back from kerrville, texas where we had a great time pickin' and grinnin'....
what an incredible audience!!!
I think almost every act is givien a standing ovation
and encore.. this is truly one of the sweetest most laid-back festivals
there is...
the more i do these kind of shows the more i look
forward to them... they're a wonderful oppurtunity to catch up with friends
and musicians from around the country... i'd especially like to thank ellis
paul for coming to the rescue when i broke a string during during one of my
sets... ellis not only volunteered his guitar as a sub, but also changed the
busted string!
i've got a few more gigs this month and then -
except for the occasional house concert- will be taking most of the
summer off to hang out with my family, write and paint my house... i'll
try to write in this space more often than i have been... hope the
summer treats you right and that i'll see you soon! as my friend Lisa K
always says...'love on!' -john
a song for the gulf
paint your money black words and
music by john flynn
now our mother's bleeding
men have pierced her heart
left the poseidon's children
dying in the dark
black clouds on the water
poison in the wind
how much will she suffer
for the greed of men
light your lamps at sunset
build your cooking fires
she'll sustain your needs but
not your sick desires
freely given blessings
hoarded into bins
darkened tides anointing
flippers, wings and fins
crimes against the wild ones
who don't understand
self appointed gods who
rape the sea and land
feckless politicians
let the cauldron spew
after taking questions
contributions too
roughened hands are idled
generations dreams
slip beneath the surface
we can't hear the screams
take your gold and silver
tie it in a sack
throw it in the ocean
plug your leak with that
shove your gold and silver
shove it in the crack
hang your head in shame and
paint your money black
(c) flying stone music
