gently

Gently

GENTLY

don't break it baby
my strings can only take so much
you bend me, stroke me all day long
and still ask me to give it up
I can snap you know
would you like to have to replace me

treat me right and we can make this last
bad and you have to start all over
now, you don't want to waste this harmony
reflections from the back of the room
give it to me like it was jimmy's daze
push me against the neck like a prayer book

traveled all day to get here
worked all night to stay here

gonna lock the doors when the clock strikes two
play and play till my fingers turn blue

don't rock me, talk to me
a little sweat drips in your eye
small price to pay for my moan and sigh
don't stop now till we reach the end
song finally over
must be heaven's plan



hand me the acoustic, I'm not done yet

"mick, throw me the keys, I'll lock up"

"night little spider"

"night mick"

"hey, little spider"

"what mick?"

"play don't worry"


miss you

Nice write :)

Doesn't get any better....

These are from me and ManO Hi Pepper!

Thanks for the warmth. Songs pop into my head all the time and sometimes make their way to paper, mostly their about some of the old times and new mixed.

One of the most humble fathers (teachers) along my path, in my book, changed or at least was a part of rocks progression. Gone now 20 years his wife said this

“Michael was happy when he was creating music, regardless of who it was with, and whether or not he was going to make a profit or be successful.

“He was a real artist – he knew just what to do and what was needed to turn a basic song into a work of art, and a piece of music that would stand the test of time. He was a man of very little ego but plenty of dreams.”

That's the Michael "Mick" I knew/know.

In the studio where I did work this last couple days, I've been listening to Ziggy and some of Mick's other works and as usual late at night it's just me and the system, and tons of memories.

A couple of years ago I ran across this forum that talks about this guitar I use to change strings on. I was blown away at how there is such a huge following. I stay in my own world and don't really look at stuff like this often but for a rocker guitar player this guitar has become huge. I never joined the forum but there's a part of me that feels really special about being a small part of Mick's life.

I got two nicknames in the rock world as a youngster one was "natch" for being naturally high, and the other was "little spider" given to me by Mick Ronson.

Anyway rambling as always, have a plane to catch in 4 hours, lol.

peace & love to my friends

Pepper says hi, but she's in Ohio and I haven't seen her since I began the touring up again :-( didn't want to keep flying her around, now I miss her madly.
