Palace Gardens© (Collaboration with Graphium) There is a gravel path traveled. Lord Goring is calling me. Lord Goring is calling me. He’s waiting at the grand house. He’s waiting at the grand house. Laid out by Henry Wise. Having tea with Henry Wise. I’m enchanted by the feeling. This day… I’m enchanted by the feeling. This day… In Palace Gardens, In Palace Gardens. There is a gravel path traveled. Lord Goring is calling me. Lord Goring is calling me. He’s waiting at the grand house. He’s waiting at the grand house. Laid out by Henry Wise.

Can This Black Man Sing The Blues (Bedoya Train Mix) 03:29
lyrics

I ran into this old man. Who declared today was “Blues Day.” Who declared yesterday was “Blues Day.” I asked him, in a vehement tone. “Man, what you talking „bout?” He responded, “You know; “We‟ve‟ been singing the blues for a long time.” “We‟ve been singing the blues for a long time.” “I couldn‟t imagine life without these old-tyme hymns”. “These old-tyme hymns make me feel alive.” Life, well life; Wouldn‟t be the same. Life, well life; Wouldn‟t be the same. It‟s our heritage you see. Our legacy. From the cotton fields and the lily fields…and the African plains: Can this black man sing blues? To Jim Crow and Martin King; From Martin King to the Katrina waves. Can this black man sing the blues? Can this black man sing the blues? Can this black man sing the blues? © Eugene Jacquescoley Music Group 1/2/2006

Life Ain’t Too Shabby In This Western Town© Jacquescoley May 2010 Life ain’t too shabby in this western town. Life ain’t too shabby in this western town. My father farmed land here. Like his father did. We lived here organically. Before Whole Foods brought it to you. Times are changing way too fast. We we’re foreclosed too. It’s a bright and sunny day here too. It’s a bright and sunny day here too. Life ain’t too shabby in this western town. Today…today…I got today. Life ain’t too shabby in this western…western…western Today…today…I got today. Times are changing way too fast. We we’re foreclosed too. It’s a bright and sunny day here too. It’s a bright and sunny day here too. My father farmed this land. And his father did too.
