about

For a while, I was working a full-time job, had 4 bands, was primary caregiver for my ailing parents, and was trying to record and produce albums of mine and other peoples. Oh, and I had 6 cats. But I'm sure that everybody has been in that kind of place, at least sometime in their lives.

lyrics

CAN’T KEEP ‘EM ALL IN THE AIR

Juggling balls are bouncing all around me on the stage
I’ve got so many going that it’s driving me insane
Screwing up my performance, and it’s getting hard to bear
One thing for sure,
Can’t keep ‘em all in the air

There’s just so much that’s happening, so much I have to do
For you and for the boss and for the tax collector to
I gotta keep my concentration, I can’t give in to despair
One thing for sure,
Can’t keep ‘em all in the air

Well, there isn’t any doubt I bit off more than I could eat
My schedule is crazy, and I’m run right off my feet
I work as hard as I can work, but still I fall behind
Gotta get on off of this hamster wheel before I lose my mind

You see, there’s just no question I’m sure messing up my act
Might make a good clean exit if I had a heart attack
I’d like to get an encore, but I just don’t have a prayer
One thing for sure,
Can’t keep ‘em all in the air
One thing for sure,
Can’t keep ‘em all in the air

about

Beowulf Kingsley Grass Lake Charter Township, Michigan

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
