“The Ferry Changes Tack” spoken-song at beach (w/ iced coffee)

just lamenting loneliness of a lost sailor

I managed to make a little bit of music – Just me riffing on a song (lyrics by me, circa 2006 and chords by B. Rees⁠ but don’t fault him for my lousiness) banging on a *cheap & cheerful* baritone ukulele while drinking iced coffee from a wood-oven pizza beach shack and waiting for freshly painted toenails to dry – words i wrote on the seabus in maybe 2006, Brad put some chords to it, I kind of go in and out of 3/4 time and digress into a spontaneous ramble about the “lonely seaman” to stretch it out.

Poor fella, just waiting for smokes & grub while crossing tropics no one seems to understand… but hey there’s an iced coffee involved}
