  • Somewhere

    Somewhere there’s a shadow growing old.
    Somewhere there’s a light being turned on in my soul.
    Heartbreak and the ladder’s of the rain.
    Song says there’s a answer to this pain.

  • Oh Honey

    Oh honey, oh dear,
    Whatcha’ been doin’
    Since you been here?

    You like sunny
    Eyes blue as the sea
    Tell me stories so funny
    So I can laugh and sing

    It’s cold and it’s snowin’
    We gotta chance to be free
    There’s a fire that’s still glowin’
    On the inside of me

    We’ll drink from the bottle
    Vintage Pouilly Fouisse
    We’ll swim through the oceans
    And dance in the valley

    Chorus:
    Over the hills and into the trees
    Riding so high, feeling so free
    Don’t turn around I want you to see
    Just what you mean to me.

    Mountains covered with sunshine
    Hills covered in snow
    Wind singing like angels
    Singing things we should know

    I wanna take you forever
    I wanna take you to sea
    Round ’bout like the angels
    Filled with harmony

    It’ll be so funny
    It’ll be so clear
    When we’re walkin’ on Sunshine
    When we’re walkin’ on air

    Oh honey, oh dear
    Whatcha’ been doin’
    Since you been here?

    You’re so funny
    You’re so sweet
    Lips like honey
    Eyes like the sea.

  • Where are You Goin’?

    Where are you goin’?
    Where are you runnin’ to?
    Aww, it’s me and you.

    Where are you goin’?
    What are you gonna do?
    Aww it’s me and you.

    The color’s open
    A peach I made for you
    From the morning dew

    The summer’s over
    But you still feel the white and blue
    Aww, it’s brimming through

    {bridge}

    The sky is open
    The sun is shining through
    The night is over
    The valley comes in view
    We talk it over
    Don’t know what we’re gonna do.

    The sun is shining
    So bright and green and blue
    Aww, I wanted you

    The Sun is shining
    So bright and green and blue
    Aww, I wanted to

    The sky is open
    The Sun is shining through
    My mind is flowing
    Here’s what we’re gonna’ do
    The sky is open
    This time we’ll slip right through

  • The Unnatural Phenomenon of Inflation

    Today on CNBC they said one could make a pile of money if one could guess when they would raise rates again. This highlights one of the biggest atrocities in the World’s economic system. Trillions of dollars are tied up in the currency futures, hedging the wild swings in the value of currency, trillions that could be invested in productive activities, if only the world had a stable unit of account. The price of commodities didn’t budge an inch from 1920-1971, 51 years of the greatest economic growth in world history. Then in 1971, at the urging of the monetarists, Nixon closed the London Gold window. Gold was $35 an ounce then, and oil was $3.50 a barrel. Inflation is not a natural occurring phenomenon, and especially not due to growth and prosperity. The only thing that causes inflation and deflation is an imbalance in the amount of liquidity in the system, a balance that is the single and only charter of the Federal Reserve. It is a failure of epic proportions.

  • Cotton Eye Joe Cover

     

    Cover of a Cover. Cover of Josh Rouse covering “Cotton Eye Joe.” Damn, I keep forgetting to turn the iPhone sideways for video. Will remember next time. Vocals not very clear because P.A. is way in the background and the iPhone mic is picking up mostly the guitar. Oh well just a test. Not bad.

    Damn, I also just realized I left out a whole verse!!! The one that goes, “I’ve been laughing in the sunshine. I’ve been lying in the rain. You know that living is easy, and I ain’t feelin’ no pain.”

    Oh well, do over. And next time I’ll have the camera sideways, and maybe try to play picking with my fingers, Brazilian style, like Josh plays it.
