Free CD for the Pod People

I've got up a couple hours early
before work for the last couple days
to "Podcast" my First CD. I'm tired,
but this time in the morning is the
only free time I have any more.
I then worked on it a couple hours last
night, and I got it (I think). I knew
when I heard RSS stood for "Really
Simple Syndication" that this was
going to be a royal pain, but like I said,
it works, its really cool, check it out.

TheFirst CD is called "A Puppy At The
Table", and it has (8) Original Songs,
with me playing Blues Harp on all
the tracks. There's some good harp
playing on it, and it's original material,
I'm not copying other peoples riffs,
like so many Blues players these days.

Windows' people - you need a piece of
software (freeware) to make this work-
you can get it at:
http://thirstycrow.net/happyfish/default.aspx
(read their directions -its pretty straight forward)

When you have this "aggregator" called HappyFish,
paste this address into it and play it:

Then play it.
Let me know what you think:

This blog is now going to go into extra innings.
I'm going into the studio again tonight,
and I want to do (4) songs at the phase1
demo versions. I've been posting the lyrics,
and so here are the other two lyrics for
tonights session.

One Lesson by Glenn Bowen,

I was walking in the rain
last Saturday night
just walking with my dog,
but that's all right
I was walking with my dog,
last Saturday night
just walking in the rain
but that's all right

And the people who once Loved me,
they still Love me
and the people who don't
well, they wont
andthe people who are Wise
they will listen
and the people who will Rule
well they wont

Because there's only one lesson
that's worth living
There is only one lesson
that's worth living
There is only one lesson
that's worth living
and it's about Love
and Forgiving

Harp solo
Repeat last verse

Rain Falls Down (on a Freeman) by Glenn Bowen

So there's this guy out on a pier, and it's cold
and it's wet and it's raining, and he's not
catching a damn thing. But he looks like the
happiest SOB I've ever seen in my life.
Now I've never been one to shy away from
crazy people, so I'm like OK I'll bite, and I
walk up and I say "So, how's the fishing?"
"Pretty Bad, Pretty Bad"
"Think you're gonna catch anything?"
"Nope, no I know I wont"
"So...."
"Yep"
"So"

So the rain falls down on a Freeman
rain falls down on a Freeman
I say the rain falls down on a Freeman
Let the rain fall on me

Harp solo

So we're standing out there in the rain like that,
standing out there for quite a while actually, and
finally he says "You know, I just got out of Prison
today. I was there for Eight years. For Eight
years, the people who ran that place tried to
tell me Iwas an animal. For Eight years, the
people who lived in that place tried to turn me
into an animal. But I knew I was gonna get out
of there one day, and I was gonna leave a
Freeman. Now it's cold, and it's wet, and its' raining,
and you know why that is?

Because the rain falls down on a Freeman
rain falls down on a Freeman
I say the rain falls down on a Freeman
Let the rain fall on me.
