And the Pendelum Swings Me Into a Duane Eddy Tribute

4 · Apr · 2000

At 12:38 am on Thursday, I sat down to try to explain the night’s events but found that no matter how I say this, it’s likely that someone out there won’t believe me.

So, I turn to clichés:

• Two tickets to the Duane Eddy, Grady Martin Tribute hosted by Chet Atkins Musician Days at the Ryman... free.
• Sitting in the balcony with newlyweds Amy & Vince Gill... free.
• Two passes to the Bell South After Party with Duane Eddy... free.
• Seeing John Fogherty, Marty Stewart, Vince Gill, Dave Pomery, Bonnie Bramlett and Peter Frampton perform together - live- for three hours... PRICELESS.

On that note, I submit to you my latest song, hoping I remember all of it correctly, due to the original being lost the last time I was thrown off the net.

-possible-

it was easy to think myself cheerful
hopeful even, all the way to my toes
reinvention, restoration maybe possible
a star your love could not oppose
i the one who polishes the moon
maybe you could let this feeling linger in the room

possible, maybe
oh baby
to mark a path we’ve never taken
possible, maybe
i’m just a little crazy
i could have been mistaken

there’s a few lips i’m found kissing
but only one that i want to hear talk
revival, flicker, flame ‘twas possible
if you’re already running, i’ll just walk

the love i know raised a dead man from his tomb
it’s possible you’ve walked away too soon

possible, maybe
oh baby
to mark a path we’ve never taken
possible, maybe
i’m just a little crazy
i could have been mistaken

last night i dreamed you offered me the world
though it wasn’t yours to give, i accepted gracefully
i can’t believe how i’m taunted with the fortunes
of those who can misplace their love so easily
