Welcome to my new series.  A special version of Lyric Today/Hear it Tomorrow.  This song was inspired by Lloyd Reading's Tuesday evening visit to my home recording studio, The BuckarooM, and by my first exposure to John Mellancamp's new CD.  I listened to it on my way to work this morning, and found that it to be quite an inspiration. 

This song will be released underground tomorrow, or the next, or the next one after that, all depending on which songs of mine become the squeakiest wheels clamoring for grease.  You'll find it at:

Bury me in the Bakersfield Sound Underground

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008

Nu Bako Sound Recordings

I don't want no fancy casket

when it's time, just put me down

my only wish?

to be burried

in the Bakersfield sound underground

I don't ask to be next to

Buck Owens

or Don Rich

by contrast

I'm a Kern County clown

just bring shovel

if you show up

bury me

in the Bakersfield sound underground

you don't even have to go

to my funeral

I'll be too dead

to cry or even frown

just bury me

six feet under

in the Bakersfield sound underground
