Barns burnt down - House on fire The flames are reaching like a funeral pyre I run inside - The blaze increased My soul is screaming - But i feel relief Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down Let it burn down to the ground Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down Let it burn down so we can rise Yeah! It's never too late - Let it Burn Down When I was young - I was always afraid Did I say the right thing - Did I mess up the game But the game is rigged - The enslaved break free Now the phoenix rising - We can finally see Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down... All the hate, the lies, the shame- Let it burn so we can rise All the scars resurrect the pain, so we can fly The barn's burnt down - I can see the moon I can feel the wind - See the flowers bloom The barn's burnt down - I can see the moon When the walls burn down - Back to mother's womb I can see the moon - I can see the moon

Shadowdragon 03:44
When the sun is setting in the western sky the wind is begging me to fly There's a touch of gold on my darkened wing a touch of lonely dusk brings in I leave the troubles of my day behind release the anchors of time Though a touch of sun is harkening I fly the lines in between Cause you can't take the darkness out of me, oh Lord You can't take the darkness out of me Though a touch of sun is harkening I'm a shadow dragon flying free When the call of dark and light collides whispers infiltrate my mind the time of hunting fills my needs The time to question my beliefs Cause You can't take the darkness out of me, oh Lord You can't take the darkness out of me Though a touch of sun is calling me I'm a shadow dragon flying free

Lost Gander 03:06
If I had wings, I would fly away I'd shed my skin, I would leave today If I could take away the hurt I've caused I'd live I'd not be lost I'd reach my soul high to the sky- To the sky Take off Touch and go, touch and go When the sun hangs low Touch and go, Touch and go On a wild goose chase With an old banjo Touch and go, touch and go Where the gander goes the goose follows I'd leave behind all my worry and unease I'd follow dreams, I'd be flying free. If I had wings, I'd soar, I'd sing, meander like a gander, lost I'd wander back and forth, through the sky, through the sky

Where is it safe to be to feel, to heal, to breathe You had them on their knees But you mocked them as you damn pleased Strange fruit hanging in the trees Stripped bare for all to see Strange land of the free Killing, killing what could be What color is freedom, freedom What color is freedom, freedom What color is Jesus Where can you feel at ease To grow, to realize a dream But when you're pinned by knees Gasping mamma, pleading What color is freedom What color is freedom What color is Jesus

Grab your club, unlock your blunderbuss Gotta keep the rebel crew from attacking us They're on their way to try and take away Our state, our ways, our freedom The train is free to save democracy We'll meet at the barracks to plan what we need Our members are tough - our trenches are all dug Squirrel Hunters to save our Union In 1862 under General Lou civilian Squirrel Hunters in two days proved When you fight for what is right organize unite - we've got to save our union Here we go again, the fight that never ends It's up to us to force amends Fight for what is right - organize, unite We gotta save our Union... With lies unleashed, our Capitol was breached by an angry mob believing hate speech Staffers on their feet kept the ballots far from reach racing to save our union Insurrection blasting through the halls Defacing liberty- defacing walls The National Guard finally quelled the brawl Squirrel Hunters there by spirit In 2021 the fight was fought again with a few good men Eugene one of them When you fight for what is right organize, unite - we gotta save our Union... Here we go again in less than 2 - Cause Georgia's back in the news Pushing voters from access - pushing to suppress Stripping power, stripping law - gerrymandering, building walls Who controls the polls is the winner of it all gotta call for new Squirrel Hunters Here we go again, the fight that never ends It's up to us to force amends Fight for what is right - organize, unite We gotta save our Union...

Winder Slide 02:38
I try and stop from cryin' but the tears come anyway You're off in the morning driving so far away sunlight on the landscape drying up the morning dew In my mind I see you, Down the winder slide you flew TIME KEEPS SLIDING IS THERE NOTHIN WE CAN GRASP TIME KEEPS SLIDING AND IT ALWAYS GOES TOO FAST (DOWN THE WINDER SLIDE) When I think of all life's moments That I hold in my soul Joyful times and heartache Up and down life's slide we go I have tried to hold time 'til sorrow came my way I have tried hold life & not let it slip away TIME KEEPS SLIDING 1S THERE NOTHIN WE CAN GRASP TIME KEEPS SLIDING AND IT ALWAYS GOES TOO FAST (DOWN THE WINDER SLIDE)

I'm afraid of today - that everything we have just slips away And all the crazy, the lies the shady, it seems to stay The horrified is glorified and on replay Everything beautiful fades Why must everything I love go away I'm afraid of today- the little minds who run the world will never change The privileged keep pillaging- they take away Their greed releasing increasing chasms of endless pain Everything beautiful fades Everything beautiful remains Hold my hand .. Understand Play the game.…. Love the pain Toss your drugs.. Grow the ** up Tell the truth... The future is us Everything beautiful remains I still dream..

Trouble 03:02
Trouble trouble - there's trouble round this world Trouble trouble- there's trouble in this world There's trouble trouble- there's trouble everywhere But Lord, Lord this trouble won't last always I am so glad that trouble won't last always Yes, I am so glad that trouble won't last always Yes, I am so glad that trouble won't last always But Lord, Lord this trouble won't last always There's trouble in this world, on the land and the sea Trouble in this world on the land and the sea There's trouble all around. There's trouble here and there But Lord, Lord this trouble can't last always Oh Daniel, he prayed, both morning noon and night Oh Daniel, he prayed, both morning noon and night Yes, Daniel, he prayed, both morning noon and night Yes Lord, Lord this trouble can't last always Aren't you so glad that trouble won't last always Aren't you so glad that trouble won't last always I am so glad that trouble won't last always Lord, Lord trouble won't last always

about

I write songs with dead people!

And I like it.

This journey began a few years ago when I discovered several mesmerizing fiddle and mystical banjo tunes, along with a profound 17th century Japanese haiku.

Enchanted, I began creating modern-day lyrics, spiritually connecting me to, well, everything, everywhere, all at once!

The result? My new release: 'Barn’s Burnt Down’ These 8 songs are intertwined with tunes from very much alive old-time legends Joe LaRose and Jim Childress and 10 ‘Song Stories,’ sharing the history and tales of mystical times and bygone eras.
