Thank you for letting me join your group! I want to work with T. Boone Pickens and and others that have the same ideas about our energy future. Its time to help Mr. T. Boone Pickens and push the plan. As Americans, we all need to come together and secure the future of energy for the United States of America. I may be a Conservative Republican, but we need to join not as republicans or democrats, but as Americans to protect the very soil and our freedoms that were given by God. We must be strong and positive not weak and negative in our nature as Americans and stand in defense, and energy independence is the first step in doing so. We must listen to Mr. Pickens and I will to everything in my power to help push the Pickens Plan and to push for energy security. Life is short, therefore, lets make it a great life while we are here for our families! Let's kick the tires and light the fires!

Thank you
God Bless
Charley* Austin

Hi All, I have a song I'd like to record with some singers and pickers. See if this "Poem" suits your style and let me know what melodies you come up with. I have my own, but that isn't fair. It should be what the group wants... So read and start looking for the intuitive melodies to match. Note:some syncopations will be a little awkward, but follow the comas and you should stay on track. I am also sending this to the other musician's group for approval and their efforts. It is a country waltz or two step.

Title : "We Need the Wind to Survive" by Gregor Smith
08-16-08

In West Oklahoma, there's prime farming land, And
winds blow the grainfields, for sunlight is King.
But hard times are coming, and we need that Gol-den ring...(pause)
And we need the winds to survive..
(Chorus -1) We need the winds, blowing down the plains, and
we need the fresh air and clear flowing streams; And we need
the Woodlands to build our new lives, But, we need the wind to survive.
Oh, I stopped yesterday at a gas station pump; I jumped at the price, thinkin' I was a chump! Then I saw this guy drive by, with narry a care, and wondered just how he got there...
Well, the next day I saw him, workin' in a field, so I drove up and asked him, 'bout his brand-new wheels; And He told me a story, I scarce could believe! He said that his car ran, almost for free!
On clean runnin' Elec-tri-city!
(Chorus-2) Oh, we need the wind, blowing down the plains, and we need the fresh air and clean crystal streams; And we need the freedom from that foreign oil, to get back to working the soil.
And we need the wind to survive, Yeah! We need the wind to survive.
So he went on and told me, he was part of a Plan. To build Oklahoma's, Wind turbine lands. Clear across the country, Picken's Plan can win, for farmers and ranchers and homes.
So join us and see what we have for this land, We all want
the freedom, from trouble and pain. And we have the chance to,
grow your own dreams, and teach our dear nation again!
For we need something, more than the wind; We need to help,
our own people win; And if you agree friend, welcome on in, for we need the wind to survive, Yeah! We need the wind to survive.
(Chorus-3)
We need the wind, soaring down the plains; We need the
sunshine to solarize our homes.
And we'll use tech-nology, to build our new homes, but
we need the wind to survive, Yeah! We need the wind to survive...
(Final thought)
We need the winds, blowin' down the plains, we need the fresh air and clean crystal streams; And we need the woodlands to build us new lives, But we need the wind to survive, Oh yeah, we need the wind to survive...(fade out) ...
