Local Singer/songwriter to perform Friday concert
Wed, Aug. 27 2008
By Charlene Scott Daily Globe Posted Aug 27, 2008 @ 11:01 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODGE CITY — Max Bunyan looks like Burl Ives or a Santa Claus with his pearly white beard, rotund figure, and jolly, smiling face. But when this Dodge City hometown boy sings, he sounds like an angel.

Bunyan will share his songwriting and singing talents from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at the Carnegie Center for the Arts’ free Final Friday Art is Ageless concert.

Shortly after retiring in 2005 as executive director of Santa Fe Trail Community Corrections, Bunyan released his first CD, “Follow Your Heart.” Since then, he has written 400 songs in a variety of genres and hopes to complete his sixth CD, “Mercy and Grace,” by the end of the year.

“One of the biggest changes in my career is finding a freedom to be the musical me that God created me to be,” said Bunyan, who writes and performs folk, cowboy, gospel, smooth jazz, Jesus jazz, country, New American patriot love songs, novelty/fun songs and tribute songs “for the special people who have touched my life, like my wife, Claudia.”

Another of those "special people" is his 88-year-old mother, Maxine Beadle, a Good Samaritan Center resident who played “boogie-woogie” on the piano when Bunyan was growing up.

“I call her my business manager,” Bunyan said. “Mom gave me some good advice. She said, ‘Do lots of fun songs and love songs,’ so that’s what I’ve put together for my Carnegie concert that I’m calling ‘Love and Laughter… From My Heart.’”

Bunyan’s first memory of singing was “Sweet and Low, Winds of the Western Sea” in third grade at Sunnyside Elementary School. “That was my musical awakening,” he said. “The lights came on, and I realized that I loved music. The notes resonated in my spirit.”

Bunyan has performed since then on KGNO radio programs, the TV show “Horizons of Faith” in Miami, Fla. and in more than 700 performances of the Seventh U.S. Army Soldiers Chorus in Europe.

He also has sung at the Kansas Wheat House in Cimarron, the Meade County Historical Society, Sawlogs & Strings summer concerts, Busters in Sun City and the Holiday Inn in Joplin, Mo.

“I’m especially proud of my song about Greensburg (from the CD “Here and Now”),” said Bunyan. “It went all the way to number two on the SoundClick music charts.”

Bunyan also has been invited to preach and sing at several churches: United Methodist at Mullinville for 80 women survivors of the Greensburg tornado; the Church of God in Ashland; Victory Life Fellowship and Christ the King Lutheran, both in Dodge City; and First Christian in Cimarron, where he ministered in music to the Christian Bikers Association.

“I dedicated my song, ‘Rolling Thunder,’ to Gary Mills, president of the Thunder of the Plains Christian Motorcycle Association Chapter from Ashland, and to all the Christian bikers who were there that Sunday,” he said.

“I wrote a song ‘Most of All’ for my musical friend, Barry Ward, who has moved to Colorado. One line goes, ‘I will miss my friends on the Kansas prairies most of all’ to the central point: ‘I must follow God’s call most of all.’”

Bunyan’s CDs “Follow Your Heart” and “Songs for Soldiers and People Who Love Them” are on Wal-Mart’s worldwide online music store.

His music also is distributed online by CD Baby to Apple iTunes and other outlets.

Locally, his CDs are available at Hastings, Briar & Hale Music, Trails West, Christian Book House and the chiropractic office of Dr. Scott Fischer.

“I write my songs from my experience,” Bunyan said. “My songs ‘The Dade County Jail (parts one and two)’ are about my experiences as an officer at the Dade County Jail in Miami from 1980 to 1992.

“Sam Ormes created and directed the ICTV inmate correctional TV network for 27 years, and it was in its early stages when I was there. Three years ago, I reconnected with Sam, and I’m proud to say they used my songs ‘Dade County Jail’ for their Bible Study theme song every Thursday.”

"Will There Be Motorcycles in Heaven?"
Sun, Jul. 27 2008
I don't know....But, I really hope so. (One of the new songs that I sang today)

Thank you Pastor David Johnson of The First Christian Church in Cimarron, Kansas for having me sing at your annual "Biker" Sunday.

There were Harley-Davidsons, Hondas, Suzuki's, and a lot of other motorcycles this morning.

It was also great seeing my good friend, Gary Mills (President of CMA Chapter "Thunder on the Plains/Ashland, Kansas) who shared about the great ministries of the Christian Motorcyclist Association.

"Thunder" is also a new song that I sang this morning and is dedicated to Gary Mills and all of the CMA riders.

"Follow Your Heart" CD.... Stories Behind the Songs/Lyrics
Tue, Jun. 10 2008

Many of you have asked how I came to write some of the songs on my "Follow Your Heart" CD.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING RIGHT HERE ON THIS PAGE

Welcome to the "Lyrics & Stories" Section

All Lyrics/Music by Max G. Bunyan (c) 2004(BMI)

All Rights Reserved

1. Ride Cowboy Ride

This is a "Rodeo Cowboy" Song inspired by R.C. Trotter M.D. and written as a tribute to Dodge City Days; an annual event drawing 100,000 tourist to our World Famous Boot Hill and Front Street Replica, shades of Matt Dillon, Miss Kitty, Doc and Festus from the TV Classic "Gunsmoke", our Western hospitality, and a great Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association Rodeo.

Lyrics

Here he comes out of chute # 5

He's got 8 seconds just to stay alive

Ride Cowboy Ride (3x)

(2)

He's shooting for the finals, going for the gold

And a TV spot when his story is told

So Ride Cowboy Ride, Ride Cowboy Ride

Ride Cowboy Ride

*

2. I'm In Love With You

This is a love song, ocean waves, smooth Brazillian Jazz. It's a Love Song for my wife Claudia on our 38th Wedding Anniversary.

Lyrics

I could be the greatest singer since Garth Brooks

Write songs like Willie Nelson

Have Alan Jackson's looks

But, I'm in love with you

And life doesn't get any better than that!

I'm in love with you and love doesn't get any better than that!

*

3. The Ballad of Old Dodge City

There is an incredible fascination with "The Old West". The 50s and 60's spawned a variety of TV Westerns which still influence us today. I worked at the World Famous Boot Hill and Frontstreet Replica while going through high school and college. It was a lot of fun!? I hope you enjoy a glimpse of my famous home town.

Lyrics

Saddle up wrangler, this is for real

This is "How the West Was Won"

Driving longhorn cattle on the Santa Fe Trail

And packing a lightning fast gun.

We've come to a special time, We've come to a special place

We're living right now, In the middle of it all

Right here! Right now! In Old Dodge City!

*

4. A Love Song: The Kansas Cowboy Symposium

The Kansas Cowboy Symposium held in Dodge City, Kansas was a defining musical moment in my life (2004). It brought me back into the music world as a singer and a songwriter. I call it a love song, because I loved being at this special event.? This is a warm ballad with images of how our West was won.

Lyrics

They came from far and wide

Over endless prairies and the country side

In faith they made that long and lonely ride

To The Kansas Cowboy Symposium

(2)

They followed a cowboy's dream

To old Dodge City where they thought it seemed.

They could remember it best, In the heart of the West

At the Kansas Cowboy Symposium

*

5. Sunday Morning Miracles for a Cowboy

I met Jack Hannah (Sons of the San Joaquin) at the Tumbleweed Festival in Garden City, Kansas a couple of years ago. This is my special, musical prayer for him............and for you!

Lyrics

Today will you pray for a cowboy?

Because you never know just what he's going through

Today will you pray for a cowboy?

And ask God to do what only HE can do.

Sunday morning miracles for a cowboy

God?please send your unlimited supply

Sunday morning miracles for a cowboy

God keep him riding strong until he's home on high

*

6. Cowboys for The King

There are only 4 of them on stage, but, they sound like "God's Magnificent Seven".? I'm talking about Sons of the San Joaquin.? This is a special tribute song that I wrote after meeting them at the Tumbleweed Festival in Garden City, Kansas.

Lyrics

Cowboys for The King (2x)

They ride tall in the saddle, they play and sing

Sons of The San Joaquin

(2)

Cowboys for The King (2x)

They should be on TV with Larry King

Sons of The San Joaquin

Chorus

They sing a cowboy's song, They live a cowboy's dream

They value right from wrong

Sons of The San Joaquin

*

7. Pray Away

Noted author G.K. Chesterson said, "The most astonishing thing about miracles is that they happen". "Pray Away" is a song that actually came out of one of my prayer times....Just singing, crying out to God with my guitar.

Lyrics

Father, Father, thank you for today

Father, Father, hear me when I pray

And the Lord said,

"Lift your eyes toward Heaven and look for a brighter day today and Pray Away...Pray Away...Pray Away"

*

8. God's Prosperity

I went to a financial seminar recently and learned that many people barely scrape by living from paycheck to paycheck. This is a gospel folk song that came out of my reading about Jesus, and His "Feeding of the 5,000".

Lyrics

Jesus didn't wear fancy suits or drive a Cadillac car

Where ever He went, He was Heaven sent

And He never went too far

From everything that He needed, and you can plainly see

This is the beginning of God's Prosperity.

Chorus

God's Prosperity, Whoa!

There's always plenty for you and me

God's Prosperity, Whoa!

There's always plenty for you and me!

*

9. I Want Jesus to Walk With Me

Life is not easy, but this jazz vocal/guitar arrangement is for the tough times in your life.

10. I'd rather Be Singin' and Playin'

This is a novelty/fun song with some serious things between the sings and the strings. But, I hope you enjoy the fun parts.

Lyrics

I'd rather be singin' and playin'

Than put on another pound

I'd rather be singin' and playin'

Than carry this great big elephant all around town.

Lord help me take this song and apply it to myself

And practice everyword I'm sayin'

(Chorus)

I want to be a heavyweight in the music world

But not with all of these pounds.

I want to be a heavyweight in the music world

When I play my guitar, when I sing my songs,

When I make my musical sounds!

(2)

I'd rather be singin' and playin'

Than pop a Pop Tart in my mouth

I'd rather be singin' and playin'

And take a long Winter's musical tour down South

Lord help me take this song and apply it to myself

And practice every word I'm sayin'

I'd rather be singin' and playin'

And pass those 31 flavors right on bye.........

Lord help me take this song and apply it to myself

And practice every word I'm sayin'

(Chorus)

*

11. Eye of the Hurricane

Sometime ago on the David Letterman Show, they were discussing the tranquility of being inside the eye of a hurricane. My song is a touch of mellow jazz and tranquility after personally going through Hurricane Andrew.

12. The Dade County Jail (Part 1)

The Dade County Jail located in Miami, Florida is a very challenging place in which to work.? I know, I worked there for 12 years. This mellow jazz spiritual with a "Bossa Nova" beat and guitar/vocal, retraces my steps in that towering place and discovers a bright light in the darkness.

Lyrics

I woke up this mornin' singin' and prayin'

The Bible in my hand said "You Can Not Fail."

Pack up your worries, send them on a vacation

Jesus is coming down to The Dade County Jail.

(2)

Men will dream dreams and some will see visions

A light will pierce the darkness that can not fail.

You'll see them fall and cry for mercy

Jesus is coming down to The Dade County Jail.

(Chorus)

If you feel you've been forsaken

By those wayward steps you've taken.

Come and let Him hold you in His love.

He wants you sinner meek and lowly

He'll make you righteous, clean and Holy

Come and let Him hold you in His love.

*

13. The Dade County Jail (Part 2)

Something of a jazz waltz, this offering is strengthened by spiritual reinforcements and undaunted by the stark realities of life behind bars.

14. When Johnny Comes Marching Home

This is an old song with my new personal lyrics for our war-torn times.

15. A Cowboy for Jesus

As the song says, "Strumming my guitar, Heaven's not so far away. Will you come and ride along?"

16. God's Not Slack in His Promises

With a folk/blues flavor...a better title might have been "Just Expect a Miracle". When you run out of rope, don't give up hope. Don't get hysterical, just expect a miracle! He'll help you cope!

17. Don't Give Up on God

Life is hard but God is good!? This has a mellow guitar/vocal sound. God won't give up on you!

18. Are You Saved?

19. John 3:16

Lyrics

Tell them the war is over,

The victory has been won

The enemy has been defeated

God gave His only Son

(Chorus)

For God so loved the world

That He gave His only Son

Tell them the war is over,

The victory has been won.

(2)

If you're broken hearted

And damage has been done

Come drink the healing water

God gave His only Son

(Chorus)

For God so loved the world

That He gave His only Son

Come on home to Jesus,

The victory has been won.

20. The Bunyan Family Tree

This is a fun song, a kid's song for all of us who are young at heart....and dedicated to Paul, John, Bill, and the greater Bunyan Family around the world where ever you are!

Lyrics

(Chorus)

Our family tree, our family tree

You'll find a lot of history

With lots of folks like you and me

On The Bunyan Family Tree.

(1)

Now here's a picture of Grand Papa Paul

With Babe his Blue Ox in Minnesota one Fall

You can see he was the tallest man of all

On The Bunyan Family Tree.

(Chorus)

(2)

John Bunyan our great hero, was a preacher and a tinker

When he carried his pots and pans, he was also quite a clinker.

But, "Pilgrim's Progress" is his greatest story

For all of us and for God's glory.

(Chorus)

(3)

Bill Bunyan achieved extraordinary fame

As The Hamburger King of the Kansas Plains

He traveled the State with a tasty plan

To find the Best Burger in all the land.

(Chorus)
