lyrics

Young Danny lived at the edge of town
Only fifteen years was he
While lending a hand to his father Jack
Climbed up the roof to see
Time Stood still as if transfixed
By the knife of memory
In a room below Jack raised his gun
And shot young Danny Lee
O, he shot young Danny Lee

A cold wind on the prairie
The day young Danny died
The small Kansas town was turned upside down
For he was his father's pride
O, he was his father's pride

Old Annie Danny's mother
Healed animals by trade
His father Jack a stoic man
Had nothing much to say
His brother and two sisters
Too young to understand
Moved on through life not knowing
What Danny might've been
What Danny might've been

On the edge of that small Kansas town
Tucked back all dark and gray
The husk of their house still remains
As if they walked away
The furnishings all smell of mold
Their clothes in disarray
Dead vines all scattered 'cross the roof
Where Danny Lee did lay
Where Danny Lee did lay

A cold wind on the prairie
The day young Danny died
The small Kansas town was turned upside down
For he was his father's pride
O, he was his father's pride

about

The Carnivaleros Tucson, Arizona

My songs contain elements of blues, tango, zydeco, cajun, country, rock, and yes, polka (of course!). I see my songs as mini- movies, novellas put to music. If you are one of Those About To Rock or a firm traditionalist, my music is not for you. “A guaranteed party starter that hails from Tucson but extends its sonic tendrils to New Orleans and Beyond.” – Fred Mills, Blurt Online, 2018 ... more
