Lotus Cookies



This is my first shot at uploading a video to blogger. There is no imagery, only sound, & it is a raw recording of my song Lotus Cookies. I've only really been playing the guitar for about two years now & writing songs is something I've had great aspirations toward for a very long time. When people ask, I tell them that my main musical inspiration is Harpo Marx, because he created his own way of tuning & playing the harp. Once he was well in the business he even hired some of the best harp players around to teach him the traditional method, but he never learned due to them being so fascinated w/ his manner of playing. Well, I'm certainly no Harpo or Django Reinhardt, but this is the best I've got to show for myself right now; complete w/ still rough chord transitions. Lyrics below:

|Lotus Cookies|

A closed window w/ two sets of eyes
two & two on each side
hands & faces pressed up against the pane

say, where's the latch so we can catch up for what
was not so much lost time, I'd like to share over
Lotus Cookies in tea

just don't stand too close, until the tea
is ready
