Job – original music – by Tom Meny

Just a little disclaimer… THIS IS JUST A SONG! It has nothing to do with my current WONDERFUL job, extremely friendly coworkers and the best boss this side of the river! :)

My most influential albums….

Although there are probably a hundred albums in between, here is a listing of the albums that got the most playing time in my life…

When I look back, some of these are kind of questionable… but I won’t make any apologies..

(If you’re a guitar player, and haven’t heard either Monte Montgomery album, go out and get one)

More evidence on why Craig James should be fired…. and then shot.

I am of the opinion that Craig James, ESPN analyst and former destroyer of the SMU Mustangs college football team (and current destroyer of the Texas Tech Football Program) should not only be fired, but also beaten with a hose and later electrocuted on a pay-per-view broadcast. His son should then be castrated so the world can be assured that neither one of these two ass clowns can ever reproduce again. They’ve already destroyed 2 Texas football programs… lets not let them do it again.

Here’s just a little more evidence showing that Leach was bamboozled…

I Had it All – original music by Tom Meny

The BEST place to eat in Vegas after midnight….

It’s 3am… you just placed 3rd at the stratosphere’s midnight tournament… you’re starving… what do you do? You go here:

This place has been around forever. I found out about it because I saw it in that god-awful movie Lucky You. But, it’s a regular stop for me when I am in town. I do enjoy playing in that midnight Stratosphere tournament.. mostly because I have a high percentage of getting paid out at the end of it.. .however it is a horrible tourny structure. When it’s done, I always go to the White Cross pharmacy because of this great diner. The cook is a Russian guy, and then there’s always another guy that answers the phone and takes delivery orders. But, this is the only place I know of where you can get fried pork chops and eggs at 4am. So, it’s a definite favorite.

Melaina Page

Melaina, here’s some of the demo stuff… none are professionally recorded or fully produced as of yet…

These are just a few of the songs I’m currently writing…. i repeated the verses on some of these because they’re still in progress

John Mayer – Austin, TX – 3/8/2010

John Mayer played a fantastic show at the Erwin Center on March 8, 2010. I was fortunate enough to have 7th row tickets. This was my third time seeing a Mayer show and I’d say this was probably the best. The show seemed short but clocked in at about an hour and a half. He played many of the songs off of the new Battle Studies Album but threw in some favorites from the past.

The set was incredible. A very nice laser light/projection show behind the band provided some interesting effects as well as some video footage. The PA was loud but clear and clean. Unlike much of the video footage I’ve seen on YouTube, he didn’t do a lot of talking but there was some good banter. Highlights of the show were definitely “Assassin” and a great rendition of “Aint No Sunshine”.  Legendary drummer Steve Jordan also pounded out a memorable and masterful solo.

The Weary Kind – cover by Tom Meny


Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind

You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don’t feel like home anymore

And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your body aches…
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same

Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
and it doesn’t forget
the highway that calls for your heart inside

And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your lovers won’t kiss…
It’s too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world

Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
