Procrastination is my middle name, always has been, probably always will be. How many of you still have the last time zone on a clock in the back room? I bet even some of you have a round 'to it' somewhere in a stash of knick knacks from the eighties. Point in fact, I waited until the last minute to write this blog, not unlike how I was in school. But somehow, essays got done, book reports, done, usually that morning, before first bell. I was famous for reading the last pages of a book to 'save time'. Isn't that a funny saying? I only wish I could save time for later.
Exploiting bad habits, that I can do. This week's release is a jazzy, country saga where I moan about how much crap there is to do and how little time there is to do it. It's a wonder I even finished the project. It all began in the summertime as I was floating in my pool thinking about all the things on my list and feeling the 'later' vibe. Being in a swing genre mode at the time, I produced this campy comedy.
'Later' is an interpretive, swing tune, with rhythmical harmonica and harmony saxophones playing off each other. Dustin Smalley put down the bass tracks, my brother Russell Lybarger blew the harp, Gerry Potter played sax and I held down the rhythm and percussion. It's maraca magic behind the crisp, clear vocals singing a ton of clichés we love to hate with familiar Smokeywine harmonies. (Smokeywine.com)
I encourage you to sort out your socks and reset all your clocks maybe for the last time this October. The powers that be may pass a new law that keeps us all in daylight savings all year long. But are we really saving daylight? It's the sun that is our dictator, not the almighty clock. Please enjoy my silly humour; I hope my song doesn't give you an ear worm... Unfortunately, our time is now ticking down so I must bid you adieu. Until next time, keep supporting organic, homegrown music and local artists and remember to Love, Laugh and Dance!

Later
Later, I’ll do it later. Nothing I can’t put off until then
Later, I think is better. Wait until I get a second wind
All this running round I can’t do it now
Stuff I have to do has got me feeling blue
The list is getting long I feel a headache coming on
I’ll just sit back down and do it later
Later, I’ll do it later. Nothing I can’t put off until then
Later, I think is better. Wait until I get a second wind
I wake up each day with too much on my plate
A hundred chores to go and time is moving slow
My feet are full of lead and I’m dizzy in my head
I’ll go back to bed and do it later
Procrastination, that’s my middle name
No hesitation, to put it off for another day later
Procrastination, that’s my middle name
No hesitation, to put it off for another day
Later, I’ll do it later. Nothing I can’t put off until then
Later, alligator. I’ll be better after five or ten
Give me half a chance I’ll water all my plants
Clean the litter box and reset all those clocks
It’s hard to exist when I lost my shopping list
I can’t handle this, I’ll do it later
No, I can’t do it now, I’ll do it later
Don't make me do it now, I’ll do it later
l'll do it later
I'll do it later
I'll do it later
