Artist picture
Hard-rocking, guitar-driven blues-influenced music.
Note June 2024: All of the songs with a RED guitar picture tag to the left were recorded LIVE over backing tracks created with an Nux Loop Core and an Ammoon Pock-Rock. Glarry GTL semi-hollow tele copy guitar used. Mini digital voice recorder with Shure and Fender mikes captured it all live. All the songs with yellow guitar picture tag are the previously recorded blues style songs. These are some songs I started writing and recorded in late 2005, early 2006. I recorded them at home in my loft using cassette machines and a couple of microphones. Pretty barebones stuff. I keep writing and adding new songs as I get the motivation. Life provides lots of that. Check out the videos that I just added, all performed with Crazy Mixed Up World. (see Crazy Mixed up World at reverbnation.com). Songs sound best with headphones.

Lyrics
KEEP THE CHANGE (DP) (Written by David R. Pankoski – May 2009) I aint paying no more taxes, just 4 U to give it away. To all your friends in high places, we never hear them complain. They lobby to change the laws and we never see the lite of day. You can stick your job in your ass man, I aint workin no more. Half my life I slave away, to pay the taxes Im sure. While those in high places, are ridin free on my labor. You can take your foolish laws, I dont care anyway. Put my ass in jail, where you gotta feed me everyday. Our freedoms are now a myth as you keep taking them away. Bailouts for the greedy, theyre stealing from us everyday. Sticky fingers and back-door deals are the accepted way. They take the profits for themselves, and leave the bills for us to pay. You gotta understand me people, Ive had it up to here. We tell them what we want, but it falls on deaf ears. They take care of their own, so wheres that leave you and me. You make friends with our enemies, but you turn your back on me. Overseas they scoff and laugh, but youre too blind to see. They play you for a fool, and the debts are paid by me. You promised that your change, would cure the countries ills Your lying, blaming and rhetoric, arent given me no thrills. Yes you can keep your change, save for me those dollar bills. You better start walking, towards that door, Because we don’t want you, we don’t want you more, You can stick your change, just like I told you before.
