Monday morning on Merle Haggard Drive: Join my early morning traffic "Jam"

 I'll be performing songs from my forthcoming audio/spoken word CD, From Buck Owens Boulevard to Merle Haggard Drive and experimenting with style combinations as I try to construct a freeway to the New Bako Sound by juxtaposing old and new styles.  

The show will begin around 8:15 am.  I'll meet you at the new Starbucks, right next door to Denny's on Merle Haggard Drive.

 Low turn-out, as usual, though I'm not complaining, it only keeps me humble and hungry, and it only adds to my underdog credentials.  I did play a short set, and then I used the remaining  time when nobody stopped by to write 3 new songs for the CD.  Here are the lyrics:

Merle, My Mentor

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008

Merle, my mentor

You're the center

I will follow you until I die

Merle, you've got a

way with words

and I oughta

study hard

at your hard knock school

 

chorus:

mentor me

mentor me

with songs about

heartbreak's misery

mento me

set me free

Merle Haggard

won't you mentor me

 

Merle, my mentor

got a girl

and heaven sent her

but your songs make my world go round

she does the two-step

to swingin' doors

in the wood shed

that's where we dance

to your songs from dusk to dawn

(chorus)
