Grease Band And Other Odds And Ends

[dmiller]

Forgive me please :D-->

I just got home from work (*on duty* for 27 of 29 hours -- and I'm a mite punchy!).

David

[TED Ferrell]

David my man you just put the finishing touches to our first grease band tune.Very good indeed Proud of ya!

[dmiller]

Ahhhh -- Ted -- I've more verses. :)-->

Not saying they are good or anything ---

Raf in the corner, trying to post

All he had witnessed of this *ungodly* host

Abigail she had so much to say,

hearing her out took most of the day.

The bicker and banter of all our confusion

was added to by ChattyKathy's preclusion

that none of us knew our own names,

But she forgot *The Song Remains The Same*

[ChattyKathy]

-->

[Shellon]

I agree

-->

[ChattyKathy]

Thanks Shell, glad it wasn't only me.

[moony3424]

Me too.

Boy, we're up early. Good morning Kathy and Shell.

[ChattyKathy]

-->

Yeah, I don't know what to make of them at all. And David is usually easy to read. :(-->

[moony3424]

Hey David. Help us out. We're in a State of Confuion.

[dmiller]

I said I was punchy, didn't I? :)-->

David

[ChattyKathy]

Okay

[Belle]

David, I LOVE IT!! Stay "punchy" ;)-->

We've got quite a bit of talent on here. I'm a much better stage hand than writer or performer, so I'll just keep y'all plied with mint juleps when Oenphile goes on break. :D-->

[TED Ferrell]

David is dong what this song is about. Keep rockin'David

Bob Dylan is not an easy read when you just look at his lyrics.

Later on tonight perhapss I can do some edit.work on meter for lines and get this baby ready for the music tracks

Yeah Belle you are hired. Mint Juleps sure would add to the mix.

Ahh Ted don't go pickin on Bob Maybe you are just Confused :D-->

Mixed up Confusion

Bob Dylan

I got mixed up confusion

Man, it's a-killin' me

Well, there's too many people

And they're all too hard to please

Well, my hat's in my hand

Babe, I'm walkin' down the line

An' I'm lookin' for a woman

Whose head's mixed up like mine

Well, my head's full of questions

My temp'rature's risin' fast

Well, I'm lookin' for some answers

But I don't know who to ask

But I'm walkin' and wonderin'

And my poor feet don't ever stop

Seein' my reflection

I'm hung over, hung down, hung up!

[TED Ferrell]

White Dove Bob Dylan is a great artist Most all his songs I dig. Love Minus Zero one of my favorites.

Thanks for posting that's a good one Do you recall the album that's from?

[WhiteDove]

Ted here is what I know about that one.

Recorded in New York City 11/14/62 Allegdly written on the taxi ride to Columbia Studios. Dylan's first band session alao became his first single. At the time he was a folk artist with a mind wandering toward Elvis Presley and Sun records. It was thought to have been a experiment that failed. The 45 was withdrawn, and so were any attempts at rock for the time being. It appears only on the Biograph 3 CD set.

Here is one of my picks Classic tongue in cheek Dylan. I always wanted to send a disk of it as my response to that insulting letter of loyality that Craig sent out to the Corps. But I thought better at the time.

What was it you wanted?

What was it you wanted?

Tell me again so I'll know.

What's happening in there,

What's going on in your show.

What was it you wanted,

Could you say it again?

I'll be back in a minute

You can get it together by then.

What was it you wanted

You can tell me, I'm back,

We can start it all over

Get it back on the track,

You got my attention,

Go ahead, speak.

What was it you wanted

When you were kissing my cheek?

Was there somebody looking

When you give me that kiss

Someone there in the shadows

Someone that I might have missed?

Is there something you needed,

Something I don't understand.

What was it you wanted,

Do I have it here in my hand?

Whatever you wanted

Slipped out of my mind,

Would you remind me again

If you'd be so kind.

Has the record been breaking,

Did the needle just skip,

Is there somebody waitin',

Was there a slip of the lip?

What was it you wanted

I ain't keepin' score

Are you the same person

That was here before?

Is it something important?

Maybe not.

What was it you wanted?

Tell me again I forgot.

Whatever you wanted

What could it be

Did somebody tell you

That you could get it from me,

Is it something that comes natural

Is it easy to say,

Why do you want it,

Who are you anyway?

Is the scenery changing,

Am I getting it wrong,

Is the whole thing going backwards,

Are they playing our song?

Where were you when it started

Do you want it for free

What was it you wanted

Are you talking to me?

David

[dmiller]

Ted -- here's an idea for meter and rhyme.

Ps -- if you record this -- it would be nice to have an acapella group do a *bridge*, right before chorus three -- in the old traditiional way of that tune! :D-->

THE CLUB OF CONFUSION

BY: THE GREASE BAND

Verse One:

Pardon Us For This, Our Awful Intrusion.

But We Were Once In A State, Of Utter Delusion.

Feeling our Life Was Just An Allusion,

We See Now It Was just, Our Mixed Up Confusion.

We’ve Been Bruised And Now Have A Contusion.

Though We Won't Let That Become An Illusion.

You May Think We've Been An Obnoxious Protrusion.

Though We Did Our Best, We’re Testing The Rest.

We’re Through With Just Perusing.

Chorus One:

You Can Let It All Hang Out At The Club Of Confusion

David Fiddles Blue Grass Ala Prochaine Wails Jazz Fusion

Moony's Group Is Getting Better So There's No Escusin'

Biker Babe Rev's Up Her Harley At The Club Of Confusion

Verse Two:

Some may wonder why we're happy, with all that bad losing.

Now living free we’ve removed, all that painful bruising.

Both removing and healing it all, because we do the choosin'.

We ain't cryin' in our beer we just like to do some (hic!) boozin'.

So pull up that chair, plunk down your a$$.

We've got the bottle, if you've got the glass.

Old stories when told of one's past confusion,

When plied with libation, lead to serious musing.

Chorus Two:

David picks on the fiddle, and Ala sings Jazz

There's a dancer on stage (her name is Shaz).

Serving the drinks, that make you all smile

Is the sommelier himself - Oenophile

All respect the bouncer, (though some cut and run),

It's Shellon herself, and she's got a gun.

And where did the dollars go, from that tip bucket?

Well -- everyone's guessing -- that Pawtucket.

(sung by a choir) acapella: hummmmmm, hummmmmm, hummmmmm

We’ve a stow-ry to tell to the naaaayyyy - shuns,

That we once thought we were right.

But day by day, we realized,

Our day was turned to night.

But the darkness shall turn into dawning,

And dawning to noon-day bright

And as we leave, we will not grieve,

And we won't quit the fight.

Chorus Three -- (back to the original tune):

Ted is up there on the stage, sunglasses firmly on

Mic in hand, singing loud, singing us his song.

A *joyful noise* behind him, a joyful crowd out front

At the Club of Confusion, What more could you want?!

:)-->

And no -- I am not *punchy* tonight. I got a solid 12 hours of sleep (at my own house), and only had to work 8 hours today! :)-->

David

[dmiller]

Omigosh!!! -- I realize now that by changing the previous *revelation* of this song, I:

A) doubted the Word (of song)

B) omitted a word (of song)

C) added a word (of song)

D) and changed the word (of song).

I wonder if I'm following the precepts of pfal --

Power For Abundant Lyrics! :D--> :D-->

[moony3424]

David

You're alright. Like you said, you were just over-tired and punchy. Glad you got some rest. Don't worry. We love you and welcome the real you back (the other was just you're evil twin).

BTW, I'd love to hear you play sometime. Love bluegrass.

[Belle]

I love it, David!

Those are Powerful Abundantly Enjoyable Lyrics, so you musta mastered the Power For Abundant Lyrics! :D-->

[moony3424]

Boy, this thread has been getting quiet. Ted, are still there working on this thing?

Edited September 20, 2005 by moony3424

[TED Ferrell]

Moony

Yeah I'm still here well kinda' Sorry that i have neglected you all. Been working on a project with someone that takes up a bunch of my time but it's all well worth it. Quick as I can will tell you all about it. I think it will bless you cause it sure has and does me.

Meanwhile back at the ranch perhaps some of you would like to share some of your poetry or songs that you have put together.I would very much like to read and so would others.

Gotta' go now cause I have a phone call or two I need to make and some new tunes to write.

Have Fun Everyone

Ted

[moony3424]

Ted

Sure do feel neglected by you. Sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear about this new project that's been taking up so much on your time. (Are you sure it's more important than State of Confusion?)
