My new country band, Fall Down Daddy is available worldwide!!

FALL DOWN DADDY

 

NOW AVAILABLE ON REVERBNATION!!!!

Old school country band, Fall Down Daddy was founded by lyricist Kevin Dale Sanders. The sound is reminiscent of Hank Williams Sr with a dash of Johnny Cash. Their country debut single, "Alcohol Call" is now available on iTunes, Amazon and 750 other online music retailers.

Kevin was the drummer for several bands in San Francisco before moving to Los Angeles with one of the bands to "make it" in the music business. The band broke up just a few months later. The other members went back to San Francisco while Kevin remained in L.A. sleeping in his 1973 Volkswagen van. He landed a job at the legendary Tower records on Sunset Blvd. (a place where Rivers Cuomo of Weezer once worked as well as Axl & Slash from Guns n' Roses @ Tower Video across the street)

Kevin worked at Tower records on the famous Sunset Strip while living in his van for over 3 years until that one fateful day when his van was towed away. With nowhere else to go, he slept behind Tower records continuing to work at the record store. After declining sales of CD's and the power of the

Internet, the unthinkable happened, Tower records went out of business. He didn't know what to do, as he was band less, homeless and now job less he decided to take a Greyhound bus 3,000 miles back to his hometown in the Florida Keys. Always writing poems and lyrics in hopes that he could make a song one day with his words. He paid a production company 200 dollars to put music to his lyrics for the song, "Alcohol Call" recorded by David Fox (guitar/vocals) of Magic Key Productions.

The song, "Alcohol Call" has been released, Kevin remains band less, job less and homeless in his hometown in the Florida Keys but he also remains optimistic, thankful and hopeful that he has a song to release to the world that just might change his current living situation.

Fresh Out Of Jail / Song Release



Hello, sorry for the delay, I went to the "BIG HOUSE" for drinking a beer in public!!! I know,  it's a MAJOR crime in Key West. God forbid, I drink a beer in public, do and act like the tourists. It's a double standard, discrimination, hypocritical situation, but what can I do if I don't have the money to fight for what I believe in? Oh well, it was only 10 days. The food sucked but it was better than what I had. Zero dollars on the food stamp card,... priceless!! I tried to go to jail, believe it or not, I'm walking on air ( The opening T.V. theme to the Greatest American Hero) The 2nd time, in Moron county I got arrested for the same horrendous crime back in October of 2011. I can't believe I would commit such a crime, twice, in broad daylight!!! How stupid can I be?!!? Key West police officer Lovette, arrested me. I heard he claims to be the cousin of Lyle Lovette, I meant to ask him while he was taking me to jail. I read the affidavit he wrote and he stated that he has arrested me numerous times when in fact, I have only been arrested ONCE in Monroe county and that was on October 4, 2011 by Brenda "Bitch" Sellers.

I really did try to get arrested or lets put it this way, I didn't care if I got arrested. I ran out of food stamps, it was suppose to rain all week (in which it did), my song wasn't coming out until June 9th AND this is the BIG excuse, I can get an inhaler for my asthma for FREE!! as opposed to paying 70 dollars that I don't have and I can breathe freely again! Worth the price of admission.

This is Josh Roth, one of my "cell" mates in the Monroe County Jail.

He will be starring in Cash Crown Pawn on truTV on August 13th, 2013.





Autograph from Josh before I left the jail, June 7th, 2013

I also met Jack DeWolf the second assistant director for the movie Halloween while I was in jail. He got popped for open container like I did.

My country song has been released!!! (just as I was being released from jail!!)

Happy Memorial Day!! God Bless America

I wrote a poem for Memorial Day in honor of the brave men and women of the United States military that kept freedom ringing and paid the ultimate sacrifice, so we and future generations may enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. My grandfather, Collis Jordan was a Major in the Allied Air Force and my stepfather, Donald "Doc" MacDonald was a corporal in the U.S. Army. Both of them were in World War II. They didn't die while serving our country but nonetheless they served our country. By crazy coincidence, I found a authentic World War II Corporal uniform (pictured below) at the Salvation Army here in Key West and got it for free!  May they and the many men and woman who sacrificed their own life to ensure that we have a better one, Rest In Peace. God Bless America!

MEMORIAL DAY



They paid the price

The ultimate sacrifice

The cost of freedom

Is not free

Honor the ones we love

And lost



War torn scars

Willing to fight

For what you

Enjoy today

Sleep in peace tonight

As they rest for eternity                                               

God bless the soldiers

Who gave their life

We owe ours to them

They kept and keep

Our creed

Home of the brave

Land of the free



Stand as tall and strong

As the Statue of Liberty

Give thanks to the soldiers

That defend our honor

And belief                                                   

                                                   Authentic World War II Corporal uniform


God bless them

And their families

Giving children a chance

To realize their dreams

Because of them

America continues to be

Home of the brave

And the land of the free



Happy Memorial Day

In music news, my song "Alcohol Call" should be released on JUNE 9th, 2013 on iTunes, Amazon and 750 other online retailers. Be on the look out :0 and share with your friends!!

Band name: Fall Down Daddy - Song name: Alcohol Call

I got the CD back from the production. I listened to the song and was disappointed that they used a drum machine as opposed to real "live" drums. Especially when I am a drummer myself. I think it takes away the power of what the song could of been. I knew it was a long shot in the dark and really, what could I expect for 200 bucks. Hopefully, I can recoup my investment. I wish I could put out something better but I can't just sit on it. For only 7.99 MondoTunes will distribute the song to over 750 online retailers including iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Spotify and Napster to name a few.

I named the "band" Fall Down Daddy and the single "Alcohol Call" should be distributed worldwide online in about 3 weeks from now. Some sites will get it up sooner than others.
The song sounds like old school country ie. George Jones and Johnny Cash (R.I.P.) It has that "feel" to it and believe me, I would never compare my song to be even close to those legends.

Happy Mother's Day Mommies

Happy Mother's Day mommies..you are commended for what you do, from me anyway!
I lost my mother from pancreatic cancer when I was 15 years old. Please cherish everyday you have with your mother on Earth, I no longer have that chance. 


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY



NOTHING better than the unconditional love of a mother.

NEVER will I see my mother again

Until I make my way to heaven

I love you

For all you do

Along with the shit

You put up with

And what you go through

Happy Mother's Day

Haven't seen my mother

Since I was fifteen

God took her away

From pancreatic cancer

Wish the best

For you and yours

I wish I could be

With the one I love

Happy Mother's Day

I have to wait

For the gates of heaven

To open up

I have a lot

Of work

To do on Earth

Before I'm gone

No time to wallow

In sorrow

Need to move on

To see

A better tomorrow

Happy Mother's Day

Mama

I will be home soon

I know that you are

In a safe place

In the good hands

Of the Lord

The same place

I will be someday

Just a matter of time

Happy Mother's Day

Until then

Waiting

Do my work on Earth

God will handle the rest

I rest assured you're in good hands

Better mankind

Stay strong

Happy Mother's Day

I'll see you

When I get there

She cried

I don't want to die

I couldn't change

Destiny

It was up to

The doctors who operated

Outcome

The sight I didn't want to see

All I can say now

Living alone is

Happy Mother's Day

One step closer everyday

To give her another kiss

Form a family reunion

Regain

What I already lost

Nice to know

Good times are on their way

Take away

The worries

I had today

Think about

The memories

I had

From days

Gone past

Something to hold on to

Something "they" can't take away

Before I go

Let me just say

Happy Mother's Day

Greatest and Latest News For Me and You

Just got an email back from the production company recording my song. First off, the song is done!!! The CD has been sent in the mail, so I'll be check in the mail waiting, of course, with baited breath. Secondly, they said it turned out great and is very danceable and fun!! Hopefully they know a good song from a bad one. It's not a sight unseen as we have seen the words, it's a matter of sound unheard.


Once I get the CD, I will send it off to get distributed to over 750 outlets which should take about 3 weeks to complete, according to the distributor. I'll let you know of the complete release as soon as it is complete. Until then, I wrote these words in anticipation of what might, could happen.

LESSON SESSION


Written May 1, 20013



CLASS IS IN SESSION

TIME FOR YOU

TO LEARN A LESSON



DON'T TELL ME

I TOLD YOU SO



YOU DIDN'T WANT

TO LISTEN

AS I SPOKE

THE TRUTH



ALL YOU WANTED TO DO

WAS TELL LIES

THAT CAME BACK TO YOU



CALL ME A DRUNK

WITHOUT DIRECTION

BUT I THINK

I NEED ANOTHER DRINK

I BLAME YOU

FOR MY FAULT



KEEP YOU GUESSING

YOU NEVER KNOW

WHERE THE BLESSING

COMES FROM



LIVE ON MY OWN

WITHOUT A CARE

IN THE WORLD



HE WILL PROTECT YOU

FROM THE PROBLEMS

YOU MAY FACE

ANY DAY

ALL YOU NEED IS FAITH



KNOW THAT HE LOVES YOU

AND WILL

ALWAYS

KEEP YOU SAFE



FROM A DARK PLACE

TAKE TOMORROW

AS A GIFT

HE GIVES IT BACK

10 FOLD

NOT WHAT YOU GOT

BUT WHAT

YOU HAVE BEEN BESTOWED

EVEN WITHOUT

A PLACE TO GO



A LIFE LESSON

I COULD NEVER

LEARN IN SCHOOL



I have too much time on my hands while I am on "vacation", good that I have time to write another poem but I am drinking like a fish. But that will end soon, as my money is running out. I might go into detox in Marathon as I am tired of the situation as I wait for my song to get done. Celebrating too early, I think and I have no clue on how it sounds but the producer has emailed me a few times and tells me it sounds great. You never know how the public will take your song. It's gonna take 2 more weeks for the finished CD then I have to pay for distribution which is only 8 bucks to get delivered to over 750 outlets online including
iTunes, Amazon and all kinds of other sites. So we'll see what the future holds, if I had a crystal ball, I would tell you now, but I don't. I've decided to name my publishing company after my grandfather who was a Major in the Allied Air Force and my mothers' father, his name is Collis Jordan so I liked the ring of, Major Jordan Productions, being that they produced me, I think it would only be fair if I paid homage to them. That's all for now, just pray I don't drink myself to death or end up in jail!! Peace, Love and Happiness!!

FRESH OUT OF BUBBLE GUM

There's a joke about kickin' ass and bubble gum. These words I wrote last night and I couldn't stop laughing!! I don't know if the reference of an "ass" doctor in which my brother is a anal cancer doctor, a Professor of Oncology to be exact, I guess he likes dealing with assholes, I personally can't stand them, but that is his chosen profession. GOD bless him, it's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. I love him with all my heart!!! I dedicate these words to him, with tongue and "ass" cheeks, of course!!!




FRESH OUT OF KICK ASS

BUT I THINK

WE MIGHT

STILL HAVE SOME

BUBBLE GUM


WE'll TAKE YOUR NAME AND NUMBER

AND CALL YOU IN THE MORNING


TO SEE

WHEN THE DOCTOR

CAN PUT A FOOT

UP YOUR ASS



Short and simple, but, at least, I think, to the point.



Wrote a few more lines that I like, but have yet to put them to a poem, here they are.......


But first, let me give you words a fellow homeless man named Ken wrote in my notebook as I was writing another poem/song pissed off at K.O.T.S. after they told me they were full and I had to go. He told me that he had a line to write, then I handed him my notebook and he wrote,

"Have I told you, how much I like you, I said to my hero"

Pretty cool and surprising to me, you never know, how somebody thinks about you.

The homeless community is usually vindictive and out to get you, as you sleep in the same place. For the most part, it seems to me, they try to get everything with greed, without thinking about somebody else, Me Me Me. I know one guy who HAS TO BE FIRST IN LINE at the soup kitchen EVERYDAY!!! Ridiculous to me, but what do I know, I'm just another man, living on the streets.

O.K. Enough banter...here are some of the lines...



BURN A BRIDGE

YOU WILL NEVER

CROSS AGAIN




KICKING ASS NOW

TAKING NAMES LATER

YOU STARTED A WAR

I WILL NEVER FORGET

TO

FINISH




TREAT ME

LIKE A EPIDEMIC DISEASE

POINT YOUR FINGER

WITHOUT A PLACE TO SLEEP



ONE OF

THE ELITE SOCIETY

SUE ME

WITHOUT MONEY

TO CONSUME

YOU WISH

YOU WERE ME

I WISH

NOT TO BE YOU



Thank you, this concludes our broadcast of the poeticdrummer blogspot, remember, the only life, you have, is one! So, make sure, you have some fun!;)

Poem Of The Day Before They Kick Me Out Of The Library

Quick post, gotta go, before I leave, here's a poem, I wrote today.

Written April 29th, 2013




DRY MY EYES, FROM THE TEARS I CRY



LEFT ALONE

WITHOUT A HOME

THE TEARS

I DRY

BY MYSELF

GIVE ME

ANOTHER DAY OF HOPE



WASH AWAY THE PAIN

I WISH

TO DO WITHOUT

NOT MY FAULT

NOT IN THE CARDS

THAT I WANTED

TO BE DEALT

TRAPPED

WITHOUT A PLACE TO GO

TOUGH ROAD

I WISH

NOT TO BE

BUT IT'S A FACT

THAT REMAINS

REALITY



TRYING TO WRITE A SONG

THE ONLY THING

I HAVE LEFT

IN THIS WORLD



SHOOT ME AT THE STAKES

FOR TRYING TO RELIVE

MY MISTAKES



MY MOM

WENT AWAY

BY THE TIME

I WAS FIFTEEN



I WRITE THESE WORDS

TO STAY ALIVE



TO SURVIVE

WHERE THE DAD

I NEVER SEEN

WENT



YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND

I TRY TO EXPLAIN

BUT EVERYTHING

WENT THE WRONG WAY



THE OTHER WAY

I STILL HOLD ON TO A DREAM



NOT EASY

A LOT OF TEARS

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH



I DON'T RECOMMEND

THESE WORDS I LIVE

THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEFT

TO HOLD ON TO

AND GIVE





PLEASE FORGIVE ME

I WISH I

COULD TELL YOU

SOMETHING ELSE



MY ADVICE WOULD BE

HAVE FUN

WHILE YOU CAN



BEFORE YOU FALL

INTO THE GRAVE



REGRET SOMETHING

YOU NEVER DID



I TRIED IN LIFE

THE BEST

THAT I COULD DO

ALL I HAVE LEFT

IS BLOOD TO SPILL



YOU THOUGHT

YOU HAD THE TRUTH

MY REALITY

A LIE

NEVER TOLD

MY PROBLEM REMAINS

STILL UNSOLVED



DRY MY EYES

FROM THE TEARS

I TRY

NOT TO CRY



A PLACE

I RUN AND HIDE



HAVE TO GO THROUGH

THE PAIN

BEFORE YOU GET TO

THE GLORY



JUST ANOTHER

PRICE IN LIFE

YOU HAVE TO PAY



I DON'T RECOMMEND

GOING DOWN

THE SAME ROAD

I HAVE BEEN TO



I'M A CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER

LIVING ON A DIFFERENT CORNER

WITHOUT THE COST

OF RENT

BUT THE DREAMS

ON THE STREET

ARE NOT THE SAME

AS YOU MIGHT THINK



JUDGE ME

BY THE COVER

OF MY BOOK

TAKE A SECOND LOOK

BEFORE YOU MAKE

A JUDGEMENTAL DECISION

I JUST MIGHT CHANGE

SHOW YOU

A THING OR TWO



I HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE

JUST LIKE YOU

JUST THROUGH

THE EYES

OF A DIFFERENT STORY

WITH END RESULTS

UNKNOWN



These words are all over the place, but then again, HEY, SO AM I..!!, what a coincidence, how convenient, matches the point in question, as if, you didn't have an answer. Stare in the mirror, to see what I am after.

ANOTHER DREAM TO BELIEVE

I just sent in my final payment to get my song "Alcohol Call"  recorded should be done in about 3 weeks or less!! Can't wait to hear how it sounds, as it is a long shot in the dark, it's going to be a country song. I wrote these latest lyrics between 4-23-13 and 4-25-13 at my Secret Sleeping Spot on my vay cay, as I am currently unemployed. I am still trying and I will never give up, it's because of you, I never will. Thanks for your support and reading my words. I love you all!!!! I hope someday to make you all proud!!

AS THE MOON ROSE

I LAY MY HEAD DOWN

CONTEMPLATE

WHAT I DID WRONG TODAY

DREAM ABOUT

WHAT TOMORROW

MAY BRING

DO I HAVE A CHANCE

TO MAKE IT IN A WORLD

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

THE WIND BLOWS

IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION

TO A PLACE

WITHOUT A HOME

ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS

I DON'T KNOW

ALONE

EMPTY

UNDERNEATH

A FULL MOON

MUSIC THE ONLY THING

LEFT

TO HANG ONTO

KEEP ME SAFE AND WARM

PASS THE TIME

THROUGH THE STORM

A HARD ROAD TO FOLLOW

GIVE ME A BIGGER BETTER BITTER PILL

TO SWALLOW

TAKE ME AWAY

FROM MY SORROWS

WAKE ME UP TOMORROW

WHEN

THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER

GIVE ME

THE KEYS

TO PARADISE

YOU WOULDN'T

BELIEVE I'VE

BEEN BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF

AN AMAZING RIDE

A SIGHT

I WISH YOU COULD SEE

LETTERS

I PUT TOGETHER

TO EXPLAIN MY WORDS

GIVE ME ANOTHER DAY

TO DREAM

NEVER TAKE AWAY

MY MEMORIES

I MADE THE BED

I REST MY HEAD

BLAME MYSELF

ALL MY FAULT

I DON'T BLAME

ANYBODY ELSE

BAD CHOICE

I GUESS YOU COULD SAY

I TRIED

RIGHT OR WRONG

THAT'S THE WAY

 LIFE GOES
