about

See the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZC_Tfq2wrw

The first bonus track is a funny, short ska song about having to deal with a troll on the internet.

Ehresman remembers: "Last year I was the victim of an internet troll......Yeah, I know......it happens.....but at the time, I was not in the mood to let this guy avoid some form of accountability....and so I decided to write a song about the experience, and dreamed that night of a little ska ditty that would do the trick.......and here 'tis. I'm hoping it gives some truth to the old adage: 'Be careful how you treat a songwriter'......Actually, I don't know if that's an old adage, but it should be.....There, the song is out in the world, and I feel better now" :-)

lyrics

Lion Joe, the Internet Troll
(© 2022 Walter Ehresman)

Deep in the night, in his mother’s basement,
the king of the jungle goes prowling around;
Leaping from the bushes when you least expect it;
Chuckles to himself while he’s earning his crown.

[chorus]
He’s Lion Joe, the internet troll;
Computer savvy (not so much with the girls);
He's the patron saint of the uninvited;
Compensatin’ for the micro in the digital world.

Never much for creating new things;
But years in the trenches always tearing things down;
Wetting blankets and pissing on Cornflakes;
A might rain machine for parades in this town.
