Plunge . . .

". . . At heaven's door we pick the lock, when all we have to do is knock. . . "

(Plunge, from the album Gazebo) " . . . Gazebo is the Baltimore outfit’s fourth album in 45 years goes a long way to explaining their somewhat underground nature. Sound wise they are anything but obscure, a shifting guest list of brass players and others augmenting what is in essence a bright, breezy pop sound that’s draped in something a little more intricate.The original trio with the surname initials O H O, may now be long gone . . . but there’s still a vintage feel to Gazebo, a record that naturally moves from pop to Americana and jazz to prog while still staying resolutely accessible.

How Big? . . .

xhttps://www.californiayachtmarina.com

How do you know when you’re at the end?
Where will you go? 
After so long the marina’s become your friend.
There’ll be a day when your ship comes in.
Take it in stride.
You keep it slow, keep it steady, and all in time.

Half of the T-head on E, Albert.
Half of the T-head on E. 
How big’s your boat gonna be Albert,
When you are free?

Albert always wore a smile on his face,
Never a trace of weariness. 

No one thought Albert would do much more
Than they thought he would.
Albert, oblivious, struggled despite their scorn.
One little blink, he’s no longer there.
Blends with the crowd. 
Sometimes at night he will cry
But it’s never loud.

Always one you’ll find in every crowd.
We sure could use some more like him.

What kind of man would do all the things that he should do?
What’s your reaction? Something you want? Can it be true?

But the perception so widely held 
Is not all that good. 
Such was the case, or was apathy what he befell?
Really, we’re all just like Albert too,
Just not as wise.
One bit of patience, no burden’s beyond your size.

Take your dreams and fly so far from this place.
Feel no regrets, no bridges burned.

Pro-Choice . . .

https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20210219-under-fire-a-
contrite-ted-cruz-returns-from-holiday-to-storm-struck-texas

". . . #YourBodyYourChoice,” Mr Cruz said. All have refused the vaccine or refused to say whether they will take it. . . Film director and comedian Judd Apatow shot back: “So you believe in choice now? Are you going to fight for that? Oh, not for women. Got it.”. . .  "Ted Cruz is pro-choice?" asked (Comedy host Samantha) Ms Bee sarcastically.. . . When the bill (Texas' Republican-controlled legislature has banned all abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, giving citizens the right to sue any doctor who performs one.) took effect on 1 September, Mr Cruz did not mention it at all in his tweets that day, despite being a prolific Twitter user. The next day his office issued a statement saying he was "proud that Texas is leading the charge to defend life". . ."

The Not Very . . .

 . . . horrible early musings of Alexander Hamilton

https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/76549/HAMILTONS-INVADERS-
HORRIBLE-HAMILTON-SPRING-MOTOR-INSECT-TOY

(from Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow)
". . . Nevertheless, he felt obliged to condemn the lawless nature of the action:  In times of such commotion as the present, while the passions of men are worked up to an uncommon pitch, there is great danger of fatal extremes.  The same state of the passions which fits the multitude, who have not a sufficient stock of reason and knowledge to guide them, for opposition to tyranny and oppression, very naturally leads them to a contempt and disregard of all authority. The due medium is hardly to be found among the more intelligent. It is almost impossible among eh unthinking populace. When the minds of these are loosened from their attachment to ancient establishments and courses, they seem to grow giddy and and are apt more or less to run into anarchy. . . "

The Music . . .

. . . and a life
https://www.ethoslife.com

(from https://pan-african-music.com/en/keith-jarrett-a-retirement-in-tatters/)
". . . If Herbie Hancock will be remembered for a few finely tuned hits (“Cantaloupe Island”, “Watermelon Man”, etc), Keith Jarrett will leave to posterity a totally improvised concert recorded at the age of 29 in a small Cologne hall on a winter’s evening in 1975, that have been divided into “Part I” and “Part II”. Despite the dry-sounding set-up (a man, a piano, an audience) and an opening number that lasts for more than 26 minutes, The Köln Concert has fascinated millions of listeners as it captures a virtuoso’s meanderings between jazz, baroque, and sometimes even country. It’s rather like a therapy session held in front of 1,300 people, where the unconscious takes over and dictates the soundtrack. ‘It’s as if my body, my left hand, just knows what to do. If I tell it what to play I get in its way, and I’d stop it from doing something bigger than I could ever imagine,’ explained the man who started playing the piano at the age of 3 and gave his first solo recital at 8. Improvisation, he says, ‘is like being inundated with possibilities that run through your body’. . ."
