Warren Zevon

[Ishmael]

I've been working on this song for a while now. Finally got a kbd guy that has it down. I sing lead and play the organ fill in after the third verse.

Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner

I had to re-write the last verse to bring it up to date.

The eternal thompson gunner still wandering through the night
and now it's 50 years later and he still keeps up the fight.
In Afghanistan, in Syria, in Palestine and Mali
Johnny Lynde heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun
and bought it.

I'm trying to get my best friend, an attorney, to do this one. Needless to say there is some resistance to the idea.

Lawyers, guns, and money.

It will be inevitable for you to do Werewolves of London, unfortunately it's the only song most people associate Zevon with.

I saw him at the original Lupo's Heart Break hotel in Providence (they have since redone it but it sucks cause its all modern and clean now) back in the 80's and again at the Strand he put on a hell of a show. The type of guy that people, like my girlfriend at the time, who had never heard of him were like "Damn, he's good"

Not doing that one with guitar. A friend of mine had an old ESQ-1 digital synth sitting around gathering dust so I borrowed it to work on Roland.

How did you miss this one?

My Shit's Fucked Up

I said, "My shit's fucked up?
Well I don't see how"
He said, "The shit that used to work
It won't work now"

partially digital.

 

[Ishmael]

partially digital.

Yeah, it's a hybrid, ancient too. But it gets the job done.
