Aaron the Composer

Aaron began composing songs before he could talk. He'd demonstrate his compositions by playing the drum pattern, anywhere he could -- well, anywhere he could that would give him the sound he wanted. He is very particular about having the right sound from his drums. He wants a guitar. Or a violin. Or a piano. We'll take donations for instruments and lessons!

Once Aaron began talking, he started to identify his compositions. The first named composition was "The Snowblower Song," in honor of Aaron's favorite gas-powered device. Then there was "The Goodbye Song," which made its debut during a doctor's appointment. No commentary on the doctor, he likes the doctor. Next, Aaron came up with a seasonal classic, "When You Was a Baseball Player." It disappeared sometime around the time of Luis Sojo's base hit. And, finally, Aaron came up with his first full-length effort, the 6-verse epic, "I Love Dragon Tales." I am reproducing the lyrics below. Aaron demands correct audience behavior for his performances, so read politely, please. "I Love Dragon Tales" is off the charts now, replaced by newer songs that have no names. But this was the first one, so here it is.
