A Cd a few years old, by a group called "Sons Of The Never Wrong" Bruce Roper, Deborah Lader & Sue Demel.

A very cool CD. They seem to be Chicago based . Lots of videos to look at and listen to.

A whole lot of fun!

The New Song




LAYING FLOOR
   G                                C
She’s learned a new word
   G                         D                          C
After a week of laying floor and barricades
   A                                C                                     G
Swollen hands have lifted her beyond the machines
         C                 Am
that growl and grind
   C                                    D7                   G
To set her again upon her feet in a further room

   G                                        C
She knows she does not like it
   G                             D                                 C
Dangling head and arms over the gate she wants in
  A                            C                            G
She howls like an angry saw at the pile
    C            Am
of ragged pieces
C                                D7                              G
Soon enough I tell her and then again soon enough

CHORUS
G                       C
Who shall she be
G                   D                             C
To have slid in socks upon my floor
G                    D                           C
And chased that dog out the door
G                             D                   C           G
Will she laugh or cry when it’s time to go                  

BRIDGE

  G                           C   
She’s just turned three                                                                                      
    G                             D
Out of the terrible ‘nos’
G                             C
She thinks she’s a princess
D7                                     C
I’ve told her it just isn’t so 

    G                          C
But she has little time                                                                                      

   G                                  D                                     C                                                
When the barricades come down she races from room to room           

  A                           C                                       G                                                                
To catch up with herself and what she knows                                            
       C                Am                                                                                              
She has some sense I know                                                                                         
   
     C                                         D7                                   G
When asked how she likes her new floor she will point and smile 

CHORUS TWICE

Goin' to Sierra Madre

Absolutely the best offer I've gotten in a while. A nice lady. I had sent her a come-on for their festival in the spring (Sierra Madre) and she thought I was asking for their winter thing on Nov 29th. The quattro we have going can play on the 2nd story balcony all day, as long as it's not too loud and we can set out a tip jar on the sidewalk downstairs. (With someone else performing downstairs) I thought we could put Toto in a basket on a rope and haul him up and down with the tips. She did offer a 1/2 hr on their stage too. We have other things going the 29th. A band of four with gear is a bit to haul for a 1/2 hr, but all day! She said to contact her in January for the spring. I liked her.
