Before The Sun Rises 2011

by Kevin Lajiness

Before the sun rises
I'll be ridding
Destination Unknown
I'm the man they call Montana
And I ride this way alone
Some say I got a lose trigger
Others say a heart of stone
Fact is it's neither
It’s just from being alone
Long time I met a female
Settle down and built a ranch
What happen to her is a mystery
Chances are she just up and left
She gave me fair warning
Said the coyote was no way to go
If she wanted to marry a drifter
She would of married a rolling stone
Nowadays it's hard to see
I look off into the distance
And all I can see is tumble weeds
Before the sun rises
I'll be ridding
Destination Unknown
I'm the man they call Montana
And I ride this way alone
Some say I got a lose trigger
Others say a heart of stone
Fact is it's neither
It’s just from being alone
Long time ago met a female
Settle down and built a ranch
What happen to her is a mystery
Chances are she just up and left
She gave me fair warning
Said the coyote was no way to go
If she wanted to marry a drifter
She would of went with a rolling stone
Nowadays it's hard to see the horizon
I look of into the distance
And all I can see is tumble weeds
Yes all I can see Is tumble weeds

Mountain of Vines

THE STORY

THE STORY

Hi My Name Is Kevin Lajiness ,Forgive the Spelling and English, I am a naive Artist. I started doing wood sculptures about 12 years ago to have something to keep me busy after I Stopped Drinking and smoking, i was influenced by Father Leonard Carrieri, a local catholic priest and sculpture, who at the time was in his eighties and had not started doing it till he was fifty four years old.He was a positive influence in my life he mentored me and i volunteered my time to help him After spending the better pat of five years in my basement I had become tiered of doing wood sculptures. for the next five or so years i spent alternating between working on the house doing genealogical works and building computers. for the later part of this time i spent allot of time going out at night trash picking through trash for computer parts Lawnmowers furniture and basically anything of value and fixing it up, till my house became full of junk, then i had to get rid of it all.
Then One day i went down to the corner were the had been an old industrial sight that there had been an oil spill on and had sat empty for 30 years it was overgrown full of trash and vines part of it was a field with a gravel and ashfault pavement, a complete mess uneven and potholed.
i started cleaning, clearing rotted growth grubbing vines and overgrowth, poising ivy, raking stones filling holes,grading with a homemade grader, that i pulled behind my van, leveling. Timing the trees Being careful not to cut any down. pulling weeds and roots . everything by hand. Mulching everything with a homemade riding lawnmower and trailer. spreading mixing hay and straw. and planting grass throughout. that I had watered with a homemade speeder mad from a plastic barrel.
The City at times working hand and hand to take away all the trash ash-fault, Rooted wood, block, brick, grub, anything and everything that came off the sight.
with there support especially of the counsel president, who would later walk her dog there. it was cleaned up.
while working there for a year i became intimate with the wild life there, I took many pictures of the foliage and the wildlife, especially of a juvenile red tailed hawk that had no fear of me. i was at one time able to get within five feet of it while it was feeding and get many pictures. I was able to also get pictures of box Turtles, once of one laying eggs. another time a abandon baby duck had shown up at my house and eventually bonded with me. i believe that duck followed me home after the nest was destroyed by some landscapers on a adjacent property. the duck is now a pet of one of the local police officers brother, that worked at a zoo and could give her a proper home. he had first took her to the zoo but she flew back to his house so they kept her as a pet. she had six chicks this year.
I had collected a mountain of material related to this open Space witch was referred a s the formerly SJI (South Jersey Industries) Property, prier to being own by the gas company It was the sight of Hagerthy oil. I Hope i have the spelling right. I was told they where very nice people and extended a helping hand to many especially during the depression when people could not afford to pay there oil Bills. I believe I Was Told Ms Hagerthy was in charge of a senior citizens group that maintained Hartshorne Senior citizen Park behind my house that was quite the show case.
Anyway i decided to showcase my art on blogs along with the photos of the wildlife foliage and work pictures and many of the Open Space.
The whole time i was Over there and after while maintaining some along with the city of the now Park. I Started writhing Songs, Father Leonard had taught me its never to old to start a hobby. I started Putting my Songs with my art and photo's on blogs and making videos for YouTube. even though my son And Daughter Play the guitar and sing god bless them both they didn't have the time or resources to produce my songs. So I forced myself to sing them when I could, because i am a Throat and neck cancer survivor I've had Radiation and My teeth removed. Some days i cannot sing at all other days it strained but i love to wright songs. I sing about nature and my philosophy on life, i usually tell a story. or they might be related to my American Indian heritage or the Open Space Or Just Some Fun little ditty. I been writing for a few years now i guess and now mix the Songs Using Mixcraft to put some instruments to them because i am not a Musician and i not a singer I am a naive Artist In the strictest sense of the word. My stuff is simple. like me. It has its own style its sort of alternative soft Rock and easy listening with and experimental twist. I love doing it and want to continue, I have around a hundred Songs, but I need fans and the only way I know if there is a market for my stuff is to get it out there. so if you Like it please listen and support me by becoming a fan. I with be putting a fan box and everything related to my Music shortly. Google My Name "Kevin Lajiness" Or "KevinLajiness" and I'm all over the web but my home page is at http://www.reverbnation.com/kevinlajiness
PS The Open Space will all ways be a field of dreams for me that is where i dreamed up my Songs. Kevin Lajiness
