Ellis Paul

Whirlwind. Headwind. Wind in My Sails.

I flew over oceans and flew over whales.

To England, Ireland to create my own tales, with my guitar, and my suitcase I rambled.

First to Lancaster

in the UK

to new friends and old friends

I sang and I played

then down to London

where the whiskey’s high grade

but my breakfasts weren’t English

those scoundrels.

Then onward to Ireland

to the sea to the green

Where Guinness was raining

like a biblical scene

With Rad there to meet me

we were living the dream

but every dream ahead is a gamble

We rambled up castles

and Islands in seas

we fed sheep and heard music

into the wees

till midnight then

and sometimes beyond

and we sang to the ghosts with our sweetest sad songs

Now I’m back in states

and soon Florida bound

I’m bringing a new album

I’m bringing new sounds!

Then onward to Charlottesville, MD,

and more

by then its November

and here’s what’s in store!

Jersey by car and not by a horse

Then NERFA, & New Hampshire

where I’m playing, of course!

Then California on a week long run—

Its been before COVID

that there i have sung!

Then NC, GA and please!

Sweet Alabama’ll be listening to me!

In December remember

there are shows you can pick!

For NH and Franklin you better be quick!

The New Years Run will likley sell out

And the show up in Maine—

be full there no doubt

So go get your tickets

or be be left in cold

unless Santa brings you them

down from the Pole!

Just look up dates

to get the specifics

technology’s great

the web is terrific!

And the rhymes of course

are merely a gimmick

but I hope they helped

the read—

Ellis
