Namaste Y'all!
Well, i searched hi and lo and can't find these songs anywhere.

Greg mentioned from the stage after the Good Book tune:
"well, that of course, is a ?Ryan Smith? tune"
But the name was kinda mumbled into the mic.
Apres show the next night in Pinos he told me the name of the dude
again, but methinks my ears were full o whiskey :)
There is a Ryan Smith outta MN that's on an IA label...hmmm...any
insight out there?!?!?!

Both are quite dark, delivered with the signature drawn out rumble,
stretching each line into a few measures. Yet the pickin' moves right
along.


?They Call It The Good Book?

Slightly up-tempo

Well, they call it the Good Book and it's a shame,
How could so much evil be done in the Good Book's name?
A god that will kill you, and be so cruel, and let men name you
and maim you and use you like a tool.

They call it religion, they call it reading the signs
They call it a calling and wanting to be divine.
So I read the Good Book and it has to be,
As good as someone I love religiously.

-guitar break-

You stone the sinner and free his mind
The prophets are all armed and the1y seek to free mankind.
They call it the Good Book and it's a shame,
How could so much evil be done in the Good Book's name?

-guitar break-

Yeah, they call it the Good Book and it's a shame,
How could so much evil be done in the Good Book's name?
The god that will kill you will be so cruel, and then name you
and maim you and use you like a tool.

They call it the Good Book...
They call it the Good Book...
They call it the Good Book...



?One Man Crusade / Pick up the Pieces?

Uptempo

Oh it's a one man crusade
And I am rightly afraid of it
Oh and you are alone without me
Well, who says that's how it was to be,
Not me.
Oh no.

-guitar break-

Well, if paradise has wings
Then paradise has hope again [openings?]
Oh yeah

-guitar break-

I know sometimes I might break your heart
I know sometimes I might break your heart

I'm gonna pick up the pieces
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
I'm gonna pick up the pieces, again

Of this one man crusade
Of this one man crusade

ooh
uuh
mmm

One man crusade

CORRECTION TO FLAGSTAFF GREG SETLIST

The second encore should read like this:
{I Shall Not Be Moved *}
cuz it was also w/ Karen and Pete.


Oh and yes indeed! Snag up one of those snappy In Harmony T's!
Show of those strapping biceps and pecs and whatever else ya got
going on, over and under there...
I sport my 'limited edition' tie-dye [thanks ;) ] whenever i feel
goofy!
Well, o.k., that's a lot of the times, so not that much, but ya can't
beat the angelic drawing for an angelic cause!



And Debbie; you go grrl! Any man should be honored to share your
presence! Stuff 'em if they unaware of their own rapidly aging egos!




Hmmm, now how far is it to Key West ;)

take care all ye wonderful folk!
