Ghost Train RadioGreystone Alien Abduction
Posted on October 25, 2022
Its boarded up
And broken down
Insane asylum
In Morristown
There have been sightings
Of UFO's
The patients ghosts
Are in the know
Next time you walk
Past these hallowed gates
Whistle as you pass
They'll give you a break
Jimmy didn't whistle
He wasn't hip
He was abducted
By the alien ship
When we visited our friends in Livingston, NJ, we would always pass Greystone and it was very scary even in the middle of the day.
Supposedly, Woodie Guthrie spent time at Greystone.
Candy From Hell
Posted on October 24, 2022
If the devil gave out candy
It would surely be Brach's
That shit tastes real nasty
And it's harder than rocks
The same goes for Werthers
And Whitman's Sampler
This is the candy given out
By everyone's old grandparents
Give me a snickers
Mounds or a Kit Kat
Real yummy candy
None of that other crap
This song was written based on the feelings kids had in the 60’s and when after a night of Trick or Treating we’d compare what we got.
It was written after I listened to a bunch of Gene Shepherd WOR radio shows. Gene Shepherd wrote “A Christmas Story”.
Family Plot
Posted on October 22, 2022
Step inside
My newfound friend
Its the beginning
Not the end
There's a family plot
At the front of the house
Not a creature is stirring
Not even a mouse
The burial ground
Has been disturbed
Don't you worry
She's not perturbed
They say she wanders
Around at night
Giving the living
Quite a fright
Spectre
Posted on October 21, 2022
I swear I saw
A child inside
Holding a flower
They say he died
Typhoid took him
Winter time
They put dimes
On both his eyes
Now there's laughter
In this house
Had been deserted
Not even a mouse
This young lad
He comes and goes
The Town of Bodie
A childhood ghost
The Late Arrival
Posted on October 20, 2022
We've been waiting for you
All these years
Patiently
As you posed
In store windows
For people to see
We knew it would take time
For you to
Acquiesce
Take these steps
Climb these stairs
To your eternal rest
The Curious Dr. Blackwood
Posted on October 19, 2022
Up on the bluff
In Bodie Town
The cemetery
Had disturbed ground
The body was found
Deep in a mine
Subject of experiments
To further his science
Dr. Blackwood
In Top Hat and cape
Took the midnight stage
So he could escape
He got away
Was never found
In the Walker River
They say he had drowned
At Home With The Aspens
Posted on October 4, 2022
There's an old house
Forgotten in time
Its lonely and cold
Looks so left behind
The old man who died
Had no kin to grieve
The house was his home
Grown over with trees
The Aspens have grown
Up through the floor
Into the windows
And out the back door
The house fully paid
There were no more bills
The tax collector sighed
For this house on the hill
Minds Eye
Posted on October 3, 2022
There are scenes
Photographic dreams
Once in a lifetime
Favorites of mine
Some visions last
Like ghosts from my past
Friendly and warm
In from the storm
Like an old friend
These visions again
Grace my minds eye
Past wonderful times
Radio Silence
Posted on October 3, 2022
Beyond the hectic here and now
In time just like a dream
A thought a distant photograph
A peaceful autumn scene
There is only one time
Where stations come in clear
Where just the hum of white noise
Is all we want to hear
Let all thoughts and worries
Blow away in the wind
They shouldn't be the death of us
They'll come and go again
Find your peace this peaceful time
Where nature goes to sleep
Take a break, relax a bit
A harvest you will reap
Rust Train Radio
Posted on October 2, 2022
When the world seems full of woe and strife
On an autumn day - go outside
Smell the leaves rusting in the air
See the colors that almost seem unfair
Yes, miracles sneak past
How long will they last?
Do they have an expiration date?
Have I arrived too late?
Its getting more rare in this world
With so many hate flags unfurled
Just take a walk outside
To energize the love you have inside
Nature is your guide
Rekindle the spirit inside
Look all around and you'll feel
New hope with natures key
