There's individual turntable setups devoted to piano, bass, drums and a set for soloing as well. We like to try and explore the gamut of what a turntable can do.

Let It Be.
She always had that, Let It Be, album
On the turntable, with him, the latest uncle,
Sitting beside her on the couch or in her bed,
Smoking, making out, and you were told to go
Outside and play and leave her be, and so
You’d go out and play or find some mischief
To do with Hawksmith, who always seemed
To know how you felt, what made you tick,
And he’d say, let’s go up to Grundle’s barn,
Let’s go make out in the hay, and he’d laugh,
And so you’d go to the barn or down by Mullen’s
Pond and watch him fish. She always played
That darn Let It Be album when she was high,
Had it up loud, the music blaring out over
The yard, and she and him, laughing and cursing,
And when you used to creep back to the house
Late at night the lights were on and you’d hear
The Beatles’ album going round and round on
The turntable without reason or any sound.

Right Way To Fly
Listen for sounds you've been chosen to hear
Like you're laughing alone in the dark
Feeling so down but there's nothing to fear
But the break that I feel in my heart
But I suddenly see someone's waiving at me
A silhouette image a daydream
I'm hearing sounds of the turntable spinning
And you're running on air
I feel alright sometime
So look out yesterday
Tearing out the thoughts
With every word you say
Cause I know there's
A right way to fly
And a right way to die
So i'm just holding on
Numbing the pain like a brand new beginning
Cause everyone here looks the same
The merry-go-roung makes me
Feel like I'm spinning and
Everyone's screaming my name
But I suddenly see someone's waiving at me
A silhouette image a daydream
I'm hearing sounds of the turntable spinning
Like I'm running on air
I feel alright sometime
So look out yesterday
Tearing out my thoughts
With every word you say
Cause I know there's
A right way to fly
And a right way to die
So i'm just holding on
Well time is slowly tearing me apart
So I'm just holding on
Cause I know it's a ride
And it feels so hot today
Despite your holding everything inside
Get it out once in a while
Say goodbye to yesterday
Nah na na nah...

Roll Baby Roll
Swinging in the jungle
Never stop the turntable madness
Ready to blast, yeah
If you wanna get the vibe
Just come and take a taste
'Cause time is going quick
And there's no time to waste
Fallin' deeper, into your hole
Just go ahead and roll
I say hi, you say hello
I say yes, you say no
I say whistle, you just blow
So roll baby roll
I say hi, you say hello
I say yes, you say no
I say whistle, you just blow
So roll baby roll, yeah
Hands in the air!!!
Yes!
We have a break and a smile
Inside the venue
This ones dedicated to the junglist crew
Feel the bass drop vibrating your spirit
If you see a speaker come here 'n get near it
Ride again, ride again
Roll again, roll again, yeah
Bass the jungle dance
And bounce baby bounce, yeah
U and me, me and U
Ride again, ride again
Bass the jungle dance
And bounce baby bounce, yeah
Let me hear ya!!
I say hi, you say hello
I say yes, you say no
I say whistle, you just blow
So roll baby roll
I say hi, you say hello
I say yes, you say no
I say whistle, you just blow
So roll baby roll, yeah
C'mon! One more time yeah!

The Musician
The piano came to me
It could not find the right key
Apparently it was looking for a door
Then came the drums
Causing a ruckus
Seems I was the only one
Who took the time to listen
The bass-
With its deep voice
Didn't know wether it was a fish
Or an instrument of greatness
And the guitar-
I looked for the guitar
It was ringing a sad song
I suppose it was looking for me too.

I don't regard myself as a great classical or jazz pianist. I like country music, but I'm not a great player. I just like music. Drums 'n' bass is pretty exciting and I'd love to explore it.

Step Into Christmas
Welcome to my Christmas song
I'd like to thank you for the year
So I'm sending you this Christmas card
To say it's nice to have you here
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable
Oh step into Christmas with me
Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat

I stepped back from being out front to playing bass. So we started switching: I'd play bass on one song, we'd switch on the next song; I'd play piano... we'd play mandolin.

Surprise Party
The turntable hacked up a melancholy blues
The air was heavy with dust and odors
Several zazous danced while holding to their hearts
Short girls with spasmodic behinds
In a closet, an amateur obstetrics couple
Delivered themselves to games full of art and naivete
Another in a corner attempted with ardor
Tonsil-coupling, to music.
Hands encountered one another under too-short skirts
Drunk, two lovebirds—(what if I said: two dodos?)
Looked everywhere for a bed; they were all full…
Let this happy youth screw itself
Why eradicate from them this impure manure
If their hope restricts itself to rubbing membranes?

Fireflies Of Love
Fireflies of Love.
Summer by the river of temptation,
vinyl records and turntable gramophone
songs about love and longings.
Naive lyric, but for our young hearts it
had a deep meaning.
Passion like fireflies filled the air, the aroma
of grass and the scent of green leaves,
enchantment and adoration.
Nothing is like first love, alas it never lasts
and like fireflies, disappear at first light.
Liver spotted hands turn the pages of memories,
shiny leaves of youth clear as the river and
undimmed by middle-aged cynicism.
