We got the delta of the mighty Mississipp’ Dr. John’s patois – oh really quite hip Shotgun houses from front to rear Just being humble, just being clear People call us crazy, but we still want to live here! We got a real rich French and Spanish history Who can say no to beignets and chicory? Huey P’s name is something we hold dear Just being humble, am I being clear? People call us crazy, but we still want to live here! We got potholes the size of a country or two I do love my gumbo with a spicy roux Six feet below sea level, Green Wave to cheer Just being humble, hoping to be clear People call us crazy, but we still want to live here! Humidity and heat melts you on the spot Buried ‘bove ground and the music’s scorchin’ hot! Big Easy’s the norm, back at ‘cha next year Just being humble, did I make myself clear? People call us crazy, but we still want to live here!

The stars are bright as I drive tonight Back to San Angelo. The years have past and still I ask Why’d I decide to go? Follow your dreams they said But I always looked back instead. Your green eyes to my surprise Stole my young heart away And as we grew I always knew I’d be moving west to LA Follow your dreams you said But I always looked back instead. Welcome to the Memory Café Open every night, open every day. The menu’s mostly free but sometimes you gotta pay You’ll always have a seat at the Memory Café. The stars are bright as I drive tonight Moonlight dancing on the snow. Reflecting time in a song that’s mine With words from long ago Follow your dreams I said But I always looked back instead. Welcome to the Memory Café Open every night, open every day. The menu’s mostly free but sometimes you gotta pay You’ll always have a seat at the Memory Café.

Escucho la melodía de tu amor Incluso si aparte hay una razón Me encanta saber que tu canción Está tocando su melodía en mi corazón

New Orleans is my hometown And I know for sure it will always be around. Sometime you win, sometimes you lose Make no mistake, it’s just how you choose. I believe the sun will shine every day; I know it’s true The melody of your soul plays on; I have faith in you. NOLA will survive To live another day. NOLA will survive Laissez les bon temps rouler! It’s funny how life moves on You snap your fingers, and then it’s gone. I find strength in my point of view I’ll never waiver when it comes to you. I believe the sun will shine every day; I know it’s true The melody of your soul plays on; I have faith in you. NOLA will survive To live another day. NOLA will survive Laissez les bon temps rouler! New Orleans

about

In 2020, just before COVID-19 lockdown began, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 throat cancer. After surviving the treatment, I began thinking about songs that I had started but never finished. My recovery caused me to realize how much I wanted to finally get those songs recorded.

Most of the songs on this EP are the result of my musical musing process. However, tracks 1 and 5 are from the score I was asked to write for a musical about New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.

So here they are - the first installment of my songs that almost slipped away. I hope you enjoy them!
