Wonderful World

May 15 2008

What better excuse to write a tribute song than Luther the Rooster’s death?  I’ve been waiting for an emotionally distant event to provide some material.

So, please enjoy this demo of “Wonderful World,” a musical tribute to Luther that I wrote, recorded and mixed this afternoon.

Wonderful World (Demo) – Brian Shrader.mp3

WONDERFUL WORLD
(Shrader)

Somebody asked him,
“Why do chickens cross the road?”
He just smiled and he said,
“I guess that’s the path they chose”

Luther wondered, but he said,
“Don’t trust anybody else”
He wanted to know, and he had
To find out for himself

Luther always said,
“This is a wonderful world
“This is a world where we can love
“In this life, you have to pick
“Between the corn and the grubs.”
