about

Revived and re-worded this tune from the Groanbox album "Livingston Sessions"

lyrics

Well he saw himself when he was young
Speak or be forgotten
Raccoon skin cap and a wood-carved gun
Remember or be forgotten

Saw his lover oh so fair
Running towards the mesa
Open book in her hands, eyes fixed out there
Seeking her enchanted mesa

Saw a sea of faces in their own little worlds
Dreaming up their mesa
Turning dead leaves into gold and stones into pearls
Conjuring their enchanted mesa

Old Paul Clifford sitting on his steps
Living in his mesa
Sipping his tea watching the sunset
On top of his enchanted mesa

Saw droves of people trying to flee
The bombed out broken mesa
A million pawns of the powers that be
Crying for an enchanted mesa

Peek underneath the slippery veil
Grasping for the mesa
Walking that dark gossamer trail
Blinded by the mesa

Oh Lord gonna walk that trail
Oh Lord can't you hear my wail
Oh Lord gonna walk that trail
Oh Lord gotta try lest I fail

Well he saw himself when he was small
Speak or be forgotten
Going through pachysandra looking for a ball
Remember or be forgotten

Peek underneath the slippery veil
Grasping for the mesa
Walking that dark gossamer trail
Blinded by the mesa

about

Cory Seznec image

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
