I got a ride to Orlando back in 1972,hoping to make money playing music and be able to go back home and buy Twin Bluffs,where I loved to escape to. This is a stream of thoughts about leaving that place.

lyrics

I am attached to Twin Bluffs. When I left to go to FL in 72. I related to the song "River" by Joni Mitchell"It don't snow here, It stays pretty green, I'm gonna make a lotta money,gonna quit this crazy scene....I wish I had a river...I could skate away on. I got to Orlando in Nov 72 and was alone by December.
I grew up ice skating and also biking out to Twin Bluffs.

I made the "CD" during July 10/11 1999. By playing into a cassette recorder ,making everything ,words,music as I played. Some songs were scat singing,some the words evolved. the start of this song has just that second or two of the words starting to form from just vocal sounds,as the image of the bluffs and my decision then to leave them and go out into the world to follow my dreams.

here are the words:
send them all up send it all away, pack the rabbit,send the baby, send them all away, take the chances, find you a map new directions, take the sack ,make your baby, take the map,grab your bag and go away, dont look back,dont you look, dont you smell the air dont you breathe in the wind, its behind you now,pack up your bags and make your way...make your way.....make your way
