TRYING TO SLEEP

By WILLY SENKIWSKY 1/23/06 3:00 PM A Harp, Key of E, Chicago Blues

Last night I tried to sleep in my home
All last night trying to sleep in my home
Couldn't do it; your memory wouldn't leave me alone!

I couldn't help it I thought of your lips
Was thinkin of your sweet, sweet, kiss
That and other parts of you I'm going to miss!

Like:

And let's not forget;

I'll be alright or is that I'll be okay
Ain't superstitios but wonder what a Gypsy would say
If those people could see the future and I afford to pay!

I don't use pills when trying to sleep
Don't need no pills when trying to sleep
Now I need to know where to find another freak!!!...

"The Blues are the roots, and the other music is the fruits." One of Willie Dixon's favorite sayings, from I Am the Blues by Willie Dixon with Don Snowden (DaCapo, 1989)  

"Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often."  --Samuel Butler (1612-80), English poet, Author

"Simple music is the hardest music to play and blues is simple music." --Albert Collins

Here's the link to my site, now I definitely have music, and me singing "That's Just the Way That I Am," an original, there and pics too. Don't just stop at the front page scroll down and check it all out! Keep checking back it just been updated... I made a new page, "Me and Evilbay (A work in progress)." There are pages "How to Know If you're a New Yorker," by me and "Willys Jokes." A little humor on the serious side! Sign the guestbook too y'all!
