I was talkin' to a friend of mine
Said today the sun won't shine
All this hurt and misery
Is makin' me lose my mind
Been livin' on lonely street
Nobody...
I was talkin' to a friend of mine
Said today the sun won't shine
All this hurt and misery
Is makin' me lose my mind
Been livin' on lonely street
Nobody gonna rescue me
Ever since the rain came down
Desolation's all I see
The Good Book says to mind your neighbor
But my neighbors all done gone away
Bible talks about a Day Of Retribution
When that day comes, oh, somebody's gonna pay
Damn that dirty water, it done made the world fall down
Damn that dirty water, it done made the world fall down
Take a look at this angry crowd
They wanna get their due somehow
All those politican's words
Doin' nothin' to help them now
Ask the people, they'll tell you so
Only want to come back home
This place is all they know
But they can't live here no more
All these people, they all been left with nothin'
Nobody knows what tomorrow's gonna bring
All this talk about brother helping brother
Whole lotta words but they just don't mean a thing

This song is about the plight of the people of New Orleans, many of whom still don't have a home to go back to.

I have always had the hugest amount of respect for DW as a muscian. He has the gift of not only songwriting but as well as a guitar player. I dont think it would matter what guitar you put in his hands it will come out sounding like Don Waller. His band is tight and seasoned. I have heard that Don's live shows are something to see. I understand that Don and his band tour the Long Island area of NY quite a bit.. and his orginal music has a following where ever he goes. I am a fan of course!

Really a rocker; mid 60's sound, abit like a Hendrix styling. Good vocals; like the lyrics.
Excellent.

Holy crap!! This is professional grade!!! The singing, the playing, the writing... Everything about this screams Professional! Hehe, it also screams 'Get this on your mp3 player!!,' but that's a problem we can talk about at another time...
This was pure joy to listen to!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Nice playing and a very good mix (listening through headsets). Guitar playing and vox definitely jump out quite nicely!

Born in Philly at the dawn of the Rock And Roll era, started playing surf music and Hank Williams covers in bars when I was 9 years old. The Beatles showed me that playing in a band was what I wanted to do, and a couple of years later Hendrix showed me how it was done.
Left Philly for New York in 1979, been here since. I've played up and down the East Coast in everyplace from neighborhood bars to major concert venues. Briefly signed to Warner Brothers in the early 90s with a band called Snakeyed Su, and I've released indie CDs with the bands Big Sky and 20FTWide.
The music industry has decided that I'm too old and not glamorous enough to have a record deal, but I really don't a bunch of corporate greedheads to justify my existence as a musician.
I'm currently recording an EP in the Hendrix/Trower style (working title: 'Recovered Memory'), and I'm hoping to get it out there and hit the road in support of it.
