. . . Ah, but there will be MORE!!!!

". . . I’ve been meaning to email you for a little while now, and I’m sorry it’s taken me so long.
Got your package on OHO, and yes, I’m definitely interested in featuring the band on my show, Baltimore Hit Parade. I did Steptoe and Pooba as a Baltimore Backtrack, which is a feature where I catch up with Baltimore bands from back in the day. Would you or another member of OHO be interested in coming in for an interview next Tuesday afternoon or sometime during the day next Thursday? We’re at 1 Olympic Place off the circle in Towson. . . "

. . . well hell yes, we WOULD be interested in that.  More Shortly. . .

Long . . .

. . . To Be Latin. . .
live. . .


We spin on an axis as bold as love round a sun that’s alight with fire
It’s true our time is marked by the man in the moon
Don’t walk ahead, don’t walk behind, just be my friend and walk by my side
It's real, this life is by in the blink of an eye.

I live and I long to be Latin as beauty rebels against time
I live and I long to be Latin
The cardinal wish for the scent of the red summer rose.

We have walked the dream palace of yesterday
Where myth is truth and the proof’s hearsay
Memories disguised by the ways that we wish they could be
The drives and input are well defined
Lies rolling off dying tongues chill the soul
Chained in gold we walk a lifelong line.

I live and I long to be Latin.  I’m waiting to see my own eyes
I live and I long to be Latin
But what will I wear to the end of the world, my demise?

Upon the chipped dish the rich and pure fare of the love feast, kissing the sky
As we hold hands in a ring, the night to morning link
Contacts with the light

Be my friend, we can walk side by side
Don’t walk ahead you know I won’t walk behind
Though we stumble through our fears and tears
To the cadence and the tune of the spheres.

I live and I long to be Latin to live the fool and die the sage
I reach and intend to be Latin
To make vision real in the face of chance and circumstance
I live and I long to be Latin to take my stand against routine
I live and I long to be Latin
Where living at risk means I can see what others don’t see

Magic . . .

. . . was in the air. . .


. . . last Friday at Bread & Circuses Bistro's Patio in Towson. The clouds parted, the sun burst gloriously through.  Three mysterious men with musical instruments plowed through three sets of driving, sophisticated and danceable cover tunes interspersed with thought-provoking originals well into the evening. . . all of which seemed to simply appear. . .

. . .Out of Thin Air

When I woke up today I had all that I want
Everything that I did brought desired results
How could this be? All the rules have been changed
In the pool where I drowned I am swimming again.

But of course I am wrong.  How could I understand
When my society tells me how tall I stand?
Then I take it inside and wait for life’s kiss
Which is sure to arrive ‘cause I’m riding my bliss.

What did I do? The world holds me up
Invisible hands grant the nourishing cup
Have I found a way that has always been there?
It seems to me it came out of thin air.

The child waking up brings the old crone to tears
Pushing through my disguise see the tips of my ears
How could this be all the rules have been changed
In the pool where I drowned I am swimming again.

When I blindly reach out to what I cannot see
Grace reappears and it rescues me
I’m not what I feel, I’m not what you think
I’m only what is and what isn’t in sync.


Out of Thin Air

Oho. . .

OHO
FRIDAY, August 9, 2013 @ 8:00PM
at Bread & Circuses Bistro (Patio)
27 E. Chesapeake Avenue
Towson, MD  21286

We complain the floor's uneven  When we simply don't know how to dance  In a sentimental treason 

Each word is charged as every glance My foes approach and I start singing How do I defend against

my friends?  The treasure buried where I fumbled  The ball into the tiger's den  Maddened fingers

spar  With the laughing strings  I was very close but no cigar  We were on the corner with our cup

The lad with light feet made the girl light up  Putting the pep back into the step  Where you would

leap is now where I have leapt I'm an easy victim of nostalgia  I was making friends among the blind 

The filament was bright at high noon Radiating from the signs  Maddened fingers spar With the

laughing strings It was very close but no cigar  Find the low denominator  With a hundred pairs of

eyes  Leaning on an arm that failed us  Against the grain it's common life  I was choking on

imagination  Still I know I get the gist   Sifting through a tired memory  In Paris turning with the twist



OHO is Jay Graboski, David Reeve and Ray Jozwiak
