You're a star.
Where you wanted to be,
You now are.
From afar
You appear not too different
Than me.
But the scars
You've acquired 
Did not come free.
Had I tried;
Had I done all I could
With all my might
Would the ride
Give return on the price
Which was required?
Cast aside
Any thoughts of security.

        Black & White Then Back

Evolving . . .

The tune Blood Brother was written sometime back in the late 90s, inspired by swampy funky Little Feat tunes like 'Dixie Chicken.'  I've always been attracted to novelty songs, but novelty in a more subtle form, like 'Dixie Chicken.'  OHO performs Blood Brother very much in the spirit intended, and like all good music, it metamorphosizes slightly with each performance. With Spencer playing the bass these days, I'm free to concentrate on hitting the notes, adding vocal inflections and playing the keyboard (the latter for me always challenging to do simultaneously with the two former.) In any case, I think the performance posted here is commendable for the performance by all. I can't wait to hear where it goes in the future.

The End . . .

. . . of the tale

That's prolly enough 'bout my life at the beach.

I love every season, moments every and each.

I can highly recommend being here by the sea,

Even though not a member of the bourgeoisie.

I still drive my Toyota to the grocery and back,

With occasional detours tempting me from my track.

I must always be careful though, minding my speed,

There's a cop with a speed gun hiding behind that tree.

            Another Shot

Aces . . .

 

https://www.michaelgodardartgallery.

com/products/ace-of-hearts

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.

Ace of Hearts

For The Ride

School . . .

https://www.nkcschools.org

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.

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.
