Onederous You

Onederous You

Chi-town girl you rock my world
Hot soul on fire
High as a kite on a Champaign Flight
She wants to take me higher.

Well it’s you, Onederous things that you do
When you do, all the things that you do

Who’s got the goods in the neighborhood?
Love to watch you walk
But me and you and that Boom boom boom—
I love your baby talk

Well it’s you, Onederous things that you do
When you do, all the things that you do

And when I’m far away
Rockin’ on a stage
She’s always there for me
She’s like a smoking’ gun
She makes a blues song fun
She loves so sensually

When we Sneak away
Off behind the stage
You know I want to explore
you know you’re such a tease
I beggin’ pretty please
You got me wantin’ more

She’s got some kicks in her book of tricks
Hasn’t used them all
Mojo, black cat, and who knows what?
I’m gonna hit the wall

Well it’s you, Onederous things that you do
When you do, all the things that you do

Hello everyone, - Google Docs & Spreadsheets

Hello everyone,

I am performing this Friday March 16th for a worthy cause. The St. Baldrick's foundation is sponsoring a charity event for children with cancer, specifically a four year old named Connor Schlitz who is winning a battle with cancer. Here is his story:

Age: 4
Diagnosed at age: 3 Years, 6 Months
Diagnosis: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
Treated at: Hope Children's Hospital in Oaklawn -- Chemo & Maintenance
Bone Marrow Transplant -- University of Minnesota

After Conner became a big brother began the complaints of his body aches and change in appearance with grey lips & jaundice skin. After multiple doctor visits saying his body aches were from a cold he'd been fighting, the jaundice appearance brought concern and orders to have blood drawn. That afternoon we rushed to OakLawn Children's hospital for the life-changing diagnosis of Leukemia along with the very rare form of Philadelphia Chromosome.

Given the high-risk nature of the Philadelphia Chromsome he began high doses of chemo during week long hospital stays every 3 weeks. After months of research we opted for a bone marrow transplant at University of Minnesota utilizing a donated umbilical cord. Bone Marrow Transplant has a higher cure rate and the results have been amazing. After being away from home for 115 days & living at The Ronald McDonald House we are so thankful to be home.

He is back to a playful, talkative & loving 4 year old. His knowledge of animals is off the charts. He adores his little sister and is anxious to start back up in preschool in the fall. He has handled all the pokes, spinal taps, bone marrow biopsies, daily med's, and clinic visits and hospital stays with an attitude like nothing I've ever seen. He might get worked up but as soon as the event is over he's back to himself and being a kid.

I know that this is last minute, but please consider sending a donation to St. Baldrick's Foundation in Conner's Name. He is only four years old and deserves a chance to begin life.

St. Baldrick Foundation, is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising program for Childhood Cancer. Specifics for this event, links to St. Baldrick's Foundation, and O'Sullivan's Irish Pub can be found on my web-page www.gmanblues.com

Gman Blues - CHICAGO-- Acoustic Rock 'n Blues - NEWS/JOURNAL

End of 2006 Message - December 19, 2006

Dear friends,

Another year has come and gone. What did we do? I'll bet you've gotten lots of Christmas Cards this year- some of which have those notes about Little Bobby growing up, going to Harvard and winning the Nobel Peace Prize and such.

Not me. I burrowed deep into the studio, and pretty much neglected the things that I should have focused on like my family. Didn't get out much on stage this year too. About the only thing that I did consistently was waste time on the internet, and looking back there was so much that could have been done.

I do have my first Album ready for pressing and sale. My procrastinating nature of course along with the laws of laziness, and Murphy's will weigh in on when it is actually out. I'm not going to make excuses; it's my nature to do the same thing over and over and over. I'm never satisfied with what I am doing. I have hundreds of hours of studio tape of songs and literally thousands of tracks--every one of which I think I can do better. Why?

Because I want to take music beyond face value entertainment, and business. I want my music to be part of life--your life. This is not lip service. I want my CD in heavy rotation in your car, and in the bar, and on the radio. I want to give back and have my music be the wonderful soundtrack to life, like it is (and was) for me my whole life with the original rock bands. Music bonded to the human spirit. I can do it.

Are you tired of hearing over-produced, over processed, audience tested and record company stamped-out songs? I am. I'm going back (at least in my mind) to when life offered us "one hit wonders" and record companies took a chances-- some of which paid off big. Back then artists had free reign on their creative urges, and the result was some simply amazing songs, (while others were utter crap!). The point is that anything was possible. Music wasn't tested against the masses before it was released. In today's "market" every song is tested against a huge group of people, the result is dumbed down to the lowest denominator. Why? Because music is not something to take us into a emotional state. It is a business that no one wants to invest a single stinkin' dime into if it doesn't return a huge dividend.

It's a strict formula--rigid format. Lock in and start collecting money from the masses.

We are all smarter than what we are being fed by big music business. That is why independent artists are now in the driver's seat, and people are circumventing the record industry with free downloads and such. It is an underground movement that eventually will redefine the industry. The music underground baby.

I am realizing accelerated growth via the internet. I've seen my web traffic go from a modest 20 visits (not hits) a day, to over 300. Every month now nearly seventy countries visit gman blues. My downloads are in the tens of thousands, and even my MySpace videos are in the thousands. This is wonderful, but I'll tell you that it's not about fame or fortune for me. It's about playing music that you love. Give me a chance and I'll come through on this--no lip service. You will be hard pressed to find someone who wants this more than me.

My best stuff is yet to come. I've gone through personal growth musically and creatively. Next year is going to be really good. I'm going to press harder, focus more, and do the right things by everybody. Next year I'm going the write that song that you can't get out of your mind. And when you go out to have fun, you'll think of taking me with you.

Merry Christmas.
