No Name Hall of Fame

(V1) We’ll keep on making music until the day we die

It’s food for mind and body that keeps us young and spry

We’ve got notebooks full of words, written through the years

And the many gigs with stories we hold so near

(Chr) Another night, another year, another empty place

But deep into the evening it’s time to celebrate

The time it’s taken, the honor that we claim

Becoming a member of the no name hall of fame

(V2) Mean while we’re waiting for the next big break

Hoping it gets here before it’s too late

Looking to the upside for good vibrations

To catch the train before it’s left the station

(Chr) Another night, another year, another empty place

But deep into the evening it’s time to celebrate

The time it’s taken, the honor that we claim

Becoming a member of the no name hall of fame

(Outro) We’ve got nothing but time, legends in our own minds

Our pictures are framed, in the no name…No Name Hall of Fame

( The following is a purely  fictitious story....or is it?) ........

The Cuzin's started out as four young kids playing music in a garage. They were terrible and drove the neighbors crazy with night after night of loud music jams, head bangin' and parties. But little by little they started to sound like a real band. So much so that the neighbors got together and recommended them to play at a local club...more so just to get rid of the noise from the neighborhood.  Well that was the start of The Cuzin's long and lack luster career as a gigging band. 40 years went by with many gigs under their belts but by this time their belts were much larger than when they had started. One night after a gig, as they unloaded their equipment, and began to throw back a few brews and light up as they had done so many times before. One of the members had an epiphany about starting a club called "The No Name Hall of Fame" which seemed to fit their situation perfectly. So they wrote a song about it and the club was a huge success, even if it only consisted of the four members of The Cuzin's.......and the rest is history.
