Blood Brother . . .

https://www.hillavenuegrace.org/sermon/blood-brother-april-18-2019-maundy-thursday/

I'll be your Blood Brother,

By your side through thick and thin.

I'll be your Blood Brother,

Just as long as I don't have to bloody

My hands. 

Bar rooms sure have a funny way

Of bringing loyalty out in a man.

Buy a drink and tell a joke

And buddy you've got you a friend.

But keep a good eye upon that friend,

Because he really doesn't give two hoots.

And don't say anything about his Mom,

His girlfriend, or his army boots.

Walked into an auto-mo-showroom.

I need some wheels but got no money to spend.

When a guy with an ugly tie

Walks out and acts like he's my long-lost friend.

I said hey Buddy I've a purpose here,

And if you please I will accomplish my goal.

So don't you slap me on the back again,

Cause if you do I might just lose my control.

So please be careful when you meet someone

Who'll make a promise at the drop of a hat.

And don't provide them with encouragement.

You will regret the day you offered him that.

Cause everybody needs some empathy,

But just how willing

And how far will they go

To really help you when the chips are down?

Can they be trusted half as far as you throw them?

Looking . . .

http://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-binoculars.html

. . . back



Two hands wrapped tightly
Round a perspiring glass
I see a little tear
That I hope won't last
I’m wishing that what appears
Will disappear fast
I should have stopped myself
From speaking my mind
But just like a children's toy
I had to unwind
Now look at the consequence
It wasn't the time

Hindsight's gold
So I'm told
But could not admit
Hindsight's gold
Truth as old
As the pyramids

Always the last to know
And always behind
Shoot from the hip react
Behavior all mine
I was raised to know better
But still I decline
The last thing I want to see
Is that tear on your face
The last thing I want to be
Is the villain whose case
I’ve assumed by default it seems
And lives in disgrace

Can an old dog learn
How to do something new
Many times been burned
Understand it but
Just can't follow throught

Some kind of malady
Or some kind of curse
Whichever's afflicting me
It can't get much worse
I can't be concerned much more
And I'm not the first
I’m sorry for what I've done
And what might still come
I’d like to just disappear
But where would I run
There's nothing to show for this
My lesson is done

Hindsight

Beneficial . . .

(from http://www.globaltrademag.com/in-the-news/nafta-negotiations-restart-today)
". . . A Trade Partnership Worldwide for the Business Roundtable report concludes that a termination of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) would have significant negative impacts on the economy and employment in the U.S. High tariffs would be reimposed on U.S. exports and imports, which would reduce competitiveness both domestically and abroad. U.S. exports would drop, to Canada, Mexico and globally, as U.S. output becomes more expensive. Foreign purchasers would shift away from U.S. goods and services in favor of lower-cost goods and services made elsewhere. Lower output will translate to less employment: 1.8 million workers would lose their jobs in the first year. . ."

Walk Back. . .

. . . is a term that seems to be heard a lot lately and one that I believe we will be hearing again and again in light of the recent presidential election results.


. . . on prosecuting Hillary Clinton, he replied, “It’s just not something that I feel very strongly about."

. . . on torture, Mr. Trump told the Times, is “not going to make the kind of a difference that a lot of people are thinking.”

. . . on climate change and Paris accords . . . “I’m looking at it very closely,” he said. “I have an open mind to it.”

. . . on changing the libel laws . . . “’You know, you might be sued a lot more.’ I said, ‘You know, I hadn’t thought of that.’”

Hear Ye. . .

. . . Hear Ye!!

This is the Day. . . April 2, 2013

My new, digital-download only, solo, instrumental piano music release BLACK & WHITE then BACK is now available at www.cdbaby.com.  The first exclusively solo acoustic piano music release since 2008's critically acclaimed 'Put A Finger On It'. 

BLACK & WHITE then BACK transports you to aural locales inhabited by emotions, sentiments, memories, hopes, joys and challenges- life events that we have all encountered. You may even hear a snippet of an old song you remember from childhood, have flashes from your first date with that special person, recall the evocative aromas from the kitchen while visiting your grandmother, remember your favorite summer vacation . . . or maybe even the first time you fell in love.

BLACK & WHITE then BACK is a digital download-only release brought to you by Boskey Dell & Sylvan Glade Records and www.cdbaby.com.

Ever wish. . .

. . . you could go back in time?

I have, although not quite THAT far back.  Just far enough to get a 're-do' and prevent the disaster that has now been wrought.  Well, if not quite a disaster, at least one bad night.
