Episode 86: Four Seconds
We were having major audio problems this week, so luckily we got this episode done in time. I would say with Four Seconds to spare. We are without Aaron and Michelle (except via satellite), but luckily we have Jeff Whitmire, straight off his album release, which you can buy on Bandcamp or iTunes (https://jeffwhitmire.bandcamp.com/album/deep-fried-superhero). I highly recommend you go out and buy this extremely inventive album.

Four Seconds
It goes to show it’s not what you know,
but who you know
So’s ya know, I can go, flow Bill Monroe
Then throw to Snow
For the show stay low, just play it on a Dobro
Oh, I tiptoe to and fro
From Ontario, my stereo’s Blue like the Rodeo
Growin’ like freak-show free-throw this is just the intro,
Watch it keep droppin’ like dominos
One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, Four
Now rewind,
What’d you have in mind?
Could we unwind? I’m fine, we can find a streamline
Recombined, intertwined
If I’m gonna headline,
I’m inclined to be movin’ all the behinds
Line to line, I kind of shine
Redesigned, redefined
Keepin’ up the spellbind, gotta make it worth the grind
Just in time to have another close encounter
Of the third kind
One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, Four
I’ve been away, four years and a day
You’d be thinking I’d be lonely
But I’m out here to stay
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Oh flip, the light is turning orange
Coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge
I slipped when the lade in the 4 inch
Bought it in a store in Germany
Wore it like a makeshift snowdrift
Had to get a gift, saw the red shift rift
When Gretta got an eyelift
Oh sure that one’s obscure, maybe even piss poor
But I had to take a little detour
I’ve been away, four years and a day
You’d be thinking I’d be lonely
But I’m out here to stay
Wouldn’t have it any other way
