#LyricsNSongs (12) ....Old Rockers Epitaph

Old Rockers Epitaph

w/m Sam Reeves

Old Rockers keep on rockin'
You can hear them when those guitars are singin'
Make one sing for me

Old Rockers are never leavin'
Spirits playin' when that music's crankin'
Crank it up for me Oh
Won't you crank it up for me
And all those Old Rockers Oh

Yeah I had to play
When I heard some Alvin Lee Oh
Jimi and Johnny they set me free  whoo hoo
Yeah they lit the candles so we could see
I want'a see

If I ever say goodbye
I didn't want'a make you cry
Pick up that guitar for me
Play it till ur ears ring  whoo hoo

Cause Old Rockers keep on rockin'
You can hear them when those guitars are singin'
Make one sing for me

Old Rockers are never leavin'
Spirits playin' when that music's crankin'
So crank it up for me
Won't you crank it up for me
Don't you want to see
Those Old Rockers
I want'a see
Whoo Hoo
Yeah
Whoo Hoo

Artist/Writer notes:
Sam Reeves (aka UR S MAN)- In thinking about "Busted Dreams" and dreams in general, I thought of  the end of the dream. You know ...what you leave behind. I know others have contributed to mine, that are both here and gone on.... As I put on the CD comments, my brother and I shared a love for the music and influence of some guitar greats, a few are mentioned in the song. So I dedicated the song to that shared love, and invited everyone else to join in on that. Ha Ha! So, I even decided It would be my request for this song to be included in my departure, whenever that occurs. (My) "Old Rockers Epitaph" LOL!

I started playing this song, and I knew instantly Chris Dair could and would  play the parts magnificently that I could both hear and not hear. So I asked him if he would be interested, and he graciously said he would. I didn't know if he sensed some form of destiny with this as I admittingly did at the time. But, I sure am thankful for his masterful interpretation and collaboration. That part of the dream was deffinetely exceeded!

Production notes: Staging -Rhythm guitar (left to far left to left), Lead guitar (right to far right to right to center), Drum set 1 (just right of center ) Drum set 2 (just left of center), Bass (center to left to center). Drum set 2 joins in after the Drum set 1 rest. Guitar bleeds setup to continue separation but allowing natural transgression across stage.
