about

Maggie is a friend of Nickel & Dime and a loyal supporter of the JP Music Festival as fan, attendee, volunteer. Her Mom n Dad asked Robby and me to write her a song for her birthday. This is that song. I would add that Robby's solo is as fine and heartfelt as they come. We 2 Hep Cats are so proud of this tune.

lyrics

MAGGIE

maggie, dear maggie
what a fine girl you are
what a sister to your brother
what a daughter
to your father + your mother
oh maggie, dear maggie
my friend

you bring the sun
to a cold heart
to everyone
your smile
hangs the moon
+ your hug
calms the water
calms the water

you are a pal
right away
poetry on Facebook
messages like music
w notes i can’t explain
notes i can’t explain

you love your dog (Bouki!)
+ you love yr cats (Kiki n Ozzy!)
you love your street
+ the house ya live in
when it’s rainin’

solo

maggie, dear maggie
what a fine girl you are
maggie, dear maggie
my friend
happy birthday
