I'm a Singer, Songwriter, Harmonica player and play rhythm guitar. Have played Folk, Country, Rock, Southern Rock, 40's Big Band, and 60's DooWop. My heart and

I am really a songwriter. I spent many years playing in all kinds of bands, and have worked extensively as a single act. I spent 13 years in Memphis where I was known for my harmonica playing. I play guitar and sing, but wouldn't call my self a "guitar player", I've known guitar players. I accompany myself on guitar. I have only recently started to record and work with computer music. I will be posting them as I learn. If anyone wants to "cut" any of my songs, feel free to contact me at the email after my lyrics.

Story behind the song

I was stopped at a red light and saw a beautiful woman in the next lane. Then I saw the wedding ring. That gave me the line "All the good lookin' ones are tooken ones... taken doesn't rhyme. The rest just fell in place, this is one of those rare songs that just fell out of me.

                                       ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE GONE

VERSE 1:
	FROM ACCROSS THE ROOM SHE LOOKED SO FINE THAT I SENT HER A DRINK
	SHE TURNED AND TOOK A LOOK AND SENT ME BACK A SMILE AND A WINK
	A TURN AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR SHOULDA MADE MY PASS COMPLETE
	BUT AS IT TURNED OUT THE GIRL HAD TWO LEFT FEET

	CHORUS:
		ALL THE GOOD LOOKIN' ONES ARE TOOK'N ONES
		ALL THE HOT DANCERS ARE CAUGHT IN ROMANCES AND
		ALLTHE BEST ONES ARE MARRIED OR BURRIED
		ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE GONE

VERSE 2:
	I OPENED TO THE PERSONAL ADDS AND THOUGHT I'D FOUND IT ALL
	THE SENSE OF HUMOR IN HER WORDS GAVE ME THE NERVE TO CALL
	HER POINT OF VIEW AND THINGS SHE LIKED FIT SO WELL WITH MINE
	AWW WHY'D SHE HAVE TO LOOK LIKE FRANKENSTIEN

	CHORUS:
		ALL THE GOOD LOOKIN' ONES ARE TOOK'N ONES
		ALL THE HOT DANCERS ARE CAUGHT IN ROMANCES AND
		ALLTHE BEST ONES ARE MARRIED OR BURRIED
		ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE GONE

VERSE 3:
	I WALKED INTO THE DEW DROP INN AND MET THIS LITTLE HONEY
	SHE OCCUPIED MY EVE'NIN' AND SHE DRANK UP ALL MY MONEY
	WHEN I SAID YOUR PLACE OR MINE SHE SAID YOURS WILL HAFTA DO
	YOU SEE MY HUSBAND HAS A BLACKBELT IN KUNG FU (OH POO)

	CHORUS:
		ALL THE GOOD LOOKIN' ONES ARE TOOK'N ONES
		ALL THE HOT DANCERS ARE CAUGHT IN ROMANCES AND
		ALLTHE BEST ONES ARE MARRIED OR BURRIED
		ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE GONE

	    TAG:
		I MEAN ALL THE  SHOULDA COULDA ONES
		AND ALL THE WISH I WOULDA ONES
		ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE GONE
