The poem before the song...

Staring at the flickering screen
my eyes begin to numb
I go and grab some more caffeine
what have I now done
an office chair at home so plush
tucked in a corner space
just sitting here when came a rush
brought a smile right to my face
its 1 AM this days been long
its time I go to bed
I'll close this out with a new song
that just popped in my head


Our University song

University song

I'd like to say that the musics done
Almost ready to hear for everyone
It wasn't easy I do confess
For six long hours it was quite a mess

Over and over I almost lost my desire
At times I felt Chopin with his hair on fire
On the keyboard then some guitar
A little banjo could take it far

When all was lost in a super mix
I did some magic pulled off some tricks
Too late to post and then I said
I think its time to go to bed

Like the sunrise on bright new day
I started over and I have to say
I think I got it now all thats left
Is a vocal chorus that would wake the deaf

coming soon

[X4StringDrive]

Don't hurt yourself
no way no how
we'll keep waiting
its been 18 pages now
we understand your an artist
last thing we want
is for you to rush your wrist

[Aunt Doty]

Kenny, I see you've changed your avatar
Is that really a Martian playing guitar?
Starsailor's picture has really changed
What is it I wonder, it looks deranged!
And Knight46 got into the game,
I'm sure his avatar is not the same.
You guys change avatars like I change my socks
And confuse this mind where senility knocks!

Starsailor I thinks its neat, to play for a neighbor is quite a feat!

[X4StringDrive]

Doty your eyes do not deceive
to the old av, I gave the heave
I did it, its over, I shall not grieve
new ones a metaphor, of sorts I believe
when it comes to playing, I'm quite naive
and so the alien I did conceive

Our University song.

Ladies and Gentlemen and fellow classmates
I bring to you a little bit of song
It fits the verse I did rehearse
Played all night long

It starts out with our master Kirk
A tune which you all know
The first tune that I learned here
Many days ago

I hope this makes the grade
I tried to play it tight
I pulled out all the stops
And hope I got it right

I hope it gets me credits
Or at least a few
Remember I'm just a sophomore
In this guitar playing school

[carol m]

Eddie!!!

I grinned and grinned from ear to ear
As I listened all the way through
Your genius and talent made so clear
As your joy rang out so true

You've done a brilliant job my friend
Of that there is no doubt
You went un-slept and round the bend
To give your tune such clout.

I could even fit your lyrics in
The tune you chose so well
It's not a comp but you did win
Your effort sure is swell.

Yet again you do amaze -
Your playing and recording's great
The challenge was made, but you were not phased
Our university song has its first graduate.

Excellent job Eddie, and thanks for making such an effort

[eddiez152]

Speechless

I'd like to thank my mother and father
my sisters and brother
This fine University
And Kirk for teaching me

And Carol m my friend
I thank
From a Land down under
That gave its thunder

So now I played my lesson
There are so many more to learn
I hope I did it justice
To everyone concerned

I don't take my credits lightly
Appreciate all those who take the time
To lend an ear and bring good cheer
I consider them all friends of mine

[carol m]

Eddie, tell me if I'm out of line
But its way beyond your bed time
Maybe its time for a little sleep
If your beauty, you still aim to keep.

[eddiez152]

Carol m

If you must know
Yes I'd like to go
Just can't right now you see
So much to do, so little time
And Clients hounding me

[carol m]

Bad luck

[X4StringDrive]

[knight46]

And now we gather here today
To honor one of our own
We raise a statue to his fame
We etch his name in stone
His music has astounded us
We love his wit and style
Now raise a cup for Eddiez
A great audiophile

[Kirk Lorange]

Wonderful stuff, Eddie. What a beautiful sonic tapestry you've woven there. Bravo! That goes on my iPod. I want to listen to that while I pedal my bike around Tamborine Mountain on my evening ride. Thanks, Eddie.
