    This is the second in a series of albums that are autobiographical. This mostly covers the period 1989 to 1996. I do this not so much to tell my story but also tell the stories of others who have shared their lives with me. This is a limited edition of 1,000 CDs. Please do not make copies or upload to SoundCloud, YouTube, etc. Think small. Ubiquity is overrated.

lyrics

Let it Roll on Down that Hill

On the first night in Oregon Hill
was a hootenanny on the porch
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll down that hill

On the second night in Oregon Hill
there was a brawl out in the street
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll down that hill

People took sides one corner or the other
while the streetlight lit the scene
Big bearded man with a knife and shovel
and the skinny man got a chain

On the third night in Oregon Hill
well I finally got some sleep
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll down that hill

(Hooo Hooo le bon temps roulez etc)

On the fourth night in Oregon Hill
well I finally wrote a song
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll down that hill

On the fifth night in Oregon Hill
I met two brother both named Fred
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll down that hill

They lived in an unheated warehous space
down in the Shockoe Slip
played guitar with their band one time
but the rats they ate my cords

On the sixth night in Oregon Hill
I met my future ex-wife
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll down that hill

(Hooo Hooo le bon temps roulez etc)
