don't drink the water

[glavoy]

Watched your show today. As usual it was great. Where did you find the song "Don't drink the Water". I would like to get the lyrics and music to include with our small band. We play for free and this would be a good senior center song.

thank you. glavoy

Hi G,
Sorry to say the song has never been published or even "really" recorded.
I wrote the song in about 10 minutes on the way home from one of the Nicaragua exploratory trips, took it over to my friend Swanny and within about a half an hour he worked out a progression and recorded the first take.
I don't even have a copy! We had to dig through Swannies hard drive to find it, and he emailed it to the studio where I edit.
best,
L

Larry,

How can I get a copy of this tune? I loved the show on your hunt for HUGE tarpon, and about fell off the couch laughing when I heard that song at the end. You are a totally hardcore dude. We think we are pretty nutty on our Canadian fishing trips to the bush, but you take the cake!
