1. Open the link below or copy/paste: http://www. youtube. com/user/fluteforia
2. Watch my video from the Birmingham Barons baseball game
3. Generously rate my video
4. Forward this message to your friends, family, co-works and more

Keith gave me the holiday cd that I look forward to every year! I'm listening to it at work right now and I love it! Which album did the Mavis Staple song come from? I used my Hastings giftcard from my mom last night to purchase the XNA Allstars cd (Earl Cate, Ernie Cate, Jimmy Thackery, Dawn Cate, Dave Renko, Fred Tackett, Corey Duplechin, etc. etc.)...it is pretty darn good and has two new songs written by Earl and Ernie since their retirement on it. check it out at: www.swingindoorrecords.com

Thanks for the cd! I'm sorry I missed you guys! I'm exhausted trying to save the children and families of Washington County 50-60 hours/week!

CON CARA de TRUENO


a poet’s tongue
was planted here
where jonquils and
red-buds and the white
dogwoods down Deepwood
mountain stone-rooted
into the earth over coffins
rolling the highway
headlights late
for some shit job

it was you who said to me
karma takes care of itself

the same soft way
jesus said to the
repentant thief
only you can
save your self

it’s a crown of thorns
motherfucker learning
to walk through the
poppy fields on wine

changing loaves of fishes
into multitudes of sinners
to feed these thirty odd years
bathed in white laser light
halo apocalyptic visions

heartworms writhing
between the ribs of hell
hounds searching every
shadowed alleyway
ears laid back
nose to the ground

death will always
find another standing
at the crossroads
of turning points
to carry the cross
from here


haunting my dreams
cold burning me pale
the ghosts in my eyes
laugh as they wail
we die more than once

it’s breathing
on your shoulder
like a dog
chasing it’s tail

many many years after
these days will wash away
eating the sins
wasted in the
rubber room

with only a fistful
of silent screams
in the spoons and spoons
full of opium dreams

my blood in the cylinder
burning like a granary
in a dead man’s town
ashes ashes all fall down

no punctuation
piss on graves

i woke up this morning
with a face like thunder
laughing crows circling
maples in the rain

Hey Eric, I've listened to Randy Newman a couple more times and he is really very cool. Guess you have to be a little older to dig this guy.
