Please meet Vali Myers

If interested please read.......

I have always admired those wonderful eccentrics who dare to be different and consequently make our world a far more colourful and interesting place to be. This is a song about one such luminary , Vali Myers (1930-2003) . Gone but not forgotten.
Please forgive my rather unlovely voice as I attempt to introduce you to Vali and perhaps you may recognise a little of yourself in her.I hope you do.


Lyrics.

That woman is not afraid to wear a funny hat
Or tell you what she thinks of this or that
high heels,pink dresses , hair in a clutch
I could argue -- it was---a little too much

a multicolored peacock print on her shoulder
no fashion rule could ever hold her
being t he woman that she has to be
the universe has set her free

she acted like her soul is 20 years old
she just do't care , she just don't care.
oddball , kooky , out of control
she just do't care , she just don't care.

she talks to birds and she talks to trees
she talks of rainbows and erotic dreams
she eats raw cabbage and seaweed soup
went skydiving in her birthday suit

A herb garden sits in an overgrown yard
her house is BoHo - Avant-Garde
a mischievous smile a whimsy wit
will cast a spell for your benefit

she acted like her soul is 20 years old
she just do't care , she just don't care.
oddball , kooky , out of control
she just do't care , she just don't care.

she loves to dance and it's plain to see
full of cre-a-tiv-ity
she has a little fox and a big black crow
known as the witch of Posi-tano


A shock of red hair all wild and curled
shes a little bit lost in her own little world
Stunning once again in her bright silhouette
she likes hanging out with the secret set

she acted like her soul is 20 years old
she just do't care , she just don't care.
oddball , kooky , out of control
she just do't care , she just don't care.
==============================

I was feeling lazy and let biab do all the work
with some cutting and pasting and pushing and pulling.

Well done. A good write. Nice rhythm to the tracks.

This an interesting write and very passionately delivered. That was a wild and very creative ending to the solo. Great editing and use of the real tracks. A really entertaining and captivating listen, Tom

Man, this sounds like early Bowie meets T. Rex meets the New York Dolls, meets Lou Reed.

Love it!

Great arrangement, write and band. Hey don't sell your self short vocally -- it's very soulful and
for us that is what we listen for in any genre.

The imagery is particularly standout and you wrapped it all up with a nice mix.

Enjoyed it!
