it is too bad that humans do not age into things of beauty like old wood
big music week ...i have been studying my new book..."The Listeners Dictionary of Musical Terms"...it is a small book but packed with lots of information,,,most of which i will never use...however i believe many of these terms can apply to other than musical situations...for instance to describe Bidens performance at the debate "ENTSCHLAFEN"...I was noticing some of the tunes that seem to awaken my slumbering psyche...such as a couple by mr. Rateliff..."S.O.B" which has a definite "spiritual" aspect to it...sort of like the "Golden Gate Quartet";...except like Brother Dave Gardner he is preaching FOR it...special credit must be paid to Roo Lewis...and "I need never Grow Old"...which seems to have a "bubblegum" sort of flavor...this is superb video...both of these tunes have some of the best music videos on the internet today...also i came across ms. Ester Rose whose tune "Handyman" is one of the better videos and tunes...this woman is supposed to be from Louisiana and i suppose the lyrics about the levee are genuine...ishe is an amalgum of Jewel, Nikkie Lane and iris dement...I was astounded by Sierra Ferrell and her exquisite voice and guitar (the Gibson guitar she is playing is probably three times as old as she is) ..."Jeremiah" is very well presented as is "Hey me, Hey Mama"...it seems that this woman has a large self destructive streak and she may flame out like Amy Winehouse...addiction steps aside for NOBODY...i watched a documentary about a fellow named Don Cherry who was a musical genius with his little pawn shop horn as well as many primitive instruments and the piano...well worth looking into...also a fellow who calls himself "Shakey Graves" has a very creative suitcase percussion apparatus as well as a good guitar style...
some bad news on the horizon it seems.... i looked into "Project 25" which is being promoted by "The Heritage Foundation" which must be some covert outfit sent over from north korea or there-a-bouts...these people have assembled a 900 page plan to kick the USA into the order that they would like to see...very, very totalitarian...AND we are lucky enough that they say they can implement this plan without bloodshed...if we will allow it....nope i think it is time to lock and load and find out if those persons who are armed and forceful and on the government payroll have any intention of keeping this country free....these folks make the capital rioters look like a sunday school class...we be in a heap of trouble if the government allows this "Project 25" to go into effect...i also recommend that you listen to an episode of "philosophize this' called "are you left or right" which kind of puts into perspective the reality that these are just words and really have no bearing on a persons world view...thanks to stephen west for this great 205 lectures on philosophy...
so i was sort of having a bad day today since both of my truck batteries failed to start the truck this morning so i had to unpack the generator and charge the better battery and the 4:33 am wake-up time went right out the window and the heat of the day battered me until i dived into the library and brought the body temperature down a few degrees...but all the chores got done and it is good to keep these things in perspective...70 years old next week...unless the fates have clipped my thread...
