These lyrics are taken from my own experience and observations. They may be performed free of any royalty in front of live audiences. Publication rights, both print and record, are reserved. Please contact me to arrange for publishing rights. I can't guarantee the originality of the tunes. Record companies do extensive research to clear a tune before they will release it. In the instances where my lyrics fit a published song, I refer to the song by name and do not give the tune.
My timing notation is rather simple:
do: one beat
do-: one half beat
do-do: two half beats
do-o: two beats
do-o-o: three beats, etc.
My tune notation is rather crude and approximate, and benefits from interpretation. I don't perform them exactly as they are written. Gotta get a little swing into them.
