The Sounds of Sunshine

With thanks to Derrick Bostrom, here's a another request filled. Sort of the Lettermen on quaaludes.

Wilderness Years

Days roll along
One into the other
All the time in the world, it seems
The next thing you know
There's one less day
And slightly taller weeds

The Copy Cats

For a band of copy cats, this one is pretty fooking great. Thanks so much to Lee for sending this one ... and all you who have made contributions (you know who you are).

A smart, very smart comp.

L'Avventura

And what happened to us
Is what happens to everyone
Sooner or later
And later is sooner than we think

All of the free monthly downloads that Bandcamp allows got used up in the very first day. Please consider purchasing. Thanks.

Songs for a Blue Girl

Nothing goes right
Never has, never will
Won't ever be happy
Can't feel the thrill
Nothing will change her
Lord knows I've tried
Used my best jokes
And she merely sighed

Swingin' Sounds for Secret Agents

I want to thank the one (!) person who actually donated to the Bandcamp/ACLU campaign from this site. Not a lot, considering how many page visits I get on a daily basis. I did receive some unsupportive messages (including one guy who accused me of me ranting and being mentally unstable), and that's disheartening considering that the ACLU is there for anyone whose civil rights are being violated. The air is thick now with disinformation, lunacy and hatred. Music can help clear some of that air, and for those who think it shouldn't, perhaps they should listen to some early Dylan records. If the spirit still moves you, please consider donating directly to the ACLU.

Rusty Kershaw

Some early Rusty.
