I cannot believe ten years has passed since I felt the music had dropped flat dead.
Took five years to face the music...that he was gone...and quite sorely missed.
Took five LONGer years to get to this point...sharing the music with "the world"
The MISSION STATEMENT for this site:
This site is a CELEBRATION of LIFE through words, humor, philosophy, images and sounds with focus on the complicated variety of tones available through the Electric Guitar...COMMUNICATION through MUSIC...perhaps...if I'm lucky{:-)
The plan originally was to debut in the coming fall...While laid-up for the first 3 months of the year {1st of 33+ year guitar-life} thinking I may never play again,
I looked back at some previous work...the result is 88+ new soundclips here now.
There's already some nice rumblings in feedback...VERY nice...THANX!!! {:-)
At 77 Years Young~Bonnie~the only person I could call MOM Passed away...
This debut is for you Mom-Bon {my step-step mom of 35+ years}
Bonnie died in our arms May 3, 2004...Stop Smoking cheap cigs NOW eh? DO IT!
I sang solo for her that day, and promised myself to do more in her honor.
So ergo the debut...there you have it...Going "LIVE" in 2005! For Cyndi too...
Further ruminations...yeah life is like the inspiration Jerry might have gotten or sought in his beloved mission district strolls, I heard...INSPIRATION
Where ever you find it...this site is a TRIBUTE and MEMORIAL to those or that which became or becomes...INSPIRING
This OTHER song...'There Comes A Time'...hits home for me nicely too...I share a part of this studio's version as I bid you good day, and wander out of the maze...
In a nutshell...I am borrowing a song here to further take you to where I am really coming from, if you will induldge me for a moment...it's kinda like this...actually,
I can feel your voice, anybody's choice...let me play you a rare and different tune:
'There Comes A Time'
There comes a time...when the deaf~'dumb' & "blind" man takes your hand...Says.
"Don't ya see? We're gonna make it somehow, on the dreams we still believe...
We ain't givin' it up, we got an empty cup, only love can fill...only love can fill...
You know I walked all morning, been walkin' all night...
And I don't see the difference 'tween the dark and the light...
But I can feel the wind...You know I taste the rain...
And it's never in my heart to cause no pain..."
...There comes a time...when the blind man takes your hand...
Thanks all...PEACE be with you...this Space...WILL...continue! Dano NEWS-flash:
Late April~playing better than ever~Moving~amongst bliss-piration~FURTHER!!!
