  • Hamell not only records music, performs live, does independent writing, he also paints. All of the images below, and many you see as the accompanying artwork on the digital releases, are Hamell paintings. These vary in size and price, but are all acrylic on canvas. Hamell paints scenes inspired by the 'underground' and 'disenfranchised' of our society. Ed uses bold and bright colors in his paintings which contrast the darker subject matter, championing the underclass, drawing you into the characters he depicts, endearing you to them and sparking emotions one might not anticipate.Hamell is also available for specific painting commissions.

about

If you're gonna steal from somebody it should be Chuck Berry right?

lyrics

I'm gonna win the lottery, a dollar down you wait and see, Ping Pong balls speak to me, exacto match numerically. I'll be flying when I enter, the lotto redemption center, get calls from new family members, it's a shame I never met ya.Yeah, yeah, yeah,...
get 'em easy I'm no jerk, call the Psychic Network, dial 800, she will say, What's the way to San Jose? I am just a common fella, let me talk to the fortune teller, crystal ball, what you gotto? Pick me six for my lotto, I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win the lottery.
I'm gonna get a brand new car, with stereo TV and bar, fax and email, cellular, room to crank up my guitar. Do not say, you ain't able, to fit in my billiard table, then the sauna, then the cable, backseat is a polo stable. yeah, yeah, yeah...
A new house, for my wife, we've been dreaming all our lives, six blocks long, 40 acre spread, have to take a cab from the bath to the bed. My wife thinks of her family, a woman of generosity, that's okay I dig her mother, bribe the judge, parole her brother. I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win the lottery.
Now i got the dough to feed 'em, I'm gonna get to work and breed 'em. their dad is a high roller, Porshe engine for their stroller, I'm gonna find a charity, people who took care of me, cancer and alzheimers, money well spent no social climber, I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win the lottery.
