Joined: January 2002 Posts: 14127 Location: 6 String Ranch | not sure if I'll save it for that night or use it tomorrow since it also has clue in it. Brad, it keys off a Cmaj7, then a c#dim, then Dm7 and G7. Has a James Taylor feel to it, except it's about DARBY. Here it is The Guy on the Roof by Bill Kaman 2-2-09 I woke up this morning, water’s coming down That’s not a good thing, inside the house She said now what are you going to do I said I haven’t got a clue But when you got a leak like this there’s only one thing you can do Call the guy who knows Call the guy who will go up on the roof Up on the roof It ain’t me, I ain’t that guy It’s too far down and I can’t fly I don’t like heights, I get vertigo I learned that lesson a long time ago But when you got a leak like this there’s only one place that you can go Call the guy who knows Call the guy who will go up on the roof Up on the roof Rode in on Huck-ker Bucker the mule Brought his guitar and all his tools Working and singing from up on high And the mule is making great big yard delights The neighbors are going crazy but they’re just jealous that they don’t have one too Up on the roof Call the guy who knows Call the guy who will go up on the roof, Up on the roof Darby up on the roof!!!!!! | ||

I got a guy coming over to install some cabinets in my laundry room in a couple of weeks. (I feel a song coming on.) | ||

The mold & mildew in my socks is giving my toes warts. Since you left me for the dry cleaning man, I got the laundry room blues. (It's a start) | ||

Joined: January 2002 Posts: 14127 Location: 6 String Ranch | So over the weekend we're up in NC at an indoor bluegrass festival, and Steve and I are sitting waiting for this line of people to slowly walk by us. It was crowded. This person who was right in front of us, I mean she was right in front of us with her back to us, turned around and leaned over to read the poster on the wall right over our heads. We're still sitting down. We got full, up close and real personal views of magnificent 55 Caddy bunper guards(if you know what I mean). Now everyone there has badges and name tags. Hers was hanging down right between the bumper guards and her name was Christine Guy. Steve looked over at me and said there's the song for March 18, "I want to DO that guy". Leave it to a banjo player to think up a title like that. | ||

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 5881 Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | You know, Beal, my song has been done for a few weeks and there is a lot of similarity to it and the message, "doin' That Guy." I want it to be a surprise, and I'm banking on the fact that you previously said this is an adult venue. | ||

It's all adult Yes, I can understand that California or Florida would be suspicious of the originality of the afore mentioned bumper guards. But this was the western NC mountains and consensus of opinions were that they were original equipment and not an after market product. | ||
