Gambol Along 03:14
Gambol along, throw my dice in the air Where they land, can’t say that I care Tempting chance I’ll court fate with a dance Guided by luck with a flush in my hand A ship with no sails, propelled by the sea Just drifting for now, with the tides I agree Horse broke my leg but I missed the war What once was bad luck is bad luck no more Lost the last round but I’ll ante again If you don’t risk to lose Then you don’t care to win The odds may be slim But I’m not afraid The greater the risk The richer the take Gambol along, throw my dice in the air Where they land, can’t say that I care Tempting chance I’ll court fate with a dance Guided by luck with a flush in my hand A leaf on the wind I wander the land With a pack on my back and a book in my hand Horse broke my leg but I missed the war What once was bad luck is bad luck no more

Walk through the door with my spirits held high Spent two hours getting ready for the night And yet something inside is missing Time spent wasted just watching and listening Alone in the crowd Stuck inside out Cut through the crowd with my spirits held high Another round I hear somebody cry I may have desire, but the soul is not willing In my corner the silence is chilling Alone in the crowd Stuck inside out I put on my best suit so you know to let me be Totally content as I sit by idly And yet inside oh something is missing Time spent wasted just watching and listening Alone in the crowd Stuck inside out Conversing with myself Walk through the door with my spirits held high Spent two hours getting ready for the night And yet inside oh something is missing Time spent wasted just watching and listening Alone in the crowd Stuck inside out Conversing with myself Can’t stand to be alone can’t stand to be around can’t stand to be upside down Can’t stand to be alone can’t stand to be around can’t stand to be upside down Can’t stand to be alone can’t stand to be around can’t stand to be upside down Can’t stand to be alone can’t stand to be around can’t stand to be upside down Can’t stand to be alone can’t stand to be around can’t stand to be upside down Can’t stand to be alone can’t stand to be around can’t stand to be upside down Can’t stand to be alone can’t stand to be around can’t stand to be upside down Oh no oh woah woah woah woah

Mass St Skip 03:30
One day I was walking down Massachusetts street When a hippie with a pot leaf on his shirt skipped right past me I wonder where he’s going and where he’s been today I wonder what happened to put that smile on his face But I had an idea So I began skipping down Massachusetts street When a police officer he turned and stopped to ask me, “Excuse me what’s that there that you’re doing with your feet?” And I said you gotta’ try it you’re just gonna’ have to have to see And he let go of his gun with relief So now were both skipping down Massachusetts street When a proud professor passing by was plumbed by what he’d seen He said, “Gents what are you doing surely you’ve both gone insane,” I replied that where we’re going you don’t have to use your brain And he dropped his briefcase right into a drain Now we’re all just skipping down Massachusetts street Dropped our burdens on the ground we don’t even feel the heat Cars keep honking mad at us ‘cus we’re blocking up the way We don’t care we’re havin’ a ball we are minding our parade Feel free to join or get out of the way A stern sergeant was struck amazed our assembly ambled by It wasn’t regulation and he felt an urge to cry Maybe just once away from base oh brass would never know It wouldn’t hurt, no surely not, oh maybe he could go “Ah,” he said, “forget my CO” Now we’re all just skipping down Now we’re all just skipping down Now we’re all just skipping down on Massachusetts street Dropped our burdens on the ground, no we don’t feel the heat Don’t know no division, we have not anxiety Now we’re all just skipping down Now we’re all just skipping down Now we’re all just skipping down on Massachusetts street

Don't you think you'd be better off if we ran to join the circus life is a bore and work is a chore lets run away to the circus we'll be strangers in a strange land making music in a strange band estranged from our home on the range deranged wagered for wages a paperboy mage with a page full of rambles I've grown tired with age and aquainted with rage, with the world, and myself I've grown tired of pain there is nothing to be gained when there's rain despite the weather I'm a little confused about the sky is it blue the only blue that I see is within me

I was shopping in the grocery store when I spied you from three aisles away We were once close, so curiosity awoke, I just wanted to say It’s been a long time since I seen you old friend, how you doing? Who are you now? Are you the same you always been or have you found re-definition? Oh really? Well… You’re telling me you joined a cult selling MLM products to your friends and family on Facebook using proceeds from peer pressure to pay off rampant credit card debt? Well ok... I guess... What about me you ask? Well I been rambling and I been smoking and I been drinking and I been joking Things are much the same Well I been rambling and I been smoking and I been drinking and I been joking Things are all the same but now I’m older and wiser And luckily, only a little bit wider It’s been a long time since I seen you old friend, how you doing?

I guess… Well I been rambling and I been smoking and I been drinking and I been joking Things, are much the same Well I been rambling and I been smoking and I been drinking and I been joking Things are all the same But now I’m older and wiser And luckily, only a little Just a little Just a little ...Wider

I was walking down a road My journey I thought was alone And then I looked upon your face And knew that I had found my place And now we’re marching two by two Our hearts embraced the whole way through My heart it races My heart it races for you My heart it races My heart it races for you

about

This album is a compilation of musical short stories and snapshots of the journey of a nueromyelitis optica patient turned artist after a re-definition of life confronted him with the reality that time is fleeting.

On the third anniversary of the closing chapter of one life and manifestation of another, he releases 'Unfinished Business,' seven tracks observing frames of life he experienced in the latter part of 2019.


Love and positive vibes.
