Stillwater-my-home-my-heart

Please find the attached ditty. (My lead singer for this song, Claude, surprised me by recording a live performance. Usually, I have to edit, mix, and pitch correct the individual tracks to fix the timing and tone, but, even though it is a little rough, I really like how it turned out.) Enjoy! In service, Rich "The original Dr Games since 1994" https://zhalindor.com/dreams/ Lyrics: Title: Stillwater, my heart, my home (Intro) A pioneer spirit will find the way, Where early settlers came to work and stay. By welcoming strangers with country charm, This town will keep its people safe from harm. (Verse) In eighteen eighty-four the Boomers came With Captain Couch to start a noble claim. The Land Run brought a town of dust and red Where tents and dugouts served a weary bed. (Chorus) Where Still Water lies wide and bright, A beacon in the prairie light. (Verse) Old Amon Swope built bank and church and store, With wooden walls and planks across the floor. A seventy-six foot pole with a light, To guide the weary traveler at night. (Chorus) Where Still Water lies wide and bright, A beacon in the prairie light. (Verse) Frank Eaton lived a life of legend’s mold, As Pistol Pete his story is still told. McGinty and the Vigilantes grew, While Irving wrote of prairies he passed through. (Chorus) Where Still Water lies wide and bright, A beacon in the prairie light. (Verse) Garth Brooks began his song on local stage, Before he reached the global music page. At Hideaway for pizza and a slice, To wrestling mats where heroes pay the price. (Chorus) Where Still Water lies wide and bright, A beacon in the prairie light. (Verse) The sirens wail when storms begin to rise, As spinning clouds appear within the skies. With Kameoka linked across the sea, Stillwater is the only home for me. (Outro) Where Still Water lies wide and bright, A beacon in the prairie light.
