| On a Roll On a Roll |

Luke's motorized wheelchair arrived the day before his fifth birthday and he has been on a roll ever since. In October of 2015, Luke and I were in Zion, IL at the Children's Music Network annual conference. We went to workshops, sang at the Round Robin, and enjoyed meeting others who enjoy singing with children. One of the friends we met that weekend was Philadelphia based teacher, composer, director and Emmy Award winner: Andrea Green. We had attended a workshop where she shared information about the documentary of her original musical: "On the Other Side of the Fence." During the workshop, she invited Luke to play piano with her. He was grinning ear to ear. At breakfast on Sunday morning she and Luke were telling jokes to each other and at one point she laughed and he said, "I'm on a roll." I wrote this song on the plane ride home. |
On A Roll by Tim Seston I’m on a roll I’m the star on the stage playing tambourine I’m on a roll down the hill by the river where the grass is green I’m on a roll. Not a bagel or a muffin or a buttered scone I’m on a roll in my chair on adventures like a rolling stone First stop on tour, down on Cape Cod We’ll catch some fish with my new rod. Cook up a feast, the fire’s bright We’ll sing my song, all day and night. Next stop on tour New York, New York In Chinatown eat Mu Shu Pork Play Central Park a nice big crowd We’ll rock and roll and roll and roll and roll . . . but not too loud Third stop on tour the Liberty Bell The band’s warmed up and gives them, Hello Philadelphia Here’s what I crave, if you so please Come sing my song, eat steak and cheese Last stop on tour, the White House lawn We’ll camp out all night and sing ‘til dawn Eat brunch, talk politics, but that’s not all One final concert out on the Mall |
