Will it go round in Circles. Billy Preston I've got a song, I ain't got no melody I'ma gonna sing it to my friends I've got a song, I ain't got no melody I' ma gonna sing it to my friends Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky I've got a story, ain't got no moral Let the bad guy win every once in a while I've got a story, ain't got no moral Let the bad guy win every once in a while Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky I've got a dance, I ain't got no steps, no I'm gonna let the music move me around I've got a dance, I ain't got no steps I'm gonna let the music move me around Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky [Instrumental Interlude] Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky I've got a song, I ain't got no melody I'ma gonna sing it to my friends I've got a song, I ain't got no melody I' ma gonna sing it to my friends Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky Will it go round in circles Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky

Lucky Man Mike Milligan 6-9-08 She holds me tightly and closes her eyes & Doesn’t know I can feel her prayers and cries If she only knew the wrong I’ve done She’d pack her bags and have a right to run I come home smelling like a smoky bar Spent all my money on this old guitar I know that I wouldn’t have got this far With out her heart, without her heart *‘Cause I’m a lucky man… I’m a lucky man. I’m a lucky man, yes I am That’s what I am* She’s the needle. I’m the thread She pulls me though when I’m feeling dead She’s the fork. I’m the spoon. I’m her midnight. She’s my noon. I’m the evil. She’s the good. I’m the nail. She’s the wood. I’m the wrong. She’s the right. She’s my day. I’m her night. *And I’m a lucky man… I’m a lucky man. I’m a lucky man, yes I am That’s what I am*

about

Recorded Sept and Oct 2010 in Mike's house and Woodhenge Studio.

"If this house could talk!!! Its been home to several musicians since the 1890's. A lady lived here in the 40s'/50's. Her father worked at Continental Steel and played standup bass in many swing bands. She told me her father kept his gear and rehearsed in the parlor room where the drums where recorded for LUCKY MAN cd, (from where im writing this now!).... My parents, brother and i moved in during the summer of 1976. My little sister was born here a couple years later. While i was growing up, my dad's bands used to rehearse in the basement, before the studio was built. Before that, he used to rehearse in the parlor room! Marshall 8x10 cabs and all! In highschool, after the studio was built, my bands rehearsed in the basement. In Oct 2006, my parents decided to move to the country. It now belongs to me and my family. Its funny to be sleeping in my old childhood bedroom! It sure felt natural to be playing so loudly in the house! I could just hear the house..."Oh no! Not THIS again!".....
Feels like home to me!"
