This year has been nuts. A lot of things going on in my personal life, my dad has been in the hospital since January 6. My kids just got Covid. So, yeah, life is a little cchaotic.
On the plus side, I still have my health, I funded my Kickstarter in December and am working on releasing my new album, Transistions.
And I am at the VERY LEAST going to take a shot at FAWM this year.

No worries! I want to thank you for introducing me to Inktober. I’ve found lots of enjoyment drawing. In fact I can now claim to be a paid graphic artist! I have made $12.25 selling two of these shorts on tee spring. https://my-store-c73006.creator-spring.com/listing/choices-february-2022
One was my pastor being a bro buying one and the other came from me posting in the live sound subreddit today. I had to pull my post though because after it was live for an hour or so and getting way more upvotes than I expected, people had snagged a screenshot and were selling knockoffs on other sites!
I don’t know how to market it without that happening.
Here’s to the next time we can hang for a few hours! -

Steven, fancy musicing these lyrics with your indie stylee?
Bachelor’s Button
Lyrics copyright 2022 Scott Lake
Verse
I can’t live here anymore
In three days they change out the lock on the door.
9 years I’ve lived in this room on my own.
4 years with a dog. 5 all alone.
Security deposit was steep way back when
If it’s not spotless I lose it and then
have nothing for room and board at the inn
Jesus and Mary. A Nomad. Bedouin
Pre Chorus
Grab a few boxes from the alley below.
Hope to find some that aren’t wet from the snow.
I’m not in the mood for this, how low can I go?
Chorus
So I sweep and vacuum and pack
Take out the trash to the bin at the back
Pull my dresser away from the wall
There’s that button not lost after all!
Verse
Just one choice, just one big mistake
How many kicks to the groin does it take?
To drive a man down where he’s not been before
To turn into a wall, what once was a door?
Chorus
So I sweep and vacuum and pack
Take out the trash to the bin at the back
Pull my dresser away from the wall
There’s that button. Not lost after all!
Bridge
Locked the last box in the trunk of the car
Here’s Mrs. Chen, something blue in her hand.
“For good luck. Good luck near and afar.
A Bachelor’s Button from Chen’s Flower Stand.”
Post Chorus
I swept and I vacuumed and spot shined the place.
Deposit in pocket and smile on my face.
Bachelor’s button pinned to my lapel,
On to my next place, my next place to dwell. -
@emkeev Feb 2022
hey thanks for the encouraging and funny comment :) Maybe I'll blast you something over DM on Twitter........

@charliecheney Feb 2022
Hadn't thought of Bruce Coburn as an influence on that song, but yeah, thank you, a huge compliment! I've been a fan of his since the 80s.
If I'm dead honest, I've been listening to a ton of Steely Dan lately, because Sarah recently discovered them. Such monster riffy intelligent blues jams.
Did I tell you I moved to Paso Robles? I'm only a few hours north of you now. Let's get together. -

Hey there! You've been on my mind a lot and I hope things are going well. I hope you are able to find time to FAWM, and I also wanted to check in to see if you wanted to 4-track (non-video version). Looking forward to more wonderful music from you, Steve. All the best to you and your family! <3
