Free Friday (“FL&R”) – August 18 - Ron Gallo

     Free and Legal Downloads? Yes, at least temporarily. Bands often temporarily permit free downloads of their releases.  The end of an offer may be based on the expiration of a set period of time or on a limited number of downloads.  But at least for now, here is a song that qualifies as Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) downloads.
     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one FL&R song each Friday. 
     Ron Gallo tells his tale of relationship worry in almost equal portions of Blues, Garage and Soulful Rock. We are particularly fond of the Bluesy Kaleo-like guitar riff that periodically jumps into “Young Lady, You're Scaring Me.” The song is one of eleven tracks on the album entitled “Heavy Meta.”

     Gallo is based in Nashville. According to the oddly ended credits for “Young Lady, You’re Scaring Me,” the contributors are Ron Gallo (lead vocals, guitar), Joe Bisirri: (backing vocals, guitar), Jerry Bernhardt (bass), Dom Billett (drums), Carl Bahner (percussion), and Dylan Sevey (nothing). 

     Ron Gallo will visit San Francisco on October 20. He will open for Black Angels at historical The Fillmore. For ticket information, CLICK HERE.

Lyrics of “Young Lady, You're Scaring Me” by Ron Gallo
Let’s get a house, you and me and your twelve cats
We’ll put mirrors on the ceiling
We’ll have a bunk bed by the bath

You’ll line my mattress with nails
One for every time something psycho came out of your mouth
Your cavern eyes are preying
Your scarlet lips half saying
A sales pitch for the circus in your mind

Young lady, you’re scaring me
Young lady, you’re scaring me

Dumbbell right to the temple
Carry me to your shrine
Dedicated to the prince of the last of your nine lives

She waited in the darkest corner all night
Until I closed up shop
I turned out the lights

Then she begged for me to drive her home
I thought about the Kensington Strangler
As I was about to say “NO”

When we pulled up to her bleeding dollhouse
She said, “Park behind the hearse.”
I said, “No need. Get out and take your purse.”

Young lady, you’re scaring me
Young lady, you’re scaring me

Remember that time you wrote me two hundred letters
Never once to a single reply?
Remember they all referenced a love that wasn’t real?
Considering we talked maybe one or two times

Young lady, you’re scaring me
Young lady, you’re scaring me
