Lucky . . .

. . . duckies . . .

(from Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them:  A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right by Al Franken)
". . . In all this talk, one thing that gets lost is that there are forty-two million working Americans who have not gotten one cent in (Bush) tax cuts. The Wall Street Journal refers to them as "Lucky Duckies" because they earn so little that they don't pay any income taxes. Many lucky duckies are deeply in debt to predatory lenders. Man of these lucky duckies couldn't afford college and cannot afford health insurance. Some of these lucky duckies, working Americans, will be homeless sometime during the year. Their children, the lucky ducklings, are far more like than my kids, or Paul Gigot's, to be killed violently or die of a preventable disease. . . Apparently, the Wall Street Journal thinks that the unluckiest thing in the world is paying taxes. . . "

Other . . .

. . . end


Silver flecks sprinkled through the azure sky;
Something was in the air I couldn't describe.
Little compares even remotely.
What will we feel later?

On the other end of the. . .
All is done and said before light.
On the other end of the night.

Steps . . .

https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/tyler/fees-facilities/screened-
shelters/screened-shelters


A house isn't always a home.
Being lonely isn't being alone.
Heroes save other ones in distress.
Some in charge end up making a mess.

Though desire directs us to explore,
Prudence sometimes instructs to ignore.
Facts continue to flow and to ebb.
Use the knowledge to choose the right step.



New performance  of an older composition Steps
Recorded March 31, 2020 while sheltering-in-place

Fine . . .

. . . tuning

Practice makes perfect.
Perfection is rare.
Some think they've seen it
When it really isn't there.

I'm not a perfectionist,
But she with whom I'm communing
Doesn't see that this obsession
Is only fine tuning.

Broken

Mother Chi . . .



Like memories, pictures and even sometimes smells,
Emotions evoked by music can explode.
The sources of inspiration are evasive for certain.
For this, it came from a thing called Chicago.

Choice . . .



I perceived the clarinet sample in the program I used to create Incidentally Broken did not have sufficient dynamics to approximate a bass clarinet when played in the lower register. I believe the bassoon sample (utilized in this mix) is more fitting and blends nicer with the remaining instrumentation.

Here. . . give a listen . . .

(alternate mix to that posted 3/27/2020; this having the clarinet voice replaced by bassoon)

Constructive . . .


. . . use of time . . .


. . . Damn the coffee.
Damn the sugar.
Damn the colonies.
Where's my future?
What awaits me?
I don't want to be
Napoleon of broken dreams . . .
