Inside the Music
Center and Conservatory, Dave has fun singing and
playing with his pals. |

A little cowboy listens up. |

Music to take home and enjoy
with her friends brings a smile to a pretty face. |

Here's Dave being
goofy at his niece's wedding. How would you like
an uncle who acts like this? |

Dave sings songs from his new CD, Teaspoon at
a Time, for the first time in public, at the

Riddle This...
What can be made by many different things,
can be many different shapes or sizes,
created for various reasons,
and can shrink or grow with time?

Riddle This...
What is the only thing that you can put into a bucket that will make it lighter?

|
| Dave is thinking to himself, "Now which one of these
little white and black buttons am I supposed
to press?" And look at that shirt. I wonder if his mother dresses
him? |

 |
| After the show, it's everybody
on stage to get silly and goof around. Goof around
yourself by pointing to the picture. |

STRETCHIN’ THE TRUTH
words and music by Dave Kinnoin
©1993 Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
I was doin’ a little fishin’ at my favorite fishin’ hole.
Just me and the sky and the pond and my eye on my fishin’ pole.
Then, all of a sudden, wham! I felt a tug, and that tug was strong!
The fish I reeled in had to have been… ten feet long!
(Ten feet long? Hmmm…)
chorus:
Could it be you’re stretchin’ the truth a little bit?
I don’t think I can trust you as far as I can spit.
I do believe you’re havin’ an exaggeration fit.
Could it be you’re stretchin’ the truth a little bit?
verse two:
I was havin’ a little footrace with a very fast friend of mine.
We ran like the wind as both of us grinned at that finish line.
Then, all of a sudden, vroom! I threw my legs into “super power”!
I leaped to the lead and won at a speed of… ninety miles an hour!
(Ninety miles an hour? Hmmm…)
(repeat chorus)
|
bridge:
We are not suggesting you’re a liar.
Oh, that would be an awful thing to say.
May we simply advise you it may not be wise to
Get quite so carried away?
(repeat chorus)
spoken interlude
I myself would never endeavor to cleverly re-write history so as to make my words and deeds more remarkable than they already are. To do so would only diminish my role as a key player in the human drama, someone whose magnificent skills are in such demand, I hardly know which multi-million dollar deal to sign next.
(Multi-million dollar deal? Hmmm…)
(repeat chorus)
