This Singer Songwriter Is Not Cool
Author: Tony
I know this may tarnish my image as a world-class cool singer songwriter forever, but I’ll say it anyway…
I’ve never done drugs…not even pot.
Whew! There. I said it. I can see my subscribers fleeing to find another much cooler singer songwriter to follow. G’bye everyone. I hope you’ll come back some day. Please don’t tell anyone else what you’ve read here today. That’s all I ask.
OK…why did I never do drugs? (for anyone who may still be here and reading) Well, I can’t take the credit. I give that to God. Thankfully I connected with Him when I was 13, and I wanted to do things and live life in a way that pleased Him. Don’t get me wrong…I didn’t succeed all the time…far from it. But during my teenage-mind-of-mush years I did pretty well. At least well enough to stay away from the substances that would have changed who I was.
After I became a professional musician and singer songwriter I had lots (and I mean lots) of opportunities to partake…especially pot and cocaine. I remember a time I was playing a very popular spot in Atlanta, Georgia. A very nice looking girl came up to me when I was on break, and said “follow me”. OK…I’m a guy, so I did. We went into another room where she pulled out her cocaine and offered me some. It felt really weird. I said “no thanks” and that I had to get back to work. And lots of times guys would come to tell me how good they thought I was. They’d shake my hand and there’d be a doobie in it. Yeesh. If they only knew how I’d go flush it down the toilet.
Back in the 80′s these things were commonplace in the circles I played. So I wrote a song about it. If you’re an email subscriber, you’ll get my original hotel room recording mp3. This is it…

Singer Songwriter Says Watch The Babies
Author: Tony
As a singer songwriter who’s had some experience in showbiz I know the old adage
“Never follow babies or animals”
But I don’t care. This is a very nice video, and I think we adults should take the message to heart…

Singer Songwriter’s Muse
Author: Tony
The Singer Songwriter Muse Visited Me
With a wisp of her breath she sent idea bubbles floating along the mental currents to my mind.
I reached up and caught one, and it popped and words flowed into my brain, down to my fingers, through the computer keyboard and into my digital files.
Then I noticed something awful. Other bubbles were bursting before I could capture them. Then, I did catch another one, but then 3 more burst. This went on for hours, days, weeks, years. In fact, it has never stopped. But I figured something out. I’m only here on planet Earth for a little while. There’s not enough time for me to catch all the bubbles.
I’ll have to leave most of them for paradise.
