“I wanna laugh while the laughin’ is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
We may never pass this way again, that’s why I want it with you.
‘Cause, you make me feel like I’m more than a friend. Like I’m the journey and you’re the journey’s end.
We may never pass this way again, that’s why I want it with you…”

The next song being added to my cover bands’ catalog is Dream On. Uhhh, a little risky to say the least. If I don’t nail the scream at the end, it doesn’t mattter how well the rest of the song goes. 

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn’t that the way
Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it’s everybody’s sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
is in books’ written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it’s true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it’s just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it’s just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

Adding this great U2 song to the catalog of rock covers that my band Let Me Rock You will perform.

Isn’t it rich, are we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn’t it bliss, don’t you approve
One who keeps tearing around
One who can’t move
Where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Just when I’d stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don’t you love a farce
My fault I fear
I thought that you’d want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a surprise
Who could foresee
I’d come to feel about you
What you felt about me
Why only now when I see
That you’ve drifted away
What a surprise…
What a cliche…
Isn’t it rich, isn’t it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don’t bother, they’re here…

Getting ready for our gig at The National Underground on Monday, May 16 @ 10pm. Rehearsing the set list tonight which includes the great Supertramp tune, The Logical Song.

Another great American Idol last night. HALEY stumbled a little with her song choice. ‘Call Me’ is a great song but as Randy mentioned, not one to show off your voice.

CASEY’s performance, for my money, might have been the best performance EVER on the show. A slow, jazz interpretation of a Nat King Cole song? Are you kidding me? You know how ballsy you have to be to look America in the eye and say “This is what I got.”

When: Monday, May 16th @ 10pm

Where: The National Underground
