Future Tense
I was born in Arkansas
Been next door in Tennessee
Said I was born in Arkansas
Been next door in Tennessee
Everywhere I go
Rich people try to make a fool
Out of me.
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't mean to cause you any harm
Said, I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't mean to cause you any harm
The dogs bark
And the caravan moves on
The dogs bark
And the caravan moves on

The House Is On Fire
The house is on fire
Everyone is runnin' 'round
I said the house is on fire
Everything is burnin' down
It's time for you and me
To sound a loud alarm
It's time for you and me
To ask what's goin' on
The fire's so damn hot
There's ashes in the air
The fire's so damn hot
People burnin' over there
The house is on fire
Everyone is runnin' 'round
I said the house is on fire
Everything is burning down

My love of harmonica began as a child in the South. My love of guitar came about a little later--I use it to compose songs--
for example all the songs on the 2022 release, Trouble Times.
I was born in Arkansas and lived in Texas, Louisiana and Virginia. Eventually, I lived in France for three years before settling in Boston for a time.
I live in Michigan now.
