Madaris, now on the player at the "Will Dockery & Friends" SpaceFace

I'm listening to it now. There's a nice 60's vibe running through the
3 songs I've heard so far. I especially enjoyed hearing "She Sleeps
Tight" -- it had a pop sound that I was not expecting. Not that I
pretend to know what the main stream wants, but I think that it has
"airplay", if not "single," written all over it.
We're pretty much thinking the same thing, at least on a local level.
"Ashes & Justice" last night, which is coming along pretty nice, also.
The fun thing would be to go the Beatles route and have a double "a"
side single. I jest in comparing us to Beatles, O'course... we sound
more like the "Paint It, Black" Stones.
Well, I'm just a listener, when it comes to music, but the first song
that came to my head, simply because of Mallard's guitar sound (not
the tune, just the sound, if you know what I mean) was the Beatles'
"And your Bird Can Sing." Of course that prejudices me: I still
remember hearing that as a lad and thinking it was the best guitar I'd
ever heard. (Of course, I'd never even heard of Hendrix or Clapton
back then.)
I'll have to pass that on to Mallard, and thanks for that praise of
the highest order.
Post by George DanceI just had an idle thought; if you and Mallard are producing the
track, you should probably give yourself a name. "The Duck Bros."
would be a good one, being (in your case) an in-yr-face to a few
people.
Exactly... and it turns out that a couple of the 140 known variations
of the name "Dockery" are exactly what these Usenet pranksters use to
try and insult me... but as I've said before, I'm fond of ducks, as
well as most any of God's creatures... although I more respect the
rattlesnakes and cottonmouths rather than hold them in fond regard.
As I wrote elsewhere:

Post by George DanceShe Sleeps Tight
Post by Will DockerySleeps so tight
she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark
tattoo firewater smile.
Leather shoes
but nowhere to go.
Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.
Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.
Won't be long,
until I see her face.
She's waiting
in an undisclosed place.
I've been conspired
banned from my muse.
This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.
This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.
In Salem town
she keeps her chin so high.
Darkened breeze
she smiles as I roll by.
Step inside
she looks for tables left.
Wink at time
nothing lasts except yourself.
Wink at time
nothing lasts except yourself.
Like a Steamboat
she plans to roll on down.
To the Gulf
out of this dirty town.
Copper mesh
kept stuffed in a jar.
Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.
Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.
We know him
eye deed by his ship.
In a trap
a kind of goosechase trip.
Whiskey fumes
and stale gunsmoke.
Sunk and drowned
with all her knives and jokes.
Sunk and drowned
with all her knives and jokes.
Sleeps so tight
she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark
tattoo firewater spine.
Leather shoes
but nowhere to go.
