about

After driving my son across country to LA in 2017. Now he's back in NY. With apologies to Bob Dylan and Tom Thumb Blues.

I'm on vocals and guitar; Fred Gillen Jr is on bass, harmonica and table percussion. Co-produced, but mostly Fred.

lyrics

When you're crossing Sunset Boulevard
Make sure you don't come outa your shoes
They got some hunngry Teslas there
And they'll really make a mess outa you

You won't hear em comin but take it from me
It's like a California earthquake... a tsu-na-mi

You won't hear em comin ... like a tiger in the woods
Hit the street runnin ... avoid em if you could
They be talkin and they textin...
... Ca-tas-trophe

Cuz they come after your children
Come after your blood
Got some hungry gas sippin silicon pushin martini sippin intellectualists there......
….. Hollywood

So if you go to Cal-ifor-ni-a
Specifical-ly LA
Stay within the crosswalk
You jaywalk ...
… You pay

.. That's right
Don't jaywalk
...... In LA

I'm goin back to New York City
I do believe I've had enough

about

Stephen Scholle Hartsdale, New York

Picked up guitar in 1967. Began writing songs in 09 after a breakup. TY to Fred Gillen, Burr Johnson, Peter Calo and the Ashokan music community for supporting my passion. I write from the chord voicings and I write from the voice inside. Some songs channel moments. Sometimes words just sound good. I like to let the song speak and I like to work with others on that. If you'd like, get in touch. ... more
