Song #25 Week #25 - 2012 Song A Week Challenge

Week #25 - "Alcohol" - A song about being on tour and drinking too much. Not that I've ever experienced that myself...







alcohol alcohol
got me so blind i can't see
alcohol alcohol
gonna be the death of me

three band bill on a tuesday night
no money in the till
we ain't puttin' up a fight
keep feeding us whiskey
feeding us beer
we'll get on stage when we're slated to appear
if the room starts spinnin'
we'll hold on tight
til the last man is standing at the end of the night


Another shot might
get you through the night
But your dreams are about as real
as your future is bright
we're gonna keep it real
til the sun puts us down
gonna make you feel something
might even put you on the ground



that rooster's crowin
it's the break of dawn
time to shake it off
time to get a move on
another 10 stops
before tour's end
if we don't die tryin
we'll be seeing you again

KINGSTON TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY CASH

A K-TOWN TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY CASH






A Joe’s MILL concert

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Joe’s MILL is proud to present A K-Town Tribute To Johnny Cash on Friday, February 24 at The Mansion, 506 Princess Street. Performers include Tom Savage Trio (acoustic), Jon McLurg, Lia Dawson & Anna Robertson of The Lady Racers, and J.T. & Nicky Pickins of Liquorbox. Doors open at 9 PM, tickets are $10 at the door or online at www.joesmill.org.

Johnny Cash, a.k.a. The Man in Black, would have turned 80 on February 26. As one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, we felt there was no better time to pay tribute to his amazing legacy, which includes being inducted into the Country Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Gospel Hall of Fame. Four of Kingston’s most talented folk and country acts will each play a short set of songs from his amazing 48 year career.

The Joe Chithalen Musical Instrument Lending Library (Joe’s MILL) is a registered charity operating in Kingston at 559 Bagot Street. Joe’s M.I.L.L. currently has over 450 items available to borrow and enjoy, including guitars, keyboards, drums, horns, violins, percussion, exotic instruments, and much more - and just like a regular library, it's all free! Our lending and teaching programs sustain music appreciation, knowledge, community enrichment and provide opportunities for youth and adults to meet their full potential.
