Bourbon Street Blues
Neon haze on cobblestone nights, whispers ride on the southern moonlight. Shadows dance in the lamplight’s gleam, bourbon burns, but so do my dreams. There's a preacher on the corner, selling sinners one last prayer. But the devil’s got a table, and he’s pulling up a chair. Oh, Bourbon Street, take my soul, drown my sins in rock and roll. Golden whiskey, lace and lies, where...

Hopin' and flyin' high Still somethin' was amiss, Just you know why ... It had to end like this Not fade away a shining star With three million records sold, Yet, silent fell his guitar ... And, glasses rest infold A sound never to be heard Soon after that final show, Boy, give us a clue, a word Maybe one day we'll know What happened that...

Premium Member Sitting on the dock of the bay
I was sitting on the dock of the bay listening to a song when Otis Redding happened to come walking along. He said, "You watching the ships roll in?" I said, "Yeah, and then watching ‘em roll away again." He said, "That stuff's really dug by some, but I think it’s all pretty much ho-hum." ...

Premium Member IT'S ONLY ROCK AND ROLL

Music derived from the rhythm and Blues, boogie-woogie, jazz...

Rock and Roll
In front of the China Palace restaurant there was a stone frog, it was not hatched in a cloud of spawn like the rest of us, it was decorative, placed as it was, upon a rock above an ornamental pond. Inside the China Palace there was, at some time, a similar stone frog, it could have been a female frog, hard to say for sure. If given a...

Premium Member You Were Always On My Mind
Maybe I didn't listen when you told me Your heart was gentle and kind Maybe I didn't understand, but you could have shown me... All the reasons you were going to move on All the feelings that were finally gone All the chances I had actually blown! Maybe I didn't know you because I never knew the way that you would leave me deceive me...

Premium Member Loud Rock and Roll Music
At one time loud rock and roll music Would drive me up the wall Guess I must have really mellowed out It no longer upsets me at all Either that or I'm losing my hearing That could be the reason Whichever the case it's sure a relief To finally get rid of those demons My son Scottie is into loud music Middle aged but...

Premium Member Rock N' Roll Pickle Party
Pickled okra, pickled beets Pickled corn and pickled beans Of all the pickles that I see Cucumber pickles are the best Dancers, players, pickles Celebrating, showing their Vinegar tails, their garlic Smells – dill with a zest All the aspects of becoming A pickle worthy of munching A pickle devoured by the ones Who pick these pickles From the depths of the jar Where they linger,...
