Superfine 04:19
Well I'm running late and I'm getting just a little behind My feet are dragging and it feels like a long hard climb The further I go, the farther I'm back in line But when I'm with you I feel right on time. I'm picking it up, trying to get ahead But I just keep losing my mind One step up, two steps back feels like the same old grind I feel like the worm that the early bird always finds But when I'm with you I feel right on time But when I'm with you I feel right on time But when I'm with you I feel superfine Got places to go, people to see but I feel like I'm running blind Where do I go and who do you know Are the only words I seem to find When I get to the station all I hear is the whistle whine But when I'm with you I feel right on time But when I'm with you I feel right on time But when I'm with you I feel superfine

Summers balmy breezes don’t thrill me much I’d rather feel the slap of Jack Frosts touch Throw another log right in the stove Cause I’m just waiting on the snow. Don’t get me wrong , I like BBQ and beer They taste good any time of year Nothing better than a beer that’s almost froze I’m just waiting on the snow When people say that it’s too cold It’s hard for me not to rant and scold When folks say they don’t like the snow I’d like to tell em where the hell to go Well it don’t matter what you like to ride Ski, snowboard, skate or sled, just slide Just let old gravity take a hold- well I’m just waiting on the snow Autumns fancy colors please the eye But I need satisfaction from the sky Nor’easter, lake effect ,blizzard let it blow I’m just waiting on the snow Feel it fall down from the sky I’m just waiting on the snow Love it when it starts to fly I’m---just waiting---on the snow

Chorus Would you dance with me to the Jugband’s waltz It’s easy as breathing the air Would you dance with me at the Jugbands waltz I hope that you will be there I remember the day when first we knew It was the start of a slow burning fuse And it burned with flame that grew brighter each day And at night we had nothing to lose. Chorus When the moon shines bright on this Adirondack night And the air is so clear you can hear The sound of the music from over the hill I hope that it calls you there Chorus

Say Tomorrow 05:03
Say Tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow that you’ll be mine Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow that we’ll be fine Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow that it will be Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow just you and me Chorus Ain’t no use in waiting Love takes time to smile Ain’t no sense in fretting I’ll come back for you in a while Aint no use in sitting alone Waiting on the moon Time will serve you right We’ll be together soon Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow will be the day Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow that you will stay Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow that you believe Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow that you won’t leave Chorus Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow that it will be Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow just you and me Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow we will sing Say tomorrow tomorrow Say tomorrow you’ll wear my ring

I’m a shoeshine man that’s what I do You need a shine I can give it to you I see you’re lookin for the best It seems like you have tried the rest Cowboy buff or an oxford shine You night not know the difference but I do I’m a shoeshine man I do the best I can and I’ll do it for you I’m a moonshine man that’s what I do You need some shine I can make it for you I cook it up in a little still Tucked away, way back in the hills Corn, Barley, Wheat or Rye Pick your favorite flavor tasty high I’m a moonshine man I make the best I can and I’’ll do it for you I’m a soulshine man that’s what I do You need your soulshined I could do it for you You says there’s things that you have done You were thinking it was all just fun Say five hail marys, drink a whiskey jar Live a simple life It will take you far I’m a soulshine man I do the best I can and I’ll do it for you

Slow damn down, you're going too fast Take this moment and try and make it last Take that moment and try and hold it in your hands The past catches up with you in the future so they say Enjoy the day Slow damn down, take a minute to think Take a good long pull from the well you drink it might be the last one for a long long time And as you drink, think about the speed at which you will arrive Slow damn down, you're playing too fast Take that note and try to make it last Let it linger on and on like the coming of a storm Let it float among the other notes and dance and play a while before it's gone

After the Storm After the storm it will be all right It will take time to show At least you’re still here, standing your ground The water can’t take all you know. After the storm when the sun starts to shine And the world looks both sad and blue You take what you got and leave the rest You just got to start something new Chorus Two hands planting a seed Four hands when you’re in need Eight hands to shoulder the load All hands to lift you up After the storm After the storm when the water runs clear And the damage that’s here is done You pick yourself up the best that you can Nothin that can’t be undone After the storm long after its gone And the memory still lingers near Take every day and live it your way Let your life overshadow the fear

about

Cascadeville is a place known only by those who live there. For the past 15 years the people and the place were my muse. This project grew far beyond my expectations because of the incredible musicians, both family and friends, who helped take the music to a new place. Cascadeville is a long forgotten town in the Adirondacks, ready to rise up again.
