Wake Up!
Wake Up C2016-2026
Written by Rick Horvath & Jeremy Prostka

V1
Sitting in the middle
Laying out time for the week
Waiting for the band to start
Or something else to begin
It’s been slow at the bar but I
I’m – playing at mine tonight
Just play one like the country
Tune that’s on tonight
V2
One day I’ll give it up
And just do more to work
And so with all the trade-offs
Between the bottle and friends
Need something to keep ’em
Stopping some of the shakin’ now
Ch1
I want to wake up
With my senses on the ceiling
Like my mind’s made up
No worries, get the meaning?
I want to wake up
Lord – know I miss the feeling!
Reach into the distance
On a blameless eve
I want to wake up!
V3
Today I’ve given up
Cloudiness still exists
Been with me forever
Too long to not resist
Any time of the week
I can’t get that relief
Need – something to balance the feelin’
V4
Seed accede I’m comin’
Growing in time with no meaning
If you could feel what I’m feelin’
Knowing at times I’m feeling down
Ch2
I want to wake up
With my senses on the ceiling
Like my mind’s made up
No worries, and a meaning
And when I wake up maybe
I’m – back in a world believing
Back at a time I knew
A world that I’m now feelin’
String Solo
Keep me goin’ by
Givin’ me somethin’
Keep me goin’
Give me somethin’ to believe in
Ch3
I want to wake up
With my senses on the ceiling
Like my mind’s made up
No worries, and a meaning
I want to wake up
With my nose up toward the ceiling
You just tell me it’s on work time
It’s all the time it’s on the battle line – say
I want to wake up
I want to wake up – yeah
I want to wake up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Wally and the Paupacks interview on Wally Life
On July 15 Noodles (me) and Jeremy P. from Wally and the Paupacks sat down with the producers of Wally Life, a local cable show. We discussed the origins of our band and our influence on the NEPA lake region.
It’s amazing how 4 guys from New York found each other in the Poconos and created an amazing Jam/Original band.
Shout outs to my fellow Wallys:
Jeremy P
Rob Xtd
Tom “Fred Garvin” West (RIP)
Wallette – for coming up with our name.

I’m Running Late
Once I got ahold of a Wurlitzer piano, it inspired me to create some new ideas. This is one of those first ideas. Expect an album later in 2026 (I hope 😆)
Oh, can anyone tell how the solo was performed? What instrument? What possible effects? No one has figured it out yet!
I want to make a video showing how it was accomplished. Need more hours in the day!
PaLive!
My return to PaLive! this afternoon was a blast. Here are some videos of the performances of Alliea and Light Of Dawn.
Thank you again to Christopher Bohinski & Taminique Blackwell for inviting me back!

February Upcoming Shows / Special Events
In my entire life, I have never seen this much snow. 18″ fell in the Poconos and winter weather started extra early in December!
Bring on the spring soon, Mother Nature! I know you’re angered as my song Why Oh Why states (and we all know why, right?)
We move ahead with upcoming shows and special events.
Want to wish our pup Hunter a Happy Birthday (Feb 4th) (he’ll never read this).
Hoping to see some familiar faces as Green River returns to Penn’s Peak this Saturday Feb. 7. Tickets are still available HERE
