"Tim Kelly writes and performs songs with outstanding lyrics that reflect the varied experiences of his life, accompanied by his driving guitar style. Tim's songs range from odes to his Irish ancestors to ballads about subjects as varied as TV programs, life in small-town America, and ranting pirates."
I didn't write that. Honest!! It was written by a friend of mine for the Queen City Balladeers website. I think he even meant most of it. The Q.C.B. is a Cincinnati folk music organization that's been going since the folk-boom of the early 60's. Check out the website at www.qcballadeers.org.

"Hokey Pokey Day". This one literally came to me in a dream. It's about live-and-let-live and why-can't-we-all-just-get-along.
