Rumor Has It
Bob Lever
Cenora Songs, BMI


Old hippie living at the end of the road,
rumor has it, he's growing his own,
I'm not sure but the flowers sure smell nice,
Vanagon out in the yard,
Almost looks like part of the lawn,
all painted up with flowers on the side,

Old Hippie living at the end of the road,
leave him alone cause rumor has it,
he's growing his own.

Works down at the vegetable stand,
selling the goods he grows on his land,
never see that man without a smile,
long pony tail, kinda grey,
talks about woodstock like it was yesterday,
that music never went out of style,

Old Hippie living at the end of the road,
leave him alone cause rumor has it,
he's growing his own.

One of these days I'm gonna make a deal,
take him a bottle from my best still,
trade for some green if you know what I mean.

Old Hippie living at the end of the road,
leave him alone cause rumor has it,
he's growing his own.

Really like the lyrics and the music sounds great. Very enjoyable listen. Nice slide/fiddle work and it always nice to have extra vocals in there.

Green stuff -- oops, I mean great stuff.

Howdy Bob,

I really like it. The production sound professional. Really like the lyric and the melody. The rhythm section is especially well done.

Bob,

I like it--YES!

Needs a last TAG LINE--something like: After we traded weed and shine-He said you can come back anytime!

Thanks all,

Recorded in the living room. We started adding different tag lines when we play it live. Haven't picked a final one yet. Yeah, TJ on Dobro and Darin on fiddle adds so much.

Really nice work on this, Bob! Lyric, melody, instrumentation, all are right on the money. I especially like the female harmony/backing vocals.

Fun song!

Thanks you all for your comments and your rime.

Muskie,
There's one in every town if we just look I think. This was a lot of fun to write and record. There are enoughh sad songs, thought I'd write a happy one.

Dan, Crank it up, it's best played loud.

Greg,
I'll tell Trina, we decided at the last minute to add her vocals. I thought it gave it a nice touch.

Hi Bob

Good song and production -- I like how the players really feel like they are all in the same room - you really did a great job with the mix on that. We have Lots of these kind of folks in this corner of the world - : )

Thank you Joice,

We set up in my living room with 4 condensor mics and everybody just started playing. Some editing after but not much. It's always fun when you have a room full of good musicians. It just seems to flow.
