A bunch of old farts playing with our toys.Sometimes it's music,sometimes it's noise.PLAY!!!
I am currently playing in a part time working band called Johnny Ringo and the Wanted.We play a mix of covers and originals with a country blues flavor.My tastes run from classic rock to blues rock to rockabilly.I am using this page to showcase some of my original work.

Lyrics
Aces and Eights David Ise Back in the old West lived a man named Wild Bill Hickok was his surname-he was not affraid to kill His ivory handled Colts caused wives and mothers to weep he always wore two pistols-even when asleep chorus: He held aces and eights-the dead mans hand in a deadly game of poker,in North Dakota land He held aces and eights-in Deadwood town He held aces and eights,when he got shot down Fast draw,little talk,shoot first ask questions later He didn't just tame the west,he slapped her down and made her Handsome and lean,his steely gaze was cold and mean ruthless as a lawman-in Hayes and Abeliene chorus: He held aces and eights-the dead mans hand in a deadly game of poker,in North Dakota land He held aces and eights-in Deadwood town He held aces and eights,when he got shot down Nerves of steel as bullets whiz by he takes steady aim, and another man dies Every live gunfighter knows,you take your time in a hurry haste makes waste,then it's you that they burry Chorus: He held aces and eights-the dead mans hand in a deadly game of poker,in North Dakota land He held aces and eights-in Deadwood town He held aces and eights,when he got shot down Hearing footsteps from behind,in a showdown in the street he quickly turned and fired-from instinct under heat his bullet found it's victim--Williams,in the head he then watched in horror as his deputy fell dead Chorus: He held aces and eights-the dead mans hand in a deadly game of poker,in North Dakota land He held aces and eights-in Deadwood town He held aces and eights,when he got shot down Repeat chorus.
