Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Teach Your Children

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN



You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by.
And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they picked, the one you're known by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your years, they seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they picked, the one you're known by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

The TRUETT LOLLIS Trio

It was almost nine o'clock on a Friday evening several months ago when I was sitting at the bar ( Sidelines- Kennesaw ) having had a nice Rueben sandwich with my iced-cold draft of Icehouse, of course. I had just paid my tab and noticed as I pulled away from the stool that a band had come in and set up the drum kit - adjusted the speakers, mikes and guitars. I wasn't ready for what I was about to encounter. I had no interest in any Headbanging or Rapp-Krapp -

When young Truett Lollis first gave up a little warm up riff and Theron Peterson filled his hands with those sticks then Jonathan Norwood came on with the bass guitar - The world stopped !!! I kid you not !!!

Needless to say, I sat back down and I do believe I was one of the last guys to leave this place three sets and 5 hours later.

I was speechless!
It was unbelievable, inspiring to witness this and to be transported in this way to a place I cannot take myself.

I am not a musician by any means, but I know what moves me, I appreciate talent when I see it, I know what touches me and grabs me. This music takes me to "THAT PLACE" I cannot take myself - so with that said I say, "Thanks for the ride."

After the first short break young Truett Lollis walked past me, I grabbed him and put my arms around him, looked him in the eye and told him that he had been blessed with a great gift. Terrific stage presence and powerful.

I was hooked and have been following them ever since.

Since that night I have been introduced to some of the finest blues musicians around.
