Got a new album coming out the end of this month. Our granddaughter, Charley, says I should always have 13 songs on albums like Taylor Swift. I was gonna ask David Snyder to borrow his Swifty song, but wrote this quick little ditty instead.

A song about cleanig things up --or not. It started with a melody that happened on my acoustic. The "f" was added to the title and lyrics to clean it up for the kids, although Tay Tay would've left it alone.

RealTracks in style: ~2480:Bass, Acoustic, Held Sw 110

For this one I used the BiaB bass that came with the style. I just sang and played the Gu Qin interlude on the Donner keyboard.

Friday the 6th is the 81st Anniversary of D-Day and I'll be under the surgeon's knife. Either I'll be back better than ever, or not at all. Carry On.

When Shift Happens

I was in London and she was in Paris.
She had two weeks for vacation.
She voted Mantle and I voted Maris.
Which one of us got our way?
When I tell you the story of Brussels and pancakes,
no one is gonna believe me.
Nobody notices shift when it happens.
They just look the other way.

I was in Paris and she was in London.
Seine or insane is the question.
She prim and proper and I was the fun one.
I channel swam once agian.
Let me tell you the story 'bout Swiss Alps in Summer.
You would never believe me.
Nobody notices shift when it happens.
They just shift the other way when shift happens.
