Hi! I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter currently living in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. I've been performing music in one way or another since the mid '60's, starting out singing tenor in a barbershop quartet with my brothers and then into a progression of bands playing rock, jazz, blues and country and... whatever. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm still as exited about it as the day I began. Ralph Atkinson

Lyrics

I ain't no devil
I ain't no messiah
I'm not here to cause or save the world from goin' up in fire
life for me is a mystery dance
make the best of circumstance
there's a wide strip of grey between black and white
where nothin' seems right

It's a grey world
beyond the shadow of a doubt
It's a grey world
we're never ever gonna figure it out

Well, should we swing it to the left
or should we swing it to the right
or maybe we should swing it to the rebels of the world
or just give up the fight
leave it up to Providence
'cause either action makes no sense
and nothing through the war machine ever comes out clean

It's a grey world
beyond the shadow of a doubt
It's a grey world
we're never ever gonna figure it out
