about

Edgewise (2008) I did a sojourn near Tucson, Arizona in 2004 and this song reflects that.

lyrics

Edgewise
Skylarking with angels, sun-fishing for fun,
Miner Forty-Niner where humming birds hum,
Moonshining the apple pressed in the mind’s eye,
Down Antelope Freeway, far as the crow flies.

The cat got my tongue, now I’m in the dumb show,
Painting the desert a quicksilver glow,
Borrowed a tongue from the coyote song,
Red Rover doggerel rhymes with so-long.

Skulduggery with a bone to pick over
Bruised on the heel lately, got to get sober
Wind-snapping melody down in the valley
Bush-whacked by monsoon, I’m happy go lucky.

In the dell now where the sheep safely graze,
There in the skyway sweet grace will amaze,
Climbed up a tree, found a nest with a bird in
Dumb struck by lightning, I can’t get a word in...

about

Steve Jobe Providence, Rhode Island

Born in 1955 in Mt. Vernon Ohio, the same hometown as Daniel Decatur Emmett, the composer of the song, “Dixie.” I settled into RI for good in 1984 and began composing soon after. I have a respectable body of work: two operas, a couple of concertos both commissioned, a cantata that was commissioned, a string quartet that won an award in 2006.
