Aces . . .

 


When I see that look upon your face
I know that I’ve been dealt an ace of hearts.
Something starts.
Pulse is pounding like a conga drum.
The blood goes rushing to and from my head,
Turns my face to red.
So ante-up and hit me once then hit me twice.
The stakes are high. 
You know I’ve got to keep as cool as ice.
This game we’re in together
Could end as quickly as it starts.
But I’ll just take my chances.
I’ll just take my chances
Cause I know that I have you
And you’re my . . . 
Ace of hearts.
I know that I have you and you’re my 
Ace of hearts.
Deal me in I’m staying for the course
And if I lose don’t feel remorse for me.
You will always be
In my every breath and in my soul.
When chips are down you take control and then
Bring me back again.

School . . .


Always open to learning something new, especially involving music and the making of, marketing of, subtleties of etc. A long time ago I was sending demos (bad demos) of my songs to record companies, producers, artists, publishers and anybody else that I thought might recognize my (raw) talent and place one of my compositions with an artists who would record it, sell gobs and gobs of records, and make me rich and famous. I also read just about anything I could get my hands on regarding the making and marketing of pop music. One gem that I read said that a great pop hit is one that appeals to sixteen-year-old girls. Based upon that advice, I wrote Ace of  Hearts. The instrumental (solo piano) version of the piece is here. The demo, with vocal and band, recorded at a local studio (time which was a prize won at my first meeting with the Songwriters Association of Washington [DC]), will be posted here shortly.

Cosmos . . .

 


Just Jay, Jay Graboski, OHO (by any name) - the unstoppable force behind the creative, thought-provoking, sophisticated rock music, gathering together sonic elements from A to Z, has created this memorable composition, capitalizing on varied and many contributions, sought and meticulously utilized to maximum effect. It is a pleasure and a privilege to call him friend and musical co-conspiritor.

Eat . . .

The specials sound great and they're such a nice deal.
If I only ate more, great advantage I'd feel.
The Cottage Cafe has fried oysters one night
And the wine is half-price o'er at Finn's, just in sight.
Everyone's got fish tacos, they are really quite good,
And in Ocean View there is number I could
Most certainly partake of, order something I do not
Eat at home on a basis that's regular - or forgot.
That's enough, I must say, about food, cause for sure
I eat plenty, delicious and healthful, be assured.

Off-Season . . .

 

So I turned off the light, closed the door and retired.
From excitement and wonder, I had simply expired. 
That episode done, I started to ponder 
My environment's changes since no tourists did wander.
I've seen space on the beaches, lots of room to spread out.
And the parking lots too seem a pleasure. No doubt. 
The boxes that formerly housed umbrellas and chairs,
Were all vertical in lots by the passthrough in pairs.
Lots of restaurants shelving utensils and vessels,
As the year-rounds prepare all their off-season specials. 
(more to come) 
 

It's Over

Deluded . . .

 

So you tried to exercise your right.
Choose someone who actually would fight
For the things you actually believed
We need to do.
Then, he proved to lack just what it takes
To advance, no matter what the stakes.
All within the rules and regulations;
Protocol.

Still More . . .

 
Now luna, you're going to get a concussion.
If you've hit that screen once, must've hit it a dozen.
Perhaps to your eyes that light is attractive.
If you really got in, you would feel like a captive.
Should I turn off the lights, or turn the television off?
Should we be mouse-ly quiet, cease to talk, even cough?
So back into the woods, our poor luna friend flew.
Left our door screen alone.  Left our deck and house too.
But in some way I felt we had seen something great.
I was fortunate; lucky to have this be my fate.
