Story Behind The Song
took my tracks to producer Wei-En Hsu, who recorded my guitars, vocals, more tracks, final mixed with my coffee-stir intro. Mastered by Ryan Schwabe who "sweetened" all 11 songs. "Wayne" Hsu added the special "old school pop" flavors to my "funky-folk alt" in a very current way!

Lyrics
1} Salt In My Coffee
©2010 Larry Saklad
I'm not gonna pour salt in my coffee
not gonna sprinkle sugar on my steak
Yes, I'm gonna savor every one of these flavors
gonna embrace all that's on my plate
But with her I stumble down again
playing some clown
And I don't wanna, don't wanna be down now
All of the shadows that were clouding my thinking
putting my attention on my weakened state
If love is letting go, I finally surrender
Now every moment is a fresh clean slate
But with her I stumble down again
playing some clown
And I don't wanna, don't wanna be down now,
don't wanna be down now
Free to be Your witness
windblown on a mountain peak
letting our song take wing
All that I learned about the law of attraction
we're gonna find just what we seek
So tired of thinking "can't get no satisfaction"
and no more questions if the hill's too steep
But with her I stumble down again
playing some clown
And I don't wanna, don't wanna be, no I don't wanna, don't wanna be
Don't wanna be down now, don't wanna be down now
