about

Beanbag Chair is the first song I ever wrote on my own outside of a band collaboration. I didn't have much confidence in it but my close friend (and counterpart in the acoustic twosome "Fonduo") Mike Tait encouraged me to lay it down and he produced a demo of it one night after a gig, with our close pal the multi-talented Billy Ryan (of Bogmen, Mad Larry, and Gano-Ryan fame) throwing down a spontaneous guitar part. 'Twas an all night session filled with the usual guttural laughs and creative bursts. It then became a mainstay in the Fonduo set and we always intended to cut it for real but it somehow escaped us. Sadly we lost Mike in the fall of 2014, everyone lucky enough to know him, our hearts shattered. Here it is now in his honor with Billy Ryan producing and featuring Brendan Ryan on piano. Dedicated to the memory of our beloved friend.... the one.....the only....the incomparable master maestro Mike Tait!!!! Taiter, we'll miss you and love you forever........

lyrics

Beanbag Chair

It looks like my winnin' ways just have seen better days
cause, man I'm feelin' so expired
And here comes superman with his racing form and his millionaire tan
His act's really gettin' tired

But me I domino the days.....
And I regret the fact that you're worlds away....
Worlds away

My mind is full of reflections of missed connections and screwed up directions...
Seems I'm travelin' thru the haze
And look at them girls over there doing clandestine twirls thru their self-permed hair...
When hop-scotch doesn't cut it anymore

But me I domino the days
And I regret the fact that you're worlds away
At the flickering screen I stare
eatin' TV dinners in a beanbag chair
Beanbag chair.....

Looks like my winnin' ways just have seen better days
Cause man I'm feelin' so expired
And here comes superman with his racing form and his millionaire tan
His act is really gettin' tired

But me I domino the days
And I regret the fact that you're worlds away
So at the flickering screen I stare.....
With a TV Guide in a beanbag chair.....
Beanbag chair

The Love Boat soon will be making another run and
Welcome to Fantasy Island
The Love boat soon will be making another run and
Welcome to Fantasy Island

Boss, the plane.
