    Thanks to my brother Sal D’Agnillo, who left me his black Fender Stratocaster. It is the electric guitar on this album. Pretty sure he’d be
    pleased with the way Jim played it.
    Thanks to Michael Camp, Bob Cicchini, Dana Cooper, Lisa Galperin,
    Whit Hill, Joel Mabus, Karen Mal, Joyce Maynard, David Massengill,
    Laurie McClain, Buddy Mondlock, Chuck Pfarrer, Michael Smith, Mark
    Stuart, Natalia Zuckerman, for suggesting these songs. Thanks to
    Suzanne for permission to do a little “Da da da duh, doo da-doo doo…”

lyrics

Smoke Alarm

Smoke Alarm, smoke alarm
Do you smell any smoke?
Do you work? I don’t mean to poke (but)
Will you not warn me, save my possessions?

Smoke Alarm, smoke alarm
When will your battery die?
Is it dead? Do you have one inside you?
Will you alarm me with your confession?

And all I have to do is
Push a button, push a button
Stand up on the bed and
Push a button

Smoke Alarm, smoke alarm
Will you make any noise?
Will you squawk, will you bring on the boys
Down at the station drinking from a thermos?

Smoke Alarm, smoke alarm
Have you saved anyone?
Did they test you; did they probe you just for fun?
Hoping to find true reassurance

And all I have to do is
Push a button, push a button
Stand up on the bed

John D. Lamb Detroit, Michigan

Lamb spins a tale of love and woe full of true irony and forlorn humor…Lamb has given us a slice of life in which we find common ground, but is anything but commonplace…
