Welcome!

"when used in folk and bluegrass music, the instrument can also be referred to as an upright bass, standup bass, bass fiddle, ...doghouse bass, dog-house, ...or bunkhouse bass." (Wikipedia)

My father, Charlie, played the bass in a Canadian band in the 1950s hence the name!

Songs of Yesteryear Updated for the 21st Century

Reading many comments recently I was struck by how many people believe that the old songs don’t connect anymore with the “youngins”.

So this is my little effort to correct that problem and make these songs more relevant to our modern world.

I’m always standing by to help, so here are some suggestions ;-) :

Standing on the corner, watching all the girls go by….I was sued for sexual harassment

Don’t Sleep in the Subway…someone might steal your shoes

The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane….has her own website. You can talk to her for 5.99 a minute.

It’s In The Book - available at amazon.com

Torn Between Two Lovers …and its only Tuesday

Someone to Watch Over Me…with a hidden security camera, broadcast on the internet

Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Bluebirds fly…assuming they avoided the bird flu

This OId House…got an extreme makeover

It Only Takes A Minute…unless you get the little blue pill

There Will Never Be Another Ewe…loving sheep is a lifetyle choice

Everybody Loves a Clown…but enough about politicians

Ragmop…tool of choice for many recent University graduates

If Youve Got the Money Honey…you must have a good divorce lawyer

Three Little Fishies…the 2006 catch off the Grand Banks

A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation…gets you a good seat during Pride Week

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me…and maybe even leave me your name…maybe

A Town Without Pity…is pretty common.

Beep Beep, Beep Beep, The Car Went Beep Beep Beep…so I opened fire.

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes…gotta love Summer in Toronto

I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter…and ask myself why I dont take my meds any more
