. . . Blood . . . 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ajar . . .

Many years ago I called my brother and excitedly told him that my computer was a phone, having purchased a new PC and being rather thrilled that I could talk with him using solely that device.  He deadpanned in response, "yeah, well my door is ajar."

Now I'm on my second MacBook in six years and must invest the time into learning the quirks of a new and improved operating system and have migrated my old files to the new unit but now must make sure that they're in the correct account so that I can take full advantage of all the programmatic improvements Apple has made and at the same time remove old, redundant and superfluous files in order to avoid bogging down the new unit's performance and being the more mature, somewhat impatient character that I am, although Apple products (I have found) are much more intuitive than MS, I still somehow wish that I could do this MUCH FASTER.

History . . .

. . . With members Jay (guitar/vocals), Jeff (drums)[later replaced by David], Greg (sax/vocals) and myself (keyboard/vocals), we undertook a string of private affairs and wedding receptions.  Soon we decided to dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of a regular engagement, most desirably at a nightclub.  Our one weak point however in pursuit of this lofty goal was our repertoire.  Our rehearsals were few and far between.  In fact, I now cannot remember an actual rehearsal with this incarnation of 'Ful Treatment.' To our chagrin,  and self-deceiving disbelief, club owners actually wanted the bands they hired to play the current top-forty popular favorites to which the audience could dance.  We, in our haughty laziness (or was it lazy haughtiness?) refused to do that.  In fact we simply continued to play as much of our uptempo (and preferably 'newer') material instead of succumbing to the current trend of disco music brought about by the recent resurgent popularity of the Bee Gees thanks to the film Saturday Night Fever.  In our defense, we did learn a new number or two, just simply not enough to market ourselves as a top-forty act. Another improvement that we opted not to pursue was the hiring of a fifth band member to play the bass guitar, a definite enhancement to a combo's authenticity when reproducing dance music (as well as rock music in general), and mainly for the reason that it would have resulted in another party with whom to share the money.  .  .

Blood Brother
(OHO rehearsal recording January 30, 2015)

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

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 

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

I'll be your Blood Brother

By your side through thick and thin

I'll be your Blood Brother

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

Ho . . .

. . . bo?. . .

.

(from wikipedia.com)
". . . The origin of the term is unknown. According to etymologist Anatoly Liberman, the only certain detail about its origin is the word was first noticed in American English circa 1890. Liberman points out that many folk etymologies fail to answer the question: "Why did the word become widely known in California (just there) by the early Nineties (just then)?"Author Todd DePastino has suggested it may derive from the term hoe-boy meaning "farmhand", or a greeting such as Ho, boy!Bill Bryson suggests in Made in America (1998) that it could either come from the railroad greeting, "Ho, beau!" or a syllabic abbreviation of "homeward bound".[4] It could also come from the words "homeless boy". H. L. Mencken, in his The American Language (4th ed., 1937), wrote:

    Tramps and hobos are commonly lumped together, but see themselves as sharply differentiated. A hobo or bo is simply a migratory laborer; he may take some longish holidays, but sooner or later he returns to work. A tramp never works if it can be avoided; he simply travels. Apart from either is the bum, who neither works nor travels, save when propelled to motion by the police. . ."







. . . or "Homeless Brother"?
