This is the New Orleans Classic re-done as a hybrid somewhere between Calypso, Meringue and Rap. This has 7 vocal tracks, but the bulk of the instrumentation is simply one accoustic guitar, upright bass and three percussion tracks

I wrote this as something of a comedy song back in 1973.Then it had a sound best described as slow Jerry Lee Lewis/Fats Domino. In early May 2003 (yeas this week), I remade it as a Cajun Waltz. I’d classify it as comedy, but it’s actually a pretty decent song, and I’m working on a set of more conventional lyrics.

This is dedicated to the memory of my father, Herb Colton, April 12, 1915 - February 24, 2001. This is an all accoustic Django Reinhardt style romp on the progression to Irving Berlin’s “April Showers”

Alright, we all know the story of the distinguished rep or whatever from Ohio and his brilliant resolution. This is the song. I wrote this in March and posted it on mp3.com. For some reason it never appeared in the new listings for its genre (Folk). I have a feeling this was no accident, since there were some featured selections under the topic of “Peace” by more well known artists such as Lenny Kravitz and the Beastie Boys. I guess their record companies were probably coming up with some promo money. Well, at least they didn’t have cute peace outfits like Cheryl Crowe.
