Hey pretty baby, are you ready for me
It’s your good rockin’ daddy down from Tennessee
I’m just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin’ and the bird dog on

There’s a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town
But no local yokel gonna shut me down
‘Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
And we’ve come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town

Nothin’ ever happened ‘round my hometown
And I ain’t the kind to just hang around
But I heard someone callin’ my name one day
And I followed that voice down the lost highway
Everybody told me you can’t get far
On 37 dollars and a jap guitar
Now I’m smokin’ into Texas with the hammer down
And a rockin’ little combo from the Guitar Town

Hey pretty baby don’t you know it ain’t my fault
I love to hear the steel belts hummin’ on the asphalt
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
Stumble in the restaurant wonderin’ why I don’t stop

Well, I gotta keep rockin’ why I still can
Got a two pack habit and a motel tan
When my boots hit the boards I’m a brand new man
With my back to the riser, I make my stand

Hey pretty baby, won’t you hold me tight
I’m loadin’ up and rollin’ out of here tonight
One of these days, I’m gonna settle down
And take you back with me to the Guitar Town

Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well it's the same room, but everything's different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream

Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky

Well, there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, the weather with you

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather, the weather with you

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather, the weather with you

SRV was one of the most amazing guitarists I got to witness live a number of times.

The sound, the beauty, the blues. He could sound like Jimi but he did his own thing at an electrifying pace.

Here is his mellowest song… for his wife…Lenny. RIP Lenny…..hope you 2 are together.

Enjoy your weekend…..War Is Over If You Want It ….And We All Want It Over

Johnny  Green and The Blues Cowboys. One of the best ever little honky tonk-blues-billy bar bands in Australia. Beer was always flowing, the dance floor was heaving and sweating, and this was during the first set....of 3. Not much of their stuff online....this goes back away!

Hot Dog

Well, my baby works in a hot dog stand
Making them hot dogs as fast as she can
Up steps a cat and yells don't be slow
And get me two hot dogs ready to go

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Well, in the cool of the evening when the sun goes down
All the chicks and the cats all gather around
They order hot dogs and red soda pop
Then head down the road to a hep cat hop

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Well, I'm a-waiting for my baby every night at twelve
She closes up the shop and then we lose ourselves
At a hep cat hop, in a crazy way
We're a-doin' the bop till the break of day

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

No one I know is sitting at home waiting for the bluebuck antelope to return to the plains of the Earth.

As many more species head towards extinction, the focus of scientists and the world should be on conserving what we have. Spending millions of dollars on an interesting scientific project is taking your eye off the ball. I won’t even go into where this could all lead for humanity. Who would you bring back? Jerry Garcia or Hitler?

Our planet, our home, needs our help. Read below….

A rendering of a bluebuck, created with the assistance of AI by Colossal Biosciences.

Today the Dallas-based company announced it has been secretly working to resurrect the bluebuck, a majestic antelope that’s been extinct for around 200 years.

Ben Lamm, Colossal Biosciences CEO, told CNN that the move would be “reversing some of the sins of the past.”

Efforts began in 2024. The biotech company extracted DNA from a bluebuck specimen in the Swedish Museum of Natural History to piece together the species’ genome. From this, scientists have deciphered which genetic variants express the antelope’s key physical traits, including its blue-gray pelt, white patch in front of the eyes and long curved horns.

Colossal says its analysis confirmed the sable and roan antelope are the bluebuck’s closest genetic relatives. It is using the roan as a cellular surrogate, editing roan DNA to bring it closer to the bluebuck’s appearance — a process that is underway. (CNN)

Said the condor to the preying mantis
“We’re gonna lose this place just like we lost Atlantis
Brother, we got to go sooner than you know”
The Gypsy told my fortune, she said that nothin’ showed

Well, who put the bomb on the sacred altar?
Why should we die if it comes our way?
And why should we care about a little button
Being pushed by someone we don’t even know?

Well, I wish I was an Aztec
Or a runner in Peru
I would build such beautiful buildings
To house the chosen few
Like an Inca from Peru
Like an Inca

If you want to get high, build a strong foundation
Sink those pylons deep now and reach for the sky
If you want to get lost in the jungle rhythm
Get down on the ground and pretend you’re swimmin’

If you want to put ice in the lava river
First you must climb, then you must stand and shiver
Brother we got to go sooner than you know
The Gypsy told my fortune, the Gypsy told my fortune
The Gypsy told my fortune, she said that nothing showed

Well, I wish I was an Aztec
Or a runner in Peru
I would build such beautiful buildings
To house the chosen few
Like an Inca from Peru
Like an Inca
Like an Inca
Like an Inca

Said the condor to the preying mantis
“We’re gonna lose this place just like we lost Atlantis
Brother, we got to go sooner than you know”
The Gypsy told my fortune, the Gypsy told my fortune
The Gypsy told my fortune, she said that nothin’ showed

Ah, who put the bomb on the sacred altar?
Why should we die if it comes our way?
Why should we care about a little button
Being pushed by someone we don’t even know?

Well, I wish I was an Aztec
Or a runner in Peru
I would build such beautiful buildings
To house the chosen few
Like an Inca from Peru
Like an Inca
Like an Inca

I feel sad, but I feel happy
As I’m coming back to home
There’s a bridge across the river
That I have to cross alone
Like a skipping rolling stone
Like an Inca-Neil Young

Let’s just talk about music as April 2026 fades into the mist. As I mentioned at the start of the year, I was going to be listening to older releases and visiting old friends who have been gathering dust in the crates of records scattered in my mind.

I took a detour this past month. I did do a deep dive into all the Subdudes releases, best of in my opinion, setlist is enclosed here for your listening pleasure. My detour was into New Releses for 2026. They were like candy sitting in a drawer, like that sweet treat you bought for later on, I just had to bite into some of these morsels now.

What did I find? In no particualr order, here are some I think you should check out.

https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/61737724 This is the Qobuz Playist link and the Evil Spotify List is below…

1-Johnny Blue Skies and The Dark Clouds-Mutiny After Midnight-Sturgill Simpson has created another masterpiece. It’s a country, disco, political firestorm. Just turn it up. Oh yeah, you will have to track it down on You Tube or buy a physical copy as he is not streaming it ….yet.

2-Cash Savage and The Last Drinks With Kutcha Edwards-Live At The Forum II-This combination of this proud Aboriginal man and his voice and words with one of the best Melbourne rock bands is the best live Australian album of the year. Hands down. Having seen them perform a handful of songs in April for Kutcha’s 60th birthday bash I am glad to have this collection to remind me of their musical powers.

3-William Crighton-Colonial Drift-This is an Australian Album the world should get to know. This album is about humanity. This album is about country. This album should be heard by all of us here on this land. This planet. And how Aussie is that album cover….Hills Hoist and all.

4-Melissa Carper and Theo Lawrence-Havin’ A Talk-Texas-based Nebraskan born bassist and singer Carper and Paris-born Texas-based Lawrence get together for a musical conversation. Charming duets from this lovely musical duo.

5-Band Of Heathens- Country Sides-25 years plus and this band leans into what they do best. Soulful, country, like a well-worn flannel shirt. Comfy, warm and just like grits, beans and cornbread.

6-Neba Solo and Benego Diakité - A Djinn And A Hunter Went Walking (The Complete Sessions-The CD version of A Djinn and a Hunter Went Walking comprises two discs from Neba Solo and Diakité, the leading players of their traditional Malian instruments the marimba-like balafon, or bala, and donso n’goni, a hunter’s harp. On disc one, their acoustic instrumentals are complemented by vocals and percussion as well as touches of mellotron, guitar, and strings; the second disc features their original duo performances, unadorned, recorded in a Bamako garden under a mango tree. They started after the sun went down, and crickets can be heard chirping during the quiet moments.(from birdland.com.au)

7-Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials-Slideways-Ed has been playing the slide for almost 50 years, and that is one hell of a career. This is his first record in a decade and it’s damn near perfect. Get slideways.

8-Ry Cooder and David Lindley-Electric on The Eel (1990)-Cooder and Lindley. I was lucky enough to see them share a stage, with thousands of other NOLA Jazz ffetival peeps in 1994. Booby King and Terry Evans joined them. Earlier in the day, I was also there to see Ry Cooder with Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure. Please note, these two dudes can play…as if you did not know.

9-Tony Trischka-Earl Jam 2-Tony Trischka’s Earl Jam 2 revives rare Earl Scruggs–John Hartford home recordings with fresh energy and faithful precision. Joined by stars like Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Del McCoury, Sierra Ferrell, The SteelDrivers, the Gibson Brothers, and Sister Sadie, Trischka transforms these fifteen tunes into a vibrant celebration of Scruggs’ legacy and the living spirit of bluegrass.(bandcamp)

I have been listening to Tony for as long as I can recall bluegrass.

10-Parlour Greens-Emeralds-Tim Carman (Canyon Lights, formerly of GA-20) on drums, Jimmy James (True Loves) on guitar, and Adam Scone (Scone Cash Players, The Sugarman 3) on organ. Seasoned and soulful pros coming together to make infectiously funky instrumental jams. Get Green!

11-Laura Chavez-My Voice-Chavez has always been a joy to see live. Here she is with hr first solo record, and you get a good taste of her voice, her guitar. Enjoy the instrumentals. Love what she has done to “So Long, Baby, Goodbye” orignally recorded by The Blasters.

12-Imarhan-Essam-Algerian Tuareg desert rock music. There 4th release. This music soothes my soul.

13-Tinariwen-Hoggar-The pioneers of the desert blues scene. It resonates through my heart and soul….

There are some other odds and ends on this playlist. Enjoy.

And my Grateful Dead listening this month was from this 9-concert collection.

11 April 1978 Fox Theatre, Atlanta, Georgia-Betty recording, but the energy is not grabbing me. Might revisit this box set another time…as there are more gems to listen to.

Wilco Roadcase Live Recording, Austin, 5 December 2024-You can download this from https://wilcostore.com/collections/roadcase for a slight fee. I have quite a few of these Soundboard recordings….this one is A++

Wilco Roadcase Live Recording # 77-From the Solid Sound Festival….another joyous night with Wilco.

Wilco Roadcase gigs can be purchased here:
https://wilcostore.com/collections/roadcase Someday I’d love to hear them all….but my pockets are not that deep….I do have a bunch that I purchased….some shows I have been to…even my first Wilco show at The Enmore in Sydney, which is a cherished recording….and moment in time.

I also spent a portion of April listening to the entire output of The subdudes. Hailing from N’awlins, I became a fan after witnessing them a few decades ago at the NOLA Jazz Festival.

IF you dig Los Lobos, The Neville Brothers and Little Feat, you will dig this playlist.

https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/61986516 Here is the Qobuz link….

Someday when Qobuz allows me to embed playlists I will stop Spotify. You should leave Spotify too. Qobuz pays artists more moola.

Who knew he was a Phish fan?

Yes, the actual Earth Day passed me by. There was no mention in my news feed. I must have been busy.
But not a day goes by that I do not cherish this planet and the beauty it gives each and every one of us.

What’s your favourite planet?

Threatened Public Lands Map (USA)

Tracking active threats to America’s protected places

Australia is one of 17 megadiverse countries, yet we are leading the world in mammal extinctions. More than 100 unique Australian species have been driven to extinction. Dozens more are on the edge of being wiped out forever.

Australia currently hosts more than 250 data centres, with the majority concentrated in New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria. Growth has accelerated rapidly in recent years. Total national data centre occupancy increased fortyfold between 2005 and 2025, with two-thirds of that growth occurring since 2020. Global data centre capacity is further expected to double between 2026 and 2030. (USCC 2025)

Australia faces significant water security challenges as the driest inhabited continent, driven by climate change, droughts, and population growth. Key risks include reduced rainfall, increased demand, and aging infrastructure. and increased DATA CENTRE DEVELOPMENT.

And if you live in America, under that fascist regime that does not believe in Climate Change Science….and ‘drill, baby, drill’ is not just a slogan…..check out this list of destruction below.

Earth….it’s my favourite planet. Here are some pictures I’ve snapped….isn’t it a great place?

Take care of OUR HOME….it’s the only one we have.

When I was young I was told that
Noah dropped down in his boat on top of a mountain
God gave him a rainbow to signal that he would not
Destroy the earth by floodin’ it again
But ever since I was young I been watchin’ the world
And it feels like the whole thing’s burnin’
All I need is a little reaffirmation
He ain’t tryin’ to destroy us all again...
By fire this time!

So send me, won’t you send me down a double rainbow
So I know that you are you and you are listenin’
So I know that you are you and there at all

Rich men say you better pick up
And get your body back into workin’
Don’t mess around with psychedelic drugs
If we catch you with that stuff we’ll put your ass in prison

So I told ‘em, I said “You, you ain’t never been a poor man’s child
But me, I’m in the streets and I’m runnin’ wild
I had an AK-47 but I traded it in for a smile, I went wild
‘Cause I’m a psychedelic priest on my best days
And I’m a real world beast on the rest days
I’m a downtown bitch in the best way
And I been workin’ like a dog”

I said “Hell naw!” —me and the children of the two rainbows
I said “Hell naw!” —can you feel it if it’s not your bottom line?
I said “Hell naw!” —when fate is speakin’ and she don’t speak softly
Well, I hope that you’ve enjoyed your time in the sun

I’ve woken in a haze so many times before
Ushered through the fog, into the dark
Followed by a slamming door, oh what for

Through a window there’s a park and people laughing
With smiles as wide, as any smiled before,

And these,
Marijuana mornings clear the fog out of my sky
And the lies I tell myself that can’t come true
And the only thing I really need until the day I die
Are these marijuana mornings next to you
For these mornings seem to have the clearest view.

Waking up slow next to you, is moving so fast,
Can it last?
When it’s everything that is true
You shine your light down on my silver wings, But it’s hard to see,
Behind the devil’s door...

And these,
Marijuana mornings clear the fog out of my sky
And the lies I tell myself that can’t come true
And the only thing I really need until the day I die
Are these marijuana mornings next to you
For these mornings seem to have the clearest view.


Somewhere outside dreams a baby’s crying,
Crying for life, crying for love, catch my dreams,
Catch my fall….

And these,
Marijuana mornings clear the fog out of my sky
And the lies I tell myself that can’t come true
And the only thing I really need until the day I die
Are these marijuana mornings next to you
For these mornings seem to have the clearest view.

This gathering is making me vomit.

King Charles officially stripped Prince Andrew of his remaining royal titles, HRH style, and military affiliations in late 2025 following intense pressure regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Yet, here he is in the presence of the alleged pedophile in chief. What does this say to you?

Yes, they are all part of a big club, and we will never be part of it.

Prince Andrew paid an undisclosed amount to Virginia Giuffre in February 2022 to settle her civil sexual assault lawsuit, avoiding a trial. While officially confidential, reports widely estimate the settlement was around £12 million ($16.3 million), with some reports suggesting it could have been as high as $20 million or as low as £3 million. (TIME)

Virginia Giuffre died by her own hand on April 25, 2025.

When will accountability and justice be served?

If you really want to know what took place and is taking place with this so-called Epstein Class, read through the three Substack publications below this picture.

RIP Virginia.

Charles, Camilla, Donald and Melania….there is a special place in hell waiting for you.

What we’re living in?
Lemme tell ya
Yeah, it’s a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we’ll be doing for us
And I’m giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can’t see, I can’t breathe
No more will we be
And nothing’s gonna change the way we live
‘Cause we can always take, but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse, see
Whoa, it’s a crazy world we’re living in
And I just can’t see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these
Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground
And I’m thinking what a mess we’re in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother can choose the color
Of her child, that’s not nature’s way
Well, that’s what they said yesterday
There’s nothing left to do, but pray
I think it’s time to find a new religion
Whoa, it’s so insane
To synthesize another strain
There’s something in these futures
That we have to be told
Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, wow
Now there is no sound
If we all live underground
And now it’s virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there’s nothing so bad
As a man-made man
Oh, yeah, I know, yeah (take it to the dance floor)
I know I can’t go on
Of this virtual insanity we’re living in
Has got to change, yeah
Things will never be the same
And I can’t go on
Where we’re living in
Oh, oh, virtual insanity
Oh, this world
He’s got to change
‘Cause I just
I just can’t keep going on in this virtual, virtual insanity
That we’re living in, that we’re living in
And that virtual insanity is what is, yeah
Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, oh
Futures made of, now, virtual insanity
Now we all, we seem to be governed by a love
For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
And now there is no sound, for we all live underground
Yes, we do, oh
now this life that we live in
(Virtual insanity) it’s all going wrong
Out of the window (living in)
Do you know there is nothing worse than (virtual insanity)
a man-made man
(Virtual insanity) there’s nothing worse than
(Living in) a foolish man
(Virtual insanity) hey!
Virtual insanity is what we’re living in, yeah
Well... It’s alright

I’ve seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire that I was standing in
Met the devil in Seattle and spent 9 months inside the lions den
Met Buddha yet another time and he showed me a glowing light within
But I swear that God is there every time I glare in the eyes of my best friend
Says my son it’s all been done and someday you’re gonna wake up old and gray
So go and try to have some fun showing warmth to everyone
You meet and greet and cheat along the way

There’s a gateway in our mind that leads somewhere out there far beyond this plane
Where reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your pain
Tell me how you make illegal something that we all make in our brain
Some say you might go crazy but then again it might make you go sane

Every time I take a look inside that old and fabled book
I’m blinded and reminded of the pain caused by some old man in the sky
Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT they all changed the way I see
But love’s the only thing that ever saved my life

So don’t waste your mind on nursery rhymes
Or fairy tales of blood and wine
It’s turtles all the way down the line
So to each their own til’ we go home
To other realms our souls must roam
To and through the myth that we all call space and time

Just another night in DC….

I loved the Traffic Songs I heard as a pre-teen. Still do.

Mason’s Alone Together released in 1970, is a masterpiece and his best work. I loved that marbled vinyl.

Saw him a number of times in the middle 70’s, the years not his age.

Thanks for all the music Dave and most of all for this song.

And of course, this infamous cover from Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Seems I’ve got to have a change of scene
Every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I’ve got to leave before I start to scream
Won’t someone lock the door and turn the key

Feeling alright (oh, no)
I’m not feeling too good myself (on, no)
If I feeling alright (oh, no)
I’m not feeling that good myself, yeah (oh, no)

Boy, you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and I wonder why
That when I think of you I stop myself from crying
I just can’t waste my time, I must keep trying
Got to stop believing in all your lies
‘Cause there’s to much to do before I die, hey

Feeling alright (oh, no)
I’m not feeling too good myself (oh, no)
Oh no, feeling alright (oh, no)
I’m not feeling too good myself (oh, no)

Don’t you get to lost in all I say
Yeah, but at the time you know, I really felt that way
But that was then and now you know it’s today
I can’t escape I guess I’m here to stay
‘Til someone comes along and take my place
With a different name or in a different place

Feeling alright (oh, no)
I’m not feeling that good myself (oh, no)
Feeling alright, I don’t know why’s that, hey (oh, no)
I’m not feeling that good myself (oh, no)

Oh, you’re feeling alright (oh, no)
Yeah, I’m not feeling that good myself (oh, no)
Oh-oh, woah, I’m lonely
But I’m not feeling good myself (oh, no)
You can turn away

Feeling alright (oh, no)
Ahh, I’m not feeling too good myself, I tell you (oh, no)
Oh, you feeling alright now (oh, no)
Hey, I don’t feel okay this mornin’ (oh, no)

Enjoy your weekend…..War Is Over If You Want It ….And We All Want It Over
It's ANZAC Day....Lest We Forget....off to The MCG....

Sleep, Australia, sleep
The night is on the creep
Shut out the noise all around
Sleep, Australia, sleep
And dream of counting sheep
Jumping in fields coloured brown

Who’ll rock the cradle and cry?
Who’ll rock the cradle and cry?
Sleep, Australia, sleep
As off the cliff the kingdoms leap
Count them as they say goodbye

Count down the little things
The insects and birds
Count down the bigger things
The flocks and the herds
Count down our rivers
Our pastures and trees
But there’s no need to hurry
Oh, sleep now, don’t worry
‘Coz it’s only a matter of degrees

Fog, Australia, fog
Just like the boiling frog
As we go we won’t feel a thing

Who’ll rock the cradle and cry?
Who’ll rock the cradle and cry?
Sleep, my country, sleep
As off the cliff the kingdoms leap
Count them as they pass on by

Our children might know them
But their children will not
We won’t know ‘til it’s gone
All the glory we’ve got
But there are more wonders coming
All new kinds of shows
With acid seas rising
To kiss coastal mountains
Big cyclones pounding
And firestorms devouring
And we’ll lose track of counting
As the corpses keep mounting
But hey, that’s just the way this old world goes

Sleep, my country, sleep
As we sow so shall we reap
Who’ll rock the cradle and cry?

BONUS-Paul Kelly Live At The Hopetoun 1986-Not the best quality…but gives you an idea of what he was like 40 years ago at 30.

My initial experience was at this same venue with Paul Kelly weeks before this was filmed. There were some amazing Sunday Afternoon sessions…. sets long.

Check this letter out….you may not recall it. Or maybe you were not even born.

He was such a liberal back then…..mmmmm….he wrote ‘let’s help our farmers, our sick and our homeless’….he sounded like he almost cared back then.

Of course, he was just full of hot air because, as you can see, he does not care for anyone but himself.

And now only 1/3 of Americans approve of him…..and he is sinking like a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

For the World? Trump does not care for the World. If he did, he would not have started this TOTALLY UNECESSARY WAR.

Even Tucker Carlson is apologising….everyone who supported this Orange Regime is running for cover.

But the world is still in trouble….Wake Up America …..

Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favourite
Don't you hate it?


(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)


Baby, life's what you make it
Don't backdate it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty's naked


(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
What you make it

Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it, anticipate it
Yesterday's faded, nothing can change it
Life's what you make it

(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
(Everything's all right)
(Everything's all right)
Make it, make it
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it

This record was purchased somewhere in Upstate New York. That is all I can recall.

There were 2 reasons I purchased it.

1-The Album Cover-Just look at it….I love it. I think I saw it somewhere, with my eyes closed, while in an altered state.

2-Special Rider Blues-The Skip James song below is covered on this record.

Just so you know, I still visit this record today, 58 years after it was entered into the cut-out bin. You should have a listen…..I don’t think it will disappoint you.

The late Mark Sandman and the other members of the band Morphine may have heard this record.

Wrap your ears around it….let me know if you dig it.

This was not your typical 1968 psychedelic record.

Nancy Jeffries (vocals), Bill Barth (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bottleneck guitar), Luke Faust (banjo, guitjo, vocals), Robert Palmer (alto saxophone, clarinet, recorder), Trevor Koehler (baritone saxophone, piccolo, drum, thumb piano, upright bass)

Check out the instruments used above. What was happening here? Here is a short write-up that covers it:
With all five members contributing material “The Insect Trust” somehow managed to incorporate influences ranging from 1920s-era anti-war tracts (’World War I Song’), bluegrass (’Foggy River Bridge Fly’), C&W, jazz, discordant avant garde (the second half of ‘The Skin Game’), blues (the blazing ‘Special Rider Blues’) and what would even pass as a precursor to today’s world music genre (’Going Home’).

Propelled by Jeffries’ crystalline voice and the band’s penchant for unusual instrumentation and bizarre arrangements (often within the same song), to my ears the results were simply fascinating. Personal favorites; the mesmerizing ‘Miss Fun City’ and the sweet ballad ‘Been Here and Gone So Soon’. Clearly too unusual for radio (to say nothing of the rank and file listening public), the album instantly landed in cutout bins.(from badcatrecord.com)

See ya later….from deep in the Cut Out Bin.

We’re setting sail to the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burned
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It’s the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby
You will pay tomorrow
You’re gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow

Oh, oh, oh
Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don’t want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don’t want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no
I want to run and hide right now

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Or drowning in the oceans of history
Traveling the world, you’re in search of no good
But I’m sure you’ll build your Sodom like you knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As you’re little boat struggles through the warning waves, but you don’t pay

You will pay tomorrow
You’re gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
You’re gonna pay tomorrow

Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don’t want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no
Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don’t want to sail with this ship of fools
Where’s it comin’ from?
Oh, where’s it goin’ to?
It’s just a, it’s just a ship of fools

All abord now
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...
