'The Lemon Family Tree' — Original Song by Wayne Sorbelli on Ukulele in the Atlantic Ocean
Wayne Sorbelli took a walk to a secluded Key West beach while writing 'The Lemon Family Tree' — then played it sitting in the Atlantic Ocean in front of the Casa Marina Resort. A rough draft about making the best with what you've got.

I took a walk to a secluded beach while writing a song I've been calling "The Lemon Family Tree" — then played it while sitting in the Atlantic Ocean in front of the Casa Marina Key West Resort.
It's about making the best with what you've got — the classic lemons into lemonade — or my metaphor of bagging cow pellets and selling them as fertilizer.
Lyrics (rough draft):
We all know the story of Family Lemon
Made their fortune with drinks, stands and sellin'
They didn't sit around cryin' 'bout what Santa didn't bringIf life hands you a pile of cow pellets
Bag it up man, bag it up and sell it
Somewhere right now, someone's got a garden to grow(repeat)
