Up Around the Bend and Down On the Corner - to me are are happy songs about people, the music, and the good life, fun times, relief from the daily nonsence.

I have never been to Lodi or ever sung a tune. Lodi, " If I had a dollar for every song I sung, every time I had to play while people sat there drunk, ya know I'd catch the next train back to where I live" makes me feel like I was there.

Some people think Lookin Out My Back Door is a silly tune, letting go and taking time away
from the grind by listining to music and relaxing, "pretty soon I'm singin" sometimes lyrics are to make a point, Music can give wings to the mind and take you anywhere you want to go.

takes me out of the fire... CCR my first favorite band, 35 years ago.
