Name your price! All purchases go towards mixing and mastering the entire concert. This was a very special concert for me, as all the arrangements (horns et al) were mine. I rarely ever get to gather a band together, much less a nonet. Due to technical difficulties, this recording was put on the back burner, waiting for the technology to catch up. It is time!
Everyone who purchases this track will get the download of the full live recording when it is finished. It's an expensive final step in rescuing this amazing night of music. Costing $300+ to finish each track, and pay for mechanicals on the cover songs.

Purchasable with gift card

STARS RAINED DOWN
music / lyrics Lisa Markley

Lay those lips on me again
just like the first time they found mine
tornado touched down, turned me around
cover was blown
Just like the first, my world fell away
Stars rained down, rained down...

Lay those lips on me again
like the first time in years
a kiss like that here comes the beat
heartbeat in my ears
just like the first
a drummer in belly, and my chest
my mouth, the mutineer
no fear, rained down
the stars rained down, rained down

Lay those lips on me again
like the first time
when your kiss belonged to another and I
should not be yours
just like the first time
my world fell away
Stars rained down, rained down...

Lay those lips on me again just like the first time they found mine
tornado touched down, turned me around
cover was blown
cover was blown
