Song Lyric: This new song is in my mind and heart. If you read the lyric and think it's worth adding music. Just say so: HARD LIVIN' WITH ME
WORDS FLY, HEARTS BREAK.
IT’S ANOTHER OVERREACTION YOU COULD HEAR IN 2 STATES
IT’S OVER NOW, BUT IT’S TOO LATEA
Chorus: IT MUST BE HARD LIVIN’ WITH ME;
PRETENDING MY FAULTS ARE INVISIBLE WHEN THEY’RE EASY TO SEE
AND THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE ACTS LIKE A CHILD
I KNOW IT MAKES YOUR EMOTIONS RUN WILD.
IT MUST BE HARD LIVIN WITH ME.

I’M ON ANOTHER WORLD IN MY MIND’S EYE
AND I DON'T WANT YOU NEAR ME, BUT I CAN’T EXPLAIN WHY
SO WE DON’T SPEAK, BUT YOU CRY………. AND YOU CRY
AND YOU CRY
Chorus:
Bridge:
BUT OH, I STILL NEED YOU TO BELIEVE IN ME
SO DON’T…. DON’T…... DON’T LET GO OF THE OUR DREAMS

IT’S OVER NOW – LOVE WINS –
YOUR HEART HAS FORGIVEN ME, YOU’VE COVERED MY SINS
AND TOMORROW WHEN THE WORLD ENDS
I HOPE YOU STILL THINK OF ME AS YOUR BEST FRIEND
IT MUST BE HARD LIVIN WITH ME, PRETENDING MY FAULTS ARE INVISIBLE
WHEN THEY’RE EASY TO SEE AND THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE IS JUST A CHILD
Chorus: IT MUST BE HARD LIVIN WITH ME SO HARD LIVIN WITH………ME

Thanks for the many notes to me asking about new songs. This is one that I love to death. The first time out it was on vinyl. Sung by the oh so smooth Dobie Gray, this has been covered by Ike & Tina, The Stones, Michael Bolton and of course Uncle Kracker who enlisted Dobie on the bridge and the chorus at the end. Written by the amazing Mentor Williams who along with his brother Paul just about owned the West Coast for a while. I'm not selling this song. It just inspires me and it's a favorite of a promoter who booked my bands and solo act. His name, was Donnie Wachal who operated the Col Ballroom in Davenport where Jimi Hendrix, REO, and about a zillion big time bands played on a beautiful stage in Davenport, Iowa. Donny was my first friend to pass from the pandemic. He bragged to others about my live version when I played at his restaurant, the Filling Station. So then, to Mentor, Dobie and Donnie. I bow with this tribute.

People think a Club Soda With a Lime T-Shirt would be fun. I did this as a joke. There isn't really a shirt. But hey, what do you guys think? I might just do it

I haven't thanked you lately for the cool things you say about my songs. On a day when I'm least expecting it, someone will send a note that takes me by surprise. So thanks for listening. I haven't put any new songs up because every time I plan to take one off and put a new one in, it seems that very day someone will send a message about that song and what it means to them.
You are all too cool for me. Heyyyy- - - - - - - - maybe that should be a song title. When it goes up, you can all take credit.

Thanks again for saying things that don't gross me out or make me want to suck my thumb.

20 new subscribers are checking in on my musical offering here and I want to say HEY HI THANKS FOR COMING. DID YOU BRING THE CHEETOS? OK, we're not having a party, but i am having a great time hearing from new subscribers and hundreds of you who are giving me a shot at your musical mojo. I'm totally grateful for your time with my tracks and hope you new ones are glad you showed up. Now wouldn't it be cool if we could all have whipped cream fight at the Grammy's? Ahhh well, keep thinking twisted thoughts out there. Please play one of my songs for someone. Then get a selfie with you smiling at their look of horror. Let's talk again later and don't forget to bring the Cheetos. Crunch ya later yellow fingers!

First of all, Hi to my subscribers. It's been a long time between songs, because I couldn't decide if I should keep loading up blues based works or let some of my other natural instincts take over and let you hear what that side of me creates. I decided to let it all show. So this song may surprise anyone who has paid attention to previous submissions. Expect a departure from my signature blues base, but the emotion and DNA of this writing style has been there all along. In me. What is it? I don't like the question at all but it's one the marketing people can't resist.
So, while the raw delivery of my blues is not influencing this song, the place it comes from is exactly the same.
The title may lead you to conclusions. Don't fall for it. Don't expect this to be another tired "my baby left me" broken heart story. So, you may say to yourself; "I got this. The guy got burned." But you'd be wrong.
Nobody figures this song for what it really is the first time. No, I'm not trying to be mysterious. It was meant to be a positive vibe about a tragic situation. it's actually about love that just won't quit. But it isn't because they decided not to stay together. As you listen, ask yourself, what other scenario fits this lyric AND the storyteller's positive back story?
Clue: This isn't a breakup song. But he needs to give her up.
Then, what happened to her?
You figure it out. Remember; he's got to be ready - - - When love comes again. I hope you like the thought.
Thanks for letting me ramble.

How can Club Soda With a Lime be the only song in the top 5 for other music for 14 weeks? How can that be? Only one way. it could be possible. People like you listen and get it out to other people who pass it on and on. I'm amazed and grateful to you all. SO - - - - - - - HERE"S A GIGANTIC HUGGGGGG.
When I see Subscribers from all over the world as well as the US, it just freaks my brain. Thank you all. And keep on sippin dat Club Soday Baybee.
For you Ain't it The NIght fans who say things like "I listen to this song every day" I'm really appreciative. If you've ever felt so frustrated by love or by your job or just your life as it is that you feel like "runnin all night long with your hands up in the sky" welcome to my world of the blues.
Look What Your Love Has Done to Me tells it bluesy like that too. Sometimes you get so hurt by love that your "hands are always shakin and you st st st stutter when you talk" That is love in the Blue world.
I don't know why you're listening to my music. I just know I'm glad you do.
So I'm out. But first, here's a great big nuther HUGGGGGGGGG.
Cheers and
Hasta Later

Haven't sent many updates because I'm producing a new jingle for a company in Wisconsin. They're known as the Diesel Doctor. The new music is called "the Doctor is In" also working on several commercials and it's pretty crazy around here. Thanks for your great letters of encouragement. New music is coming.

Just added a video to Club Soda With a Lime. So take a peek. It's just a homemade fun type of thang.
Now I'm adding "Look What Your Love Has Done To Me."
This is my follow up song for Club Soda With a Lime and Ain't it the Night. It's a Hard-pushin' bloozy one. Feels a little like ZZ Topp but only a little. I didn't post Lovesong because I didn't think it maintained the musical signature that I've established with the first two. I may post Lovesong, Somebody Said Your Name or When Love Comes Again in the future. They're completely different stylistically. So this is the last of the blues based trilogy.
I hope it makes your pulse do somethin' dramatic!
Honk if you're out there.

If you've listened to Club Soda With a Lime, Thanks.
Another song you might like is "Lovesong" ( I Love You)
If you want me to post it on this site, just say

Either way, I do appreciate your support on CSWAL.
Wait until you see the T Shirt for ladies.
