Insert . . .

. . . 'musician' in place of comic

(from The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell by W. Kamau Bell)
". . . Many of these comics were feature acts who went on before the headliners, so they weren't getting paid the most money. But there was enough money being made in the '80s that feature acts could make a living, something that is impossible now unless you have some sort of mom's basement/living-out-of-your-car situation. And forget having kids or wanting to save money. There's a dwindling middle class in comedy just like there is a dwindling middle class in America . . . "

More Hours . . .

On and on flow the hours
Like rolling waves upon the sea
And like so many and so varied flowers
Each one some nectar for the bee

We're keeping tabs and writing numbers
Logging each minute in the book
We have a choice to
Either dread the counting
Or see the forest if we look

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

There’s no protection from the power
Generated everyday
The blazing lights shine
From each lofty tower
To illuminate the way

Things that never occur to you
In the spring
Become clear with each
Passing season

All options must be on the table
All points of view be understood
And if you don’t do ev’ry thing you’re able
Make sure you do those which are good

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

The Hours

Like Crazy . . .

Black And White Digital Art - Crazy Circles by

Methune Hively

On and on flow the hours
Like rolling waves upon the sea
And like so many and so varied flowers
Each one some nectar for the bee

We're keeping tabs and writing numbers
Logging each minute in the book
We have a choice to
Either dread the counting
Or see the bricks if we just look

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

There’s no protection from the power
We’re generating everyday
The blazing lights shine
From each lofty tower
Just to illuminate the way

Things that never occur to you
In the spring
Become clearer with each moving
Season passing

All options must be on the table
All points of view be kept in sight
And if you don’t do ev’ry thing you’re able
Make sure you do those which are right

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

Spring . . .

(from Mr. Rod Deacey)
Spring flowers are blooming and little yellow flags have shown up in Carroll Creek in downtown Frederick, which means the waterlilies will not be far behind! It’s time for our monthly Songwriters Showcase at Brewer’s Alley in Frederick, Maryland, on the SECOND Monday in the month, April 10 (which is TOMORROW!) so please come out for a great evening! Don’t forget, we start at 7:30... You should arrive early to get good seats, as always, as we have our expected excellent line-up…

We are always delighted to present our featured songwriter this month – our long-time friend TONY DENIKOS, known for his combination of outstanding songs and terrific guitar skills… Plus he does this quirky raspy thing with his harmonica which no-one else can master! Tony’s songs are perfect slices of Americana, punctuated by his wry, self-deprecating delivery, and despite his apologies, they are not depressing so much as authentic… Come and check him out!

Monday’s Piano Prelude, will be played and sung by another authentic voice –
the incredibly talented KATY HYLTON! Katy is moving soon, but we hope she doesn’t move too far away to come back and play for us! During the prelude and beyond, we believe the multi-tasking Christian will be taking care of our food and drinks as usual…

Three-song cameos will be from Todd’s Pick, bluesmeister TOM DEWS, who plays the best rack-mounted blues harmonica you are ever likely to hear, and one of our favorite pianists, ROCKIN’ RAY JOZWIAK, doing a rare three-song spot because we miss him… Poet JOHN HOLLY will be reciting a couple of poems sometime in the evening. I have new poems, and a beat poem with whoever shows up from the Brewer’s BaBoom! Unit (that’s BaBoom, not baboon; you read it too fast…). RON GOAD is doing his best to be present although he has another commitment, so it may come down to TIM BRADY and maybe TOMY WRIGHT.

Soundman and MC duties tomorrow will be undertaken as usual by TODD C WALKER, who likes the spring because that’s when houses practically sell themselves – right, Todd?
