manonrun

My answer to Lauper’s “Girls Just wanna have fun” which I played over and over last year but couldn’t get into. Back then there was a sports bar called “Coaches” (still is), I have not been there for a long time since they went UFC, but that place is what I think of when I sing this song….but its actually inspired initially by a guy name Ted.

(i) Clayton Weimer 2009

Found myself a bar, bought myself a beer
Look around to and fro, looks like the coast is clear
Bought myself another, not I’m feeling fine
My team just scored up on the screen, that girl she’s looking fine
I’m a man on the run.
Broke myself some dollars, bought myself some songs
Don’t want to sound to petty but free fall’s where my heart belongs
Now I feel the rhythm, now I feel the flow
She comes up to me, now, where do I want to go.
I’m a man on the run.
Found myself a highway, still weigh a load,
lets see what down that next exit
at the end of the road.

Searching For “Best” Doctors

My wife suggested to a friend that she talk to me about finding a good doctor, researching the best/worst etc.  Why me?  I ain’t no Doctor.  I don’t even play one on TV.
Well, I have a pretty good track record of researching for my loved ones, so I guess my wife thinks I have some [...]

ObamaMan

This is to the tune of Charlie Rich’s “Mohair Sam”. , the song that Elvis was playing on a bass in front of a TV when the Beatles came by to meet him. So I was just playing around, watching MSNBC going gaga for Obama, and figured, awe what the heck.   I just recorded it, [...]

Stage Fright Pills

One of this suggestions I heard for people who suffer stage-fright is to take atenolol or some other beta blocker (normally used for high blood pressure).
So, a few years ago, when I had stage fright (actually I was more of afraid of havin stage fright), I borrowed some from someone with high blood pressure).  I [...]
