Oddy Clone Walk 2 – The Fingerprints of the Fallen Down

By Sleeves, 15 April, 2013, No Comment

During this evening’s Oddy Clone walk, I talk a bit about the tragedy in Boston. Also the 5 Levels of Grandness. And an Oddy Clone song to close things off in the spirit of the dark day and possibly my favorite on the album – The Fingerprints of the Fallen Down.

“Oddy Clone” is the new oddy name of the Roy Harter & Sherwin Sleeves project. You can ask why, but none will say, because none knows. And I mean none, not no one.

There will be a new “Oddy Clone” walk every week or so with a song from the CD at the end.

Oddy Clone & a Walk

By Sleeves, 7 April, 2013, No Comment

“Oddy Clone” is the new oddy name of the Roy Harter & Sherwin Sleeves project. You can ask why, but none will say, because none knows. And I mean none, not no one.

No one knows
And none knows
Not even I
Who knew

So a little walk beneath the stars…a little Oddy Clone talk…thoughts on the novelist David Mitchell.

There will be a new “Oddy Clone” walk every week or so with a song from the CD at the end.

Be Oh My! song for Valentine’s Day

By Sleeves, 13 February, 2013, No Comment

A new song for the big pink and red sugar heart that is Valentine’s Day.

Lyrics:
Be Oh My! Entire!
How she sails on the sea, Never know, I’ll never be, So slow

Long before the sun will rise. I told you that the moon is all we’ll ever see.
And we’re happy for it. Attention Senses! Attention Senses! Attention Senses! Attention Senses!
Happy for the lunar fields. The lunatics will be a great eclipse.
Happy for the way it shines. Like snow if snow you know was blind

“The Lamplighters” or “Two Friendly Gentlemen from the Earth”

By Sleeves, 17 January, 2013, 3 Comments

At my urging, Sean finally consented to sit down with his friend Rick and spell me for a week. The result is a middle aged ramble between them that goes by many names. “The Lamplighters” is one name. “Two Friendly Gentlemen from the Earth” is another.

In this episode, Sean and Rick discuss UHF, baseball versus football, radio versus TV, and generally pine unconsciously for the old days while bemoaning today.
