Denny Carlson sent me a work of his called “Thumbed drums and bowed cymbals”, and Hannah Mosqueda read a poem of hers about “friends”.
Erick Hovey

lyrics

I had a dream last night
We were all convened at a church to meet and greet and atone for all our crimes
We looked upon each other, found no truths, no resolution
Wearing the faces of our youth, every blink was a tactic, every breath a war
I have grown too tired for these petty pointless games
But they are always playing with the same worn deck of cards
Even in my dreams, we are not friends, we are vultures
We picked through the remains of a million conversations
Reciting our dead memories, regurgitating dialog
We fed upon each other and found no peace, no satisfaction
Sharpening beaks upon the pews, every offer a tactic, every truce a war
I have grown too tired for these petty pointless games
But they are always playing with same worn deck of cards
Even in my dreams we are not friends, we are vultures
I have grown too tired, we are not friends, we are vultures

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa

Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
