“IN THE LION’S DEN”
HEADED WESTBOUND ON THE TURNPIKE
CLIMBING UP THOSE HILLS
THE BERKSHIRES NEVER EVER FAIL
TO REMEDY MY ILLS
THEY ALWAYS WILL
LIKE A MAGIC PILL
AS I ROLLED RIGHT INTO STOCKBRIDGE
FOUND A PLACE TO PARK
THEN STEPPED INTO A BASEMENT ROOM
THAT LIGHTS UP AFTER DARK
IT ALWAYS DOES
GOT A REAL NICE BUZZ
AND NOW IT’S TIME TO PLAY SOME MUSIC WITH MY FRIENDS
IN THE LION’S DEN
WELL, THERE’S REGULARS AND TRAVELERS
TOGETHER BY SOME CHANCE
SOMETIMES THE FOLKS JUST WANNA LISTEN
OTHER TIMES THEY’LL DANCE
AND LAUGH AND SING
A FAMILIAR RING
SO I HOPE TO GOD THOSE NIGHTS’LL NEVER END
IN THE LION’S DEN
AND IT’S BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE I STARTED WAY BACK WHEN
IN THE LION’S DEN
NOW THERE’S GOTTA BE A MILLION BARS
THROUGHOUT THE USA
BUT NOT TOO MANY OF ‘EM GOT A VIBE LIKE THIS TODAY
THE FAITHFUL OF THE DEN
SHINING ALL THAT LOVING LIGHT EVERY NIGHT
SO ANYTIME YOUR DAY’S BEEN GOOD
MAYBE IT WAS BAD
IT’S KINDA LIKE A SECOND HOME
NO BETTER PLACE TO ADD
A FEW MORE FRIENDS
IN THE LION’S DEN

Glad you like it. And you certainly know the Den magic as well.
Thanks for the listen.

Wow! Another beautifully crafted song. Love the harmonies. The lyrics paint the lovely scene of the area and “The Den.” Well done bro. So glad the music just flows through you.
Such a great song ! Took me right there I have enjoyed all the times I have been there ! Thanks for the continued entertainment
Sweet sound. Tom It has that Berkshire swing
Hey Carole,
It definitely took a while for that music to flow. We recorded it twice, and liked this one better. Thanks for the listen and comment, I’ll be calling soon.
Tom
Hey Maureen,
I’m glad you’ve experienced The Den. Whatever is going on has always been very cool, no doubt.
Thanks kindly,
Tom
Hey Mike,
Long time no hear. Hope all is well in da Northland.
We really worked hard getting that Berkshire swing thing down.
Thanks,
Tom
This is a fine one, Tom. Sounds like life

Hey Tom, very nice toon, I love the personal stuff. It gives you such a beautiful sense of our “Homeland” and what it feels like to love a place.
Hey Tom, very nice, I love the personal stuff. It gives you such a great sense of your “Homeland”, and what it’s like to love a place.
Hey Stosh,
I do it solo so far at The Den. To play it 3 piece, we need to rehearse it for sure.
Tanx for the feedback.
Tom
Hey Sammy,
Yeah, I like to get personal, but hopefully this expands and rings true for a lot of folks who like special places of music.
Thanks very much for the article and your thoughts.
Tom
NICE TOM
Hey Shawn,
Thanks for the listen and comment. A little long, though.
Tom
Tom, starting with Lion’s Den, I spent my morning listening to som of your collection here. Made for a great Sunday morning! Time to pull out my guitar! Great talking with you last night!
Rob
Hey Rob,
Glad you heard this tune, and others. Spend some time from time to time with them…they were written over the last decade.
It was good chtting last night.
Thanks,
Tom
Nice song, Tom. We were in Stockbridge last weekend, visiting TurnPark and social distancing. It seemed so odd to see the streets of Stockbridge so empty, and the Red Lion doing take-out orders from the porch.
Hey Peter,
I hope all is well with you. Maybe I’ll see you sometime soon at Fort Hill, or In The Lion’s Den. To hear the song.
Thanks,
Tom
Tom
A good stepper. I could see myself dancing across the Stockbridge Inn porch toward the Den. Of course, no one else of the porch is amused.
Mike
Hey MP,
Hope all is well in the Northland.
Not a lot of dancing anywhere at the Red Lion these days. Not sure when and if….
Thank you, ma man,
Tom
Outstanding job Tom! It’s my favorite place to play as well!
Hey Gary,
I sure hope we get back there sometime soon. Probably the tightest quarters I play in, but that’s the charm, ain’t it?
Thanks for your comment, and here’s to our return.
Tom
