about
The self titled, Sir Jhon, album was recorded with musician/producer/friend, Jason "Junior" Sewell (one-eyed doll). It was a lot of fun to create, as we let our inner children out to romp around.
The banjo and/or acoustic guitar creates the foundation for each song. From there the production varies drastically. Some tracks call on fuzzed out synthesizers and saxophones while others use a violin or mandolin to complete the mood of the tune. Lyrics are sometimes quirky and humorous, sometimes insightful or thought provoking. The clarinet, drum set, tongue drum, djembe, cabasa, snake charmer flute, saxophone, synthesizers, electric guitar, flute, violin, mandolin, bass, upright bass, as well as additional vocalists all make appearances on different tracks, creating different feels, yet the album congeals into a unified piece of art.

I AINT NO HIPPIE, BUT I THINK WE NEED TREES, AND I AINT NO HIPPIE, BUT WE MIGHT JUST NEED AIR TO BREATHE
I ANIT NO HIPPIE, BUT I DON’T UNDERSTAND, HOW YOUR JOB IS WORTH OUR LAND
BUT I AINT NO HIPPIE, NO I AINT NO HIPPIE
AND I AINT NO GENIUS, BUT I THINK IT’S PLAIN TO SEE, WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU, AINT GOOD FOR WE
AND I KNOW YOUR PAYCHECK SUPPORTS YOUR FAMILY, BUT WHAT THEY GONNA DO, WHEN THEY AINT GOT WATER TO DRINK
BUT I AINT NO HIPPIE, NO I AINT NO HIPPIE, I AINT NO HIPPIE! - Track Name: Underwater World

PURPLE AND ORANGE STRIPED FISHES
WITH EYES THE SIZE OF THE GOOD SUNDAY DISHES
WELL THE KELP AND THE CORAL
ALL HELP TO PAINT THE MURAL
IN CRAZY CARTOON COLORS
THE UNDERWATER WORLD
IS SURREAL AS REAL CAN BE,
-- WELL IT SWISHES AND IT SWAYS
AS IT PLAYS IT’S GOOFY GAMES
CONNECTED LIKE A PUZZLE
SUBJECTED TO THE MUZZLE BY THEMSELVES
NO THEY AINT TO KEEN
REFUSE TO OBSERVE THE MEANS
OF THEIR OWN OPPRESSION,
--THE UNIVERSE IS DEFINITELY ALIVE
I-I-I-Iyee-I CAN FEEL IT THRIVE
1 MILLION POINTS OF LIGHT THEY FLICKER
SOME STAND STILL WHILE OTHERS JIGGER
IT’S LIKE STARING OUT AT THE OCEAN
YA DON’T KNOW WHO MIXED THE POTION
OR WHEN THEY’LL EMPTY
THE PEATREE DISH AGAIN,
--IT’S BY THE OCEANSIDE
WHERE I FEEL NO STRIFE
& BY THE OCEAN SIDE
I CAN REST MY MIND
BY THE OCEANSIDE THE OCEANSIDE! - Track Name: How Gauche

FORK ON THE LEFT, & A SPOON ON THE RIGHT, WHICH GLASS DO I USE, IF I WANNA DRINK SPRITE
YA GOTTA STAND UP SIT DOWN SHAKE HANDS BOW, REMOVE THAT HAT, IF YOUR WORSHIPPN A COW
THIS WAY DON’T SAY WHAT’S NOT RIGHT, I’M NOT ITALIAN, I’M MEDITERRANIAN DELIGHT
DON’T PICK YER NOSE, DON’T SMELL YOUR SOCKS, DON’T SCRATCH YOUR ASS, DON’T TOUCH YOUR CROTCH
YA GOTTA BE POLITE, DON’T STARE INSPITE, DON’T LOOK TO LONG AT WHAT’S NOT QUITE RIGHT
FAKE INTEREST, SINCERITY’S A JEST, HONESTY MY MOST SERIOUS OFFENSE
ETIQUETTE, ETIQUETTE.
I DISDAIN, THAT THE STUPIDEST FEIGN. ETIQUETTE, ETIQUETTE
IT’S SO INANE, THE SUPERCILLIOUS GAME OF ETIQUETTE, ETIQUETTE
SO GIVES US A KISS, CUZ THIS IS A TEST, AND A FAILING SCORE, IS A SOCAIL HEX
BUT ITS FOR THE BEST, I MUST CONFESS, DON’T WANNA BE, ONE OF YOUR BLESSED - Track Name: spin'n'n

HERE’S ANOTHER VERSION OF CREATION
A KINDA MODERN MELDED MYTHOLOGY
IT STARTS WAY BACK IN THE DARK DAYS
WHEN LIGHTENING PIERCED CHAOS
CONCEIVING TWINS
DICHOTOMY
AND DUPLICITY
AND THEY SEEMED SO SWEET
BUT IT WAS ALL JUST PRETEND
SO PAIN WAS BORN
AND NOW SHE PROPIGATES
IN THE FORM
OF AN ADVANCED PRIMATE
NEITHER GOOD NOR EVIL
JUST CONFUSED AND MISPLACED
CUZ WE DID NOT START THE CYCLE
BUT WE’RE SPIN'N JUST THE SAME
YEAH WE'RE SPIN'N JUST THE SAME
SO HOW DOES THIS YARN END
NO DOUBT AN UNRAVELED MESS
CUZ MAN CANNOT TRANSCEND
HIS OWN CLEVERNESS
BUT HE’S SPIN'N JUST THE SAME
YA WE’RE SPIN'N ALL THE SAME
SPIN'N ALL THE SAME
SPIN'N'N ALL THE SAME - Track Name: Mr. Pancake

I LIKE TO TAKE, A SYRUP SHOWER
AND I LIKE TO WEAR, A BUTTER HAT
YA THEY CALL ME PANCAKE
CALL ME MR. PANCAKE
SMOTHERED IN STRAWBERRIES
ROUND A WHIPCREAM CROTCH
THE PIPPN’ HOT STEAM
MELTS MY MARGAREENE
SO DISREGARD THE SILVER
STICKY SWEET DEBOTCHERY
TOSS ME LIKE A FRISBEE
USE ME LIKE A SPONGE
MEET ME IN THE LOG CABIN
CUZ WE’RE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN!
YA I LIKE TO TAKE, A SYRUP SHOWER
AND I LIKE TO WEAR, A BUTTER HAT
YA THEY CALL ME PANCAKE
CALL ME MR. PANCAKE
YA I AM THE PANCAKE
SO CALL ME MR. PANCAKE - Track Name: Musta Bina Bastard

WELL MY SOUL GOT STUCK ON THE DOWN ESCALATOR, IN THE KARMA MALL
WONDER WHAT I DID TO DESERVE, THIS ENDLESS DECENT
MUSTVE BEEN SOMETHING TERRIBLE, THAT THE NEW ME WOULD REGRET
CUZ MOST FOLKS SAY I’M A DECENT FELLOW, BUT THEY ALL KNOW ME NOW
SOMETIME BEFORE ME BECAME MINE, I MUSTVE BEEN A BASTARD SOMEHOW
OH I MUSTVE BEEN A BASTARD
GUESS I WAS A BASTARD
WELL I THINK I’M INDECISIVE, BUT I’M JUST NOT SURE
WITH SO MANY POSSIBILITIES, I DON’T WANNA GET BORED
AND I’M SO DAMN MANIC, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT I’M AFRAID OF SWINGS
I PREFER THE JUNGLE GYM CUZ UPSIDE DOWN IS HOW I LIKE THINGS
SO I MUSTVE BEEN A BASTARD
OH I MUSTVE BEEN A BASTARD
MAYBE THE LAST TIME AROUND I SHOUTED OUT LOUD, AT LADYLUCK
AND SHE’S STILL OFFENDED BUT SLOWLY BEIN MENDED, BY HECKLING ME
CUZ I GET THESE UNEXPLAINED TWANGS OF PAIN AND FEELINGS OF ILL-EASE
LIKE THERE’S A VODDOO QUEEN DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS
DOIN HER DIRTY DEEDS JUST TO MAKE ME PAY CUZ I MUSTA BEEN A BASTARD……
SO I MUSTVE BEEN A BASTARD
OH I MUSTVE BEEN A BASTARD - Track Name: Nobody Knows

THEY’LL KEEP TRYN WHEN I’M GONE
TO CRACK THE SKULL AND FIGURE ON
JUST HOW WE’VE BEEN THINKN
SOME BELIEVE THAT MODERN SCIENCE
CAN DEDUCE WITH ALL RELIANCE
LIFE’S MYSTERIES
RACING TO EVOLVE
DAMN THE PLANET, DAMN US ALL
WE CAN IMPROVE IT
WHAT AN ARROGANCE IN MAN
REFUSING TO GRANT THAT
NOBODY KNOWS
NOBODY CAN KNOW
BUT OUR SKELETINS STILL REMAIN
AND BONES DECAY
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FLAME
UNBOUND BY EARTHLY REINS
NOBODY KNOWS
NOBODY CAN KNOW - Track Name: Stagecoach

THE STAGECOACH IS REALN’ ROUND THE MOUNTAIN PASS TONIGHT AND IT’S MOVN’ WAY TOO FAST
DUST IS FLYING BULLETS WHIZ MEN TERRORIZE THE NIGHT AND THERE AINT NO END IN SIGHT
HISTORY IS HAUNTING ME I’VE BEEN DOWN HERE BEFORE WHY CAN’T I LET IT GO
I HEAR A SOUND AND SEE A SIGHT I KNOW I’VE SEEN BEFORE BUT THERE AINT NO EXPLANATION,
MET THE DEVIL DOWN LOS ALAMOS ROUND MIDNIGHT I JUST STOOD AND SHOOK WITH FRIGHT
NO WORDS WERE SAID NOBODY LEFT DEAD WHEN HE STROLLED OUT OF SIGHT BUT NOW MY MIND …..AINT WRAPPED TOO TIGHT
AND HISTORY KEEPS CHASN’ ME I’VE BEEN DOWN HERE BEFORE I WANT TO IT LET GO
I HEAR A SOUND AND SEE A SIGHT I KNOW I’VE SEEN BEFORE YET THERE AINT NO EXPLANATION,
IMAGES KEEP HAUNTING ME BUT THE STAGE DON’T RUN NO MORE IT’S ALL TOO REAL SOME YEARS AGO I MUST HAVE RODE THAT STAGE BEFORE
