Hi! This is Charlie B., singer, songwriter, and guitar player for the band Freudian Press. I now play in the band The Sage Experiment. We play the Freudian Press catalog, and more! You can follow me at http://www.facebook.com/sageexperiment Freudian Press started in 1994, performing regularly for audiences in the midwest. The band has gone through a number of line-up changes over the years, and has gone from an acoustic-only band with two hand percussionists to an all-electric band with a set drummer.... all the while featuring both classic rock covers and my original songs. I am a self-taught musician, thus the reason for my playing a right-handed guitar upside-down, as a lefty. I have written and performed more than 50 original songs to date. I am also a published poet, and design and draw posters for Press shows. With a catalog of over 100 cover songs in addition to my original compositions, I'm never lacking material, and have performed in Freudian Press shows that lasted in excess of 5 hours. I am currently still writing, and recording sessions are in the works. The live songs presented on this site were all recording using a hand-held camcorder, and the studio songs were recorded in small home studios or in makeshift basement setups.

Lyrics
L'il Tommy Jones L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me a frog, hop hop-a-day long I found him after school by the hop-a-long pond There he was a'sitting, singing hop-a-long songs L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me a frog, hop hop-a-day long Every Sunday morning Tommy found himself in church Listened to the preacher tell him how the lord works L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me a bible, hop hop-a-day long Tommy's getting older, now he's got himself a job Cleaning off the tables in the fancy motor lodge L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me some money, hop hop-a-day long Now has come his time to learn just how to drive a car With money, looks, and wheels, Tommy's bound to go far L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me a license, hop hop-a-day long Now Tommy's got a girlfriend, and they're really in love They really like the movies, and the starry nights above L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me a condom, hop hop-a-day long His woman up and left him when he started to drink The higher Tommy got, the lower he would sink L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me some whiskey, hop hop-a-day long Tommy started dealing with some drugged out fiends Heroin, and crack, and even PCP L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me a gun, hop hop-a-day long Tommy got arrested, and was sent to jail There he sat for many years, 'cuz no one paid his bail L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got nothing, hop hopaday long Tommy served his time and straightened out his life Now he's got a baby, and a beautiful wife L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket? I got me a mortgage, hop hop-a-day long Tommy lived a long life, and he lived it quite well He learned from his mistakes, and he had stories to tell So if you're ever down by the hop-a-long pond Listen real close, you might hear this song L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket I got me a frog, hop hop-a-day long L'il Tommy Jones, what you got in your pocket I got me a frog, hop hop-a-day long I got me a frog, hop hop-a-day long
