VOODOO MAN.

The lyrics were written back in the 90's. A decade of creative productivity for me. Slowly I finally put some music to the words. Hopefully when the era of Bush ends, it will inspire a whole new creative evolution. In the meantime, I'll wait. Lyrics to come.

MATANZAS BLUES

The first raw cut to start this blog. Inspired by a trip to the Havana Jazz Festival with a side road trip to the City of Matanzas. Also called "La Atenas de Cuba" (the Athens of Cuba) for its poets.

The name Matanzas means "massacre" and refers to a putative slaughter at the port of the same name.

MATANZAS BLUES

Train left Mantazas
Leaving you here behind
Train left Mantazas boy
leavin ya high and dry
leavin ya high and dry

Well it's alright there dude
you've been there before
standing in the shadow
so no one can see ya
even the dogs feel torn
you've seen it all before

Matanzas mean old town
full of darkness and shame
take the train
to Havana town
get me out of
this here place

Get me a cold beer blues
then hide in the shadow of trees
Get me a cold beer blues
then hide in the shade of a tree

But the train left Mantazas
leavin ya high and dry
the train left Mantazas now
leavin me here behind
leavin me here behind

Got no place
to lay my head tonight
wishing I was in Havana Town
