Written in classic country style, but that's as far as it goes.
Dockery-Conley DEFINITELY needs to be back by a country band, not a
keyboard.

Hello, Tom... thanks for having a listen and commenting, but not sure
where the keyboard reference comes from, as there's no keys on the
track! Just guitar, bass, drums and a... flute. Could it be the flute
that sounds like a keyboard to you?

Oh yeah, I remember Red Sovine well... and living off a main highway
in the rural deep south

as a child, I'd lie awake with my cousins late in the night, listening
to the big trucks crossing back and forth to and from Alabama, telling
ghost tales of Phantom Dutchman truckdrivers and their spectral
muses...

Here's the song "Truck Stop Woman" always reminds me of. I won't even
say the name -- as when I was younger this was not the music anyone
admitted listening to (though it sold like crazy) -- just give a link:

Yes, though it sometimes shifts to Kris Kristofferson... and back

Hi Will,

I have some time now so I will post the Mp3 together with some new
pictures to my website this evening.

Some people in my house tonight listened to your song and they
thought
it was pretty amazing.

I think it is important we shouldn't rush things too much. I will
write another Zorro poem which I will write especially for music,
so it will flow more nicely with the wonderful arrangements.

So our project could take a bit longer to finish but it's the quality
of
the result that matters, right?

I think it would be great if you could record two other versions of
the
existing Zorro poem: one in a kind of 'Kenny Rogers' voice over (the
english' and one in which you will sing the dutch version - I know
that's really hard but I think the result will be worth it.

I am also thinking: maybe some female backing vocals with the Kenny
Rogers part? A bit more gospelish.....

As to the video, I think, if you don't mind of course, I will write a
short screenplay for it. It will be a like a minimovie.

Let me know what you think. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

M.H.Benders

I agree that the result would be have been worth it, especially if you
stumbled around drunkenly in your clogs and your blindfold during the
tuneless performances as you usually do.

But how would one tell that you were singing in Dutch instead of
Cracker or whatever your native tongue is?

"You write spam, Dockery. Spam. You write 200 posts a day without a
single interesting thought in them. You think you have the right to
flood countless groups with this Spam
because...well,eh,...because..... because you like to call yourself a
poet." -M.H. Benders

"Dockery, everyone knows that you haven't published a single poem in
your life except on your own website. Everyone knows no one will
remember you for your 'poems'. The only thing people will remember
you
by is the irritating spamming behavior you expose online which gives
Americans an even worse name than they already have. All spammers I
have seen so far were all without a single exception Americans. Why
do
you think that is? I'll tell you why: because they get the idea
spoonfed in their education that it's their godgiven right to pollute
the world with their 'opinions' - bolstered under the flag of
'freedom
of speech' without any sort of comprehension or reflection what
'freedom' or what 'speech' would be." -M.H. Benders

"Continuously flashing your small weener in public will not make it
grow, Dockery. You're just hungry for attention and there's only one
reason why: you're an empty windbag whose only talent in life
consists
of irritating other people. A masochist who just keeps coming back
because he's addicted to getting hit. Your a sad old fuck, and I hope
someone will shoot you soon. The world will be a better place if that
happens." -M.H.Benders
