about

A song celebrating some of the joys and good fortune of being Tempest, thirty years on.

lyrics

It starts with a jump
Off the Starry Plough stage
Flipping your mom’s skirt
Soon was all the rage
With Bri and Micki Backstage
Before the Tractor call
On Edge in Vancouver
In the Wisest Club of all

30 little kitties
Come a-runnin’ at the tree
30 little birds of love
Fly away with thee
All the holy reasons
Life has given you to me
Several charming decades
And Maria Fly Fly

Then red-headed Pat
In his fine big boots
Old Man Flint and Cathy in cahoots
Dorie & The Lovin’ Cup
A spicy curry we ate up
Mike, Pete and The Mighty Dan
The Hall of Fame
In Cleve-ish-land

Samantha, Bob and Melanie
And their big hearts
Icy Deb and Lika
And their pretzel-chocolate arts
Master Dave and little Laz
A-codin’ on the screen
Bob & Diane’s sing-along
An autoharp scene.

The Philly Folk Fest living room
With Barb and all your friends
The tartan heart of Pleasanton
Sonora’s Karnahan
The piney woods of Enumclaw
And Dublin’s rampant green
The Northern Faire in fancy dress
Captain Morgan and The Queen.

With Sandra in the Highlands
And Lee Bowers cozy nest
Johnny’s Tartan rocks
CBGBs was a test
Morris-dancing Judy
And E and David Stein
Focal Point’s a welcome
Then Beatle Bob at 9

Cropredy with Fairport
Sandy Skagen by the seas
Mick on Canal Street
And Gene Shay when he MCs
Allen and Judy
And the Leathery Sun
A workshop at Falcon Ridge
Is how we have begun
