Michael Locke - Cost of Lovin'

Published 2023-10-29
Your cost of loving's high
And it's so hard to make ends meet.
Your cost of loving's high
And it's so hard to make ends meet.
My heart's making promises, baby
Lord, I know my soul just can't keep.
And if I could buy you for a song
I'd turn up the sunburst & the gold,
But the old man at the pawn shop said
It wouldn't satisfy your soul.
Your cost of loving's high
And it's so hard to make ends meet.
Now I'm all alone with these six strings baby,
Can't afford to keep you lovin' me.
[Solo]
I had to mortgage my true lovin'
Just to pay your kind of rent.
You charge me by the hour baby,
Till you used up my last cent.
Your cost of loving's high
And it's so hard to make ends meet.
My heart's so broke baby,
I can't afford another heartbeat.
Woah no, no way.
C'mon baby.
Michael Locke was raised in South Florida and began playing guitar when he was seven. Michael’s father was a jazz aficionado and saturated Michael with the genius of artists such as Lester Young, Count Basie, Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Stitt and, Michael’s mentors – Ira Sullivan and Joe Diorio. Michael attended the University of Miami, majoring in Jazz Guitar. But then he heard the Blues! He found that in Blues music he could completely and freely express himself. He moved to San Francisco in the early 90’s and fell under the tutelage of his now close friend and longtime bluesman, Johnny Nitro. Thanks to Johnny’s encouragement, Michael developed his own style and set off on his own to front an electric blues trio.

Former diver Jason, shout out from the diving training at Crystal Palace so long ago. Kind regards also to Mike Fibbens, my special swim mentor at the Stanford World Swimming Masters in 2006. The blues bring it all flooding back. Great times, good memories, Alex in Norway.
