Train – Lyrics – written by Everett Dumas

He’d ride his dropped, chopped banana bike through the monkey trails at night
He drank his first can of Bud up on Treasure Hill
He’d throw rocks down at the frog pond He used to get a thrill hopping on a train, hopping on a train
Now there’s rusty tracks and tall, gray grass growing up between the rails and empty cars. He says

The train don’t run by here no more
They just closed down the country store
And the mill shut down about a year before that
No the train don’t run by here no more

There’s footprints in the concrete where his father used stand
He followed in his shoes, making paper for the news.
He did his job with pride, it choked him up inside to be American, to be American
Now there’s no more smell of sulfur, no pulp trucks hauling logs and empty cars

Chorus

Crooked politicians, whom we sent to represent.
Deals are made made, unfair trade meant for the one percent
They make the laws and bend ’em, Take the jobs and send ’em down to Mexico
They watch their profits soar, selling war, all while pointing fingers at the poor who have only empty cars because..

Chorus

He loves this town his whole family’s in it’s sacred ground
Everybody gather ’round, the smokestack’s coming down…

Chorus

Chorus

The Woodstock Experience @ Musikbox Minden

The Woodstock Experience - Musikbox Minden
The Woodstock Experience – Musikbox Minden

On March 24, 2023, The Woodstock Experience featuring bands from all around Minden/Bielefeld/Buckeburg, etc… took place in The Musikbox in Minden. Here you will find videos of all the bands, over 100 photos of the bands and guests, as well as, links to everyone..

Gerry and myself played a set of completely acoustic music from the famous music festival.

Then, came ‘Touch of Sound’ playing a great high energy set of Janis Joplin and other assorted Woodstock music. Up next were ‘The Youngmen’ who played a set of Neil Young tunes.

Then it was time for Minden’s own ‘CCR Revival Band’ to take the stage. For an hour they rocked the house. And, to finish off the night, was ‘Third Stone Free’ playing the greatest music of Jimi Hendrix!

All the bands did a GREAT JOB! And, an excellent job by Lange & Ohlemeyer Veranstaltungstechnik with lights and sound. Of course, The Musikbox is always a great venue.

Here are videos of each group:

Ray Pasnen & Gerry Chiverton – Acoustic Woodstock Experience
