Here, nothing but time
On my dirty hands
To no avail
Try as hard I might
Pouring every ounce
Of my energy into a song
The only thing I can do for you
Something is wrong
Barely a note breaking through
hardly a clue
Dry as a well
Arid as the desert
I seem to be When will it end?
We will see

What, you’re asking,
Is there to be concerned about
In this anomaly?
Sure this kind of thing
Happens all the time
To all practitioners of
Rhythmic expression
Propelling souls into space; flying
Evoking so many emotions within
Out of the din
But in spite of this
I will persevere
In my endless quest
For voice to express
What I feel

Note . . .

. . to Spicey. . .


Just because your boss:

** shoots from the hip

** speaks extemporaneously from the gut

** does not bother to read or research facts about an issue beforehand

** would rather confront than react or approach something thoughtfully

** has no forethought about the consequences that may result from a statement he makes


. . . does not mean that YOU SHOULD!!!

A Note . . .

. . . to fans of 'He who speaks yet says nothing' . . .


(from http://famguardian.org/Subjects/Politics/thomasjefferson/jeff1350.htm)
". . . An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens. . . "  -  Thomas Jefferson

. . . and if I may ad, a serious candidate for government office must also be 'educated sufficiently'. . .

Is This Draggin' You, Man? . . .

(from Straight, No Chaser; The Life and Genius of Thelonious Monk by Leslie Gourse)
". . . Invited to witness a rehearsal with Monk and Charlie Rouse, (Robert) Kotlowitz (for Harper's) wrote:

Monk feeds . . . Rouse . . . a note or phrase at a time, a mouthful to be digested to bewildered shakings of the head. It can take the entire two hours to get one full minute of music set between the two. Monk and Rouse say their notes, as though music were the simplest, most direct language available to man, and even more, as though B-C sharp, played on an instrument, means something as precise and unmistakable as C-A-T. Throughout the rehearsal, Monk directs with short comments. "You're not making it," he says placidly after the seventh repetition of an octave jump. "Dig it" Well into the next phrase, Monk says, "Don't tough the note, hit it.  And when you it it, augment it."

When he was satisfied, Monk said slowly, "Solid"  To Kotlowitz, who was listening to the repetitions, he said, "This dragging you?" . . . "
