Music & Lyrics by Geri & Lori

During the past two years of being back in the United States, here's a new original song I wrote with one of the local performers Geri Herrera at the Ridgewood Coffee Company called "Turning Away from Tragedy." How this miracle came to be was, I simply called Geri on the phone during a stormy night, sang into his voice-mail; he then transferred it to his guitar tuner---poof---our song is born and we're both cool with sharing this, so here's the song with my attempt at writing out the words with the tabs that Geri wrote. I have been complained about my singing voice being too loud, my response to that is, if its too loud you're too old!

Open Mic Nights are held at the Ridgewood Coffee Company every Wednesday night at 6:30 P.M. to 9 P.M. in Ridgewood, NJ, located around the corner from the train station and a few blocks from the train station, across the street from Raymond's (restaurant) on Ridgewood Avenue also next to Van Neste town-square/park.

Turning Away from Tragedy

You say I'm not the one to be serious
that just means you don't know
when you plant a seed you expect
to see it grow

Little do you realize how much
you show, feeling you near
I show no fear.

You say I'm not the one to be serious
that just means you don't know
when you plant a seed you expect
to see it grow

How do you expect me to say
I love you and baby you already
know.

You say I'm not the one to
be serious that means know
when you plant a seed you
expect to see it grow
when you plant a seed you
expect to see it grow.
