Fulton
Got a Money Roll
and a Telecaster
go the Roads where Jesus hung
Devil has a black guitar
But he can't play no faster

DEDRINGERS REVIEW - 1/22/05
Very impressed by that duo. They played a long set.
played some Bob Dylan and Gram Parsons.
Their voices mixed well together and they had good guitar leads.
Good "off the paved path" lyrics

Woke up this morning at 6:00 am. I haven't done that in a long long time.
Drove from Austin back to Lufkin.
It is a different feeling waking up early when there is still some night in the sky and driving a long distance while the sun is coming up.
Felt like a Trucker.
Listened to a Austin country radio station on the way out.
One guy called in and said he had went and watched Jason Boland and Cory Morrow over the weekend.
He said the crowd gave Cory some good support. keep rockin brother.
