by Jon Gonzales
Ukulele-strumming artist from San Francisco Bay Area, Jon Gonzales weaves ukulele folk-hooks with lyrical psychedelic satire and "pushing-the-envelope" paradoxical, universal subjects in his songs.In today's shifting online-music world of single's releases, Gonzales' talent for solid album-making along with studio producer, bassist and fairy music godfather, Michael Lindner, has led to the creations of his debut, "Water 'n Whiskey" (BMI, 2012), and follow-up "Hump" (BMI, 2015).Teacher by day, father for life, Gonzales performs solo acts, and collaborates with his band, Jon Gonzales 'n Family.

Willie Way Let know one ever say that I'd be okay to put me in a cage I long to live the Willie Way Oh Grandma, you loved the outlaws of the highway Who taught us to love everyone, live every day Then Jasper came along to help me be this very song and the white light from the Stardust lit the way Seven Spanish angels too close to the ground At Home Motel on Long Lost Highway You're almost 85, you're Whiskey River ain't run dry And it's time to stand outside and smoke a "j" The world is full of slaves But in my world, they're be no 'tengo que's' I'm free to choose the Willie Way Let know one ever say that I'd be okay to put me in a cage I long to live the Willie Way lyrics and music by Jon Gonzales (BMI 2017) JG: ukulele, lead vocals Michael Lindner: requento nashville tuned parlor guitar, accordion, bass, drums and percussion keyboard backing vocals Recorded, mixed, and produced by Michael Lindner-Alley One Studio 2017

Yes, And Nectar
lyrics by Tony Vigorito. From novel "Love and Other Pranks (2017) music by Jon Gonzales/Michael Lindner (BMI) lead vocals: Jon Gonzales background vocals: Mimi Pirard lead ukulele: Gary Sugiyama http://tonyvigorito.com/love-and-other-pranks.php http://jongonzales.com Tempt me with your outlaw apple with eyes that flash so wild Answer me it’s oh so good with lips that dare and smile as we lick yes, and nectar! Cast this day into the night the wind it shivers cold Cuddle with me closer trust our spirit soars so bold as we whisper yes, and nectar! Fend with me the taunt of dark our fear will find repose Dream with me discover light the shining smile that knows as we murmur yes, and nectar! (Be my queen in this here fairy tale and you can peel and feel my love and other pranks) Blinking into mourning sad at life’s forgotten hymn Must we surely die my love and fade into the dim as we cry yes, and nectar! Find with me the love that’s lost the song that’s long unsung Sing with me abandoned words unleashed upon our tongue as we shout yes, and nectar! Kiss me by the candlelight oh kiss me by the sun Dance with me like hurricanes and spin our souls undone as we roar yes, and nectar! Watch me as I live my life as I shall witness yours Free our hearts of all our hurt and open all the doors as we purr yes, and nectar!
