Take This Moment . . .

 

https://blog.fireflies.ai/the-real-danger-of-taking-a-chance-52f81c753fc0

Hey you down there on the ground,

Don’t you think that it’s time 

You should fly?

And do you consider the cost

Of the pride that you wear 

Like a smile?

Take this moment

You’ve got here.

You may not 

Get another try.

Sometimes only

One chance comes around

At a time.

It’s two. That’s the number required

For the dance that we do

To get by.

A few drag you into the mire,

But they’re strong

Many wiles they devise.

Doomed if you don’t learn.

Farce is what you earn from the tragedy.

What have we to gain

By being stubborn?

You’re blue and you don’t know why.

Pieces of you are lost in each fight.

I've been told every dog gets his day.

I've seen it happen in some way.

It was, in all truth, gratifying.

But not revenge or sour grapes.

It was only certain, righteous justice;

Reaping just what they had sown.

Unaccountable for so long,

Now they find there's no escape.

Persistence . . .

https://silentbeacon.com/panic-button-for-runners/

Run, run, run for your life.

Run like you've never 

From injustice and strife.

But before you go,

Take one moment please

To explain how it goes

That through each, our own journey,

We surmount many hurdles,

As if actual participants 

In a real tourney?

For The Ride

Coming Soon . . .

 

After regrouping, wood-shedding and playing lots of music with OHO [another Baltimore staple], a new (and very different) Ray Jozwiak - Gonzo Piano album 'Grains' is scheduled for release in June 2022. 'Grains' is an amalgamation of jazz influences and chops, Brill Building writing, lyrics (diametrically opposed to 'Frills') and colors from a life well-lived and loved. On the album you'll find 'Broken', a former tyrant expressing his regrets, 'Thinking', a pure love-song, reflections on recent events 'Otherwise' and 'Elephants' and the frustration with the everyday grind is expressed in 'Baggage'. . . 'Grains' (as in 'like sands through the hourglass' ) will be available from most online music retailers, including music.apple.com and amazon.com, June 7, 2022.

Thanks . . .

WTMD-89.7FM Playlist Feb. 22, 2022 

To Kelly Bell, John R. Buell and WTMD-87.9,

Thanks so much for the airplay. Again, we very much appreciate the opportunity. I believe I sent you the entire GAZEBO album. Here's hoping for some more airplay in the future.  We are now concentrating on the suite we mentioned earlier, AHORA. In spite of our appearance, and obvious years, we are by NO MEANS a novelty nor an 'old guy' band. New music is being produced as you read this, and will continue until we're unable to make music anymore. We would be happy to send you some audio samples in the near future.

Best regards,

OHO

Flower . . .

https://www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/item/what-is-the-largest-flower-in-the-world

Wishing upon a star
Takes me so very far.
Just don’t play around with my heart.
You must take special care
Not to damage or tear
Just the smallest little part.

Sometimes I’m not too clear
What is this thing that I fear.
It’s so difficult to describe.
How can something unknown
Make me feel so alone.
I should be the bigger man
But I clearly won’t. 

I’m just a sensitive flower.
I’m such a sensitive soul.
I’m just a sensitive flower.
So I’ve been told.

Maybe the way I react
Lacks some refinement or tact.
I just do the best that I can.
Sometimes we’re out in a crowd
Full of opinion so loud.
I go back inside of my shell.

No matter how very hard
I try to change how I behave.
I just can’t seem to please
All the people even half the time.
Do you think that I can be saved?

In this state of affairs
Don’t get caught unawares.
Just be cognizant of what’s there.
Why do those who can’t see 
Think that some vision can’t be
Advantageous to possess
For someone like me.

 . . . IN, not up

(from an email yesterday)

We're celebrating our one year anniversary on WTMD and thought a fun way to do it would be to put all of the Homegrown Headliners from this past year in the playlist throughout the week.

You'll [OHO] be included Tuesday February 22nd and we'd appreciate it if you help spread the word to give your peoples a chance to listen.  We've attached a graphic in case you'd like to use it for social media.  Thank you for being part of the show, listeners really dig having our local talent showcased.  We hope it helps people discover great music and put some more arses in seats this summer!
