Congratulations, Will.
Thanks, Pendragon...
A good modern jazz feel on here....
Not sure if this one from Nova BBS posted everywhere.
A little visit to Tin Pan Alley. Check out free download of the
day"Rag-Picker Joe" / Will Dockery & Henry Conley
Rag-Picker Joe written by Will Dockery & Henry Conley, trumpet by
Riley Yielding, clarinet & bass by Doug Conley, drums by John
Phillips.
Rag-Picker Joe
On a stroll,
along a Southside dole.
To collect my thoughts
and learn what I used to know.
Ambling down the street
friend to all he meets
"Hey hey man,
you got a pistol in your hand.
Don't go doing the things
we often talked about..."
Rag-Picker Joe,
it's our lives now don't you know?
It just ain't worth doing all that time...
Sally Sue came back
took his Cadillac
her brothers jacked him up
and left him on the curb.
This is life in the city
we got our ways and our means.
Rag-Picker Joe...
"Man
I got the upper hand,
gonna win this war
come high water or ice."
Rag-Picker Joe
why did you go do
all those things you did?
Rag-Picker Joe
do do do do...
those things we talked about in jest.
That's the last I seen of old Joe
he got blown away by the tornado
an act of God but absolutely just.
Rag-Picker Joe
why did you go do
things we often talked about in jest?
Rag-Picker Joe
blown away by a tornado
sad case but what did we expect?
