about

POINT BLANK Part one (of two- the sound file was too large for BandCamp) . Six songs in this part.
Deep cover. Words from the back and the bottom. Worker bee.
The sagging front lines of the entertainment war.
The big room.
Autobiography of a flea.
Words from a mere bug.
Speaking of life in the fields. My life on the plains. I was the hunter and I was the prey, you wanna be there but you don’t wanna travel, the soft n sexy sound, the devil drives, the dave graney show, heroic blues, the brother who lived, hashish and liquor. The drama, the testimonials, the confessions? The loneliness of the long distance rock singer. Bare trees. Rock n roll is where I hide.

Music to come on to
Don Ellis,……. turkish bath……..

Sit on the edge of the stage and nail your balls to a plank…..
Dave Graney sings songs about singing songs. A life in music. Lyrical science from a southern magus.
Dave Graney ,accompanied by Mark Fitzgibbon on piano and multi instrumentalist Clare Moore on vibes and percussion.

NO MICROPHONE! 40 people in the room.

lyrics

Show begins , Clare and Mark are on stage , playing. Lights going on and off like an emergency situation in the room as the INTRO Song (Don Ellis Orchestra) plays, getting into the wild , easterm groove.
Dave is walking through the audience, showing something to everybody. ( a small doll/figurine that looks a bit like himself)
AS he gets to the stage, the lights cool down to a spot on Dave as he starts to sing. A tight spot.
The second song is more brightly lit as Dave brandsishes plastic sword and moves more...

PART ONE

Intro
Speak to my medium.....tight spot

I’m a comander....louder, moore brightly lit
lt colonel cavalry....stil a big performance
I don’t know you exist
land of the giants....Dave picks up guitar from piano? .....quieter...reflective
the brother who lived....bigger performance

PART TWO
aristocratic jive...Dave sits on stool at front of stage, spotlit
no pockets in jumpsuit.... jumping around...brighter
my schtick weighs a ton.....spot lit again -singing to his little doll/figurine
there he goes with his eye out..... a very gothic song bring lights down in the spoken intro as Dave talks and writes in a pad
I held the cool breeze... a long tail out with speaking in this song
rackin up some zeds....Dave pretty much duets with Clare on this
the devil drives... a long tense intro as Dave sets the suspense for the end of the show....
