Easy Wind Lyrics

Calvin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:21:40 +0000

So this weekend I listened to a few hours of my newly acquired Grateful Dead collection, and on the Workingman’s Dead album I heard the song Easy Wind for the first time. It’s got a funky little rhythm to it and I was diggin it pretty hard all day yesterday. So here are the lyrics, give it a listen.

“I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer,
been chippin’ up rocks for the great highway,
I live five years if I take my time,
ballin’ that jack and drinkin’ my wine.

I been chippin’ them rocks from dawn till doom,
while my rider hide my bottle in the other room.
Doctor say I better stop ballin’ that jack,
if I live five years, I gonna bust my back, yes I will.

Easy wind cross the Bayou today
cause there’s a whole lotta women, mama,
out in red on the streets today.
And the river keeps a talkin’,
but you never heard a word it said.

Gotta find a woman be good to me,
won’t hide my liquor try to serve me tea,
cause I’m a stone jack baller and my heart is true
and I’ll give everything that I got to you, yes I will.

Easy wind going cross the Bayou today
there’s a whole lotta women
out on the streets in the red today.
And the river keep a talkin’,
but you never heard a word it said.”

There ya go. Hope it makes you happy. Keep chillin.

March of the Dead Approaches!

So it’s almost time for one of the most musical months of the year, March of the Dead.

I’m super pumped but since I had to recently wipe my iPod of all of its memory I’m drastically under-prepared. So any help in that area would be super-duper. This year I think it’d be super cool to get all of us to do a kick-ass job of reporting our fantastic Dead discoveries on here so that we can all have an awesome month. These are just thoughts…

Another random thought is a listening party. Maybe over Spring Break sometime, if there are enough people still in OB we could have a big beer drinking, doodle making, Dead listening party. Eh?

Until then, keep chillin.

More funny vids

Zero

Calvin — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 21:46:30 +0000

Amount of activity on the sad, sad blog. But no more. I’m bloggin my balls off over Christmas break, whether on here, my blog, or The College Pro. It’s happening. Then maybe someone will read this blog…

At the moment, it’s a little bit like talking to yourself in a big empty room.

Jam session

Calvin — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:58:03 +0000

So this past weekend I was back in OB and hung out with Gerry and Phil at a friends house. I managed to take funny picture of Gerry, Phil, Brandon, and Joe jammin out on the keyboard and guitar, so I thought I’d stick it on here. Enjoy.
