Fungus Shui 08:35
Don’t forget to Breathe  Don’t forget to Breathe Don’t forget to Breathe Don’t forget to Breathe I grabbed your feet as you fell up off the ground  I heard you scream when you couldn’t make a sound There were know words when the plants began to sing Now you know…  you don’t know anything  I see the door I’m knockin' to come in Way up here… the air is kinda thin I’m back to join you… I knew it ain’t for good Until I drink from another cup of wood It feels so right when it feels like nothings left Time to leave I know it’s for the best

Woke Up Dead 03:27
I didn’t wake up this mornin' I can’t feel my legs Everybody feels like I do On the day after the last day of their life I got the feelin' I ain’t dreamin' I’m home and I ain’t comin' back My head is stuck up on this pillow Don’t think I’m gettin outta bed Everybody sleeps like I do On the day after the last day of their life I turned and tossed till I got lost I’m gone and I ain’t comin' back I’m gone and I ain’t comin' back I think my eyes might still be open I sure as hell don’t see know light Everybody feels like I do On the day after the last day of their life I got the feelin' I ain’t dreamin' I’m gone and I ain’t comin' back I’m gone and I ain’t comin' back I’m gone and I ain’t comin' back

I like it when you’re quiet I like it when you sleep You don’t talk much when you’re eatin' But sometimes your neckhole leaks Why can’t you just be quiet Or at least be sweet You look funny when you cry Ugly when you’re mean You got demons in your eyes Burnin holes in me If ya ain’t got time for lovin' Ain’t got time for me Well you never talked to Sally You never spoke to Dick Then some monkey still your habit That you couldn’t never quit Now that monkey’s got your habit And you’re both dope sick Dope sick baby, Woooo You look funny when you cry You look funny when you cry You look funny when you cry Ugly when you’re mean If ya ain’t got time for lovin' Ain’t got time for me If ya ain’t got time for lovin' Ain’t got time for me

Shovel 03:27
I’m the man with the shovel He’s the man with the gun I been out diggin' ditches Out in the noon day Texas sun I’m the man with the tote sack He’s the man with the gun I been out jumpin' fences Lookin backwards while I run I leave these dark days behind me I’ll have my day in the sun Don’t need no one to remind me My day will come My day will come Awww someday I’m gonna wake up I’ll be that man with the gun Awww look out now all you bitches Awww look out my kingdom come I leave these dark days behind me I’ll have my day in the sun Don’t need no one to remind me My day will come My day will I leave these dark days behind me I’ll have my day in the sun Don’t need no one to remind me My day will come My day will come

Gittin It 02:55
Wake up Drink your coffee get your boots on An empty baggie makes the day long Much longer then it needs to be Go on Gotta keep your body movin' Keep your mind in what you’re doin Until the hand clock sets you free Oooh yeah I’m gittin it Oooh yeah Yeah I’m gittin it Oooh yeah I’m gittin it hand That’s what they call me when the sun’s up Til I step outta the work truck And all the tools are put to sleep Go home Drink my whiskey get my grub on You know tomorrow’s gonna be long Much longer then it needs to be Oooh yeah I’m gittin it Oooh yeah Yeah I’m gittin it Ooh yeah C’mon hand Payday Don’t come as often as it oughta Seems like I’m barely treadin' water Can’t believe that’s all I’m worth Hold on Don’t mean to be complainin' But I was only here explainin' What a good hand knows from birth Oooh yeah I’m gittin it Oooh yeah Yeah I’m gittin it Oooh yeah Oooh yeah I’m gittin it Oooh yeah Yeah I’m gittin it Oooh yeah Keep gittin it hand

Short Straw 05:09
When your cup overfloweth To the top of your shoes See that face in the mirror Says I got nothin' for you So impressed like the rest You obsess like you do Turned around upside down Can’t see your way thru Well your ship finally sailed in Crushing the dock And your treasure starts sinkin Just like your socks But all you can salvage Is this hand me down clock Well the big hand looks ill And the little ones stopped You was the last thing that you ever saw You was the last thing that you ever saw You picked long straw but it’s all the same You picked the short straw You knew the game You was the last thing that you ever saw You was the last thing that you ever saw

Slow Crawl 02:37
It’s a slow crawl back to your open arms My knees are all bloody And it’s loosin' its charm Losing its charm It’s been three years since I been away I treasured each moment Of each passing day that went by I think you know why I been here before I know how this ends Again and again and Again and again and again It’s a slow crawl back to your open arms

about

After 35 years on the face of the sun (Austin Texas), I took my wife, dogs, banjo and a bag of mushrooms to the Appalachian mountains of Western North Carolina. We got settled in and I couldn’t wait to record my second solo banjo record ‘Fungus Shui’.

It had been a minute since ‘Keep on the Grass’ was recorded in Texas with the help of my banjo sensei, Danny Barnes. I’ve always been in love with the sound, range and tunings of the banjo. Just a natural conduit for me to write and play my songs. My playing is, say,....non-traditional. More of a spacegrass than a bluegrass. The addition of my pedal board lets me twist the banjo’s sound when needed or layer an orchestra of ME to bring out what I hear in my head.
