Lyrics:
Friends, they call me on the phone
'Cause I'm steady, I'm steady
Talk about unhappy homes
'Cause I'm steady, I'm steady
Well I don't like to let it show
I got troubles of my own
We push and pull and we fall apart
I'm not gonna die of a broken heart
I just don't want to stop and start
'Cause I'm steady
Ooh I'm steady
Day to day is so unsure
But I'm steady, I'm steady
I watch people crash and soar
But I'm steady, I'm steady
The more they try so hard to change
The more they stay the same
We push and pull and we fall apart
I'm not gonna die of a broken heart
I just don't want to stop and start
'Cause I'm steady
Ooh I'm steady
We're faced with so much back and forth
I don't need no ups and downs
We push and pull and we fall apart
I'm not gonna die of a broken heart
I just don't want to stop and start
'Cause I'm steady
Ooh, I'm steady
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm steady
'I Can Wait' Written and performed by Rick Bailey, playing around with synthesizers.
Filmed in part at Don Brunning's house and in the alley behind the Great Southern Music Hall in Orlando. Photography by Kat Quast. Produced at Full Sail 1984.
The lyrics go kind of like this….
I can wait this time
I can wait this time
I can wait this time
I can wait this time
I look to hear a statement
A notice of intention
Any day
My face is surely sober
Not the softest mention
Of any strain
If I only knew
I could wait
I could wait this time
I could
A figure near a lakefront
Gives out pieces slowly
From his hand
Waiting on the water
Wasted, they wash only
Back to land
Oh, if I only knew,
I could wait this time
I could wait this time
I could wait this time
I could wait this time
I won't try to say
What I always do
I'll make surе not to feel
When I get near you
I
could wait yeah
I could wait this time
I don't believe I mentioned
I'll give you
Anything you ever want to wish for
Yeah
Anything a boy can do
Any trick or silly stunt
and
So much more
If I only knew
I could wait
I could wait this
I could wait
I could wait
(I could wait)
I could wait this time
I could wait this time
(And on and on following that train of thought)
In the futuristic world of “Harrison Bergeron,” the government applies physical and mental handicaps to individuals with above-average strength and intelligence in order to guarantee that all people in society are equal. While equality is often regarded as a positive condition of democratic society, Vonnegut’s dystopian portrayal of an absolutely equal society reveals how equality must be balanced with freedom and individualism in order for society to thrive.

Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
Ooh, my soul
Hey, did you boogie too, did ya?
Hey, shout, summertime blues
Jump up (up, down) and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
And where do we go from here?
Which is a way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue-jean baby-queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen

Billy and Rick often crossed paths as they played the Orlando band circuit in the late 70's. Their friendship deepened as they both spent a lot of time at "Studio Row'' which consisted of Wolfshead Studio, Greg Rike Studio, Fullsail, and Parc Studio. Billy played with various bands throughout high school, while also writing and recording and after graduation he joined a regional touring act. After years of touring and session work, Billy got his big break when he was asked to play guitar for the Backstreet Boys on their 1997, 1998 and 1999 national and international tours. That led to touring with other major pop acts, such as Brittany Spears and O-Town. During this time Billy continued to hone his writing and recording skills, and worked as a writer and producer on albums for acts such as Backstreet Boys, O-Town, Aaron Carter, Leslie Carter, Turbo B, Menudo, Sister Hazel, Edwin McCain and Don Henley.

with special guest Todd Lunceford "the Plain White Rapper"
Lyrics-
I know that every man has problems
Oh yeah
All those tears they can't hide
Ooh, ooh, ooh
As I turn to face the pain
I thought I'd have you by my side
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, I never once believed
that a woman
Oh yeah
Could keep me satisfied
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But now you broke down
the walls around me
I thought I'd have you
by my side
Yeah, I never needed
Oh, I never wanted
No one to hold my hand
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
And I just can't carry on
Todd Lunceford the Plain White Rapper-
I never knew a passion that felt like this
Your first loving kiss still rests upon my lips
I never, ever thought there'd ever be a day
When I'd see you take my soul
And walk away
I never knew a time when I felt so cold
I never knew loneliness could be so alone
I never knew a pain that could be so strong
Until I turned around,
and you were gone
And I get down on my knees
and pray
Now you're gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I get down on my knees and I pray
Now you're gone
Yeah, now, every night every day
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Now you're gone
Now you're
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
And I just can't carry on
Baby come back
When Jeff asked for requests, Cindy asked for 'Waltzing Matilda' - her favorite cover that Jeff use to do many years ago at Cricketer's Arms. They did a fabulous job with it especially since Tanya had never heard the song before, much less played it!
Tom Traubert's Blues "Waltzing Matilda"
Lyrics -
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See ya tomorrow hey Frank can I borrow
a couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Will you go waltzing Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English, and everything is broken
and my Stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Will you go waltzing Matilda with me
The taxi cabs parking
And the dogs are all barking
A lot they can do for me now
I begged you to stab me
you tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Will you go waltzing Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English, and everything is broken
and my Stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Will you go waltzing Matilda with me
It's a battered old suitcase
in a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna the perfume is on an
Old shirt that is stained
with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers
the night watchmen flame keepers
And goodnight Matilda too
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Will you go waltzing Matilda with me
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Will you go waltzing Matilda with me tonight
