We stand in peaceful opposition to police and politicians Not buying what's sold on Internets and televisions Fists and clubs and sprays will not stop the movement It might not work out until you got something to do with it I'm ready to love you now Blame games names pains and gains come one at a time I'm ready to love you now We stand in peaceful opposition to police and politicians Twisting out the truth untill the sane fall in line Watching the clock I'll tell you now now is the time Men on golden thrones with golden lids Pitching intolerance as the way to heaven I'm ready to love you now We stand in peaceful opposition to police and politicians

My love is clear You see me here My heart is out alking all around You're high - Me too! I'm higher - Than you! I'm over - The moon! I'll prove it - To you! Lickety-split Why you always gotta be in such a hurry? Too fast don't last always leads to worry Slow down taste the coffee taste the tree Slow down and have a little taste of me Lickety Split Hurry up getting hot and the ice cream headache is real Moving fast make it last know just how it feels Shaking quaking inflating I 'aint fakin baking shaking raking and taking

Corn 03:59
When I was justa a itty bitty lad Loaded up the car with my mom and dad And headed out East for a couple of weeks There in Nebraska I became aware In the afternoon heat and the sun's evil glare of a crop just right for the picking It grows in rows and rows and rows Lookin out the window I began to doze If I didn't say what it was you'd call me roude It comes in white and it comes in yellow Fullly mature it's taller than a feller Staple of the nation Oyster of the great midwest I'm talking about corn, corn In flakes it greets me early in the morn I'm talking about corn, corn It's America's favorite food At first it seemed to good to be true A food that grows red, white and blue And when you eat it, it's never fully digested It started as the staple of the Indian Nation Now it's the darling of the big corporations And the possibiolities are still be tested You can put it in your chickens you can put it in your cows Farmers who grow it even put it in their plows Chemists are turing it into some kind of wierd freeking syrup Up from congress by unanimous motion It's screwing up the soil and it's killing off the oceans If you really want to eat it, you'd better not go to Europe I'm talking about corn, corn In flakes it greets me early in the morn' I'm talking about corn, corn It's America's favorite food

The lady in the wine Looks just like you The lady in the wine Knows what to do Smooth going down Shimmering light Splashing around and around tonight The lady in the wine A face from the past Staring at me Through my half empty glass The light in her eyes Tells what might have been Spinning around and around and around again The lady in the wine Has time on her side She lives in the place Where memories hide A vintage so rare No glass can be found To hold all the grace Swirling around and around and around

Pull 02:29
Stabbed in the heart You can feel the pull of it This is a start It could be a full blown thing Nobody else Knows what you feel Nobody else Feels this pain Now it's up to you to figure out what to do with this new information Act and everybody else might think you're crazy Information Nobody else knows what it's like Nobody else sees what you see Knows what you know Loves what you love

Music from the heart and head, the campfire and the cosmos.

Steve Skinner is a trendsetting trailblazer who does things the old fashioned way. He spends time in the desert canyon rivers playing concerts for great blue herons and canyon wrens.

The best way to reach him is to sing into a downstream breeze and then hold your breath to hear the answer.
