Sweet Classic High Top Shoes (funky song of the day)

Chris Cates — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 18:29:19 +0000

Let’s make it funky since it’s Friday. Just got home from Memphis, so I’m feeling a little groovy like that.

Restless Love (song of the day)

Chris Cates — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 15:14:15 +0000

Let’s start the week off with a ‘Carolina Song’. This was my high school hit called “Falling Star” that got rewritten for my Carolina Songs album. Thanks for listening!

Listen to all of “Carolina Songs” here!

Promenade a Pied (song of the day)

Chris Cates — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 14:22:12 +0000

I’ll keep it old school with my song posts. This one is also from the Parakeet Nelson days written one day at work at Schoenen Pools. Probably after eating some Hursey’s BBQ, which was my normal daily routine at the time. Thanks for listening!

New Sport for Primetime (song of the day)

Chris Cates — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:03:57 +0000

This used to be a crowd favorite in the Parakeet Nelson days. I remember many a night with John Wayne Tuggle ripping a solo or two. This was recorded live with eight piece band in the studio.

Black Sheep in the Family (song of the day)

Chris Cates — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:26:40 +0000

Are you the black sheep in your family?

If You’re Lucky Enough (song of the day)

Chris Cates — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 19:47:09 +0000

A few random snow flakes falling in Atlanta and I’m wondering where the last year has gone. And I’m wondering where the next year is going?

Cyber Monday Song

Chris Cates — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:19:57 +0000

Folks are lining up at all the internet stores today for Cyber Monday. Probably a little more my speed in the whole Christmas deals thing. I’m probably more likely to write a song about the scenario, like I did here. Thanks for listening!

Paradigm Shifting (song of the day)

Chris Cates — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 17:15:57 +0000

What a great Thanksgiving with the family it was. We cleaned out the attic a little bit, remembered the past and moved ourselves solidly into the future with a little less baggage. Time for a new paradigm shift. This used to be my favorite song to play back in the Parakeet Nelson days. This recording has a great trumpet solo by Mike Elam and also features my first collaboration with Dwayne Wallace and Winslow Willard. Thanks for listening!

Black Friday Song

Chris Cates — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:07:37 +0000

I’m a little bit late posting this song today, not very Black Friday of me. This song pretty much sums up the spirit of the season. Thanks for listening!

lyrics

What if Time Doesn’t Exist (song of the day)

Chris Cates — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:48:25 +0000

Today’s song of the day is a slightly philosophical one. Thanks for listening!
