"There are people who pass through our lives who we wish we would have gotten to know better," asserts Dexter Story about 'Willie Jones,' his latest music upload and an intimate testimony about his godfather. "These people sometimes begin to mean more to us as we grow older." 'Willie Jones' is the fifth song demo offering from Story and his most original expression to date. The heartfelt track includes a vocal performance by the multi-talented Dexter Story and is a fully-produced demo exclusive. Download now as it may not appear on the forthcoming Carlos Nino-produced album release.
lyrics
Willie Jones
Kindhearted small town gentleman
6 foot 2 with construction hands
Monroe, Georgia bred to Cali sand
Roomed with Dad until Mom's demands
Godfather whereabouts unknown
Someone find Mr. Willie Jones
Stationed 6 years in Germany
A worldly man who knew chivalry
Would do more for others than for himself
Gave the shirt off his back if nothing else
Godfather whereabouts unknown
Someone please find Willie Jones
Uncle Willie had a slow demise
Dad said he seemed to have lost his will to rise
Got caught up with the LA vile
Soon found lifeless in a ghetto pile
Godfather whereabouts are clear
Willie Jones is an angel near
Kindhearted small town gentleman
6 foot 2 with construction hands
Monroe, Georgia bred to Cali sand
Roomed with Dad until Mom's demands
Godfather whereabouts unknown
Someone find Mr. Willie Jones
Stationed 6 years in Germany
A worldly man who knew chivalry
Would do more for others than for himself
Gave the shirt off his back if nothing else
Godfather whereabouts unknown
Someone please find Willie Jones
Uncle Willie had a slow demise
Dad said he seemed to have lost his will to rise
Got caught up with the LA vile
Soon found lifeless in a ghetto pile
Godfather whereabouts are clear
Willie Jones is an angel near

These songs are selections from a year-long writing project inspired by playright Suzan-Lori Parks. Ms. Parks wrote one play per day in 2002. I have attempted the same with music. Thank you for your support. I am grateful.
