light hearted lyrical sarcasm and original music inspired by a lifetime of accompanying a boatload of excellent musicians.
With the exception of Mango Chutneyed, everything posted here results from home recording in which alll the tunes posted are original compositions of mine, with performances on the various tracks also by me.

Story behind the song
The legality of our "let's lock the door and throw away the key" approach to "enemy combatants" has been in the news pending review by the Supreme Court. This jumped into my head in the fall of 2007 while I was raking leaves.
Lyrics
Guantanomo (Executive Privilege) Although you probably won�t want to ski in shark infested waters We understand the waterboarding�s fine �Cause it�s the place to go, Guant�namo Tucked down in the tropics by the bay So make yourself at home, suppress that urge to roam You won�t believe how long you get to stay Do you like a little mystery? Then here�s the place for you. Because the list of all the things they say you did Is not open to view So whether fast or slow, your facial hair can grow A foo man chu could really be the rage Except for just one thing, your cell phone will not ring Because it�s not a cell, it�s more a cage Imagine such a tranquil place, there�s not a need to hurry No family, no attorney, why should you ever worry Surely it�s no sin to make Osama grin He thinks our Constitution�s got no class He sees our W heading for the loo To use the Bill of Rights to wipe his Let�s not get so crude, we�re bordering on rude We really need to finish up this caper The president may choose what all he wants to use Instead of ordinary toilet paper (Break) �Cause it�s the place to go, Guant�namo Tucked down in the tropics by the bay So make yourself at home, suppress that urge to roam You won�t believe how long you get to stay Although you probably won�t want to ski in shark infested waters We understand the waterboarding�s fine
