Just North of Yesterday
Here's a quick sketch I did today of the mysterious bird that I recorded on my phone for my song Just North of Yesterday. My eyesight these days is not the best so I could not see him clearly on top of my Saguaro bellowing out this song. A friend of mine Joy came over and had this app on her phone that can name any bird by a song sample. So she played Just North of Yesterday. Out popped Cactus Wren, she said that doesn't sound like a Cactus Wren. After she left I looked up everything about them, our state bird! It was indeed a male Cactus Wren with a call that "marks his territory" so he wants credit on the song now ha ha...well alright then! Thanks to the Planetary Group for helping promote my album, this was their favorite...

Can you come out and play
Meet me just north of yesterday, just north of yesterday
When minutes have been forsaken
It’s time that I awaken
Help me find my way
Just north of yesterday
Send me a love letter in sound
You know where I can be found
It’s where I long to stay
Just north of yesterday
My vignettes seldom agree
But this time they all want to be
Somewhere lovely they say
Just north of yesterday
Random tales become an autobiography
All the things that made me
Are on full display
Just north of yesterday
Somehow I will cope
I’ll hold on
It’s your message of hope
Just make sure there’s no delay
Just north of yesterday
